FIRE ON CHURCH STREET.
Stock in Mrs. T.. c. Dodg.'s Millinery PAR
lors tonsiucrably Damaged by smoke.

Al $40 sunday evening smoke was seen
issuing from the windows of Mr. l.. 6.
lodges millinery parors on Church
street. c. Z. Nash notified station one
and an alarm WAS Immediately rung III
from box A. An entrance was quickly ei-
fectcd hut the smoke in the rooms vas so
dense that the fircmcn experienced cohSl-
dcrable difficulty in fighting the FIRE. Lad
ders were run up to the front windows
which were raised and in this way the
room was soon sufficiently cleared from
smoke to enable the successful lighting
of the fire The chemical engine alone
was brought into service, although lines
of hose were strung in readiness for use
If needed.
The fire originated as nearly as can
be ascertaincd, from spontaneous combu--
ton in a box of oil paints that was stored
in 4 closet Mrs. Dodge was in the rooms
at about 10 o'clock in the morning ana re-
NAMED for some time but noticed no
smoke. a large crowd gathered to see the
destruction of the goods but were unrS-
varded as the flames were at no time plainly
visible from the outside. Tn" closet IN
which the blaze started was allied with a
large line oil expensive pattern hats, ope-
cial frames and other furnishings which
might easily take fire and shoulder for a
longtime. Chief Murray expressed the
opinion that the fire must have been burn
ing for two or three hours. The goods in
the closet were a total loss and the fire
ate it's way from the closet along one
wall and the ceiling for a consido bile dis
lance before it was eXtinguishod.
Mrs. Dodge had just completed her in
ycntory preparatory to leaving for New
FORK Sunday night to purchase her fall
goods. and her feathers, flowers. velvets
and ribbons were all open and almost COM
pietely ruined by smoke. The furnishings
of the rooms were also ruined. Shccsti-

Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that 1t Is not uncommon for a child to b"

step should be towards the treatment OF
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit

REV. DR.. HAYES RESIGNS.
ASKS FIRST CHURCH TO ACCEPT HIS
RESIGNATION NEXT MONTH.
Desires to DO Released by tho End OF
October Nearly 10 Years Successful
Tastornto Will Terminate IT tho
Church Accepts the Resignation.

At the close Of the regular mid-wcck meet
ting of the First Church Thursday evening
Rev. Edward Halves, -. D., who has been
its beloved pastor for nearly hitocn years,
presented his letter of resignation, stat
ms that in his judgment it should take
effect not later than the cud of October
Or. lIawcs suggested that the church take
action upon his letter at the meeting to be
held next Thursday evening.
If the First church should accept the
resignation Of Dr. Halves the city would
suffer the loss Of one of its most useful
ard honorcd citizens, who is always
ready to help every good cause by wise
counsel and eloquent voice. HIS many
warm friends in other city churches and
throughout Vermont will await the action
of the First church with the eager hope
that DR.. Halves will not be permitted to
rolnduish his work here at this time. His
departure would be felt as a personal loss
by large numbers outside of his own con-
greEaton.
DR.. IIawes's letter follows:
TO the Members of the First Church, Bur-
lington.
NV Dear Friends :--Whon the next

other results of it besides those of which

RElGHBORS QUARREL.
Judge Russell Trying to settle Diner
enccs Hetween Oscar Guyette an Net
In,


The police, the city Judge and the grand
Juror were called upon Monday to adj
lust the differences in the families of OS-
car Guyettc and Melvina Sweeney of
North Winooski avenue. Tho task proved
a hard one and after working upon the
matter nearly all the afternoon Judge RUS
sell continued the case until next Monday.
Complaint was entered by Mrs. sweeney
against Oscar Guycttc, who appeared I'M
der a charge of breach of the peace.
1t appeared that the two families live
next door to each other and they quarrel
more than they should. The base of the
complaint was the alleged fact that one
Of Guyette's children had thrown stone
at one Of the Sweeney children from a
second story window. The stone hit the
child in tho head and when Guyetto came
home on his nsh-sclinG cart h. was told
of the matter went to Mrs. sweeney ;
doorway and notified her that such mat
tiers must stop. The manner in which the
notification was given WAS much con-
tested point and the evidence as TO the
words used varied from very vile language
to the urimpas-ioned statement, which
Sweeney himself claimed to have made
The two families have had not a little
trouble previously and some little time age
it was claimed that one Of the children
placed paris green on an apple and pre-
scented it to the other. 4. Y. opauldinG
appeared for the defendant.
