FIRE IN HAZEN BLOCK,

Box 10 was pulled shortly after ten
o'clock Monday evening for what proved TO
Dc lively blaze in Hazen block on Main
street. The blaze was first discovered in
the rear room OF the clothing store of s. A.
Levin. The proprietor and his clerk state
mat everything. was all right when they
locked up at half past niue. The fact that
several bottles partly filled with kerose @
were found in this room after the fire was
extinguished gave rise to a suspicion in the
minds OF some that the fire was OF incendi-
sry origin. The store was kept under police
supervision all night. W. @. Wsshburn,
who had placed some of the Insurance.
wired the companies represented to send an
adJuster. The claims for damage may be
contested.
Chief of Police Demeritt was first on the
scene and with small hose from the store
OF Bivers Brothers adjoining attempted to
hold the flames in check until the tlremen
arrived. When stream form Volunteer
nose company was turned on the chief got a
thorough wetting, as the fremen did not
know he was inside.
Good work Of the fire department prac-
ticaliy confined the flames to the room in
which they originated. Q. II. Shipman on
one side and Rivers Brothers and Chapman
Brothers on the other were in imminent
danger Tor a few minutes. Mr.. Shpmau
and Chapman Brothers were not damage
by fire or water, but their goods were
ohoioukhiJ odturdleu WIN smoke. Il6
drugs, ETC., in the store of Rivers Brothers
were soaked. Their loss Will be in the vi.
cinity OF $780,
The stock in the clothing store is nearly a
total loss from fire and water. The tenants
in the upper stories were driven out by
SMOKE, but no fire reached them.
After the "all out' had been sounded
Chief Engineer j. w. Peck W. T. Dewey,
A. g. Eaton, r. r. Dswley and Chief De-
merritt examined the room where the fire
started. They found two bottles, one on
the floor which contained little kerosene
and another empty, on a lower shelf. On
this shelf and under the bottle was found
kerosene. The fire attracted an unusually
large number OF people, and it was neces-
sary to rope the streets so as not to impede
the work OF the fremen. The "all out"
was sounded in just one hour after the
alarm was pulled.
The insurance Is as follows: s. A. Levin,
stock, New Hampshire Fire, $1,000; Fitch
burg Mutual $1,000; williamsburg City,
$1,000, with j. G. Brown; Orient $1,000

FIRE IN LOWELL,

At one O'Clock last Saturday morning the
wstchman at j. FL. Silsby & Co.'s lumb or
mills, discovered fire in the boiler room.
He had barely time to open the whistle and
tie It, when he was driven out by the heat.
One OF the finest dressing mills in New
England, together with two kilns each q
hundred feet long, an extensive box fac
tory, blacksmith shop, lumber sheds filed
with many catloads Of dressed hard and
spruce lumber, and large quantity un-
dressed in the yard were ally destroyed.
There was no insurance ON any OF the prop
erty. The saw mill, in close proximity,
was saved by the heroic exertons OF two or
three hundred men and women, each OF
whom worked as If the burning buildings
were their own. the dwelling house Of
Peter Martin, on the opposite side of the
street, was consumed, with considerable of
his furniture. Two tenements, owned by
Irwin Stephensoh and Eugene Grant took
fire, but were saved by the bucket bri-
gade.

LETTER TO HON. T. j. DEAVITT,
(Montpelier, ~

Dear Sir: A bankers business is to
know pretty much everything. Here's a
part OF it, we'll worth anyone's knowing.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint that lasts
twice as long as lead and oil. Our agent
sells 1t under this qua: sntee:
"If you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting 1t on, or here
after in the wear, tell your dealer about it
1--WE au horize him to do what is right at
out expense"
II you get your house painted with it,
and it wears no better than most lead and
oil, you will have good cause Of complaint;
and we must pay damages.
This is the paint that looks ss good, and
wears twice as long, as lead and oil.
Yours very truly,
36 +. W. DEvoE & Co.

On the Best Terms Offered
by any Company.

We are prepared to make loans on
aGaproved farms for a term of ten years,
with interest payable annually. We
. will give the borroWerer the privilege
of making a payment of as much as
one-ffth of the principal at any time
each year, thereby stopping the inter
est on the amount paid. By this
method the borrower is enabled to pay.
off the full amount Of the loan in i've
years. The privilege to pay one-fifth
each year is optional with the borrow
er. He can, ifae chooses, keep the
loan for the full Tine. No extra charge
for this privilege. which enables the
farmer to be out of debt in five years if
/ he chooses. Should the borrower con-
clude to pay only one-tenth of his loan
each year, be would then be out of
debt at the end of ten years. As most
borrowers pay the agent a commission
for their loans, it is very easy to see
she advantage of the above plan. TT
enables the farmer to save the eXpens-
es of making a new loaE every three
or five years. Our mortgages have no
.,o4d clause.
If you want a loan, investigate our
plan before going elsewhere. Address
