sowoolNHAm FIRE NOTES.
A Great Blow to Town. But Citizens
Are Full of Pluck.

Two grocery stores remain in the
village. These are owned by H. D.
Cornish and c. w. Sedgley.
r. w. Carr, in connection with his
American express business, also carried
small line.
w. E, Rideout has leased the brick
store and will again open up his groc-
cry business as soon as goods can ar
rive.
Mr.. Gould informed the Journal,
Monday, that he could not tell whether
he would again go into business, but it
is rumored that l.. d. Small and Mr..
Gould are both thinking of leasing
Fulton store. formerly occupied by w.
d. Hutchins.
1t was rumored on the street, Mon
day, that S. w. Carr would rebuild the
corner block. Some thought he might
erect a brick building. Sunday night,
it was said that he would give the lot
to anyone who would build a business
block thereon.
The StiDsOn House was one of the
largest buildings burned. It contained
about 20 rooms. There were no guests
at the house at the time, one boarder,
E. S. McKeeman, being in RumfOrd
Falls. His trunk was removed to a
place of safety.
At the carriage shop of ]. NJ. Fulton,
those who were at work trying to save
the contents of the shop. were driven
back time and time again. by the
flames. AS soon as the outside doors
were opened. the sparks would beat
in and set little fires almost instantly.
These were continually put out and the
door opened only long enough to let
out Il carriage or sleigh. Some of these
things were taken out through large
window in the opposite side of the
building.
The insurance on Hetherly r. Hink-
ley's property had run out only about
10 days before the fire. Mr.. Rideout's
fire insurance policies had expired only
a short time ago and he was intending
to renew them Jan. list.
Sunday afternoon, while one of the
firemen was heating the engine house,
that building caught fire from an over
heated stove. 1t was extinguished
without damage.
One OF the business men OF the place
remarked, Saturday morning, when the
kindlingwood mill caught fire, that
there would be three fires before the
week ended. His superstitions seemed
to prove correct, as the big fire. and
the fire in the engine house made the
necessary number.
Mrs. John BOdwell. mother of Mrs.
Alphonse Berry. who lived over Berrys
variety store was taken from the burn
ing structure unconscious. She suf-
fered a severe nervous shock caused
by the excitement due to the fire and
her condition was serious, Monday
She is an aged lady.
