FIRE AT DR.. HAMILroN's.

Damage Of $1ooo-Blaze Was Under
the Roof and Was Very Difficult to
Reach.
The house on North Main street
occupied by DR.. Fremont Hamilton
was damaged by fire and water Satur-
day forenoon and household goods to
the value of several hundred dollars
were destroyed. The loss on both
the building and contents probably
will reach $1,000. The fire broke
out through the roof near a chimney in
the main part of the house about lO.4O
O'Clock. and swas seen by several per-
sons at about the same time, among
them being Mrs. S. w. Kimball, Miss
Mary r. Cabot and L. d. Taylor
Charles Melen, employed at the Cabot
home. ran to the fire alarm box on
the common No. rs. and attempted to
null in an alarm At the same in
slant Mr.. Taylor attempted to pull
in an alarm from box 6, near the High
school building. The mechanism of
the alarm system is such that when
an alarm is pulled from one box it
cuts out all other boxes, so when
both boxes were operated at once the
system failed to work, although the
clock work ran the usual length of
time Failing to get an alarm from
either of the boxes mentioned, an
alarm was pulled in, from box "a, near
the Unitarian church, but this could
not work until the other boxes had
, run down, when it gave one alarm.
The trouble with the alarm caused a
delay in getting the department to the
scene of the fire, but the firemen
did effective service, although the fire
was in a location extremely difficult
of access, being in the attic over the
second story, which was reached by
means of a ladder. The chemical eX-
tingusher was used first, but the fire
had progressed so that it was neces-
sary to turn on streams of water
Three streams were used from the
hydrants on the common and at the
corner of Main and Walnut streets.
BY this time practically all of the
furniture in the main part of the
house had been removed. escaping
damage by the volume of water that
came down from the attic. The recall
was sounded at 11.20.
The fire was confined to the attic.
where hair mattresses, clothing etc,
were stored. Among the articles
burned was seal-skin coat owned by
Mrs. Hamilton and stored in the attic
for the summer The building is
owned by Albert c. Aldrich of Boston
and is insured for $1,000 in H. f.
Taylor & Sons agency. The contents
are insured for $4,000, in the same
agency. The chimney near where
the fire started burned out Friday, and
it is probable that Saturdays fire start
ed at that time.
When the fire broke out Willard
Cobb was near by with his automobile.
He started for the steamer house, took
in Chief Engineer Sanders and carried
him to the fire. Returning with II. c.
Rice he went to the Main-street bridge,
where he met hose cart No. 6, and the
two hauled the cart through Main
street behind the automobile at pace
which made onlookers dizzy. The
fire alarm box No. rs was tested by
Electrician Henkel Saturday night and
worked perfectly.

FITcHeURe BEATEN 22-o.
snappy Foot Ball Game, but Visitors
Were Too Small to Cope with Brat
tIeboro.

were TOO small to Cope with Brat-
tleboro.
Although beaten % to by Brattle-
boro, Fitchburg was far more of a pro-
position than either Greenfield or
keene. The team was made up of
light but speedy players, and weight
considered, their line held wonder
fully well. The visitors were not
strong enough however, to leave the
result in doubt after the lineup.
1t was a surprise in the opening
when Fitchburg held for downs. Her
backs could not gain and the ball went
quickly back to Brattleboro Then
March went tearing around right end
for 65-yard run and touchdown,
from which he kicked goal. Soon
after the next lineup Conland ran for
80 yards and was not tackled until
within the 10-yard line. but then Fitch
burg gained the ball on downs. The
punt was short however. and %
yard run by Ferriter and a good gain
by March brought a second touch
down Stolte returned the next kick
off The ball was exchanged two
or three times. Ferriter made one
25-yard run. Conland's hurdling
evoked applause. and the irrepressible
March finally trotted around the end
for the third touchdown from which
he kicked goal. Ftchburg seemed
to grow stronger as the game pro-
crossed, and in the second half Brat
tleboro scored only once, and then not
until after several minutes of play.
The ball was exchanged on downs
three or four times. Ellis, Conland
and Cooley frequently made their dis
| tances, but soon afterward the Fitch
burg line would hold without a break.
Ellis finally made the touchdown on a
dash of 25 yards. Before time was
| called Ferriter had made one run of 90
| yards.
/ Marchs end running was again the
feature of the play. but Conland play
| ed the game of his life and helped
March repeatedly by putting the tack
! lers out of business. Ferriter was
! also decidedly in the game, and Stolte
! handled and returned kicks in good
form. The tackling by the Brattle.
boro team was better than in any pre-
''ious game. March and Cooley making
some noticeably effective tackles. The
work of Allen and Williamson in the
line was good at all times. Captain
Williamson retired in the second half
in order to coach the team. and Thorn
as took his place. The two Murphys
Mcmillan. Ahern and T. Sheehan ex-
celled for Fitchburg. The Murphys
were good sprinters, and two or three
times made threatening bids for long
runs. The lineup:

TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not the Reason.

II is not because Pyramid Pie cure
is so expensive that many people de-
cline TO give il a trial, but because they
find IL too great a tax on their credulity
to believe that the published letters
bearing testimony to the merit OF this
remedy are genuine and bona tide; es-
pecfaliy to those who have realized the
suffering incident 10 piles IS II IN
credible that anyone who has Deen
afflicted twenty-five and thirty years
with the worst forms Of prOtrudlns
and bleeding piles should be cured by
the application of simple remedy
when their physician has assured them
that the only relief Is IN surgical
operation. This is rightfully viewed
with dread by all those afflicted, as II
means at the least a great shock TO
the nervous system. with more than
possibility OF utter collapse and death,
in the majority OF cases, too there IS a
return Of the complaint, owing TO the
fact that the cause is not removed.
The proprietors of Pyramid Pile
Cure agree TO forfeit one thousand
dollars 10 anyone who VIII show
single published testimonial TO be not
genuine and unsolicited. this latter
feature is most gratifying, inasmuch as
these letters are written solely out OF
gratitude. and with the hope that those
who are afflicted as the writer's have
been may learn that relief is at hand,
at a comparatively tTifiing expense.
