GervaIs was visited by a destructive
Gre Sunday night. With the exception
OF Pechner's general merchandise store
and w. Scott Taylor's harness shop,
the entire business district OF the city
was burned to the ground. The total
damage will approximate $4,000, with
only a small amount Of insurance.
Started at io:30 o'clock.
The fire started at the rear OF
Thompson's confectionery shop, in the
Mckinley Mitchell building. II was
discovered about 1O.SO o'clock, but
spread with amazing rapidity, and was
soon beyond the control of the yolun-
teer FIRE fighters.
The buildings being OF wood, with
but one exception, the blaze had
splendid fuel. The fre first burned 20
the south, laying In ashes the hard
ware stores OF b. A. Mailman and II.
A. Mangold, Niblers butcher shop,
Weiss furniture store and other build
ings. A breeze from the southeast
kept the flames from crossing the
street, and Pickner's store escaped.
The breeze drove the flames in the op-
posite direction, and the work OF de-
struction continued with even greater
fury. The volunteer fire department
worked most faithfully. But for the
services Of tsese fighters Nibler's ho-
tel would surely have been burned,
anu then the residence district OF the
eastern part Of the city would have
gone also. A woodshed and other
adjoining buildings but two feet dis.
tant. burned 10 the ground. but, by
hard fighting, the hotel building, which
was ahame a dozen times, was saved
Water Tank Burned.
The city water tower, which was
equipped with tank OF 10000 gallon
capacity. caught on fire within but a
few seconds after the blaze first
started. Il burned rapidly, and was of
no ass stance 10 the fire fighters, whose
only agency for fighting the flames was
an antlquated hand pump. This was
employed for all Il was worth women
and girls volunteering their services
In its operation. The burning of the
water tower suggests tho question as

tower had burned the only source for
obtaining a water supply with which

c.-y cisterns. and all but one of these
was so close TO the burning buildings
that they could not be used. The city
water supply finally became exhaust.
ed, and a large bucket brigade was
formed, and water was carried from
the many wells about the city.
Communication Cut OF.
Among the ilrst buildings to he
burned was the drug store Of DIR. p. VI.
Fitzzgerald In which was located the
telphope exchange. The local tele.
graph wires were also burned and ron
dered inaerviceable early In the night,
thus cutting on the burning town from
all communication from neighboring
towns. This damage had been ac-
complished before the real serious
ness OF the situation was disclosed An
attempt 20 get communication with Sa-

DIR. L. A. RUssLow,

DEAR SIR am in receipt of your late
favor, and in answer thereto will say, as /
have said to others:-
That Prohibition has been the policy of
Vermont for half a century and probably
will continue to be, as, in my opinion, it
has the approval of the majority of the
people Of the state. Changes, however, in
the statute, of more or less significance,
have been made or proposed from time to
time. As in the past so in the future, the
voters in the several towns have been and
will be in the habit OF discussing this and
other issues in their local canvasses and
the result cannot fail to be reflected in
the complexion of the representatives
chosen TO the General Assembly. Should
these representatives, fresh from the peo-
pies hands, adopt any constitutional meas
ure strengthening or modifying the stat
ute in any regard, were / placed in po-
sition where should be called on to act, l
should approve the measure. The same
majority, under our constitution, that en-
acts a bill can re-pass it if it be disapproy-
ed by the Executive. | am,
Yours very truly,

Important Doines BY Congress.
The House did an unexpected thing
Friday, when, by a combination of
Democrats and disaffected Republicans,
the regular Republicans were beaten and
the differential duty on sugar struck out
of the Cuban reciprocity bill. Such an
amendment was made, and the chairman
ruled it out of order. On the appeal he was
overruled, III to 100. The duty was then
stricken out by a larger majority. The
bill is now before the Senate, where the
House amendment will probably be strick-
en- out. The Chinese exclusion bill passed
the Senate last week, Senator Hoar being
the only senator to vote against it. The
bill is merely an extension OF the present
law, and much less radical than the House
bill. The Senate has passed the $4,000, 600
river and harbor bill and is working on the

nal measures. The House will consider

Medicine Without a License.

Chicago, Sept S.--For having prac-

e. Miller, president of st. Luke's So
ciety, was fined 500 and costs by JUS
tice Chott. The case was prosecuted
by the state board of health. 1t was
alleged that Miller administered medi-
cine to patients in the sanitarium con-
Quoted by him, which recently was
destroyed by fire with great loss of
life.
Catherine Brooks and other former
inmates of the place testified against
the accused Miller denied he had
ever practiced medicine, but admitted,
it is said, that when the doctors were
absent he did administer hypodermic
injections. 1t was this treatment on
which the prosecution based it's main
hope of securing a conviction. Miller
has twenty days in which to take an
appeal
