The manufacturing section of the
village of Jacksonville in the town of
Whitingham was burned out Tuesday

$1,000 and throwinga a score ofmen out

The fire started in the boiler room OF
the North River Mfg Co. and made a
clean sweep along that side of the
street to Mr.. Reeds barn where it was
stopped by the Wilmington and Reads
boro fire department which were tele-
phoned for and did good work.
The property burned included the
shop of the North River Mfg. Co.

of sash doors and blinds, the hall Of
the Knights of Honor, Postmaster
Albert Stetson's house and barn, the
Buildings on the Dan Collins place,

its value.
A man named Coleman and Post

injured. The shops burned were the
property OF the estate of the late j, c.

A special from our Readsboro cor
respondent this morning says that
there we're severe forest fires in the
town Of Whitingham yesterday, and
the residence OF Charles Morse was
saved from burning by hard work of a
gang of men, The fires were under
control this morning. No fires in
that immediate vicinity, but a large
one reported Ia Stamford.
Inquiries to the north part of the
county bring no reports of fires In
that section, but it is stated that Dan
by mountain is a mass OF flame.

An alarm from box as at 2:45 Mon
day morning brought out the fire de-
partment for the second time within a
week. The fire was in the wooden
building corner of Pleasant and North
streets owned by H. w. Brewster OF
Middlebury. The flames had gained
considerable headway when discovered
by officer Kelly, The FIRE had appar-
emily broken out on the side near the
brick block, from which it was separ-
ated by narrow passage and was de-
cidedly suggestive that the blaze was
not accidental.
The 6re department was on hand
promptly, and soon had the flames
under control, but the building was
comparatively ruined. 1t was insured
for $500.
The lower floor was occupied by E.
H. McCue's market. He states that
no one had been in the building as far
as he knew since he closed Saturday
night. He had about $500 in stock and
fixtures and an insurance of $500.
Overhead James Silk had a quantity
of dry lumber, most of it hard pine,
and considerable mouldings, which
was badly damaged. He had an in
snrance of $500.
