Million.
; MILLS, 2 CHURCHES.
And 200 Houses Wiped Out in Fierce
Fire In New Hampshire Town.
800 Homeless.

Laeonia, n H., May 26.--A city in
darkness tonight, nearly 100 buildings
burned, $50 persons made homeless and a
loss Of between s450,0OO and 100000 is
the story in short Of the greatest fire this
city has ever experienced, If not the state
of New Hampshire. The burned district
IN the Lakeport section covers about $50
acres
The fire caught from an insignificant
blaze in the boiler room Of the Fl. II.
Wood hosiery mill In Is minutes the
flames were beyond control. A brisk wind
carried the fire to the finished lumber
plant of Boulia &GOrrel company and then
to the works OF the Laconia Electric Light
company. In less than an hour both these
plants were fat
The city fire department not only was
unable to check the flames at this point
but could do nothing 10 put out small fires
which had begun to show themselves on
buildings on the west side Of the Winni-
pesaukee river. The result was that as
the burning brands began to fall on houses
even some distance away street after street
became a locality for bad dres. By four
o'clock the conilagration was acres In ex-
tent. The work Of destruction went on
until the FIRE actually burned itself out for
want Of material, having reached outside
Of what is known as the fire district.
The losses on business property are es-
timated at Sl35000, with Insurance of
$4,000. The individual losses on dwell
ings run from 1900 70 $4,000.

PATIENT INJURED
TRYING TO ESCAPE
Inmate Of Asylum. Named Flanders,
Received Fractured RIBS
in a Fight.

Waterbury, May &C. A sensational
story started this morning concerning an
alleged case Of rough treatment that had
lust occurred at the Vermont State hospi-
tal III which one Flanders, who had been
taken To the hospital the night before, suf-
fered the fracture Of three ribs on the
right side. An investigation was prompt
II instituted by Superintendent Hutchin-
son and complaint made to Grand Juror
l.. G. Moody, who caused the arrest Of NJ
G. Gillens, the attendant In charge on the
ward where Flanders was placed.
II appeared at the investigation before
the justice that Flanders was determined
TO get out Of the institution. Mr. Gillens,
the attendant, being called by telephone
to the supervisors office, left Mr. Lyon
another attendant. In charge Of the pa
tient, while he answered the call and when
part way down the corridor he turned and
saw the patient coming and Mr.. Lyon fol-
lowing IN pursuit Of him. AS Mr. Lyon
came up to the patient the latter turned
and struck him blow and Lyon reeled
against the wall Mr.. Gillens locked the
exit door and ran to the assistance Of Mr.
Lyon when the patient turned and attemp-
ted to strike GilleEs.
They both then grappled with the pa
tient and they all went TO the floor in a
mixed bunch. This all happened in half
minute or a minute and when they got up
the patient promised to 20 back and keep
quiet The atfair was at once reported to
Or. Andrews and DR. Berry and a little
later the doctors discovered that the pa
tient had suffered fracture Of three ribs.
One attendant who saw the fall testified
that when they went down GilIen's knee
struck upon the patients body This
might have caused the fracture If 1t was
done at that time.
1t appeared by the testimony that the
injury was entirely accidental and that no
more force was used than seemed necessa-
ry to restrain the excited man who was
said to be quite muscular The court ex-
onerated Mr. Gillens and discharged him
from custody. i, G. Moody appeared for
the state, Il. T. Palmer for the respondent.

CASE HEARD IN COURT
Mayor CorrY's Mandamus Case on the
Increase Of Fares From 5 to
10 Cents.

Montpelier, May 2T Supreme court re-
sumed work yesterday morning. The first
case was from Rutland county, being An
thOny Hines, ct al VS.. the Farmers Ma
tional Bank Of Granville, and Enos Q.
Fish. This case was argued on exceptions
of the lower courts.
The next case was the habeas corpus
proceedings from Washington county, in
re. Andrew Rogers. This is the test case
which was brought to decide whether the
alternative sentence for second offence
Of intoxication should be Imprisonment in
the house Of correction or the county Jail.
Some three weeks ago Rogers was convict
ed In Montpelier Of a second offence, and
failing to pay his fine of SIS and costs he
was sentenced to the house of correction
for 100 days, which was three times the
number Of dollars that his fine and costs
amounted to- Habeas corpus proceedings
were brought to test the law. 1t is argued
iu behalf OF Rogers that the alternative
sentence should be so days in the county
jail, and the general provisions of the Yer
mont Statutes do not apply TO such an in
toxication case.

N0RTHFIELD'S GRAND LIST.
Increase 10 Real Estate, Decrease In Per-
sonal Property and Polls.

Increase 10 Real Estate, Decrease In Per-
sonaI Property and Polls.
Northfeld, May 26.-The work Of com
piling the grand list for 1908 has been
completed with the following results. Real
estate, 1888, 125.00; personal property,
S19l ,436,00; polls, $50 81 800, making to-
tai grand list, Sl2,605.71 AS compared
with 1902 this is an increase on real estate
OF SIG, ,50409;a decrease on personal
property Of S69, ,6s5; a decrease on polls Of
99 The decrease in personal property is
not altogether encouraging. Quite por-
tion OF the personal property Of one large
estate has gone out Of town but aside from
this no one believes there Is actually less
property of this class in town than lii 1902.
The action Of the legislature In increasing
deposits exempt from taxation In savings
banks from 81 500 to 81, 900 Is believed To-
have considerable to do with this surpris-
Ing decrease. The deereasein polls is due
TO the legislatures s more liberal exemption
of veterans Of the civil war, there being a
larger number Of inhabitants ia town this
year than Ia any recent year.
The grand list of the graded school dis
trict this year is 81 0T2.52 an increase Of
81, 22094 over the year 1902.

fording fine view Of almost the entire

ardent deYotees as result. No tourna-
ment was attempted, the players eonteut-
ing themselves with friendly rivalry
