LOSS $5O,OOO.
Heavy Damage by Fire at Salisbury
 Aid from Neighboring Village.

Heavy Damage by Fire at Salisbury Aid from Neighboring Village. Salisbury, April 4.-This village was threatened with destruction early to- day by a fire which burned six build ings, causing a loss estimated at $5O,OOO, and was extinguished only after assist ance had been secured from the neigh boring village of Lakeville and from MiIlerton, N. Y, six miles distant. It is believed that the fire was started in an effort to cover up a burglary in William Spurs barber shop. When MT. Spur reached his shop shortly after the fire was discovered he found the money drawer, in which he had left a small amount of cash, lying empty on the counter.
 There is only one hydrant in the town and even with the assistance of the fire companies from the Sther villages it | was @ difficult task to arrest the prog ress of the flames, but after stubborn fight of four hours the fire was got un- der control.
 The principal losers are George H. Clark, residence and general store. $15,- 900; W. W. Hortes, business block, S1o,- GOO; c. F. Wagner, plumbing shop. $5,-
 900, and the postoffice, S5,OOO. Other losses were by tenants of the buildings.
 The contents of the postoffice were sav-
 ed, as were also the town books, kept
 by Mr. Clark, who is town treasurer
 and collector.

THE PEOPLES CHORAL UNION
 CONCERT

Anyone who wishes to attend the peo- ples' choral union concert on Thursday, April 1e. at Music hall, must make im- mediate application for tickets. At this early hour the house is nearly sold out. If tickets cannot be obtained at music stores applications may be sent in to Mrs. Frank c. Porter. Mrs. H. Grant Thompson, and Miss M. H. Wurts. The startling circular sent out by the man. agement has aroused such demand for seats and such enthusiasm that if Music hall could hold 5000 people every seat could be sold. This society was started for "The people and is governed by the people" with few older heads to manage the helm.
 This first notice of the concert will contain only the names of the soloists, Mrs. William E. Haesche, soprano; Mrs. Ruth T. Burnhan, contralto; Louis A, Lautenbach, tenor: William H.

The car was run one day just besore the hearing on the trolley ! franchise in Hartford came up, but since that time nothing more is known when the car will run regularly.

Vampire SunerstitiOnS.

The prevailing belief in European
countries was that vampires We're the
ghosts Of suicides or others who had
died violent deaths and were forced by
the devil to leave their graves at night
and feed on the blood of men and wo-
men, and any who died at the hands Of
these dreadful creatures also became
vampires. In this way beautiful wom-
en- became vampires and enticed young
men and fed on their blood and flesh.
It was believed that they had power to
assume any shape Or form desired be-
tween sunset and sunrise and that they
committed most. of their awful deeds at
midnight. They We're powerless in the
daytime and We're generally in tor
pid state. Garlic and wild rosebushes
were guards against them, and cruel
fixes We're feared by them. To prevent
suicides from becoming vampires they
were buried with q stake driven
through their hearts, and the straw
they had slept on was burned. All the
dogs and cats in the village We're locked
up, FOR if a dog or cat jumped over a
corpse it was sure to become the home

In q case in which a Ratchet having
clotted blood and hair adherent to it
was produced as. evidence against a
prisoner suspected of murder in little
country town. 1t was found under his
bed. This, with other circumstantial
evidence, had turned public opinion
strongly against the prisoner, but when
the hair was examined by micro
scopist who CHANGED to be in the court
room it was found not to be human,
but that of some animal. This circum-
stance led to more complete sitting
Of the evidence, and the accused was
acquitted. It turned out that he had
killed dog with the Ratchet and had
carelessly thrown the weapon under
the bed. So his life literally hung on a

PIT SEEMS BOTTOMLESS
Soft Place on Northwestern Which
Cannot be Filled.

What SENS to be the original s'bottom-
less pit has been discovered on the Chi
cage s. Northwestern road between this
place and Mankato. During the wet
weather last spring a sink hole devel-
oped in The road bed about three miles
west Of Judson and it is defying the best
efforts Of the engineering department.
Since the gravel trains went to work in
the pits at CORTLAND, 40 carloads Of
sand have been dumped into the hole,
which is not mole than fifty feet in
length, but without improving It's condi-
ton.
After the storm Sunday night the
track sank seven feet at that point and
1T became absolutely impossible for
trains. In consequence all passengers
and freights were sent around by St.
Peter on the old line and Conductor
Richardson and his men carried passen-
gers between Mankato and Mankato
junction. Temporary tracks are being
built around the sink hole, and also two
others near Cambria, and traffice over
the new line will shortly be resumed.
Railroad men say that there are few
cases on record where a hole has given
so much trouble. Several years ago the
Northwestern had similar experience
near Waseca but the fill did not prove
so expensive. It is believed that an
underground stream has developed, car
rying off the earth as fast as it is
dumped upon the roadbed.
