Fire destroyed two business blocks
with their two stores, and damaged
other property in the center Of Hard
wicks business district Monday morn
ing The loss Is set at $4,000,
while the insurance on the whole will
not exceed $4,000. The principal losers
are l. c. Titus, who owned both blocks
and one of the stores, and the Hard
wick Hardware company. The former
did not carry insurance, as he did not
believe in it, while the latter had $4,000
insurance on stock of goods estimated
at $4,000. Mr.. Titus carried a stock of
general merchandise amounting to
about $4,000, and his loss is total.
The fire was discovered In the sec
ond story of the Hardwick Hardware
company block and the flames had
gained considerable Roadway. The
building was of wood and the flames
spread with great rapidity. In short
time the flames communicated with the
building in which Titus's> store was
located. Gallagher's and Bickford's
blocks came next, but We're saved from
much damage by the quick work of
the firemen. The cause Of the fire is
unknown. The whole village was
as slight wind would have
spread the blaze.

bear on the New York state authori-
ties to close the two pulp mills whose
refuse is said to be poisoning the wat

the Lake Champlain residents and the
