bennington. June "a telephone mes
sage from Whiting says that the village
of Jacksonville in that town WAS visited
by serious FIRE this afternoon. Tho
blaze was first discovered in the boiler
room of the North River Manufacturing
Co. and in the absence of suitable fire
protection was soon beyond control. The
progress of the fire was not stopped until
st had burned every building ON that side
of the street as far as Martin Reed :
barn.
The buildings burned were: Door, sash
md blind factory of the North River Man
Niacturng Co, hall of the knights of
Honor, house and barn of Postmaster AL
hert Stetson, the buildings of Daniel b.
Collins, the North River Cider and jelly
CO.'S mill and the barn of Il. +. Reed.
'he loss is estimated at from $1,000 to
$4,000 and all of the property destroyed
was partially insured.
The fire departments from Readsboro
md Wilmington were called for and sent
on a special train. 1t was their work
that stopped the fire from going clear
through the street, as several other build
ings caught fire but were stopped.
The son Of Postmaster Stetson and Je-
rome Coleman were quite seriously in
lured while lighting the fire. one was
severely burned and the other WAS struck

No cause for the fire has been made

Heretofore the Chinese have been

Fighting IL.

Montpelier June IA Free l'rcss rep
rcscntatiVe this afternoon Visited the
scene OF the forest fire on Worcester
mountain that bids fair at six o'clock to-
night to reach Mt. Hunger and possibly
To sweep down the valley of the north
branch of the Wnooski river to Mont
pclier. The lire AT six O'Clock this even
ing had burned over l.40o acres of heavy
timber land valued at $50 an acre, and
was rapidly spreading. The force of men
and boys employed since yesterday af-
tcrnoon to check the progress of the
flames have been OF little avail The
heaviest losers thus far have been G. &.
Putnam 4 Son, who have lost 300 acres
Stowe Lumber company 30 acres. Baird
d Ross 400 acres, and George Morse 500
acres. The Russell lumber mills on Hamu-
shire hill have been burned to-day, with
small loss as the machinery was taken
out two years ago and only the building
romans.
The lire department at Morrisvllc was
called out this ait' moon and did good
services in protecting the Eagle Lodge
road and the highway leading to Nor
risVile Tho smoke at that locality is So
dense objects 80 feet away cannot be
discernod.
At six O'Clock Tonight the fire had
reached within three miles Of Worcester
Corner. Abbotts store at the corner was
and the residents in that locality are
ready to move at short notice. At nine
o'clock to-nght the wind had subsidized
and the danger at Worcester Corner was
less'ned, All people at the corner have
their goods packed ready to move at short
notice
y set of old buildings on the Hancock
farm were burned. AS these buildings
have not been occupied for some time and
are quite old, the loss will not be very
great.
A change in the wind and
determined lighting by the property
owners in Lanesboro has relieved
the property at that place from
destruction by forest fires but the fire
is travelling at a rapid rate towards
Pelcham pond This is about three miles
away and the intervening territory is
covered by heavy growth of wood Some
of II is second growth filled with the
dry tops of trees which make the fire
very fierce and the rest of tho way il
is first growth timber.
