VERMONT FIRES.

The building OF the Newport steam
laundry, George l.. Young proprietor.
was burned at noon Oct. together
with the machinery and portion OF
the laundry goods. Il is supposed the
IRE caught near the smoke stack. A
small Insurance was carried.
Fire which had its origin in the
shed adjoining the Congregational
church IN Worcester destroyed tina.
building, the horse sheds near, and
the house next to the church owned
By Frank Taylor Oct. 6. How the
fire started is mystery. 1t was IN
the shed OF the church and no services
had been held Sunday, the last func-
ton having been a social on Friday
night. Several theories are aired.
IL Is thought by some 10 have been
caused by spontaneous combustion
and By others TO be the result of a
match being ignited by a mouse. The
town hall was located on the ground
floor of the church The church was
built long time ago but was in good
condition. The loss will be nearly
total. The house was insured for
5000.
Fire started at noon Oct. s in the
village hotel at Jericho, an old land
mark owned by William Folsom, and
ia short time the building was in
ashes. The stables and outbuilding of
the hotel caught and were totally de-
stfoyed. The fire spread to the adj
joining store occupied by +. L. VIII
liams and this was destroyed. Only
part OF the furnishings in the hotel
we're saved. The only available pro-
lection was the water in Browns river
put TO use by means OF a bucket bril-
gade. Burlington was communicated
with tor help and sent a fire engine
and firemen down They arrived in
time 20 wet down and save the sur
rounding buildings. The loss Is esti-
mated at 5000. The dwelling of +.
b. Williams was destroyed. the market
of O. c. Grace, the postofiice and the
drugstore.
A large barn on the farm owned and
occupied BY Charles Parsons in the
south part OF Morrisville was DESTROYED
by fire Oct. with all OF the contents,
consisting OF hay, grain, one horse,
four cows. and one hog There was
an insurance of $500 on the house and
barn. but II is estimated that the total
loss is 81, 200. Mr.. and Mrs. Persons
had been working out during the day,
Mr.. Parsons for one neighbor and Mrs.
Parsons for another, and they had
only been home a short time. They
were eating supper when they dis
covered that the shed, which opens
out OF the kitchen. was on fire. After
a sharp fight. taking water from the
house in pals, they succeeded in put
ting out the fire, only to discover that
the barn was all in flames and the root
ready to fall in. Ii is believed that the
fire was of incendiary origin, as pan
of oil and cobs was found in the shed
and the fact that the two buildings,
which were separate. were burned at
the same time, would furnish sufficient
evidence.
