Hetty Green's Buildings on Fire.

About Il O'Clock last Friday night as
j. c. Day, G. +. Howard and George B.
Allbee were going home from their places
of business they discovered a small fire
under the edge of the barn connected
with Mrs. Hetty Green's summer resi-
dence on Church street. At first they
thought 1t possible to extinguish II and
two of the trio went to shovellng dirt
while the third went to the alarm box at
the corner of >Hotel Windham and pulled
IT in. The fire was under such Roadway
that II was impossible to keep It from
spreading to the inside. and before the
department reached the spot the building
was very thoroughly aire in all parts
but the fire was soon extinguished the
whole inside being charred and the looks
of the outside much DEPRECATED The
barn, as well the dwelling. was unoc-
cupied at this season of the year The
most tenable theory regarding the origin
is that some hobo or booty individual
was occupying the lean-to shed in which
were many leaves. bean stalks. and debris
and accidentally set fire from smoking
No one thinks there is any feeling tow
ard Mrs. Green that would cause the COM
bustion. 1t was most probably purely ac-
cidental.
