Disastrous and
| Fatal Fire.

About 10 o'clock Wednesday night
fire was discovered in the barroom at tine
Stetson House, probable cause either the
dropping of lighted match or cigar
near barrel of alcohol, aud in very
short time the building was in flames
The alarm was sounded as soon as pos
sible and all the occupants succeeded i'll
making their escape with the exception
of little Nellie May Pelletier, employed
as kitchen girl, this being her second
night at the hotel. She was grand
daughter of John Boutin, who resides at
Lake. She was lG years old aud very
pretty and capable girl, beloved 10y all
who knew her. Her charred remains
were partially recovered about 10 o'clock
this Thursday morning. Her mother
and family are nearly distracted over
her sad end. In addition Ito the hotel
property and outbuildings, two houses
standing directly west, were both con
sumed. One was occupied by r. j..
Carpenter and the family of II. W..
Humphrey, the other by }. W. Carpenter
and Robert Donovan. These succeeded
in saving the principal part of their
effects. The citizens have opened their
homes to the destitute and homeless, so
all will be properly cared for. Several
of the occupants of the hotel had some
very narrow escapes, some being obliged
to make their exit through the windows
on to the piazza, which is only short
distance to the ground. Nearly every
one lost all their personal effects. Mr.
and Mrs. F. l.. Greene of Island Pond
also lost all their household effects, these
being stored at the hotel.
1t is said that this is the first serious
fire.. which has ever visited Norton.
Sparks and burning bits of single were
blown as lar as the buildings owned ano
occupied by II. W. Marsh, and while
they were not considered in any imme
date danger, yet the barn and shed
caught fire three or four times, but be
ing closely watched by Mrs. Marsh i

property is all insured for small amounts
but not nearly enough to cover the loss

In this age, when the imagination OF
the average man and woman is kept
literally at fever pitch by tales of dis
ease microbes lurking in all sorts of
out of the way places-and in the way
places, too, for the matter of that-the
suggestion of washable" paper comes
like the voice of one who 'publisheth

semifacetious way in which the New
York Globe discusses the subject seems
to be making light of very serious
matter. However, the Globes remarks
are given for what they are worth;
