PURSUED BY FIRE FIEND.
Charles Bianchi Met With Another Loss
Last Night.

Charles Bianehi of East Barre is be-
ginning TO think that he is pursued by
the fire fiend, if not by fire bug. Two
days ago his granite plant at East Barre
was damaged to the extent Of several
thousand dollars. Last night flames
destroyed the barn in the rear Of his
residence, and only by good work was
the house saved from destruction. The
alarm was given at half past nine
O'Clock, the fire being discovered stimuli
taneousiy by several people. The barn
was rapidly going up in smoke when the
fremen arrived, and they poured water
on the house, which is one Of three in
row occupied BY the Bianchis, and
very elise to tie burning barn. Had
there been a wind blowing a serious fire
could hardly have been averted, but the
firemen succeeded in checking the flames
at the barn.
The cause Of the trouble is laid to
the exploding Of lamp which was us-
ed in an incubator.
