Destructive Fire in Brandon.

A loss of $4,000 was caused by a fire in
Brandon Wednesday night, Nov. Il, five
buildings being destroyed. The burned
buildings were the grIst mill and two 9TH
er buildings of ii. NJ. Gipson, lumber
dealer, and the grain store of Walker x
Amidon. Mr.. Gipson lost a considerable
amount Of lumber. There was partial in
surance on all the buildings.
The fire was discovered about twelve
O'Clock in the grst mill building. The
flames were first discovered issuing from
rooms occupied by w. A. Fuller for rem
dering lard, but within a very few mo-
ments had communicated with the Gipson
pine lumber store rooms in the same
building. The building was brick and
wood and it was Quilted. A large building
below the mill, owned by II. d. Briggs,
was also consumed.
BY quick and persistent work on the
part of the fire company, the flames were
checked here, Notwithstanding the close
proximity of frame buildings. A large
frame building adjoining the mill was not
burned. ii. M. Gipson lost some $4,000
feet of dry pine lumber; insurance was
about $1,000. The loss of Amidon *
Walker, millers, is unknown, but 1t was
fully insured. The building and milling
machinery was the property of the Mes
hope Electric Co., and was insured for
$4,000; loss about $4,000.

Beethoven was first submitted, and, as Grave
says, it seems almost like challenge to Mozart
on his own ground. Marx calls attention to the
dark color given the music by the quality of
the wind instruments and the skill with which
the master utilized their characteristics in his
music. Rice tells a story of BeethoVen's per-
formance of this quintet at the palace Of Prince
Lobkowitz. At one OF the pauses In the last
allegro. when there is a cadenza In the plano
part he began to improvise on the theme going
on for considerable time by himself, while the
wind players waited in CONSERVATION and rage
with their Instruments at their lips till Beeth-
oven was ready to go on. 1t pleased the listen
