HoIYoxE GETS THIS FIRE.
Large Business Blocks Destroyed at
 Loss of $2O0.OOO.

Holyoke, Mas, Dec 1.-Two large business blocks on High street, in the center of the Holyoke business district were destroyed by fire to-day, causing 2 loss of $200. 1000, all of which Is covered by insurance. The buildings were owned by McAuflin & Wakelin, and Mrs Sarah A. Vol colt. McAufin & Wakelin, dry goods dealers, occupied the ground floors of both buildings and the up- per floors were rented as offices and more than a score of tenants were burned out.
 The ire broke out in the basement of the McAufiin & Wakelin building on High street and quickly commu- nicated to the building owned by Mrs Wolcott. The entire city fire department and help from Spring field fought for four hours before they succeeded in gaining control.
 Mrs Frank c. Washburn. who owned hair dressing parlors in the Wolcott block, who went into the burning buildings to save some val uable papers, was overcome by smoke, but was rescued. As soon as she revived Mrs Washburn again rushed into the building despite the protests of her friends and again she was overcome. The flremen had great difficulty in carrying her to safety a second time.
 The firm of McAuflin & Wakelin was the heaviest loser, their dam age being $50.000 on stock and an equal amount on the building. Mrs Wolcott's building was valued at $25,000. Fay & Shumway, shoe dealers. lost $12,000 worth of stock. The local lodge of Odd Fellows, the Business Mems association, Knights of Columbus and Red Men, besides doctors, lawyers, architects and oth- CTS lost their quarters.

Dog PoisOner at Work.

The dog poisoner is again at work
in athena. Poison is being placed in
alleys and other places, and as usual
the best dogs are the victims. Yester-
day morning Ed Manassas fine Span
iel, "Keeneye." received dose Of
strychnine and died before an emetic
could be administered. Several days
ago valuable Spitz, owned by A. L.
Douglas was poisoned. A heavy fine
can be imposed on a person convicted
of placing out poison, but the chances
Of apprehending the guilty, are small
for the reason that poisoned food can be
carried in the pocket and easily
thrown on or near the premises where
the dog selected for death is known
to be.
