FIRE AT EAST FAlRLEE
Business Section of Village Complete
ly Wiped Out.

West Fairlee, Oct. 1.-The business
part OF this village was practically
wiped out early yesterday by a fire
which started in the Kingsbury livery
stable and destroyed seven buildings,
including two barns, before it burned
itself out. The loss is estimated from
$25, 900 to $4,000, and the buildings
will probably never be replaced.
There was a partial insurance carried
in the Vermont Mutual and Union
Mutual companies of Montpelier.
The burned property includes: The
Eagle hotel and livery, general store
of j. II. Eastman, general store of c.
II. Little, Blake's meat market and
residence, the old General Stephen H.
Thomas house, owned by DR. r. G.
Simpson, Howard property livery
stable, or Kinsbury's.
The fire started in the Kingsbury
stable at about midnight and the
cause is not known. The flames
spread with great rapidity on ac-
count of the dryness of the building
and because there is no apparatus
here to fight fire and in addition there
was little or no water. The neigh,
bors were powerless to check the fire
and It Tapped up the cluster of build
ings in turn and then died out for
lack of anything more to consume
The flames had died down early in
the morning, leaving nothing but
charred remains of what used to be q
thriving little village in the days
when the copper mines nearby were
running.
The hotel had had quite a prosper
GUS business in summer visitors dur
ing the past season. 1t was conduct
ed by James Cook. The hotel is un
derstood to be the property now o
the Hanover Bank, while the Il. T

burned out, had only recently com,
here from Barre. But one store il
left in the village, that being across
the road from the confagration Tha
however, has been closed for SOM
time.

Great Britain and Germany that Turkey had no

in reply, said that Bulgaria was willing TO seno
the reserves to their homes II Great Britain and
Germany would guarantee the preservation OF
peace.
This exchange of assurances had qulellhs

Alarm & dispatches from Turkey have been
displayed in the newspapers here. According to
these, 10000 troops have been massed IN Mace
donia The Foreign Office, however regards the
local transpositions Of troops in Macedonia as
no cause for anxiety. Only the transfer Of army
units from Asia Minor would be considered
direct menace to Bulgaria. Such a transfer has
not taken place so far as known, and the Bull
garian government continues to act on the sup
position that Turkey has no intention Of going to
war from which neither side has anything to
gain.
Bulgaria has sent special delegate TO Vienna
for the purpose OF arranging terms, If possible,
with the Oriental Railroad Company.

THE Timess" tribute to Roosevelt az the
greatest President SINGS Lincoln represents
without doubt, English opinion. The moral
questions of American politics may not be I'M

the Board of Trade Is expected TO keep the
railway corporations In order and where SUB
scribers to party election funds are rewarded
with peerages but Roosevelts picturesque. many
sided personality has fascinated Enghshmen
from the opening OF his Presidential career. The
English press resolutely keeps out of American
politics. but its sympathfes are entirely with
Taft because he represents Roosevelts Ideas and
because the success of Bryan would mean pro-
Ionged period OF depression in America aud even
worse times in England than now. when the re-
turns OF pauperism appalling, when the
horde of the unemployed is steadily increasing
and when the Chancellor Of the Exchequer Is
confronted with the prospect Of an alarming

years and the vague promise that old licenses
can be prolonged for short term with with

of his diplomacy without being a popular hero.
but he cannot guarantee the country against the
risks of England's endangered naval supremacy
