Minus His Barn and Stock
Two Alarms in Montpelier.

While Barre was getting only the
picturesque effects OF one Of the most
severe electrical storms OF the summer

receiving the actual blows OF the BOLTS
from the frowning heavens Many thou
sands OF dollars OF damage was done in
various places. The most severe loss OF
the storm was the destruction OF the
buildings on the farm OF Oramel Stew
art on the west hill in East Montpelier.
Mr.. and Mrs Stewart were in this city
at the time, visiting his sister, Mrs. Or.
lana Goldsbury.
Those who remained at the farm
house heard a deafening report at about
nine O'Clock and, thinking that the
lightning had struck, they went out and
investigated Not finding any signs of
lire, they returned TO the house. Five
minutes later their attention was at
tracted by the roaring OF flames, and
they discovered the barn 60 be afre. AL
that was saved from the barn was one
horse; four cows and one hog being
destroyed together with the farming
tool and so tons OF hay. The barn was
in good shape
From the barn the flames spread with
great rapidity to the house, which ad-
Joins. and this. too, was soon a mass of
flames. Practically all the furniture,
however, had been removed from the
building and was saved temporary
structure being put up to house it. The
house, as well as the barn, was well
built, and the loss OF both bring tho
Stewarts' damages 10 $4,000 or more.

Gated only 81 feet from the barn, and it
was only after very hard work that the
dwelling was saved All the seasons
hay stored in the barn was burned,
while much live stock consisting OF four
COWS. four hogs and one bull, was also
destroyed The loss is about $500, on
which there was an insurance OF $1,000,
