INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED

Alburgh. Dec. 23.-1Ielpless to chec,,
the course Of the flames, the residents
OF this place saw the roundhouse of
the Rutland railroad here DESTROYED
by fire early this morning with the
property damage around the 800 900
mark. The fire was discovered at
about three o'clock by the boss of the
roundhouse who was making hi,
rounds. He at once hastened to a
small room where some trsinmen
were sleeping and gave the alarm but
they were powerless and their efforts
70 get the fire under control were
vain. Beside the building itself,
which was wooden structure and
which burned as finder when the fire
was once under way, five engines OF
the Rutland road were destroyed.
Two Of the locomotives were OF the
best class used by the road while the
others were Of smaller type.
1t is not known how the blaze start
cd and no theory Of ar accidental or
igin has been advanced. 1t is sur
rounded by so much mystery that
many are Of the opinion that it was
Of an incendiary nature IA no other
theory seems to ut what Is known Of
the circumstances.
Al'urgh is without fire depart
ment ana the only means at hand to
fight the blaze was by the use OF a
small hose about 10 feet In length.
and after burning for about four
hours the building and its contents
were in ruins. This morning the
work Of cleaning UP was begun and
1t IL supposed here that better
building will be erected in the place
of the old one. The building was
partially covered by insurance. 1t is
un derstood.
