a FriehtfuI Disaster.

A despatch received here Saturday
brought the shocking news that Mr. and
Mrs. Stephen d. Cushman, their daugh-
ter, Bernice, and Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert
ID. Tanner had perished in the fire which
broke out in the Citizens Bank block IN
st. JohDsbury at O'Clock that morning.
All five bodies were found huddled to-
gether right by the elevator hole on the
third floor, on which Mr.. and Mrs. Tan
ner occupied fat, while the Cushman
family lived on the floor above. The re-
mains we're so charred that Identification
would have been impossible had It not
been for the watch worn by Mr.. Tanner,
which contained his name and address
and his wife's picture.
The fire started in the basement Of the
block and swept up the elevator shaft,
which opened near the Cushmans' kitch-
en-. It is believed that both families
might have been saved had they not be-
come panic-stricken or stopped to gather
up feS valuables while the flames
gained headwsy and cut them of from
every place OF exit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cushman and Mr.. Tan
ner were residents OF Randolph for
many years. More recently the Cush-
mans had lived in Northfeld but for the
last year and a bali they had been In
St. Johnsbury, where he was employed
as a carpenter. Mr.. Tanner, Mrs. Cnnh-
mans brother, was q painter by trade,
and had made his home in st. Johns
bury a long time.
Stephen Douglass Cushman, aged 81
years and 10 days, was born ia Tun-
bridge, and his wife, Mrs. Alice, (Tan-
ner) Cushman, aged as years, 10
months and 10 days, was born in
Montpelier. They are survived by two
daughters, Maude, wife of Henry W.
Carr of Barre, and Glenner. wife of
George Bruce OF Randolph. Mr.. Cush-
man also left two brothers, A. L. Cush-
man Of Concord, N. H., and w. G.
Cushman of this place. Mrs. Cushman
left three sisters, Mrs. H. d. Banister,
and Mrs. Edward Rancor of Randolph
and Mrs. j. F. Travers OF Merrimac,
Mass. Little Bernice Cushman, whom
the flames would not spare, was a very
sweet and lovable child OF nine years.
Mr.. Tanner, who was born in Montpet-
ier, son OF the late A. B. and Emma tHud-
son) Tanner. had reached the age OF 43 |
years and 10 months, and his wife, Mrs.
Lucy Tanner, was about 35 years old.
j. F. Travers and George Bruce started |
for St. Johnsbury Saturday night and |
brought back in two caskets Monday aft |
ernoon all that remained OF the FIVE un-
fortunate victims OF the fire. They we're
met by relatives of the deceased and the |
funeral procession went at once to South /
view cemetery, where prayer was offered
at the graves by Rev. Fraser Metzger.
Among those present at the burial we're !

must depend largely upon the market
reports for such information, and the
value of these reports to the man who
proposes to buy or sell sheep is deter
mined by the extent to which he can
apply them to his particular purchase
or sale.
Native sheep are those produced
ordinarily in small flocks-on the
farms of the central, southern and
eastern states. Western sheep are
those produced--usually in large
bands-on the ranges of the western
states. AS a rule western sheep have
enough merino blood to make them
markedly different in appearance from
natives which are mostly from NUT
ton-bred parents. But even were they
identical in breeding. buyers and sales
men on the market could easily distin-

guish between them because of differ
ences resulting from the way In which
they are fed and managed. On mar
kets where both native and western
sheep are received the daily reports
nearly always distinguish between
them. While thin natives are often
bought up in the country and success
fully fed, those that reach the mar
ket In low condition do not sell as
feeders because they are usually in
tested with internal parasites, thus
making II difficult and in many in
stances impossible to fatten them.
1. The market classes of sheep are
mutton, feeder and breeding sheep.
The name of class indicates the use
TO which sheep in that class are put.
2. Each class is divided into sub
classes and these again into grades. In
general the names of the sub-classes
suggest differences of either age or
sex between sheep put to the same
use The grades refer to differences
between the best and the less desir-
able animals In the various sub
classes. In the mutton class these diff,
ferences are based on quality. form
