short time the town house was on fire.
Some of the seats were removed but it
was impossible to get much of anything
from the Odd Fellows hall above.
1t then looked as if the T. S. Leach
house would go and with that others in
close proximity thereto. How to save
them was serious question. AS a last
resort dynamite was used, and the barn
in the rear of the Leach premises, filled
! with household goods belonging to Fred
Child, was blown up and then ready
hands pulled down the ruins and removed
them from contact with the fire, which
was done by heroic work, owing to the
extreme heat
The flames worked on toward Mr.
Hulburd's barn, and good-sized hole
was burned in the roof before they were
checked. The building was also badly
scorched.
1t was about six o'clock before the fire
was gotten under control and then dew
astation was on every side. 1t is esti-
ma ted that property to the value of at
least $125, 900 was destroyed.

HYDE PARK.
An Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
representative citizens of this place was
held last evening at Woodmans Hall.
The object of the meeting was to ex-
change views as to the future of Hyde
Park village. While of course there was
general regret at the great disaster which
had befallen the place, there was great
enthusiasm as to the future.
Remarks were made by Senator Page,
r. W. Hulburd, Col Mcfarland, S. B.
Waite, F. H. Strong and others, and all
agreed that the time for action was NOW
and that the burnt district should be re-
built and that along modern and up-to.
date lines
The water question was the most irn-
portant topic and it was agreed that
that should receive first consideration
and as a result village meeting has
been warned for Tuesday evening, May
8, to take action in that direction.
The question of employing an architect
and landscape gardener to advise and
suggest as to the best way of e-building
and laying out the village was considered
and in order to get at this Systematically
A VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY
was started. This organization starts
with 1000 shares at $500 each-the
money to be used for the employing of
skilled artizens in the direction above
referred to and also other ways and
means along that line In short time
$50 shares were taken and it is certain
that before the next meeting, next Tues
day evening, at same place, the entire
1000 shares will be taken.
Those who live outside of HYDE Park,
in other parts of the state, or elsewhere,
have an opportunity to invest in this
direction and thereby show their interest
in the town.
Altogether the meeting was splendid
indication of the interest the village has
in the movement At the next meeting
the organization will be completed

Grateful HYDE Park

Not the least, by any means, of the good
feeling which filled, permeated and over
flowed at the citizens meeting held last
evening to talk over the future of HYDE
Park was brought about by the multi
tude ofwords ofsympathy and encourage
ment from our sister towns, and most
acceptable indeed were the kindly words
from Morrisville. The gratitude of our
suffering village for the CHEEKY words re-
ceived was one of the all-absorbing senti-
ments of the gathering, and it gave our
people heart and courage as nothing else
could have done.
Expressions of deepest thankfulness
were heard on every side for the prompt
response made to our call for help by our
sister villages of Morrisville, Johnson
and Stowe.
Nothing but disheartening consterna-
ton was depicted upon the faces of the
people of our village Sunday evening as,
at the close of the fire, they contemplated
the ruin that had been wrought in a few
short hours; nothing but sand, pluck,
determination and courage was depicted
on the same countenances forty-eight
hours later at the close of the rally
which de n nonstrated the fact that we are
to rise, Phenix-like, from our ashes, a
handsomer and more attractive village
then ever; and Hyde Park sends greet
ings and grateful acknowledgements of
the kindly spirit of her neighbors, who
are in large measure responsible for the
change that has been wrought.
