presumably from defective stove pipe
between the first and second floor of
the county Jail. 1t gained Roadway so
rapidly that efforts to save the build
ing were soon seen to be useless and
attention was directed to endangered
neighboring structures The two pris-
oners, both minor offenders. whom the
Jail held. were released and turned to
will to help fight the flames. which
did damage estimated at 100000.
The local fire department quickly
realized its inadequacy in view of the
gale which prevailed and help was
sImmoned from Morristown, Johnson
and Stowe. all of which towns sent
their entire fire fighting forces to the
aid of Hyde Park, which is the county
seat of Lamoille county. Their COM
bined efforts, however, could not pre-
vent the spread of the flames for sew
eral hours.
When finally the fire was under con-
troll IN area almost a half mile long
had been swept by the flames which
left it a heap of smouldering ruins.
Sparks borne in clusters on the gale
proved the undoing of the firemen.
The records of the county and of the
probate court are in vault in the
court house and their condition Is I'M
known 1t is believed, however, that
they will be found unframed. The town

FourteenConverts Baptized
By Holy Rollers.
An AI|-night Session Sees
Peculiar Actions Repeated
But the Members Are Silent About
Coming End Of World.

Duxbury. Mass. April 1.-THE ice
lance from the little chapel in Asdod,
where the members of the Christian
Society, known also as Holy Rollers,
have been holding their peculiar SER
vices during the past week, served to-
day as the baptismal place for Ia con-
verts to the sect While hymns were
sung bv a little band of worshippers
gathered on the shore. Elder Robert
Swan of Providence, r. l., immersed
each of the converts, men and women,
three times in the cold water in ac-
cordance with custom which gives the
scots its name. Triune Immersionists.
The baptism ceremonies followed an
aII-nicht meeting of the faithful in the
chapel. This service was characterize
ed bv the shouting, singing, dancing,
arm waving and speaking in tongues
which made the meeting of the sect of
last wear remarkable, but there was
no general renewal of the definite pre-
diction of last year as to the immedi-
ate end of the world. 1t was announced
that another all-night session would
be held tonight.
About $50 members of the sect are in
attendance at the services, but crowd
of visitors who came in automobiles
and carriages largely increased the
population of the little Ashdod settle
ment today.

New York. April 17.--Latent speCu-

market by the indefinite postponement
of the anti trust cases, which is the
practical effect Of the re-assignment
of these cases for argument by the su-
preme court The unexpected an
nouncement of that action last Mon

period of suspense as that likely to

presented a CONVICTION that the weekly
