BELGIAN FAIR Is BURNED

Thieves Are Busy.-WiId Beasts

Probable Loss.

Brussels. Belg The white clty
of the worlds fair as the Belgians
called their 1910 exposition. is mass
Of flames and smouldering ruins. Al
spark falling into intamrnable mate
rial in the telegraph building, burst
into flames which. driven by high
wind, swept rapidly in all directions
Soon the Belgian. English and French
sections were destroyed. The tiremen
and detachments of soldiers. called
to the scene, found themselves baffled
by the gale, which carried the burn
ing embers to all parts Of the grounds.
The loss in the exposition fire is
estimated 1T s10O,O00,000
To the LETT of the main building
arose the picturesque roofs and spires
of "Bruexelles' Kermesse," a Belgian
Coney island. This place vas alive
with Sunday crowds, and bef1re they
could be gotten out the Kermessr was
afire. The crowds became peric
stricken, and men. women and ch!l-
dren fought to escape. The exits be-
came choked with the struggling
masses and many were trampled un-
der foot and badly injured.
An engine corps from Antwerp at
tempted to dynamite the bridge Of
the French section, in the hope of
checking the fire, but the flames leaped
across and engulfed the Italian. Rus
sian. Austrian. Japanese, Chinese and
Norwegian buildings. Forty houses
on the avenue Solbosch. adjoining the
exposition, were destroyed.
At the time of the outbreak Of the
fire not less than 1O0,0 900 persons were
circulating in the grounds and the
Kermesse. Troops were ordered out
and came at double-quick to aid the
police in clearing the grounds This
was accomplished in fair order, ex-
cept within the limits Of the Ker-
meSse where the crowds became en-
tangled In An almost inextrtcable
mass, fighting desperately to find an
escape from the flames which swept
viciouely through the tinder-hke struc-
lures.
Soon the enormous facade tumbled
in ruins. Considering the rapidity of
the confagration, the small death loss
is marvellous. So far as Is known
only two are dead. The injured, as
officially announced, number 30 but
probably many hundreds received
minor hurts.
AS the flames reached the menag-
erie, it was decided to shoot the
beasts, but the heat drove back the
soldiers and the animals were left to
their fate.
Bands of thieves engaged in pilage,
and a soldier was stabbed while at
tempting to arrest three men whom
he found raiding a jowelry exhibit.
Many jewel exhibitors were unin-
sured. In the French art section, the
priceless Gobelins, paintings and
sculpture, were ruined. as were the
rich treasures In the English Belgium
and Turkish sections. All the archives
burned and 1t will therefore be inn
possible to confer medals and diplo-
mas.
The fire was due to a short circuit.
In addition to the panic that prevailed
in the kermesse there were several
minor panics at other points within
the grounds, and women and children
were crushed down in the rush. Some
of the wild animals escaped from
their cages and added to the excite
ment. 1t is believed several of them
are still at large

Low Mortality in 1909.

The vital statistics OF Brattleboro for
1909 show that 1876 deaths were recorded
in the office of the town clerk. These fig
ures do not, however, indicate q correct
mortality rate of the citizens Of the town,
for II of the deaths recorded were of in
mates of the Brattleboro Retreat and while
they must be recorded in Brattleboro &C.
cording to law, practically all Of the per-
sons dying in that institution were non
residents of Brattleboro. In addition to
the number reported as dying at the Re
treat there were three Or four deaths at
the Memorial hospital Of which two were
not residents of Brattleboro. The number
of births recorded for the year was l4S,
which more than balances the number of
deaths of local people. There were only
five deaths recorded for the month Of
December, which is the smallest number
recorded in that month for a number of
years. One of these deaths was that of
resident of Guilford. The figures in the
town clerks office bear out the statements
made by the undertakers some months ago
that the mortality rate for 1909 would be
under that of former years.
