FIRE AT HYDE PARK.
Almost The Entire Village Wiped
Out Last Sunday.

Fire in Hyde Park last Sunday which
started presumably from a defective
stove pipe between the first and second
stories of the county Jail broke into a
blaze which nearly wiped out the entire
village, necessitating the calling of help
from three towns and causing a loss of
close on to 100000. The only two
prisoners in the Jail were released.
The fire started about II o'clock in the
forenoon but for some unaccountable
rea son just as the alarm was rung in the
town water authorities shut off the
supply so that it was nearly five minutes
before drop of water could be sent on
to the flames during which they mount.
ed higher and higher until they spread
to the Lamoile county court house which
was soon a mass of flames. A high
Wind blowing almost gale helped mat
tiers along SO that by the time the fire ap
paratus was in working condition the
blaze was beyond control. Help was
summoned from the neighboring towns
of Morrisville, johnson and Stowe, only
the former sending an apparatus how
ever.
When the volunteers reached the
scene the entire town was mass OF
flame and smoke and it was thought
that all would be total loss. The Con-
gregational church, town hall and
number of residences and tenements
were sacrificed TO the flames before any
let up was noticeable.
1t was estimated that the entire loss
would be approximately 500, 900.

Correct Report Of Hazina.

The recent press dispatches from
Bridgeport, Conn, regarding Miss Lor-
raine Clark, the fourteen year-old daugh-
ter of F. c. Clark of that city, were not
correct in every particular.
The girl is not an inmate of the Brat
is however. a guest at Linden Lodge
and will remain there for a few days.
She is suffering in no way from mental
troubles, though SHE naturally experience
ed a severe fright from the rough meth
DDS adopted at her initiation. The young
woman is large for her age, lacking but
one inch of being six feet. She is suf-
fering from an attack of nervous ex-
haustion brought about largely by the
treatment which she received The
coming W eek she will be visited by rela-
and it is not improbable that she will feel
sufficiently recovered to accompany
them.
The story of the young woman's initia-
ton is substantially as told in dispatches
to the newspapers from Bridgeport.
She was compelled to drink "a concoction
of which one of the ingredients was
kerosene. Macaroni garnished with soap
and boiled in kerosene also constituted
part of the menu. She was also tossed
in blanket and the latter part OF the
initiation that really brought about the
nervous affliction. Miss Clark is
daughter of F. C. Clark, member of the
Connecticut legislature. Through the
mistake of an employee of the Brattle-
boro retreat, newspaper man was in
formed that Miss Clark was an inmate
there. The employee knew that there
was a Miss Clark at the institution and
supposed that she was the person whom
the newspaper man inquired for.
