victories with nine to the credit of each

WAS WORST FIRE IN
BENNINGTON IN
-FOUR YEARS
Summer Residence of Philip B.
Jennings Destroyed
WITH LOSS OVER $4,000
Was one of Historic Places Of Old
Bennington and Recently
Rebuilt.

The beautiful summer residence of
Philip b. Jennings on Mount Anthony
street Bennington Center was totally
destroyed by fire this morning. Most
of the house furnishings were saved.
The fire originated at about $3.50
a. m. in the rear basement of the
house, which is used as a laundry
and is supposed to have started from
an electric fiat iron which had been
left connected. The fire was discov-
cred by servants in the house. Neigh
bors who rushed to the scene of the
fire strove with the crudest of instru-
ments and garden hose to reach the
fire which was raging between parti-
tions in the rear of the house. AS
the fire rapidly spread, hope Of saving
the house was abandoned and an eff
fort made to save the more valuable
furnishings and all furniture of value
was removed from the first and sec
ond floors.
Several Bennington fire companies
responded TO telephone calls, but
there being lack of hydrants moth.
ing could be done to save the house
and the flremen bent their efforts
toward saving the household effects
Mr.. and Mrs. Jennings are In Cleye-
land, o., where they went for a par,
of the summer but have been notified
Of the loss and will arrive in town
this evening. No one save the EN-
ployes were in the house at the time
of the origin Of the fire, the children
being at Camp LOafmore. The per
sonal effects of several guests who
were also at Camp LOafmore were
totally destroyed.
The house was by many considered
rs the most beautiful summer resi-
dence In Bennington Center. The
original house was very old There
is some doubt as to the exact date oil
the building of the house, but II Is
thought 10 have been built by Rev
David Avery. the second pastor OF the
Old First church In 1881. The resi-
dence later came into the possession
of the late Judge Pierpont Isham ant
was transferred to Thomas Sexton In
1863. in the possession Of whose
family 1t remained until recent years
when II was purchased in 1898 by
Philip b. Jennings. II was only re
Gently rebuilt and remodeled. The
house was at one time occupied by
the parents of Mail-carrier Thomas
Halloran while still In the possession
OF Judge lsham.
The lossls guessed at $4,000 part
Of which is covered by insurance.
