The house of Alvin A. Hubbard, located on Main street, was totally destroyed by fire about 2 o'clock Mon day morning MT. Hubbard was alone in the house, his wife bairg away on 8 visit, and awakening aboUt 3 o'clock he smelled smt ke and went to investigate. He opened a door on the second floor and was met by a bust of flames. He immediately gave the alarm, and with the help of neigh bors was able to save a smell quantity of the furniture. By hard work the barn, which is located but a short distance from the house, YVES saved, but the fire had such good sta1t that there was no oppo1 tunity to save the house. The fire is believed to have started from an overloaded chimney. The house was large two-story structure, built about 40 year ago, and the loss, including the contents, will probably be from $4OOO to $50OO, only par tially covered by insurance.
