UNION STATION
DESTROYED
Loss by Fire at White River
Junction About $4,000.

The union railroad station at
White River Junction was burned
to the ground Tuesday morning,
causing loss of about $4,000
mostly covered by insurance.
The fire, which was discovered at
ago O'Clock, was one OF the most
spectacular that ever occurred along
the valley of the upper Connecticut
river.
While the fire was burning the
freight house, the beef sheds of
Swift & Co. and the hide and tallow
establishment OF II A. Perkins
caught fire, but in each case the
blaze was soon extinguished.
The blaze started, it is believed,
il the partition in the rear of the
Western Union room and was due,
according to the theory now held,
to defective wiring. The fire spread
rapidly, and the building was so
soon filled with smoke that the fire
fighters had trouble in getting at the
blaze.
by 8 O'Clock, when th- flames
were under control, the interior ot
the structure was thoroughly Quilted
and the north wall had fallen IN.
The station was two stories and u
halt high and was of brick. Recently,
in compliance with the orders of the
Vermont public service commissi IN,
the building had been remodeletl- A

to $4,000. The mail and baggage
