ABOUT oNE-HALF INSURED.
Montpelier Loss by Fire Yesterday Aft
ernoon in Rialto Building.

| Montpelier's big fire on State street
yesterday afternoon was finally squelGhed
late in the afternoon, after the three
story Rialto building had been burned
and collapsed and after the wooden
bridge across the river had been consid-
erabiv damaged. That fire did not sweep
the Bowman building ON the west and
the Union building on the east. was due
to the fact that the collapse OF the Rialto
building into the river pulled the flames
away from the adjoining property and
reduced the flaming structure to q small
heap, which was easily compassed by the
several streams Of water thrown on IL
The fire continued to burn for several
hours after that, but at no time was
there real danger Of further spread of
the fire.
Revised estimates OF the total damage
place the loss at $50 900. with an iii
surance OF about one-half that amount
The building was insured for 2,200.
There is some doubt whether the build
ing will be replaced, as the location over
the river is not desirable, inasmuch as
the new building. unless of steel con.
struetion. would have to be trussed as
the old one was.
Mrs. ] 4. Morse, mlliner, lost S2,0a0
and had insurance of $1,000; Mrs. w.
NJ Frasers loss was 81 800. with $1,000
insurance; F. A. Standish's cigar store
loss was about the same as Allen Bros.
but with only 5000 insurance; Jangraw's
barber shop loss was $1,000, and no in-
smauce; DR. + L. Steele had an Office
in the building and his property was
valued at $500. with $500 insurance;
DR.. w H. Goodale didn't carry any III
surance aud had loss Of $500; Myer
Tuttle's loss was 81 2G0 and Insurance
1000; Mrs Stella Morse and Frank
Wise, who had tenements in the upper
stories lost $500 and 81 600, respectively,
with no insurance in either case.
In the adjoining buildings, Bowman's
fruit store was damaged somewhat. and
Kellogg's grocery store cellar was food
ed In Buswells bookstore ON the OPP
posite side, the damage was about s2OW
Several times last evening the fire start

Bowman building again, but iremeu di.

further damage.
The wooden bridge. which has been
an evesore to Montpelier people for =
long time may be replaced nov with an
iron structure, The present bridge was
not burned so badly that il cannot be
used: but it will require considerable
repairing in ease it is decided to use It
again.
