CHILDREN TAKEN OUT SAFELY.
When House in st. 'Johnsbury Partially
Burned in Evening.

st. Johnsbury, Jan. l3.-The ell part
of Perley RusselPs house on the out
skirts of Paddock Village was destroyed
by FIRE Thursday night, but the firemen
succeeded in saving the main house.
However. the damage by water was
large, much of the furniture being ut
terly ruined. The loss on the house
was about 81 200, on which there was
an insurance of $1,000. The furniture
was insured for $1,000.
The fire broke out at o'clock, caused
by the woodwork behind the kitchen
stove becoming overheated. Mr.. Rus
sell was at Danville, and Mrs. Russell
was at home with five little children, all
of whom got out safely.
The fire company had difficulty in
making connections on account of the
distance from hydrant, so the fire was
well under way when the firemen were
in shape to stop it. The hose was laid
for about three hundred yards and as
it extended across the railroad track il
necessitated holding the evening train
north for nearly an hour.

In German Elections for Reichstag, That

heavy Socialist vote, which probably
reached 100000, and heavy Socialist

was marked also by a disastrous rout
of the Radicals and far smaller inroadt
into the Clerical and Conservative ma.
IHerity of the last Reichstag than was
anticipated.
The results at two o'clock this morn
ing, which are still far from complete
show that the Socialists have captured
2l seats from the non Socialist parties
and lost only two a net gain of 80
They also have entered into some go re-
ballots, which would make it seem that
they are almost certain to regain the 81
seats they held at the dissolution of the
Reichstag in 1906, and probably a few
more.
The Radicals were utterly routed, hay-
ing lost up to two o'clock eight seats
outright. The national Liberals are ex-
pected to return TO the chamber practi.
cally as strong they were at the disso.
luton.
The Centrists, with their allied Poles,
have held their own well, but the re-.
ballots will tell another tale, as the
Liberals, Radicals and Socialists then
will unite against them.
The Conservatives thus far have lost
seven seats to the Socialists, but have
regained one from the Liberals At two
O'Clock the returns received showed 1875
candidates elected, 90 districts where re-
ballots are necessary and l72 districts
