Good Progress in Railroad Work.

The railroad work is progressing well.
In order to move a steam shovel and
other heavy machinery to a bank near
the Adams place it has been necessary
to lay a track some distance in the
highway beyond the foot of Sand hill.
This makes the road very narrow for
other travel, but it is expected that it
will be necessary for only a short time.
"A third steam shovel began work this
week upon Fort hill and two more will
soon begin work near the home of Mrs.
c. C. Dix and the Adams homestead.
With these five at work fills will be
made very fast.

Mrs. Ellen Houghton's Home Burned

The alarm for fire was sounded Sat
urday night about 10 o'clock, the house
of Mrs. Ellen Houghton being in flames.
The family, which consisted of Mrs.
Houghton and her son, Curtis Hough-
ton, had retired early, but Mrs. Hough-
ton had not been sound asleep, only
browsing, when she was fully awakened
to the fact that the house was on fire.
Her room was a bedroom off the kitch-
en- and she managed to arouse her son,
who slept in a chamber overhead, and
both escaped. Mr.. Houghton managed
to snatch his best clothes as he fled
from his room and Mrs. Houghton
little clothing. They soon saw their
home and all it contained go up in
flames. 1t is supposed the fire was
caused by a defective chimney. Plenty
of help went from the village, but moth
ing could be done as the fire had made
such Roadway before being discovered.
Mrs. Houghton is staying for the pres
ent at Miss Kate Heffrons and her son
is boarding with Miss Keyes, for whom
he works A subscription paper has
been circulated for the benefit of Mrs.
Houghton, who is an aged woman, and
people have generously responded to the
call for aid.
