CHILDREN PERISH IN FIRE
Agonizing Scene at Derby-Cries of
Babes Heard in Flaming House
Which Was Locked.

A fire which resulted in the loss of
two lives occurred in the town of
Derby near the mills of the Clyde
River Pulp company about four miles
from Newport Wednesday of last
week. The house was the property of
DR.. George Adams of West Derby and
was occupied by Geo. E. Grow. Mrs.
Grow had gone to the mill to carry
Mr.. Crows dinner and left the two
children, aged four and two years,
alone in the house. locking the doors
for safety while at the mill. Fire was
discovered and before any help arrived
the house was a mass of flames and it
was impossible to rescue the two chill
dren. The scene was agonizing as the
cries of the children could be heard
and friends were powerless to help.
A search was made as soon as the fire
had died down but no trace of the
bodies could be found.

Town Officers Take Notice.

The last legislature made some
changes in the laws relative to the
auditing OF town accounts and the time
when reports shall be in the hands of
the voters that will necessitate more
prompt action on the part of the town
officials than heretofore. Reports must
be in the hands of the voters at least
Is days before town meeting and
unless the printers are given plenty of
time some towns will be in a bad fix.
Here are quotations from the law:
Clown auditors shall, at least thirty
days before each annual meeting,
examine and adjust the accounts of
town officers, including the account
which the treasurer is required to keep
with the collector, and shall report
such accounts, with the items thereof
and the state of the town treasury, to
the voters at least fifteen days before
such annual town meeting. The
annual auditing of school accounts
shall be at the end of the school year
only.
''The selectmen. town treasurer,
town clerk, overseer of the poor, road
commissioner, school directors, collec-
tor of taxes and all persons authorized
to receive or disburse money belonging
to town shall, not less than thirty
days and not more than forty days
before each annual town meeting,
settle their accounts with the auditors
OF the town."

ANNUAL FAIR MEETING.

The annual stockholders meeting of
the Orleans County Fair was held in
Seaver's hall yesterday. This is the
first annual meeting under the new
regime and about 60 stockholders were
present.
The auditors, F. A. Hunt and w. w.
Reirden, made comprehensive report
of the financial standing of the
association which shows that $473. SO
was cleared from the annual fair.
The report showed that number of
signers for stock had not paid in. but
nearly $1,000 worth of the $4,000
capital authorized has been paid in
and no trouble is anticipated in selling
the entire amount. H. T. Seaver
presided as president of the association
and when the election of officers was
called for, G. E. Hamblet was elected
secretary F. D. Pierce treasurer. w.
W. Reirden and F. A. Hunt, auditors
and the old board of directors was
also named, as follows: H. T. Seaver.
c.. H. Root, A. N. Vance. A. P. Bean.
F. M. Sears, u w. Brown, VIM.
Nelson, H. L. Todd. Armour Anderson,
T. w. Silver. A. H. Bartlett, A. C.
Aiken, VIM. Smith, Frank Parlin, H.
w. Burnham, all reflections.
The question of dates for next fall S
exhibition was left to the directors but
the sense of the meeting appeared to
be for September dates if they could
be secured without serious conflict
with other fairs. Admissions were
left at 35 cents for adults and all the
other prices the same as last year
except the admission price for automo-
biles which was made 35 cents instead
of 70 cents as last year. 1t was
voted to authorize the directors to
expend $3.50 on the encouragement of
agriculture among the younger people
of the county IN some special manner.
Many matters of interest to the
association were discussed. The Off
GERS were voted the usual compensa.
tions and there was a general air of
harmony and optimism about the
future of the association. The direc.
tors organized by electing H. T.
Seaver of Barton, president and C. H.
Root of Craftsbury, vice-president.
