TOTAL LOSS OF $4,000,
PARTIALLY INSURED
Flames Destroyed Domicile
of Many Railroad
Laborers

st. Adams, Aug. 2o.--Three freight
cars standing in the Central Vermont
railroad yard south of the station were
burned and several Others were damaged
in a fire which broke out shortly before
IL o'clock to-day. The loss is estimated
at $1,000, on which there is some insur-
ance.
II is not known how the fire started,
but it is said that the flames broke out
in car which was occupied by some
Italians and Poles who were employed
on railroad work. The car contained a
stove, and it is presumed that the fire
started from the stove. One of the oc-
cupants of the car home is said to have
lost 300 in money which he had Sc
ereted in the car.
In order to get a the fire the iremen
had to lay several lines of hose across
the railroad tracks, and as consequence
the New England States Limited train
was held up for about 20 minutes.
