Property o lr. and Mrs.
Charles 7 56er on Semi
nary J 5 Montpelier
QCCUT 5 ITS HAD
s RROW ESCAPES
Loss Is Estimated Around
$14,000-Cause of Fire
Is Uncertain

The fine residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Parker at the corner of College
street and Kemp avenue, Montpelier, was
practically destroyed by fire this morn
! ing, entailing loss of about Sl4 900, and
the occupants OF the house were forced
to hurry, scantily clad, to the residence
of William +. Poole on Kemp avenue,
the flames having made much headway
before being discovered by the maid,
Mrs. Mayo, about 430 o'clock The 9th
er occupants of the house were Mr. and
Mrs. Parker and the latters mother,
Mrs. Martha Perrin. Only small
amount of clothing and some silverware
was saved.
The insurance, carried in the agency of
j. G. Brown OF Montpelier amounted to
$4,000. The garage and contents in the
rear of the house were not damaged.
Immediately on discovering the fire,
Mrs. Mayo notified Mr.. and Mrs. Parker
and Mrs. Perrin and then the fire station
was called by phone. Chief Pattee, on
arrival at the scene with the combination
wagon, at once ordered general alarm
to be turned in. The alarm failed to
work properly and ran IL times in quick
succession before it registered the correct
number That was at 40 o'clock The
flames had gained great headway and de-
spite the hard efforts of the firemen
wiped out the interior of the structure
with all its valuable furnishings. The
shell of the house was left standing.
The origin of the fire is somewhat in
doubt, but it is the belief OF Chief Pattee
and of Mr.. Parker that it started in the
basement. around the furnace The
flames had erept upward into the first
story by the time they were discovered
by Mrs Mayo and it was impossible to
save the interior of the building when
the firemen arrived. The fire department
is given considerable praise for its effec-
tive work under handicaps. Despite the
early hour at which the fire ragged, large
number of persons were attracted to the
scene
The residence was constructed three
years ago and was considered one of the
finest in Montpelier. having walls of
brick The house of w. i. Poole was
situated in close proximity to the Parker
house. and those were indeed the only
houses on that side of Kemp avenue.
Mr.. Parker is manager of the Capital
City Press. He is the son OF Representa-
tive Harry f. Parker of Bradford, who
was making his home with his son dur
ing the session of the legislature. 1t is
thought probable that the house will be
rebuilt.
1t was the first heavy fire loss sus-
tanned in Montpelier for more than a
gear and it caused the first general alarm
IN several months.
