Cause of Flames a Mystery - Swart & Hitt Lose a Large Amount of Butter—The Insurance. Not since tbe destruction of the Aek- etly House stablcB, burned \In 1693, has Margaretvllle been visited with UB disas- trous a ooiJlngratlon as on Wednesday morning. About 2 o'clock our citizens were awak- ened from their slumbers by eiics of lire, followed by the ringing of the engine house and Methodist Church bells. A glance toward the east old that the fire flend was In our midst and rapidly con- suming to ashes the fine new cold stor- age building owned by S. S. Boutou, which had only been in use during the past season. At the hour above stated Mrs. Benja- min Barrett was awakened and looking from a window discovered a bright blaze In a room in the weBt end of the cold storage building, which was used as an office, Just accioss the road. Hastily calling her husband aud son the alarm was given and scores of citizens rushed to the scone of the lire, but too late to save the building or contents from total destruction, the building being sit- uated on the eastern side of the Delaware and about one. quarter of a mile from the village canter, and was without any fire protection whatever. Upon the arrival of the hoolt and ladder truck a bucket brigade was formed and the attention of the firemen was directed toward saving tbe barn near by, which was successfully accomplished, their labors being lessened by the drizzling rain. How the fire originated is only a mat- ter of conjecture, as no one had been in the building since about 6 o'clock the day previous. Mr. Bouton, with his family, was in Qermantown, where he had gone to pur- chase barrels In which to store apples, having planned to buy extensively of this fruit. Swart & Hltt had stored in the building fifty-seven tubs of prime Delaware Coun- ty butter awaiting a favorable market for shipment, and on whloh an insurance had expired ubout ten days ago, which, excepting a few tubs, beoanie a total loss. Beside the building Mr. Boutou lost about utnety cases of eggs. There was an Insurance of $2,600 on the building in the town Insurance company, but this will cot neaily oovor Mr. Bouton's loss. The cold; storage building was erected at a cost of about $1,600 on the site of the Kaufman creamery, which was also destroyed by fire in 1D0O, the origin of which has never been satiefactorly ex- plained. Of course, there being no hydrants on the eastern side of the rlver^mado little difference whether or not the lire appara- tus was on hand in the quickest possible time, but seemingly there was an unnec- essary delay in opening the engine house, not one of the first arrivals being pos- sessed of a key with which to open the doors. / In times of fire the loss of five minutes In getting a stream on the (lames often means a loss of thousands of dollars. The engine house should never be locked, allowing oltlaens us well as firemen aeooss to the apparatus in case of an alarm. Mr. Bouton certainly has had his share of lll-luok fftr one year at leant. During the Deoember flood his largo hotol barn, built at an expense of $2,000, was swept from. Its foundation and wrookod so badly that It must be rebuilt. A greater por- tion of the timbers were saved. The yard and grounds about the hotol were also damaged to the extent of several hun- dred dollarsfand coupled with tho disaster of Wednesday morning makes a severe loss to fall to one In a period of feu months. Mr. Bouion is deserving of the sympathies of all o'tlssons and It is hopod he will decide to at onoe begin the erec- tion of another building for storage pur- poses. MOTES OF THE CHURCHES.
