i)"(!,•'k the great Moving machine factory , (>f the Williams Manufacturing Company : at St. Henri. Montreal, was discovered to

lie i:i tire, and in twenty minutes the tire - had full control of the main buiMin?, and

nothinjr (mild lie dune lev the firemen to '• save out-buildinjrs. The following is the 1 account from a city journal:

About seven o'clock on Saturday even-i in-' the *ccnrsd story of the Williams Sew-

iilielent to prevent ' j , , u .Machine Factory, situate in the town of S". Henri, wa- di-eovercd to lie on tire. I»y Chief lieiioit. The first brigade was Minn un the spot, mnl a hydrant close to the factory was ipiickly put into opera­tion. The St. CiincgniiuY and city brig­ade; v.ere immediately called out but could render very little assistance, the on-

: ly now available hydrants being over 300 ! yards distant, liefore the streams could ; i«- iaid on, the two upper stories were all ••ablaze, and the firemen, seeing the impos-

-ihility of saving the factory, put all their elTorlH to preserve the new wing of the

•building-. A w oodeii bridge which con-iii i led the main building with the carpen­ter's shop soon caught lire, and the shop was -avid only by cutting down the bridge. Very soon I lie foef fell in and the flames wni.-h u j . - e from inside the standing walls liu'iiii d up the sky for miles. The engine lion-.- was for some time iu great danger, the toal basing caught lire. Three gaso-:.;n tanks, which were in various parts of ilie factory, were saved, fortunately, but i he oil tank, next the engine liniise. caught bre and rendered the tlauger very iinmi-neni for the adjoining buildings. After a hard struggle of three hours, the men got the tire under control, about 11 o'clock. At this time a number of the crowd, who had gathered, happened to be under the

1 wall when the heavy cornice fell, bringing with it a heavy mass of masonry. For­tunately, no one was hurt. The building destroyed was almost new, having been constructed only live years ago and cost >w.1.IMJO. A lar-re stock of liui.-lied ma­chines, the worth of which is estimated at :.Uout iflOO.IXKi, was ill this building and «a» tolallv lost,

-me rire'is supposed t« have originated through the spontaneous combustion of -•.la. »a.-te material, which tlic men, in their hurry to leave on Saturday night, neglected to remove from the premises. At a meeting of the Directors of the Com­pany. In Id this morning, it was decided to -end mo.-t of the men to their shops in

•1'ii.afore." See , l'Utt.-burgh and from there supply the Canada trade, so that very few will be left out of employment. The most approved and modern machinery was in use in the facMrv. and the loss under this head alone

i w ill probably exceed §7i5.OO0. The total f i lo?- is estimated at #200,000, covered by

iiiMirance policies to the extent of $11.1-000. The following is a list of the com­panies holding risks on the burned and damaged property: Commercial Union, >ilo.(>00: niu-; i i . \ ' f 10,000; Citizens'. .*10,-OOO: London and Lancashire, $10,000:

There were about fifteen men on the sidewalk there at the time. Latour said then, "Boys let us go to the corner of the bridge, and then turn round and go into Foote's store, and it will be all right," and I then went with the crowd as far as the corner of the bridge, and then turned and went to Foote's store door.

I then went into the store, and the Defendant [James Conway] then hand­ed me a dollar, and after that I left the store. I went up to the Defendant in the hack office and he handed me a dollar. Defendant had a paper in his hand at the time he paid me the dollar. John Latour. - — - - Ashline. and Silas Ashline were in the crowd. After I came out of the door the crowd went in.

I would go into the Nail Office to see if there were any men there that had not voted. I took all tbe men I get to the polls. Whenever WalterGilbert asked me the names of the men I took up to tlie pells I gave them to him. I saw Walter Gilbert in the Nail Office a good many times that day. He was tretting all he could to vete. the same as I was. I saw him writing several times. Don't know what he wrote. After dark that election night I went with the crowd to C. II. Foote's store. I gness there was ten or fifteen in the crowd. I went in first, and came out. Saw Defendant there inside of the counter. A big crowd of these men came to nic the next day.

I was in the store on the evening Of the (tth inst., and up to about 8 o'clock i>. M. I wouldn't say whether Conway or I locked it up that night. We both ef us, that is Conway and'I , have a key to the store. I was in tbe store a good share of the next day, March 7, 1883. That eve­ning, before we shut up the store a num. ber of men came into the store. Can't say whether they did any trading that night or not. James Conway was m the store the most of the time of the evening of last tewn meeting, and while there that eve­ning a number of men went up to Con-Way and talked to him. There might have been a half dozen, or a dozen, but don't think there was us many as twenty. I did uot see what they were doing and

den't know what business they had with him. I did not see him pass anything to them. Conway talked with seme of them in the store and with some in the office. Those men were net regular customers of father's. John Latour was in the store that niirht. Can't say whether Brockeney was in the store that night. He is in there o c c a s i o n a l l y f o r hie t o b a c c o . Can't tell whether Conway had a list of names or not. A number of men were in the store the next day and talked with Conway. I didn't tell Conway to g o some where else and do his business. I might have said to him that I didn't want such a gang around the store. Those men were not in fatbcr'8 employ to my knowledge. Conway is en­gaged in no business except clerking, to my knowledge. W. H. FOOTE.

JAMES COX WAY'S DEPOSITION.

Clinton county, s. s.: James Conway, being duly sworn says :

Mj name is James Conway. My age ia 24 rears. I reside in the village of Platts­burgh. I am a clerk by occupation, and work in the store of C. H. Foote. On the night of last t ewn meeting and about sap­per time Will Foote came into the store and said: "Will yon attend to this?" There was tben on tbe desk a list of names, and * bag of t i lrer dollar*. I don't know w b o p o t them there. V O told me t o "gnelbeuia dollar *pk©e"-that U. tke

I w a s al l . j Q.—State to the Court the substance of j so much of that memorandum as you did ' read.

A.—I believe it said pay these men so much.

Q.—Did the memorandum state how much ?

A.—I believe it did. Q.—Did you read over the list ? A.—I loo"ked it over; did not read it all. Q.—Do you know any of the men whose

names were on that list"? A.—I can't say. I might know them if

saw them. I had no understanding with any person that that list and money were t o be s e n t t o m e . I h a d n o c o n v e r s a t i o n on the subject before this ttnkntwn little boy brought me the money and list of names with any body.

Q.—The first intimation of anr kind that you or any body else was to disburse this money was when the little boy handed it to you that evening, was it?

A.—That was the ilrst I knew about it. The boy was perhaps eight or nine years old. Can't say how old he was. When he handed it to me he said here is a pack­age fer you. He handed it to me just be­fore I went to supper. He handed it to me in the store. I stepped back to the light and opened it at the desk and soon af­ter I went to supper. I do not know and was never informed where that money came from. I made no inquiry to ascer­tain where it came from. I don't know What became of the remnants after they got through paying. I believe I put the memorandum which directed the payment on the desk.

Q.—When you received the package of money or that memorandum did you un­derstand that it was intended for you, and that the directions accompanying the pack­age were for you and was your authority for disposing of the money in the manner directed ?

A.—I did not. We propose te continue our investiga­

tions, and will report progress from time to time as we believe it to be necessary and proper. We make, at this time, no specific cluirgc against any individual. The per-sens mentioned in the above depositions are generally known te all of you , and you can judge, as well as we , what connec­tion, if any, they had with bribing voters at that election. The depositions indicate a cunningly devised scheme te prevent disclosure; showing clearly, that men of intelligence are the originators of i t ; with what success remains yet to be seen.

[Thefollowing graphic personal reminis­cences of the great flood of 1*10. found among the papers of the l i te lamented Hon. <.jeo, M. Beckwith, will be read with interest. J

A writer for the ItEt't.iii* AS recently gave an interesting account of the great freshet in the Saranac river in lKlM). He has fallen into some two or three errors. I was standing wilh several others on tlie bridge at the time the west span of tlie

bridge ft 11. There were then two piers and three spans. The top of the west abutment gave way. The west end of the west span dropped into the surging water, but did not settle to the bottom of the stream. It rested on the stone that tumb­led from the upper end of the abutment and sunk into the water three or four feet or more. The foaming waters dashed over the west end of the fallen span with great force and cangtit a number of per­sons in its sweeping current. Some of them were caught in shallow water and some in a deep, raging current. Those in the tlcep water had to struggle with all their might to get out at it to that part of the inclined plane of the span which was above the water. Two or three were un­able to stem the furious current, and were swept oir of the north side and by their struggling and swimming and the eddy of the water, were carried around to the north side of the abutment, where they were rescued. Of those who were thus swept around to the north side of the abutment I can now recollect only one, the Rev. W. F. Halsey, a brother of Mrs. Edwin Bene­dict. The others escaped to the east side of the river. There was a large and long stick of timber lying on tne south wall of the west abutment. That timber extended out over the river some ten or twelve feet. I was standing on the south walk of the bridge with my right arm over the railing. James A. Hicks, since deceased, stood just east of me with his left arm over the railing; and Alfred Edgerton, Esq., now residing in Indiana, stood partly between us on the bridge. When that span fell, Mr. Edgerton went down with it and was struck by the water that washed upon the west end of the span. I do not now recol­lect what depth of water struck him. Think it could not have been a Large quantity, as he was so far from the abut­ment.

NORTH HERO, Vt., March 20, 1883.

Editors Plattsburgh Republican :

Sir—It was thought by many that our last Legislature bad made laws strong enough to prohibit all seine fishing in Lake Champlaiu, but w e are sorry to say such is not the case; hence the law as 'it now stands on our statute is a dead letter. Ev­ery one knows that Missisquoi Bay is the great spawning bed, and it is also a well known fact that more net fishing is done on the east shore of Alburgli and on the west shore of Hog Island than almost any other part of the lake. There seems to be a class of individuals that are bound to fish,no matter how many laws w c have to the contrary. *

For the past three or four weeks seine fishing has been carried on every day on the shore of H o g Island just opposite Al-burgh Springs depot (on the Central Vt . It. B . ) and no one seemed to take any no­tice of the proceedings, till last Friday, the 16lh inst., when a gentleman from Burlington and one from St. Albans put in an appearance and arrested Herbert Donaldson and a fellow employed by him. Mr. Donaldson states that no copy of the writ was left him and furthermore that these "dignitaries" offered to settle if "the boys" would defray one-half their expenses down, which they indignantly refused to do. It is a fact that the very next day, Saturday, the same net was running,which shows how scared they werc.at least. Sec. 2 of Chapter 170 declares that any "device for ensnaring or entrapping fish shall for­feit the sum of one hundred dollars."

Sec. 3 of this some law reads: "Or lias any of said fish in his possession between the first of January and the first day or May in each year shall forfeit the sum of $500 for each fish so caught."

Keferrine back to Sec. 2 one would nat­urally think that this part of the law means that Herbert Donaldson must pay the sum of $100 and costs or $50 apiece for all the fish he had in his possession when arrest­ed. There is no question but what the law is all right, but can it be enforced up­on those who violate it.

Near Bluff Point, which is just south of Alburgh Springs, several new ice houses have been put up and as soon as the lake is clear of ice seine fishing will be livelier there than ever. One fellow is said to have cleared f 1,000 least season with a pound net he had set in that locality and for which a party, said to be officials, hunted or pretended to hunt, for several days but without success.

Mr. Atkins of the Montpelier Arggs who is credited with being the father of this law has done much good as far as newspa­per gossip goes,but something else besides talk must be done to stop net fishing in Lake Cbamplain. Let the law be enforced to its full extent and we are of the opinion that net fishing will cease, and not till °» en- T13LE KilX.
