ing ordeal.

Clinton.
Free, -About 11.30 Monday night the
fire alarm sounded. Mason's hotel, op-
posite The News Record, was ablaze.
The flalnes leaped heavenward from
the north-west corner, adjoining Lee's
hotel. In this section of the house
there was a general store -room, full of
mattresses, bed and other clothing and
inflammable material. There was in
the same room several boxes of matches
and by some means, probably through
mice, ignited and created the flames.
By great exertion the fire in the room
was quenched, but gained the roof.
Rapidly extending, it spread and the
whole structure was soon enveloped by
the fiery fiend. The flames were ap
parently under control and adjoining
buildings safe. Of course the Mason
hotel had almost disappeared in smoke.
While the ;firemen were still playing
on the fire -bed the roof of Lee's hotel
broke out suddenly in a mass of flame.
Although the the firemen worked hero-
ically with heavy steams from Fair's
mill and the town engine, there was
no possibility of saving the building.
Nothing but the walls remain. The
firemen fought and fought hard for
twelve hours. - The two buildings are
in ruins. Mrs. Thos Cooper owned the
Mason hotel and has an insurance of
$1,000 each in three companies, while
