G. T.R.. DEPOT BURNED. -Fire total-
ly destroyed the handsome brick
station of tlie,Geend T!nnk Railway
here Sunday at bemoan. The outbreak
occuired when no one was on the
premises, and the cause is unknown,
unless from a crossed electrical circnib
as the local power had just been turn-
ed an, .. The building was a solid brick
structure of modern design, erected
about- eight years ago. None of the
tickets or, other contents could be
scoured"and'with an •iuefective water
pressure the Ai men could accomplish
veay little. The fall of snow, and
direction . of .the wind; undoubtedly.
prevented a' more serious conflagra-
