09 04 The Lindon House.--Sometime this week we understand,
Mr. Joseph Lindon will withdraw from the management of the Lindon House, and be
succeeded by Mr. A. C. Beaurup who was formerly its landlord, and won an
enviable reputation for courtesy and liberality, and the success with which he promoted the
convenience and comfort of his guests.
With his enterprise and civility, he will maintain the popularity and
character of this hotel, and render, it as heretofore, a pleasant and favorite
place of resort with the traveling public. WD

09 11 At about 5:30 o'clock Sunday morning
a fire was discovered in the south wing of the old Tremont house, on West Main
Street, and the department was called out to
extinguish it. While work on the
original fire was in progress, another blaze started in the main portion of the
building, on one of the upper stories, which also commanded the attention of
the firemen. After some two hours' work
both blazes were completely subdued. All
signs and circumstances connected with the fire strongly point to “incendiarism”. It is even said that different parties saw
the blazes kindled and fed. The
building, as is well known, is unoccupied except by tramps and vandals, and it
is supposed someone was quite anxious to see the rookery go up in smoke. Since it occurred, the fire has been the
subject of considerable comment, and no one doubts that it was of incendiary
origin. Acting on this opinion the owner
of the building, Mrs. H. Mannegold, had dodgers distributed about the city
Monday morning announcing a reward of $200 to, any one furnishing information
that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the guilty party.
