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

1895
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.
