The Hyland resi dence at Lowell, which has been used as a hotel for a couple of years, was burned to the ground Tuesday morning. and it Is believed that the firs was of incendiary origin. The- blaze was dlsr covered before the proprietor or guests had arisen, and had made such head way that it was with i difficulty the occupants of the house . escaped With their lives, the loss on . ths building was $5000 and the Insurance only $1000. Most of the furniture, which was owned by Mrs. A. D. Hyland, who was also the: owner of the building,' was lost, and it carried no insurance. John Holman, manager of the hotel, had some Insur ance on hla personal' property in the house. A man living In that neighbor hood is suspected of setting the fire, as be .had made threats of that nature.

Whether Col onel Roosevelt and Glfford Plnchot are really at outs or whether their seealng estrangement is 7 merely a fiction of Kosslp. is a very much discussed 'ques tion in political circles here today. Rumor says that, ths two stalwarts of conservation and ; bosom friends dis agreed over Roosevelt's attitude toward conservation in framing the New' York platform. Pinchot Is said to have told the eolonel very plainly that he did not like his : attitude and that other insurgents were of the same opinion. On the other hand, many politicians do not believe that any serious diffi culty has arisen between Roosevelt nd Plnchot. ' Ths fact that Pinchot did not actively assist in tha reception to Roose velt on the occasion of his recent visit to Washington, out of which many are inclined to make capital, is of no mo ment, according to these latter poli ticians, ; .
