FIRE.-Just before o'clock this morning
fire was discovered by officers Cnrran and Col
by in the boot and shoe store of Walter Berry,
No. 101 Middle street, in the Lewis Block.-
It was found to come from the cellar, near the
furnace. From its location it proved stub
born foe, but after half AN hours fight it was
got under. The stock was left in an almost ru-
ined condition from smoke and water. Mr..
Berry on the first of January valued it at
about $4,000, on which there was an insurance
of $4,000 in John E. Dow & Sons agency and
$1,000 in L. S. Twombly's Office. The building
is owned by 7. c. Ii wis., and is considerably
damaged. 1t was probably insured. Water
was used from the hydrant in front of the
store, which is the first use made of Sebago for
fire purposes. Mr.. Berry was in the store at
5o'clock Sunday afternoon and built fire in
the furnace, and it was probably over heated
or there was defect in its setting.
