you to sit in judgement upon US" The study
of Rev. DR.. Burlington has been robbed of sew

On the other hand it is reported that the

halls, companies of internatiOnalists are drilled
nightly by competent officers and that unless
the rights of the working people are respected
they will use arms.

Industrial School for Girls.
Mr.. Foster of Oxford, presented in the Sen
ate to-day, aminority report On the order for
AN appropriation for the Industrial School for
Girls. There is a growing feeling here that
while the Reform School is still an experiment
and costly one, it is best to move slowly in
the new matter, The friends of the Reform
School now ask for $40, 900 with which to re-
model the bnlding, and propose to place the
school system on a new basis. In view of this
fact, it is thought best by some of the most in
fiuential men here, to hold appropriations for
the Institutions for girls in allegiance until tho
Reform School question is properly settled.

FOUR HOUSES AND TWO OTHER BUILDINGS
BURNED.

A destructive fire occurred last evening in
Cape Elizabeth. About 9 o'clock Mr. Frank
Dyer discovered the store of j. L. Parrott to be
on fire. The store is situated on the Ocean
House road, on the hill above the brewery. He
at once gave the alarm and large crowd gath
cred and attempted to save the building, but S
the wind was blowing fresh at the time the
flames spread so rapidly that it was considered
useless to attempt to save the store, and atten-
ton was turned to getting out the goods. These
were all saved, except the goods in the cellar.
The fire next snraad to tina Town HnnsA and as
there was no engine the building was soon
burned to the ground.
The store was two and a half story build
ing, recently built, 5Ox26 feet with hall
above. The building cost $4,000 and was one OF
the best stores in the town. There was $500
insurance on it, in the Phoenix, at the agency
of W. d. Little & Co. The stock was all sa "
ed, except about $1,000 worth of produce that
$1,000 on the stock.
Adjoining the store was an old store belong
ing 20 Mr.. Parrott. a small building, insured
for $500 in the National with w. D. Little &
Co. This was also burned.
The Town House was valued at about $500,
and was insured for $40O.
The carriage and blacksmith shop of Mr..
Harmon was quite near the Town House. and
was only saved by the utmost exertions of the
crowd igathered about Wet blankets were
hung on the roof and by keeping them con-
stantly wet the flames were kept from the
building, If this building had caught fire it

When the fire first broke out, Mr.. Frank
Dyer furnished his team and word was sent to
Chief Engineer Cummings, of this city, for an
engine. The Engineer sent Casco s, but when
she reached Portland Bridge word was sent for
her not to come as there was no water to be
had. 4aG 4 - y y a

partnership between the governn ent and a

y Third, that whatever may be the faults of
the existing telegraph system of the country,
the scheme proposed affords no adequate rene
dy for them. In this connection the fact was
enthusiastically abundant evidence from official
document, that the present average rate for
messages ia the United States is lower than in
Europe for like dispatches and that in this
country the business is conducted without any
expense to the government, while in Europe
"a. ene annual deficiency raised BY taxation upon
