FIRE LAST NIGHT-The alarm of fire at 9. 80
o'clock last evening, was caused by fire in the
new brick block recently rebuilt by Nathan
Wood & Son on Fore street. The fire caught
IN the fourth story, which is occupied as store
room and printing Office, and the fire origin
ated in a bag used for waste paper. The
building was not much damaged and the loss
on the stock is not heavy. The building and
stock is well insured in good companies. This
block, it will be remembered, was burned out
last spring, and rebuilt, making very hand
some block. This alarm was the third in a

THE OGDENsBURG OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
morning all the employees of the Osdensburg
except those actually employed in running
trains absen.ed themselves from the workshops
OF the company to await the action of the d.
rectors. There was no demonstration, but it
was understood that not one of them should 60
back until their wages were paid. The train
men were in their usual places and attended TO
their duties as per agreement made with the
Superintendent Sunday, but they say they must
be paid today or they shall stop work AS the
road has contract to carry the mails, deten-
ton of the trains would make bad business
The directors held meeting yesterday morn
ing but there was no quorum present and no
business was transacted. 1t was the opinion of
those present that they would pay the August
and September pay rolls 10 few days, and set
tie up the back pay as fast as possible. This
talk hardly sati6es the men, as they complain
that they have heard the same before but as
one of them remarked last evening, "There is
no money in it," IT, however, they pay up to-
day the men will go back to their shops and the
trains will continue to run as usual
One of the directors said to a reporter yester-
day that there were two months pay due the
employees, and some of them had rather more
thaa that due them. He did not think there
was any conaict between the officers of the
road ard the men, and had no doub. that eve
rything would be arranged satisfactorily He
further said that the interest account had press
ed the company rather hard lately, which was
the reason the men had not been paid He did
not wonder the men wanted their money He
also thought that the papers had exaggerated
the reports of the affair To this last remark be
1t said that gentleman who is in position to
know, remarked last evening tina. he knew of
men and their families on the line of the road
who were suffering for the bare necessities of
life by reason of the non-payment of these

SUSPENDED. 1t is now generally conceded
that the young Commercial street merchant
has gone further than the Centennial. The
middle of last week draft on Mr. John Ran
dali for $1,000 was protested at the Casco Bank
for non-pay ment Mr.. Randall is quite ill, but
his business was managed by his son William,
who left town on Tuesday and has rot been
seen since. A few days before he went away
1t is said he exchanged checks with firm on
Commercial street. Tie check he received he
had cashed, and then rotifed the bank not TO
pay the other. The firm went to trustee the
bank, but found that all the money to the cred
it of Mr.. Randall had been withdrawn. On
Saturday number of agents of western -four
dealers were in the city looking into affairs
One of them replevied on $4,000 worth of -four
in transit over the Grand Trunk railway This
flour was claimed by David Keazer as having
been purchased by him. He therefore re-
plevied on the Grand Trunk Company for the
flour and secured it. 1t is thought that the
son must have secured large sum of money
ere his departure. The blow is severe one to
his father who has always had an excellent
reputation for integrity.

MAINE POULTRY AssoCIATIoN.-The direct
ors OF the Maine Poultry Association have de-
cided not to have an exhibition in January,
1877. Considering the numerous exhibitions
which have taken place this fall, the general
depression of business and the expense attend
ing such an exhibition, we think the directors
have acted wisely in coming to this conclusion.
Another year it is contemplated to have an ex-
hibition which will excel any heretofore hold

If there is any one thing satisfying to man
of business, or man of taste, when he wants
to buy suit of clothes, it is to have a good, lib
eral stock of the best to select from, and If
there is anybody who understands this in the
merchant tailoring business, thoroughly, it is
Charles A. Smith & Co., who have been max.
ing clothes for the leading merchants and best
men of Boston for nearly forty years past. Not
satisfied with others importations, Mr.. G. A.
Smith has made repeated visits abroad, and or
dered exclusive styles and exclusive patterns
for his own trade, and, approaching that
many men have many minds" appears to
have exhausted his ingenuity in the variety of
his stock of coatings, yestiugs pantaloonings
and overcoatings The stock of goods is really
curiosity from its vast extent. Mr.. w. Fl.
Hodgkins, of the firm. is man whess rare
skill in combinations of colors, and taste in the
selection of fabrics for gentlemen's garments
is such that many leave to him the task of Sc

accomplish successfully The fall mporta-
tons may now be examined at IS and 20

THE MUsEUM.-"M Married Life" was certain
ly never more amusingly presented than at the
Museum last night. 1t was greatly enjoyed by
the audience, partly because of the good acting
and in measure because of quite contrary
reason. All the farcical potentialities of the
play were improved, and the result was ex-
tremely mirth-provoking. The farce which fol-
lowed ths play was not funnier
Mr.. Morris as ''Henry Dove" of course fur
nished the major part of the fun, though the
Others were not remiss, Mr.. Donaldson espec-
tally distinguishing himself as "Mr Coddle,"
and making that role even more farccal than
is the custom. Miss Savory made her reappear
ance, taking the part of "Mrs Coddle."
Though she had little opportunity to show her
quality she aeepened the favorable impression
made at her last coming. Owing probably to
the arrangement of the cast, there were some
bitches in delivery, difficulty W hich will doubt
less be remedied this evening.
The bill concluded with the farce "a Ghost
in spite of Himself in which Mr.. Morris had
and improved the opportunity to make himself
very amusing. "Married Life will be repeat
ed this evening and new farce will be pre-
scented.
