Fire at the Rochester Station

An alarm was pulled in from box 80 yester-
day at 3.15 p. M, which proved to be in the
now freight addition to the passenger station
of the Portland & Rochester Railroad Com
pany at the foot of Preble street. Chief En-
gineer iittlefeld says the man in charge
stated to him that there had been no fire in
that part of the building, but the Advertiser
says the fire probably caught from stove in
which fire had been made in the afternoon.
Chief Littlefield thought that spark from a
locomotive had been carried by the high wind
under the building and that the fire worked
up into ths second story, between the lathing
and clapboards, as that part of the building
was tie most injured. The loss may be $75 at
rough guess. Covered by insurance.

Charitable Mechanics Association.
The plaintiff boy ten years of age, testified that
the afternoon of the 2lst of July last he left his
home on Danforth street. went to confectioners on
Congress street, purchased some candy, and on his
from Congress street, between Mechanics Hall and
the building below, a large gate which closes the
alley blew over upon him, throwing him to the
pavement, fracturing the thigh bone, breaking his
teeth and bruisng his face that by of these
injuries his leg is one inch shorter than the other
and he is permanently injured for life. 1t was
very windy day. 1t is claimed on the part of the
plaintiff that this gate was built by, and under
the exclusive control of the defendants; that the
gate was negigently and insecurity fastened, and
that thereby the accident occurred. The damages
claimed in the writ are $4,000. The testimony for
the plaintiff is in progress
