Maine Historical Society

The Library Room of the Maine Historical
Society in the City Building is now open to
the public every afternoon except Sunday
from two o'clock until six. There are many
things pertaining to the history of Maine that
ought at once to find their way to this library.
Books, pamphlets, portraits and relics belong
ing to the colonial period, the revolutionary
period, the period between the Revolution and
the adoption Of our State Constitution, and
whatever pertains to the political and ecclesias-
tical history of Maine since that time, are es-
pecially desired. But in gathering the mate
rals of history the Society does not restrict it.
self to Maine. We have common interest in
the history of sister States, and not infre-
quently have occasion to investigate their his
tory as we'll as our own. This should be un-
derstood by the friends of the Society, and
with little effort the library can be greatly
enriched and its usefulness in consequence
greatly promoted.

FIRE IN HARRINGTON BLOCK.
H. I. Nelson & Co. the Principal Sufferers

At 112O last night an alarm from box "a was
pulled in, and Chief Engineer Littlefield and
officers Harmon and Warren reached Ell. L. Nell
son & Co.'s store in Harrington Block about to-
gether. The rear of the ground floor, on the
west side, was bright with flames, and the rear
windows glory of fire. The fire department
was close behind them, and Deputy Marshal
Crowell had a force of police on hand who kept
excellent order.
The flames originated in the cellar OF the
store, on the west side, near lot of waste
paper and boxes. The cellar is heated py
steam pipes, but the furnace is in another part
of the building. How the fire could have
caught appeared for time mystery, and Mr.
Ell. |. Nelson, who was quickly at hand, could
not conceive how it happened 1t is PROBABLE
that the fire caught from spontaneous combus-
tion in the pile of waste
Every effort was made to keep the fire where
it originated. The beautiful Odd Fellows halls
are located in the upper stories of the building
and if fire once got at them the loss would be
fearful. The firemen worked splendidly and
soon had the flames under control.
In the Encampment Hall overhead two
canaries and mocking bird were suffocated
by the smoke.
Assistant Engineer Cummings took the pipe
and carried it into the cellar himself. He is
janitor of the Odd Fellows Hall, and it is the
apple of his eye, and he knew every inch of
the ground.
The building is insured for $4,000, and was
damaged about $780, Mr.. Nelson's stock was
valued at $4,000 on January 1s6. tbs insured
for $4,000 with Rollins & Adams W. D. Little
& Co. and Palmer. Andersons & Dow. Mr.
Nelson says the stock, from its character, is a
total wreck.

Selma, Borg,

An exchange thus speaks of Miss Selma
Borg, the lecturer, whose first lecture IN Port
land will be given Monday evening:
The closing lecture in the scientific and lit
erary course was given Monday evening by
Selma Borg, the subject "Finland and the
Baltic Countries is one so new to American
audiences that many would doubt its merits
and bearings in general interest in matters his
torical and political, but after hearing Selma
Borg this misconception vanishes, and the lis
tener feels from first to last that he owes thanks
to this cultivated foreigner for the amount of
information obtained in one hour in regard to
Finland and the Baltic countries The audi
ence in attendance was SO we'll pleased that a
large number have already expressed a desire
to have her return again early in the spring,
and give her celebrated lecture upon the
mythology of her people, "The Kalevala."
The singing of lovely little Finnish song wa:
a very pleasing closing up of the lecture.

Failures.

The liabilities of the Cameron Estes Plough
Company, Portland, are said to be some $4,000,
assets $4,000. The firms attorney proposed
compromise on the basis of Is per cent. but no
settlement was effected. 1t was recently
claimed that the firm was worth $4,000 or $10,-
600, but the members say that they have lately
suffered severe losses.
Leighton & Moore, dealers in produce. pro-
visions, &c., Portland have failed, one of the
principal causes of the failure being the fact
that the firm was involved as indorsers on the
the paper of George f. Smith and John A. and
Abner 7. Smith, mentioned below.
John A. & Abner T. Smith, butchers, Deer
ing, have liabilities said to be quite large. Set
tlement will be effected in insolvency.
George f. Smith, butcher, Deering and
Portland, will settle in insolvency.
Charles HI. Bosworth, dealer in rubber
goods, Portland. offers his creditors 45 cents on
81.
Aurelius M. Smith, boot and shoe manu-
facturer, Turner, will settle in insolvency.
Isaac G. Lombart & Co., boot and shoe
manufacturers, Auburn, make the offer of 35
cents on 81. The proposition is being gener-
ally accepted by the Boston creditors.

1t is now four months since the ship Char
lotte w. White of Belfast sailed from St.
John for Liverpool, and there can be no doubt
but that she was lost with all on board. Capt.
Dyer, her master, was resident of Belfast
The mate, Mr.. Doane, was married at St.
John the day before the ship sailed. The loss
is particularly severe to Mrs. Dyer, the mother
OF the captain, who has passed through many
trying scenes. In 1866 she accompanied her
husband, the late Capt John Dyer, on a voy-
age in the ship Eddystone. On the passage
from Bazaine to Rangoon, the mate, John A.
Dyer, her son, died. Capt. Dyer embalmed
the body and kept it on board the
ship. The Eddystone then made the passage
to Liverpool, where Capt. Dyer was taken i'll
and died. With the dead bodies of her hus-
band and son, Mrs. Dyer made the passage
home in the ship bringing their remains to
Belfast
