OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Nov 10.-At twelve
o'clock, (midnight) fire was discovered in a
cottage, owned by Mr.. Charles Haines in the
rear of the Lawrence House, destroying the
Blanchard, Lawrence, Aldine, st. Cloud, Bel
mont and Fiske Houses. At two o'clock it
was under control at the Fiske. Fire engines
are here from Saco and Biddeford. Very lit
tie is saved.
Eight buildings in all were burned. The
engines did good service at first, but the water
supply gave out early. The flames were not
stayed they reached the Fiske house. There
they were arrested and finally subdued Be-
side the hotels, some small buildings were
burned. Little is known of the insurance.
The Aldine was owned by Samuel Haines;
the Belmont by Mrs F. T. Flint; the Fiske by
G. Fl. Fiske; the st. Cloud by Mrs. E. Man.
son; the Lawrence by E. w. Barton; and the
Blanchard by Charles f. Haines
The Saco and Biddeford fire departments
reached the scene in quick time, and drew
water from the swamp, but were unable to do
more than protect those buildings
that the flames had not reached.
The inhabitants of the place turned out in
body, worked with a will, and saved much
valuable property. The fire was fully under
control by o'clock, but at 4 the hotels were
still burning.
The following is all the information that can
be obtained about the insurance; the Aldine
was insured for eleven thousand which may
cover the loss the st. Cloud
for $14, 000 which will nowhere near cover the
loss. Mr.. Haines loses three cottages besides
his hotel His loss is $4,000 and insurance
$40, 900.
The Fiske was insured for $4,000 the
Blanchard, which cost $4,000, for $4,000
he reporters are indebted fer information to
the city marshal of Biddsford and Mr.. William
S. Libby of Old Orchard.
The fire is thought to be of incendiary origin
1t is almost miracle that the whole settle'
ment was not swept away, as the sparks were
carried by the wind in every direction.
The total loss is estimated at $125,000.
[LATER.
1t is reported here that human being was
burned either in the Haines cottage or the
Lawrence House. A strong smell of burning
flesh is clearly perceptible. 1t is not yet dis
co vered, however, that any one is missing.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-The central executive of

violent manifesto, stating that the League, pro-

The London Times, this morning, says:
"The emphatic statement of Gladstone in his
speech at Guildhall last night may serve as a
warning to those tenants who. being tempted,
yield temporarily to the no-rent policy. We
understand that the practical difficulty of en-

Governor Long of Massachusetts,, has issued
the following unique proclamation:
Whereas it is common and ancient custom
TO set apart after the harvest a day for public
thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God
by and with the advice Of the council, appoint
therefor Thursday, the oath day of November
next.
Unto Thee, 0 God do we give thanks! Thou visit
est the earth and waterest it. Thou blessest the
springing thereof Thou crownest the year with
thy 20 )dness. The pastures clothed with hocks
the valleys also are covered over with corn; they
shout for joy; they also sing.
Blessed is he that considereth the poor.
Come unto me all We that labor and are heavy
laden, and will give you rest
painter of the fruits and flowers,
We own thy wise designs,
Whereby these humble hands of ours
May share the work of thinei
Apart from thee we plant in vain
The root, and SOW the seed;
Thy early and thy later ran
Thy sun and dew we need.
Our toll is sweet with thankfulness,
Our burden is our boon;
The curse of earth's gray morning is
The blessing of its noon.
And still with reverent hands we Gull
Thy gifts each year renewed
The good is always beautiful
The beautiful is good!
Given at the council chamber in Boston this 29th
day of October in the year of our Lord one thous-
and eight hundred and eishty-one, and of the indie
hundred and sixth.

The fact is we'll understood in New York
that President Arthur holds an impression
that none of the star route thieves can be
convicted. The difficulties met by Attor-
ney General MacVeagh in slipping off his
official robes are based on tho pro0ident g
demand that those who commenced the
prosecutions must see them through.

length of the special session and the small

drawn. The president is said to have civ.

Arthur in regard to the treasury department
is puzzle to the politicians. Edwin D..
Morgan sent his letter of declination by a
special messenger, after intimating that he
would accept, if nominated. Mr.. French
has been appointed acting secretary, and
no nomination was made yesterday. The
president has prevailed on Judge Folger, of
New York, to accept the treasury portfolio
until his transfer to the supreme court
bench can conveniently be made, when
Roscoe Conkling will become the financial
chieftain, The hesitation of the president
as to cabinet changes caused some remark
In the senate chamber, when semi.official
assurance was given that the delay would
end with Friday.
