INCENDI ARISM.
Narrow Escape of the Village of Vassal-
boro from Destruction.

About 2 o'clock Tuesday morning, most
diabolical act of incendiarism was attempted
in Vassaboro', in building owned by the
Vassalboro' Wooden Company. The lower
part is occupied on one side by E. f. Lincoln's
variety store, and the other side by H. B.
Scribner's barber shop, with two families
living in the upper part. A light of glass be-
ing broken in the door, board was tackled in
its place. This board was removed by some
wretch, and piece of lighted burlap saturated
with kerosene oil thrown into the entry. The
family up stairs were awakened by the smell
of smoke and kerosene oil. Mr.. Samuel
Rodrick, hurriedly dressing himself went
down the outside stairs which lead to the side
walk, to ascertain the cause. To his great sur
prise he saw the entry in a blaze, the flames
reaching the ceiling, directly under where,
but a few moments before, himself and wife
and baby were sound asleep. In few mo-
ments longer the fire would have been beyond
all human control. With great presence of
mind, Mr.. Rodrck dashed on water; putting
out the fire before giving the alarm, and thus
averting most disastrous conflagration, as
the wind was blowing gale from the north
west, which, no doubt, would have cleaned out
the whole square, it being the principal part
of the village Drippings of kerosene oil
were found on the steps and on the platform
by the postoffice, also on the doorstep, and On
the floor in a little shop close by. The owner
was Immediately arrested by Sheriff Ramsell,
and was to have preliminary examination at
Waterville. Wednesday at 10 o'clock before
Judge Stewart Many are Of the opinion that
the officers are on the wrong track, although
appearances are said to be strongly against

The Maverick National Bank

Boston has at least one national bank of
which she may not only be proud, but for
which very many of her citizens feel la positive
regard. In the first place the Maverick
National Bank is one of the most extensive
and best-known banking institutions in the
country Since its organization as national
bank it has progressed in its business as
receiver and custodian of deposits, as dealer
in government bonds and foreign exchange,
and in other departments Of special nature,
to such an extent that its offices and rooms,
located at the corner of Water and Congress
streets, have become noted as among the
busiest places in the city. Almost regiment
of clerks, paying and receiving tellers, book
keepers etc., has been formed there during
the past few years. and during the banking
hours OF the day the throng of people trans
acting business at those counters do not suffer
them to pass an idle moment. So much for
the growth of an institution which has studied
in every way the convenience and accommoda-
tion of its customers and the public.
The departments of special nature alluded
to are, notably, the "placing of money by tele-
graph" and the system of domestic as we'll as
foreign letters of credit" The former was,
by the way, invented or originated by the
Maverick National Bank, while the bank was
also among the first to adopt the home ''letter
of credit system. By wellestablished ar
rangement the Maverick Bank places money
by telegraph in upwards of four hundred
cities and towns of the United States and
Canadas. On the same plan also as the old
