THE LATE FIRE.
Informal Meeting of Insurance Men and
City Officials.

Wednesday evening the Board of Fire I'M
derwriters of this city, the Adjusters who are
visiting Portland to compute the losses, and
the Committee on Fire Department, held an
informal meeting at the Falmouth Hotel.
This meeting was adjourned over to the Board
of Trade Rooms yesterday morning, and an
other session held in the evening,
The idea of these meetings was to get at the
views of all in reference to preventing heavy
fires on the wharves. All parties seemed TO
concur in the necessity of protection against
fire in these quarters and the question to be-,
how can that protection best be brought about.
Three points were eliminated from the discus
sion at the first two meetings:
1st Infammable and explosive oils should
be stored in cellars where, if fire occurs, the
destruction will be confined to the place where
they are stored. If allowed on wharvos, the
oil catches fire, explodes, and in burning
masses floats on the top of the water, under
other wharves setting them on fire end IS
thrown sheet of flame ON buildings at dis
tance and cannot be extinguished-
I'd. Three out of the five steamers should
have their own horses; two to be located at
either end of the city, the third in the centre
Sd. The Adjusters did not see the necessity
of the expense of FIRE boat, provided three OF
the tug boats-the Belknap and two others
could be fitted with hose and apparatus, and
an arrangement made by which one of them
should always. remain in the harbor ready for
duty, while the others were engaged in regular
tug-work.

THE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Further Particulars Reported Yesterday

Director W. G. Davis of the Maine Central
says the dispatch in relation to the accident at
Lincoln, which appeared in yesterdays PRESS,
was very nearly correct. The train from St.
John for Bangor was delayed an hour and a
half. The train for st. John-which preceded
the special-lost 25 minutes in consequence.
The special containing the directors of the
road was delayed but few moments. When
the special went around the curve, just before
reaching Lincoln station, Mr.. Davis saw the
passenger train standing at the depot. He
spoke of it, and at the same time Superinten-
dent Tucker sprang from his seat and made for
the door, evidently to give directions. The
conductor of the regular train saw the special
coming on the down grade, and ordered the
people out of the rear cars of his train. They
cleared out, all but few in the second car
from the rear who had not time before the
train started ahead, and Immediately after
was run into by the special To this presence
of mind of the conductor of the regular train
is due the escape of SO many The two rear
passenger cars of the regular train were smash
ed, and the engine-No. 1, an old affair-of
the special train. Mr.. Tucker was thrown
which Mr.. Davis says, will not prove serious.
Messrs. Bacon, Davis and Young of the direc-
tors, were all bruised Mr.. Young the most of
any of them.
All returned to Portland, reaching the city
early yesterday morning, except Mr. jackson,
who remained behind.
The furniture in the directors car was torn
from its fastenipgs and generally demoralized.
On this train there was a forward car full Of
construction officials, who were all more or
less jured.
DR.. Pendleton stated yesterday that Mr..
Tucker has jagged cut on his forehead, in
the shape of a letter w. If it was straight it
would be six or seven inches long. One eye is
entirely closed up, but the sight will not suffer.
Two fingers were put out of joint. The doctor
says Mr.. Tucker is suffering mostly from the
as yet without some assistance. If no compli-
cations arise it is probable that Mr.. Tucker
nay be out in a fortnight.
Chief Engineer w. A. Allen was also
brought to this city. He was hurled over
three or four seats and struck his head heavily
against the stove. He has bad cut on the
forehead, but no serious consequences are ex-
pected.
Roadmaster Volney Fl. Foss of this city is
suffering considerably from badly sprained
ankle.
1t is understood that a settlement was eff
fected with all but one of the passengers be-
fore they left Lincoln, and all went away sat

PLYMOUTH CHURCH.
Measures Taken to Iiquidate the Per-
manent Debt.

Plymouth church, which made start Sun
day morning in the matter of raising money,
kept on in that direction last evening. The
Treasurer reported that over one thousand
dollars was raised Sunday morning, of which
about seven hundred had been already paid in,
that all bills were paid and that there was
balance in the Treasury. The Parish Commit
tee stated that the result of last Sundays work
and the general feeling among the members Of
the Society, that now was the time for adj
vance, convinced the committee that it was
practicable to take measure for the reduction
and payment of the permanent debt. Five
hundred dollars were pledged last evening.and
plan inaugurated that will insure the raising
of thousand dollars, at the least, between
now and the first of next April. Leading
members of the Society stated, as their opin-
ion, that, in the present healthful and hopeful
condition of the church, it was possible to
largely increase this amount, and provide, be-
fore great while for the entire wiping out OF

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
DRAMATIC ENTERPRISE.

DRAMATIC ENTERPRISE.
The sojourner in New York cannot fail to
be impressed with the perfection of detail with
which plays are produced in the metropolis.
At Booths Theatre the "Romany Rye has
been drawing immense audiences and sdeserv-
eddy SO. As a dramatic effort, it is melo-dra-
ma of ordinary interest, but in scenery and
mechanical effects the piece is remarkably
realistic, and surpnsses Boston's efforts as
much as Boston surpasses Portland. In the
Hampton race-course scene the race-course is
pictured to perfection. The wide fields stretch
out to an apparently illimitable distance. In
the foreground are grouped the troupe of gyp-
sies imported expressly for the play, and the
various shows and games are going on exactly
as our readers have seen them delineated in
the pictures of the DARBY"
But it is the wreck scene that carries the
spectator away. In the distance we see the
ship, partially dismasted, rolling and tossing
on the seething waves. These waves are not
the stereotyped canvass waves, but, apparently
great green pillows crested with foam, which
sweep. on relentlessly towards the low sandy
beach which forms the foreground of the stage.
At the right and left entrances to the stage are
imitation rocks of appreeiable height and as
the great waves dash against them they throw
their clouds of spray up to the proscenium arch
some fifty or sixty feet. On the beach stand
the coast guard with lanterns. A boat with
the hero and heroine puts off from the wreck.
1t rises high on a wave and then sinks out of
sight in the trough of the sea. The coast
guard throw out ropes as it approaches the
land, and, finally, rushing into the breakers
seize the occupants in their arms and bear
them safely to the shore, the scuers raining
water from their garments at every step. The
house which has been SO absorbed that a pin
would be heard to fall, rises on it's feet and
cheers with enthusiasm. 1t is this careessness
of expense on the part of Mr.. Stetson the pro-
prietor of the theatre, the talent of his scenic
artist, and the unrivalled skill of Ben Sher-
wood the machinist of the theatre especially
by whom this wonderful effect is produced.
THE LINGARDs.

Dunning and William Horace, will present

CARDS conception of the part is said to be

What might have been serious fire occur

ashes had been thrown by some stupid person
