OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Aug. 31.--Fire broke
out at one o'clock in the cellarof the Hotel
Brunswick. The flames quickly made their
way through the building, and in a short time
the house was ablaze. The guests were in
bed, and many of them had a narrow escape
from death They were unable to save their
are their night clothes. They have found
shelter at the other beach houses. 1t was inn
possible to save even chair from the fire, and
the loss is total.
The flames quickly spread from the Bruns-
wick to the Pleasant House, owned by Mrs
Moulton, and that was in ashes by two o'clock.
Very little was rescued from the flames. The
FIRE then spread to the bowling alley attached
to the Central House, where, at last accounts,
it was hoped to stay it. The Saco fire depart
ment was called upon for aid, quickly respond
ed, and is now playing upon the ruins The
loss on the buildings is at least $4,000, and
nldy IodCu q larger ARuIc' Auo luouIdAOo Will
cover but portion of this. The loss incurred
by the guests cannot at this hour be estimated.
1t is large. About fifty boarders were at the
Brunswick, and some less at the Pleasant.
1t was at first thought that in the panic
some lives were lost. But the rumor proves
unfounded. Several, however, had narrow
escapes from death.
The Brunswick was owned by Robinson &
Co. of Lawrence, Mass. The Pleasant by Mrs.
Moulton of Old Orchard. The houses are close
to the beach. not far from the front of the
Old Orchard House and to the east of the Cen
tral House. At this hour, three O'Clock, the
flames appear under control
[The PRESS is indebted to Mr.. Peter O'Con-
nor of the Old Orchard House for the above
information. His courtesy is never found

obtained from Judge Porter of the Supreme
Court an attachment against the Bio Grande
and Pecos Railway Company for 100000 in a

alleges that the defendants are indebted to
him in the sum of 100000 and interest on a
promissory note made by the railroad to the
order of itself, and indorsed by it at Was hing
ton May 4, 1882, payable 30 days after date at
Boston, and delivered before maturity for
value to Mr.. Hunt and by him duly indorsed
and delivered before maturity for value Mr..
Alley, who is now the lawful owner and hold
er, made demand, and protest was waived
by Mr.. Hunt. At the time the note was
given Mr. Allen had the option to receive GER
tain stock and bonds of the company or, on
completion of the read before Aug. l, 1882, to
receive payment in cash in full with interest,
on the payment by Mr.. Alley to Mr.. Hunt of
800, which sum Mr.. Alley offers and agrees
to pay, The road was not completed before
August 1, and has not yet been completed. The
agreem ent having therefore been broken, Mr..
Alley demands payment of the note in full
with interest from May 4th, and brings suit
in the Supreme Court to enforce his demand.

LONDON, Aug. 30.-A dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph from Ismailia says: We have now
nearly established our line of Communication
with Tel ell Kebir. A railway along the route
is nearly completed, and several trains have
already been sent forward. Gen. Wolseley
and his entire army are marching to the front
A dispatch to the Daily News from Ismailia
says it is believed that Arab Pasha had
brought up his infantry by train from Kafr el
Dwar fer the attack on the British at Kassasin
lock. The British artillery fire was most ef-
fective, and prevented the enemy from adj
uancing in close order, as they apparently first
intended. The loose formation oi the enemy
gave an opportunity to the cavalry. The Life
Guards caused fearful havoc among scattered
fugtives. A train of wounded British is now
on its way to Ismailia.
1t is stated that Arab Pasha is strongly for
tifying his position at Damanhower. All was
quiet at Cairo up to the 26th inst.
Gen. Hanley with brigade of High FLANDERS
from Ramleh is now embarking at Alexandria.
A Greek ironclad has left there for Yolo in
consequence of the collision between Turks
and Greeks on the Turko-Greek from tier.

tence of cholera cn vessel coming to Alexan-
dria from Alden.

A Sad Story.


A sad story comes to us of the ravages OF
diphtheria III the family of Andrew Webber,
near South China. His brother, George A.
Webber, was employed as attendant in the In
sane Hospital at South Danvers, Mass, and
while there fell victim to the malignant de-
stroyer, dying after four days of intense suf-
fering. Arthur A. Webber, nephew of the
deceased, who was employed at the same in-
stitution, started for Maine with the body. AT
Augusta the coffin was loaded on team and
taken to South China, where the remains were
insered. Upon arriving home the young man
complained Of sore throat, and soon symptoms
of diphtheria began to manifest themselves.
He died at one o'clock Saturday morning and
was buried at seven. Two young ladies in the
family now have the disease, and it IS feared
that one of them will not recover. Great in
dignation is manifested that the authorities OF
South Danvers should permit the removal to
Maine of body impreguated with deadly
dstemper, the baleful seeds of which are now
scattered in an innocent community.

A ISLANDER REFUTED.
Judge Libbey Exposes a Fusion
Lie.
AND EXPRESSES HIS WILLINGNESS
TO TELL THE STORY OF THE
GARCELON INTERVIEW.

BATH, Aug. 30.-The following will be pub
lished in the morning:
BATH, Aug. 30, 1882.
To the Editor Of the Argas.
My attention has been called to a communi-
cation published in your issue to-day headed,
"Shall Governor Plaisted be sustained" sign
ed ''A Lincoln Republican" in which the fol
lowing statement occurred:
"Mr Libbey in conversation with Governor
Garcelon, pronounced certain votes illegal and
advised the Governor not to count them. This
is the story, and Mr.. Libbey has never, to our
knowledge, denied this. Gov. Garcelon act
ing on this independent advice, and there is
no doubt but that it was independent, counted
out certain Republicans"
I pronounce this statement unqualifsdly
false The only conversation L ever had with
Governor Garcelon upon the subject referred
to was four days after the votes had been
counted, the result declared by the Governor
and Council and certificates issued to those
appearing to be elected as declared by them.
did not advise the Governor that any returns
were illegal and that he ought not to count
them nor did Ae act usJon anything said III that
conversation, because final action had already
been had. was at the State library and as
passed down the Governors room thought
I would call and pay my respects to him as we
After went in the Governor said he wanted
to talk with me about what they had done in
counting the returns. 1 told him I had called
nearly to pay him my respects and he must
excuse me from talking upon the subject as
occupying the position / did / had purposely
refrained from an examinationsof questions in
volved. He said he did not want my opinion
as a legal opinion but wanted an informal
talk, as gentlemen would ak with each other,
and that it should be in the strictests confidence.
1 stated that he must take what L might say
as merely off hand impressions some of which
I would not act upon without careful exam
inaton OF the questions involved.
We talked over all the disputed questions, l
think upon which the Governor and Council
had passed. Another gentleman was present
during most of the conversation, and Governor
Garcelon enioined confidence upon him. AL
though that confidence has to some extent
been violated by some one, l do not believe
by Gov Garcelon, still l do not feel justified
in violating it till Gov. Garcelon removes it,
and then 1 should be pleased to make a full
statement of what occurred. [ am satisfied
that the public would see that nothing oc-
CURED that in any way reflects upon the Gov
ernor or myself.

the recent disastrous northeast gale are steadily
disclosing themselves. The American fishing

KENAwEE, ILL.,, Aug. 30.-Great excitement
exists over the arrest of Pratt, cashier of the
in the recent robbery, in which thieves got
away with $4,000. The detectives claim to
have plenty of evidence to sustain The charge.
Pratt was not suspected at first, but the more
the detectives hunted for clues the more they
became convinced that Welsh and his accom-
plice had inside help; that the valise being
left at the bank, the subsequent call for it, the
locking up of the cashier and his assistant,
Miss Harris, in the vault were all prearranged.
The detectives feel confident of being ultimate
ly able to recover all the money stolen. A va
lise containing $500 of the stolen money was
found in cornfield near the city.
