both disappeared. Even then Mrs. Nelson
supposed there was no danger, but after
waiting for some time the swimmers did not
reappear. She was about to plunge into the
water after them, but was held till assistance
arrived. The bodies were grappled for and

bodies were taken to the Nelson cottage.

found that he came to his death by bayo-
net wound inflicted by soldier of the South

THE FIRE RECORD.
A Disastrous Fire-Twenty Horses Roasted
Alive-Two Men Perish i'm the Flames.

BELFAST, Me-, July 12.-The greatest con-
fagration since 1873, when one-fourth of the
city was laid in ashes, visited this city this
morning, resulting in the death of two per-

$4,000, The fire broke out shortly after 10
o'clock in the stables of the Belfast Livery
Company, on High street, and before assist
ance could arrive twenty horses in the build
ing were literally roasted alive in their stalls,

floor occupied by Nathaniel Delano, barber
Moses Rich, cobbler; F. <. Cade, tax collec-
tor, and w. c. Tuttle, dealer in organs. Mr.
Tuttle, photographer, occupied the third
floor. The building was insured, but the
tenants are heavy losers, except Priest, who
was fully covered. The American House,
owned by III. NJ. Lancaster, and occupied by
VIM. Weeks, the leading hotel in the city,
next succumbed to the devouring elements.
The guests all escaped with their baggage.

cry Company was totally destroyed. The

Twombley and John Casey. Twombley IS
charred body was found on the sidewalk, as
though he had fallen from the building. He

bley and Casey and a companion named
James McCabe drove TO Northport on Satur-
day evening, returning about midnight.
They were Intoxicated. Shortly after they
entered the stables the fire was discovered,
and without doubt they were the cause. Nc
Cabe escaped from the building, but with
hands and face badly burned. Among the
losses are II. y. Lancaster, $4,000: Belfast
Livery Company. $4,000; Jones Il Lewis,
$1,000; +. ID. Fogg, $1,000; Mansfield, $1,000,
