LEWISTON, Nov. 5.
An alarm of fire was pulled in at 8 O'Clock
thursday morning. 1t proved to be the De-
Wit House stables. The fire was discovered
a' ten minutes to three by Clark Read,
orother OF Henry A. Read, proprietor of the
stable. Bv the prompt and efficient work of
the nre department the fire was kept away
from the loft in which a large quantity Of
hay was stored. This loft was situated within
few feet of the fire. Two streams of water
from within and one from without did the
business. The fire is supposed to have caught
from the stove in the harness room, in which
there was fire early in the evening. The
harnesses were nearly all destroyed When
taken from the hooks they were charred so
that the leather snapped in two. Thirty-three
harnesses were in the room. The loss on
the harnesses estimated at $1,000. The horses
were let loose as soon as the the fire was dis
covered. Stanley's $1,000 stallion was one
OF the number who preferred not to 20. The
hostler alone, whom he knew, would he per-
init to lead him out. There was an insurance
of $1,000 on the horses and $1,000 on carriages
and harnesses. The building was owned by
the Franklin Co., and was insured in a Bos-
ton agency.

suits of nnie B. Stsgdale vs.. DR.. VIM. II.
Baker and the Free Hospital for Women, on
Springfield street in this city, were begun.
There are two actions of tort tried together,
as the evidence in both cases largely depend
upon the same facts. The first is an action
of tort for malpractice to recover 10000 !;
the second is to recover GEO. 900 damages in
being expelled, assaulted and put out in the
cold on bleak December night, while the
plaintiff was an inmate of defendants hospital.
The statements made BY the plaintiffs coun-
sci to the jury were to the effect that on DR..

after reaching there she objected to the oper-
alton which he proposed to perform; that he
performed the operation in March. 1882.

Informed by the hospital authorities that she
must go away that night, and at about 6
o'clock in the evening, she was thrust out Of

lent and brutal manner; that her cries and
sobbing attracted the attention of q passer-
by, who took her in his arms and carried her
to the City Hospital, where she partially re-
covered. Dr. Baker makes general denial
of the charges against him, claiming that the
plaintiff assented to the operation aud desired
it to be performed, and that the same was
done for charity and without pay. In the
action against the hospital it is claimed IN
defence that the hospital is a charitable in
stituton and not liable in an action of this
kind, and nothing was paid for the treatment.

How beautiful are the above
lines uttered by the worlds great
est mind! How infinite the scope
of mans power if his faculties are
we'll preserved. Nothing, short of
creation, is to him impossible.
Our soul is lost in admiration when
we contemplate the possibilities of
this greatest exhibition of Infinite
Power. Yet what is this "quint-
essence of dust when blasted by
disease--his noble functions per-
verted or destroyed?
As call men are born free and
equal" as far as moral rights are
concerned, so likewise we hold
they should be born physically, but
as long as children must suffer for
the sins of their parents this can
not be. That the human race has
deteriorated physically is conced-
ed question. To restore it is an
impossibility, as long as people
persist in immortality and indul-
gences which are in disregard of
natures laws. The most we can
do then is to ameliorate this con-
dition, and cure disease in indi-
viduals.
To this end we offer to the pub
lie, remedies which have done more
good-accomplished better results
in overthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up to the present time, viz:
DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND
STOMACH SANATIVE, AND
NERVE PILLS.
The former is an infallible
remedy for all affections of the
Liver and Stomach, and is besides
an invaluable general tonic. The
latter is a reliable cure for all
nervous diseases and conditions,
such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness,
Nervous Prostration, Depression
caused by overwork, etc.
These remedies are extensively
