Last Nights Fire.

The alarm of fire from box 81 last night
was caused by the discovery of blaze in the
second story Of the stable on Green street, in
the rear of the City Hotel, used by Eastman
& Goodwin for the storage of carriages. The
fire was put out in few minutes. A num-
Der of sleigh hacks inE the building were
damaged by water, probably to the extent of
number of hundred dollars. The loss will
be covered by insurance.
1t is supposed that the fire was set by some
person who entered the building and got in
to the upper story through the elevator shaft.
There had been no fire in the building 1t is
thought that perhaps some tramp set the
building on fire while smoking after effecting
an entrance for the purpose of finding q
sleeping place.
The fire was discovered by Mr.. II. d. Rich
ardson, who Immediately gave still alarm
at the house Of engine No. /. A line of hose
was quickly laid, and Mr. M. II. Sawyer
took the pipe, and before the alarm was
sounded he had the fire under control. Mr..
Sawyer is entitled to much credit for his cool
ness and effective work

whom have been employed at Eastman &
Goodwin's stable on Green street, had an al

started to wash some carriages. Brown
took up plckaxe and following McGinnis
struck him blow in the back, just above the
kidneys. A man standing near caught

was taken to the police station and locked

that McGinnis called him insulting names

that he had not been drinking. He asked
how McGlnnis was, and seemed to feel his

child.
Dr. Swasey said in regard to the matter

rhe corn PACKING Industrx.

The corn, bean and tomato packing season
is over, and the packers have figured up the
results. 1t has been many year since they
were so satisfactory. The packers Of Maine
have put up this year 447,9OO cases of corn.
As each case contains "a cans, the total
number of cans mounts up to 10,701, 600.
These statistics leave out the vast quantities
of Lima beans, baked beans, tomatoes,
squash. ETC., which have been canned, but all
these products together, do not come up to
the OUTPUT of corn. The packers have paid
to Maine farmers for vegetables, nearly
100000. These figures show of what great
Importance as an increment to the profits OF
Maine agriculture the sweet corn canning
business has become. Fully 100000 more
has been paid by the packers to their can
makers and other employees.
The business of the several companies the
past season is as follows:
Winslow Packing Company-137, 900 cases
Of corn, 2700 cases of succOtash, 1000 cases oil
Lima beans.

A Problem for the Steamship Com
panies.

A despatch from Ottawa to Halifax, Mon
day, announces that at a Cabinet council
after full discussion, the Postmaster Gem
eral was instructed to omit Portland or any
other port from the advertisements calling
for tenders for the mail service and to insert
'Halifax and st. john" Thus subsidized
mail steamers must make some Canadian
port their terminus. There is great deal
of speculation as to whether the Allan and
Dominion Lines will withdraw from Port
land or throw up the mail subsidies.
AT the steamship companies offices here
nothing is known in regard to the above
dispatch or the action of the Cabinet AT
any rate the present contract does not ex-
pire until some time in 1887.

LongfeIIow chautauouan circle.

AT a meeting Monday evening the greater
part OF the time was occupied in discussion
of "a domestic education for BOYS" Mrs.
Bashford opened the question with a well
planned argument, and was followed by Mr..
Edson' Mrs. McFadden, Mrs. Hinkley, Mr..
Marguand. DIR. Holt Master Edison and Miss
Battle. The general opinion was that boys
should be taught to sew, darn, sweep, etc,
not in anticipation of the day when the wife
will discuss politics on the street corners,
and patronize the club room, but that he may
know how to sympathize and aid In the trials
and duties of home. The circle voted to OBJ
serve "Milton" day, and to invite the Chau-
tauquans of the city to join with them.
