The samaritans Fair.

The Samaritan Association Fair opened in
City Hall yesterday, and will continue
through today. This year the ladies were
blessed with fine weather for the opening
and there was good attendance.
The hall presents charming appearance
from the main entrance. Directly facing the
door is the Japanese table,, arranged under
the supervision of Mr.. Macy, the well known
Japanese dealer in the Union Mutual Build
ing. On the front of the gallery, surround
ing the booth, is spread large japanese
umbrella and all about the pavilion, and on
its tables, are displayed the prettiest of
curios, many of them exceedingly useful
Under the rear gallery Messrs. Hooper,
Son Leighton, have fitted up an elegant
dining room in the best of taste. The walls
are formed of rich tapestries, and the por-
there of white lace. The furniture is of the
most modern designs richly upholstered,
The prettiest of cushions are embroidered
artistically by means of the White machine,
and several chairbacks are protected by
beautiful tides, one hand painted in the lat
ter part of the last century.
The art table will be found on the left of
the stage and it is filled with the loveliest
.things-or was yesterday when the reporter
had glimpse of them-including hand
painted workings trimmed with lace, panel
ings, perfume bags, pictures, and among
others superb bronze plaque and an etch-
ing on glass of scene from 'She Stops to
Conquer" This latter work of art is deserv-
ing of high praise.
Between the parlor and the japanese ia
BILE, and the Japanese booth and the art ta
bic, are booths formed of flags, prettily or
namented with all kinds of decorations and
filled with useful and fancy articles that APP
peal at once to every woman of taste. The
useful articles are made of the best material,
with the skill of the experienced needle
woman. while the ornamented articles en-
brace almost everything under the sun.
On the right of the stage, in her little pa
vilion made of the American ensign, fair
Rebecca at the well dispenses the incest of
lemonade, while just beyond, young ladies
in another booth, offer the most toothsome
candies, and on the other side of the main
entrance, pretty booths have been erected
where the choicest of flowers may be found,
anda lovers booth" where gentlemen will
call smiles to the fair faces of their "best
girls"
Last evening Chambers orchestra dis
coursed for an hour delightful programme
while an excellent antiquarian supper was
enjoyed in the Reception Hall. Tonight
there will be promenade concert with mu-
sic by Chandler.
awe would urge upon our citizens to pat
ronize this fair literally. The ladies of this
society are doing, quietly and unostenta-
tiously, noble work. For years they have
striven to help the unfortunates and restore
them to the places in society they would al
ways fill if not made the slaves Of their un-
governable appetite. Let them thus see that
their labors are appreciated and when the
fair closes tonight let the treasury of the So
ciety show large balance sheet to its credit.

A BIG BLAZE.
The Buildings Of the Portland Stone
Ware Company Burned.
Loss from $4,000 to sIoo, 900
Small Insurance.

At 1.40 o'clock this morning, fire was dis
covered at the building of the Portland Stone
Ware Company at Deering Point, and an
alarm was rung in from box GA. The fire de-
partment responded to the call in very few
minutes, but not before the fire was well un
derway. All that could be done was to con-
fine the fire to the stone ware building.
Fortunately there was hardly breath of
WIND, and none of the adjacent buildings
caught fire. Had there been such a high
WIND as there was on Sunday night nothing
could have prevented number of buildings
from burning.
The fire caught between two Of tie kilns in
what way is not known. The company have
regular Waterman and most of the time
there are two men working during the night.
This morning at about l.35, the fire was first
noticed in pile of wood between the two
kilns mentioned. Therela were shavings
strewn about, and in an increditable short
time, the men say, the flames spread and the
building seemed to be all ablaze. Several
streams of water were soon playing on the
fire but nothing could be done to save the
building, every part of which was as dry as
finder, and burned rapidly. In 40 minutes
from the time the fire started only bare
walls stood in place of the building. In the
upper stories there was heavy machinery and
this fell to the ground with loud crash. A
part of one of the walls fell out towards a
place where there were several men but
luckily no one was injured.
The Portland Stone Ware Company has
the firm name of Winslow & Co., and the
members are j. n. and E. V. Winslow. The
business of the firm is the manufacture of
drain pipe, fire proof brick &C. From 60 to
so men were employed and fine business
was done. The building burned was of
wood, and with the machinery cost from
$4,000 to 100000, although the plant could
now be replaced for less than that sum. The
building was about 75x150 feet in size, and
besides there were several additions. The
Winslows lately had been making quite ex-
tensive improvements which had not been
completed.A dynamo for an electric light had
been placed in the building, and was to have
been used for the first time tonight. There
was large stock ON hand which swells the
loss.
This morning the Winslows could not tell
what would be their loss, but roughly esti-
mated it at from $4,000 to $4,000, and the
last named figures are probably nearest to
the actual amount. The insurance is small,
probably not more than $40, 900 or $4,000 1t
is in the agencies of Warren Sparrow & Co
and Rollins & Adams of this city.
A building on this same site was burned
some twenty-five or twenty-three years ago,
nd tha ctr,
was comparatively new one. The firemen
did everything possible to save the property,
but it was of such combustible matter that
all efforts were useless.
At the present time the Winslows were
employing between 60 and 65 men, who will
of course be thrown out of work.

The Train Wrecker.

General Manager Tucker, of the Maine
Central Railroad, regards the attempts made
to wreck trains between Gardiner and Hal
lowell as the work of an insane person.
There is no chance for any malice against
the road and no indications of motive for
the act other than the one given. The OBJ
struction did not consist of barricade Of
timber, a single tie being placed across the
rails. Trains now run slowly between
Gardiner and Hallowell, and second at
tempt like the last will be very likely to get
the perpetrator into troubles.

Brave Fishermen.

on West End Point, Long Island, Sunday
morning, was seen large dory adrift. Capt.
George w. Griffin, Edward Alexander and
Alpheus Sterling started out in their boat to
pick it up. The sea was running very high
at the time and the wind was blowing a per-
feet gale, and as result they were swamped
before getting far from the shore, and the
brave fellows had all they could do to get
back. They made a second attempt and sue
ceeded in picking up the dory; then they
went after yacht that was drifting on to
rocks off Cow Island After hard struggle
with the heavy sea they made out to board
her. Before they got her into port she near
ly capsized and the sea was making clean
sweep over them. They made out to run her
into north side cove. OF the twenty or thirty
men that went on the shore these three brave
fellows were the only ones who would ven
ture out. We need such men for the life saw
ing station. A good many boats and vessels
broke from their moorings and the fishermen
were kept busy saving them
