MAINE DISPATCHES.
FIRE In WILTON.
one OF the Finest Buildings in Town
Burned.

WILTON, Feb. 5.
y. ". Sawyer's store and grist mill at Will
ton were burned, Thursday night. The Re-
cora once and Odd Fellows hall were in the
building. Sawyer's building was one of the
hnest stores in Wilton, built some seven wears
ago and occupied in the basement by w. G.
sawyer Co. as general store. The Odd
Fellows had the hall fitted up on the third
floor in excellent shape. part of the second
moor had recently been fitted into an office
for the Wilton Record, published by r. A..
Merrow. He has occupied his new quarters
but few months. The grist mill, owned IN
part and run by J. +. Palmer, had been put in
thorough repair within few wear. and an
extensive trade in corn and teed, and custom
generally centered there. The loss will prob
ably reach Sl5 600 or S2o, 1000.
The origin of the fire is supposed to have
been hot box in the grist mill. The losses
and insurance as nearly as can be learned is
as follows: E. Palmer, grist mill, machin-
cry and large amount of grain; email in
surance. w. Z. Sawyer & Co., building,
$4,000; insurance abou: $1,000; goods valued
from $4,000 to $1,000; partly saved; insured
for Sll00. r. A. Morrow, presses, printing
material, etc, valued at S230O; small amount
of type saved in bad condition; three presses
and most of the other material are total
loss; insured for $780, The Odd Fellows
saved part of their furniture; had also some
insurance. The fire has cast q gloom over
the whole community and is a serious blow
to the business of the place. The proprie-
tors are, however, looking about to see
where they can reopen. The Wilton Rec
ord has already engaged rooms in Grams
block and will be published as heretofore.

THE BATES MILL TROUBLE.
Large Meeting of the knights of Labor
Awaiting the Return of the Agent.

LEWISTON, Feb 5.
The situation in regard to the closing of
the Bates mills has not practically changed
today. The absence of Mr. Pratt, the agent,
from the city, he having left by tie midnight
train for Boston, leaves affairs as they were
yesterday in regard to the mills. No orders
have been given for the beginning of work,
and the various committees of the labor or
ganizations have not yet had opportunity to
wait upon him.
meeting of the Knights of Labor was held
Thursday evening. The attendance was so
large that their hall could not contain them,
and they adjourned to City Hall where
meeting was held late into the evening. The
Knights of Labor, it is stated on good author
ity, have not as body taken cognizance OF
this as strike.

A Delegation Calls on Marquis Salisbury
in Relation to the Labor Question.

LONDON, Feb. 5.
Marquis Salisbury today received = depu.
tstion of unemployed workmen who called to
urge on him the necessity existing tor gov
ernment help.
Lord Salisbury denounced the policy in
vogue among foreign governments fostering
industries by granting bounties from the
public treasury, calling it false political
economy. In conclusion, the ex-premier de-
clared the statesmen and Parliament must
confront the question OF how best to solve
the problem OF relieving the present general
distress. II was growing while the popula-
tion was increasing, and caused emigration.
Governmental support of private enterprises
might be a good way to afford temporary re.
lief and promotion, and public work might
be another. He would do his utmost to con.
tribute to satisfactory solution of the prob
lem.
