DESTRUCTIVE CONFEDERATION.
The Robinson Wooden Mills Burned
to the Ground.
Loss $50. 900; insurance $1,000.

The PRESS yesterday morning stated that
the bright light of great fire was seen in the
direction of Saccarappa or Cumberland
Mills, but it was observed at so late, or rath-
er so early an hour it was impossible to gain
any facts before the paper went to press.
Yesterday morning Mr.. T. l.. Robinson,
owner of the wooden mills at Madison Falls.
South Windham, was in the city and was
seen by reporter for the Press. lie said
that the mills were destroy ed by fire that
morning, the flames having been discovered
by the Waterman, Mr. Charles Cannon,
shortly after 2 o'clock. He quickly raised
an alarm and the inhabitants of the village
promptly responded. But the fire had APP
parently obtained such Roadway, the fire
pump was of little avail, and alllthat could be
done was to stand by and see the mills burn.
The mills were located under a hill on the
Presumpscot. These mills consisted of three
large buildings, two of them being built of
wood, and three stories high The third was
the picker building and was built of brick.
Only the picker building was standing yes
terday the site of the others being covered
with machinery, shaftingand huge iron grid
ers twisted into fantastic shapes. The tall
chimney was standing, but was expected to
fall at any moment. Between the two main
buildings was situated the boiler house and
| this was where the fire originated, probably
| from the furnace One of the buildings was
used as the dyehouse and another as the
| wheelhouse The main building was ITO feet
long and 80 feet broad. The bridge over the
Presumpscot, close at hand was burned, and
the villagers have to cross on the and
| several of the houses belonging to tine mill
| hands had narrow escape.
The mills were known as RoDlnson's Mills
and were owned by I. L. Robinson of South
| Windham. Mr.. Robinson IS also treasurer
of the Great Falls Wooden Company of New
Hampshire, and these mills were conducted
| by his two sons, Joseph L. and Charles A.
| They were doing good business, employing
about eighty hands. The original mill was
built by William McQuaker in 1867, and was
bought by the present proprietor in 1879. He
| Immediately began the erection of another
| mill along side of the first, and later on built
brick picker house. They were fitted with
the latest styles of wooden machinery and it
was what is known as fiye-set mill.
Mr.. Robinson estimated his loss at $4,000,
insured in the following companies for $685.

FINE PICTURE
BY Maine Painter who Has Been
Honored Abroad.

On Monday morning there will be placed
on exhibition at j. T. Stubbss art gallery. a
painting by Mr.. B. L. Newman, that all low
ers of art should not fail to see. The di-
mansions of the picture are six by eight
feet, and it was brought directly from Paris
having never before been exhibited in this
country. This subject is Lunch la Bre-
tagne." The painter is a native of Bath, in
this State, and as an artist he has honored
the State which gave him birth. Mr.. New
man studied for several years in the Art
Museum of Boston, and after that became a
member of the Art Students League Of
New York. In September, 1884, he went to
Paris, and Immediately entered Julien's
Academic, under Lefebore and Boulanger,
where,i said he, 81 worked for all was
worth from a. m. until p. M, during that
fall and winter" In the spring he was
awarded two of the school prizes, one for
the best drawing for the week in the school,
and the other for the best drawing for the
month.
In January, 1885, he commenced course
of evening study, preparatory flor the exam
ination of admission to the Beaux Arts. The
examination included perspective, anatomy,
architecture, history, modelling in clay, and
drawing from the nude. "At that time"
writes Mr.. Newman, there were over 400
trying the examination, and it is esteemed a
great honor for anyone, French or Ameri-
can, to stand first on the list of those who
pass the test" Mr.. Newman passed the ex
animation, and was marked 1876, out of a
possible 20, making him first on the list, an
honor which has never before fallen on an
| American. This examination is called the
"Concour des Places" and is for both sculp-
tors and painters. mr.. Newman is at pres
ent living at IFryeburg, where he will open
q summer studio. His winter studio will be
in New York.
The scene of the picture is in the door
yard of a Brittany farm house, of which the
buildings to be seen are fair sample.
''While making the SKETCH" wrote Mr.
| Newman to a friend, ''the children (Which
| are depicted) came out, bringing bowls of
bread and milk. and commenced eating their
lunch They offered so tempting subject
| for picture could not resist the chance to
make one" The painting is not brilliant
| one, or likely to very fayorably impress the
| ordinary observer at first sight, but the more
| one studies it the more distinctly he sees its
| beauty and the merit of the whole work
| grows upon him as he analyses the different
| features.
The different features of the picture are in
| delicate harmony. 1t Is full of sentiment
and poetry. The coloring is excellent. and
the drawing strong; 1t needs to be studied
to be appreciated.

ATemperance Remedy.

1t is well known fact that the habit Of using
intoxicating liquors is often begun and still more
often confirmed, by the use of alcohol in medi-
cines. Liquid blood purifiers anda large proper
ton Of physicians prescriptions contain a large
percentage of alcohol. Temperance advocates
now recognize the fact; and it is clear that some
remedy that viii accomplish the desired end of
purifying the blood without creating by any posi-
bility a taste for alcohol should meet with their
approval. Temperance literature for the mind is
now supplied; and surely temperance medicines
for the body should be as heartily recommended.
In the Sarsaparilly waters made by Dinsmore &
Co., of Boston, the public can find such tonic
ana purifier in the most concentrated form, which
is far more potent than any liquid and yet abso-
lutely non-alcoholic. The advantage also Of hav-
ing such medicine in a wafer form as compared
with liquid must be apparent to ALL Here is
certainly remedy that the most earnest temper
ance enthusiast can use or advocate without the
fear that he may make single drunkard thereby
That tired, ianguid feeling and dul
headache is very disagreeable. Take two o
Carriers Little Liver Pills before retiring and 20
will find relief. They never fail to do good.

The annual statement of the Mutual Bene-
fit Life Insurance Company in another col
umn is conclusive evidence that the new
contract adopted by the company early last
year., together with the company's well
known reputation for LIBERAL dealing with its
members, has met with the hearty approval
of the insuring public.
The company has made large gain in
membership, premiums and interest receipts
while its death claims were less than the pre-
ceding year; and this, with their exception.
ally low ratio of expenses, has enabled the
company to pay considerably larger divi'
dends to its members and add over $4,000
to its net surplus and nearly S1,3oO,oOO to its
assets.

The Letter Carriers, Bali.

The ball to be given by the letter carriers
at City Hall on the 21st inst, will, without
doubt, receive large share of the public
patronage. The carriers have established a
band of sympathy between themselves and
the general public naturally from the nature
of their occupation. When to this is added
the fact that they have prepared an attrac-
tive order of dances and secured Chandler S
orchestra, who will also provide choice
band concert for an hour proceeding the
grand march, it will certainly be an easy
matter to dispose CT the tickets.
