FRIDAYS FIRE.
Probably the Result OF Criminal
CareIessness.


During, and after the fire, Friday, there
were reports to the effect that two men were
pulled out of the basement Of the Latin
School building in state Of intoxication
and it was supposed that they were the cause
OF the fire.. These two men were taken to
the station Friday night and were Foristal
the janitor. and William Thayer. Foristal
told the officers, as he told the PRESS re-
porter, that he had built FIRE in the school,
and went home. Coming back he saw the
flames, sent two boys to ring the alarm and
with another man, went into the building to
extinguish the flames, but was driven back
out of the window. Saturday morning he
admitted that both Thayer and himself had
been drinking on Commercial street. Thayer
was drunk and he was mellow. They went
into the school building, and he put Thayer
to bed in bed that was in the basement
Then he made fire in the furnace, under
the boiler, and went off. When he came
back the building was afre. He unlocked
the door and found Thayer trying to get out,
and they were driven out of window. He
ran one way and Thayer another. He said
there was barrel of oil in the furnace room
that had been used to oil skates with but he
didn't say he had used any Of it in building
the fire.
Thayer says when they went into the
building he sat down to smoke his pipe.
The next thing he remembered is that he
was surrounded by fire. He tried to get out
and did get out window. He ran intend
ing to throw himself overheard, but didn't.
Both men are held at the jail to answer to
charge Of criminal carelessness.

description of Bloomington the officers as
certained that he had been selling lead. he
was taken before Mr.. Beals, a gentleman
who lives near the old Mcclellan house, and
he was quite confident he was the man he
saw jump from the window. A young man
named Jordan was quite confident he saw
Grinnell run from the house. Capt. Nc

CHRISTMAS cLus FESTIVITIES.
A Happy Party At City HALL and a
Good Time.

The seventh annual festival of the Chill
dren's Christmas Club was given at City
Hall on Saturday afternoon at o'clock. At
least that was the hour set but it was nearly
two before the children got to the table.
Long before noon boys and girls, the guests
OF the club, filled the corridors of the build
ing and many more we're on the sidewalks 10
see the fortunate holders of invitations.
The galleries of the hall were crowded with
spectators. Tie guests were marshalled up
the stairway at 1.30 p. M, by Chief Marshal
Elliot G. Mitchell and aides. The girls left
their wraps in the school committee room on
the third floor, and the boys theirs on the
second floor. Fifteen minutes later, in
squads of twenty, each squad under an aid
to the marshal, at signal from Mr.. Mitch
ell, the procession entered the hail.
Thirty-six tables were occupied by the
young people, and on them were arranged
the goodies that delighted them. The tables
were prettily decorated, and the gene ii
aspect Of the hall, with its crowded galleii. ),
the pretty tables, the happy children, and
the decorated stage, was bright and animal
ed. After the children had ali taken their
places President Charles Bailey made short
address welcoming the guests and speaking
Of the work of the club. He then read let
ter from Mayor Chapman, who was unable
to be present and speaking of the good re-
suits that came from children in good cir
cumstances working to benefit those less for
tunate, while for the fortunate recipients
their happy faces will show how much they
appreciate the efforts in their behalf Then
the children, under Mrs. Merrill, sang a
carol, DR.. Dalton said grace and the dinner
began.
After dinner was over and the broom brig
ade had cleared off the debris. the pro-
gramme published in Saturdays PRESS was
fully carried out and the shouts and laugh
ter Of the children told how they enjoyed it.
The fan drill; Miss Goodwin's violin solo
the march of the Crusaders; the piccolo solo
by Master Bond the Busy Bees in the Bee
Song; the charming Feast of Lanterns with
Little All Right, and Yum Yum's song
Santa Claus and his trained bear; the wand
drill by the Turnverine; all these features
were admirable and some of them had to be
repeated.
Then the guests were remarshalled and
marched off being presented on their way,
by the Bees, with bag of candy and their
presents, and as they left the cloak rooms,
each was handed bag containing an apple
and orange.
Evidently the seventh festival of the club
was q great Succeeg

GoRHAM.
Society In general in Gorham has met
with great loss in the removal from the
town Of the highly esteemed family of Rev.
Henry S. Huntington. who left about week
before Christmas for residence in Dorches-
ter, Mass, where (as we learn, they received
most generous and cordial welcome. For
some ten years Mr.. Huntington was an hon
ored and eminently useful pastor of the
Congregational church in Gorham and dur
ing that time he and his family became
greatly endeared, not only to the people of
his own parish but to the community In gen.
eral, and il is very gratifying TO learn that
more than 500 in cash was sent him and his
family from his friends in Gorham as a
Christmas gift the present Christmas. Long
and kindly will Mr.. Huntington and his es-

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
NORDECK.

NoRDEcK.
'Nordeck" Is the old story of Vineta dra-
matized. and has been produced in Portland
several times by Mr.. Frank Mayo. 1t is re-
plete with incident, abounds In dramatic sit
uations, is full iof emphasis and portrays a
constant conflict of exciting passions. Mr..
Mayo as Nordeck, Saturday night, at once
commanded the attention and admiration of
his audience. He enacted the character with
skill, and a picturesque vigor that was inter-
estlng and impressive, and he was fairly sup
ported by his company. The audience ap-
plauded vigorously and called Mr.. Mayo be-
fore the curtain.
THE JAPANESE VILLAGE.
The Japanese Village will open at Con-
gress Hall, this evening, at o'clock. Here
will be seen whole colony of japanese en-
gagged in their several avocations, attired in
national costume. The receptions have been
attended by enormous throngs of visitors all
over the country in the large cities. and the
entertainment cordially and unanimously en-
dorsed by the press, clergy, public educators
and art critics throughout the United States.
The Sanford Girls orchestra will furnish
music, and the price of admission has been
placed at merry low figure.
HELD BY THE ENEMY.
Inc peculiar effect in Held by the Enc
my" by which the sound of horses galloping
over hard road is so successfully initiated,
is constant puzzle to those who see the
play. and always leads to unlimited discuss
lon as to how 1t is produced. 1t has been de-
scribed in a dozen ways by the newspapers,
but they are generally wide of the mark.
The admirable acoustic properties of the
Portland Theatre, where the play opens Fri
day. January 4th, are expected to add to the
realism OF this remarkable stage effect.
