The Grand Trunk Fire

The situation is practically unchanged at
the Fish Point coal shed. The hydrant
stream which runs from the corner of Yes
per, not Beckett street as reported yesterday,
was used as an improved mining tool Sun
day, washing out several tons OF top coal
and penetrating the mass of the heap which
contains some 1000 tons. The water runs
through 1900 feet of hose and by the time it
has come down over the bluff to the water
edge it has the force of whirlwind. The
pile has cooled somewhat on the outside and
Is being shovelled away to safe place; but
yentilatipg shaft which runs to the bottom
still belches out smoke and vile smelling
gases. showing that all is not yet safe with
In. These fires, as was stated yesterday, are
OF frequent occurrence in the Grand Trunk
coal sheds, as the quality of coal which they
use is extremely liable to take fire sponta-
neously. Several years ago the fire depart
mept was called out to extinguish blaze In
this same shed and steamer was put on the
hydrant from which the stream now comes
The fire lasted nearly all night and during
its progress several we'll known members of
the department were subjected to an invol-
untary bath by the sudden rearing up of the
hose. Two years ago'on the same night that
the great fire on Commercial wharf occurred
stu alarm was given for coal fire In the
steamer coal shed, which lasted for several
day. II the present case does not develop
into something serious there win be cause
for congratulation.

What mr.. Andrews saws.

+. l.. Andrews of Biddeford, to whom ref
snce has been made in connection with work
upon the government contract at Bar Harbor
and Mr. Andrewss alleged failure to meet
his obligations, has talked to reporter of
the Biddeford Journal. The Journal says
Mr. Andrews was seen by the Journal Sat-
1rday In regard to the truth of the report
He promptly denied that there was anything
wrong about his having come home. This
morning he was seen again and he repeated
what he had stated Saturday. which was,
that he had not left the job or thrown up the
contract and that he should resume work in
the spring. He said that he had intended at
the first to quit work for the winter on the
first of November, and that the sea had been
so rough that the stone SloOpS had been
obliged to lie without unloading for several
days at time. Finding that he could not
continue the work at an advantage during
the winter, he notified Col. Smith of his in
tention to suspend further work until spring
He has been paid $12, 500 In monthly pay
ments, as the work was completed, in all
quarter OF his contract price. In regard to
unpaid bills he says that he paid everything
as far as his money would go, before he came
home. The government retains 10 per cent.
until the contract is completed, and this
amount Mr.. Andrews says is sufficient to pay
all his bills. His bondsmen are Simon S.
and Geo. r Andrews of this city, and the
latter was seen by the Journal this morning
In regard to the above. He said that he knew
nothing whatever about it: that the bond
only stood between the contractor and the
government, land that the bondsmen had
nothing to do with unpaid bills. He said
they were satisfied that there was money in
the contract. and that If there was any trou-
Die which would prevent the contractor from
returning and finishing his work, they would
be well pleased to 60 ahead and finish it in
accordance with the terms of the contract.

I\HIS is the time OF
/ year when little
scampering legs
and little growing bodies
need to be warmly clad.
We don't doubt they will
have warm jackets and
cloaks and pretty ones too,
but there's a suspicion
abroad among thoughtful
people that boys and girls
are not always SO warmly
dressed underneath as they
should be. If the parents
are afflicted with a mania
for economy they may per-
suade themselves that cot
ton underwear is good
enough, relying on the &C
tivity of youth to make
up for the lack of heat-re-
tanning properties in that
material.
This is where the dan
ger lies.
Boys romp, get warmed
up perspire and then they
rest and are not careful
about protecting them
selves from taking cold,-
the moisture is evaporated
quicker from wool than
from cotton; wool retains
the heat longer and so en-
ables the body to cool nat
urally and without a shock,
which are good reasons
why children should wear
underclothing made wholly
or partly of'wool whether
their elders do or not.
With the advent of cold
weather the cotton stock
ings should be replaced by
strong thick wooden ones.
They should be long leg
ged and doubled on the
knee, heel and toe because
on those places comes the
hardest wear. Comfort
and security from colds
should not be sacrificed IN
order to spend more on the
omta0ara appearance.
If this appeals to you,
come and see us about
stockings and underhan-
nels for children.
