FIRE AT GREAT DIAMOND ISLAND.
The Fire Boat Mary w. Libby Arrives
In the Nick Of Time.

Last summer the Diamond Island Associa-
ton hewed several avenues, each go feet in
width, though the woods on Great Diamond
Island. The trees that were cut down were
chopped up into cord wood The brush was
left in the avenues. The farmer in charge
of the company's farm, received instructions
to burn the brush this spring when favora-
BILE day presented.
Yesterday the farmer thought good oc-
casion to burn the brush. He set it on fire,
keeping watch over it. But, as he says, a
shift of wind came, and the fire got away
from him and attacked the trees on the av-
eauc where the fire had started. In the
me antime young lad in the city, who lives
on the other side Of Munjoy Hill, came
rushing up town to Assistant Treasurer
Libbys's office, and told him Diamond Island
was bu, ming up. Upon being informed Of
the lads story Mayor Melcher ordered the
fire-boat M airy W. Libby. with Chief Cloyes
and force of 10 firemen to proceed to the
sland and nm l. out the flames ifpossible. The
order was prou, pity obeyed and the Libby
took plenty of ho Sc. enough If necessary to
wet down the whole island. When the boat
arrived at the scene u the fire, lines Of hose
were laid at once and b. hye O'Clock the fire
was entirely under contro,. Before it was
extinguished, however, several acres Of
woodland had been burned as we'll as
the cord wood that had been piled by
the farmer for next winters use.
No buildings were burned, the near
est being located almost half mile from the
confagration. When the firemen were ready
to return the Mary w. Libby grounded and
so the fremen had to wait until the tide
lifted her.
There were small brush fires yesterday
also on Little Chebeague and Peaks Islands.

The AtchIson Land Company.

Am in of the Maine stockholders of
the Atchison Land Company, the concern
which has recently got into financial difficult
ty, was held in Boston few days ago. Hon.
Oryille Baker of Augusta presided. A prop
osition was made to consolidate the Atchi-
son Land Company with the United States
Investment Company and the United States
Bank building Company, and this PROPOSE
ton, after discussion. was acceded to. The
stockholders think that by passing dividends
and assessing the stock the concernlwithin a
few years may be put ON its feet again with
out serious loss.
1t appears that the original protector of
the Atchison Land Company was Mr. Samu-
ell b. Glazier, formerly of Augusta, who went
to Atchison and established national bank.
The bank did good business, and was fair
ly profitable to its stockholders. Mr.. Gla-
zier was vice president and general manager.
He subseque ntly organized the United
States Bank Building Company,
which erected large building for his bank
in Atchison. The building proved an I'M
profitable investment. 1t was too big for the
town. He also organized the United States
Investment Company, which loaned money
on cattle and other stock, and the Atchisou
Land Company, which dealt in land In the
latter company large number of Maine peo-
pie took stock, generally, however in small
amounts The trouble with the company is
attributed to bad management.
