MAINE DISPATCHES.

Fire Discovered in the Boiler Room
Early Sunday Morning.


BANGOR. May 5.
Fire was discovered in the boiler room OF
the Bangor House kept by Landlord H. c.
Chapman and the largest hotel iu the city,
about $50 O'Clock this morning. The fire
assembled the walls of the two story wooden
structure connecting the two large brick
buildings forming the hotel. Six streams of
water were thrown upon the flames, which,
after three hours work were extinguished.
Some of the guests and regular boarders
awoke at the time and others being quickly
aroused, gathered together their effects and
carried them to place of safety. Some
were naturally excited, but became calm
when they found that there was no immedi-
ate danger. No accident occurred,
Much of the furniture was saved but some
what damaged in removal. The fire was
confined to the wooden structure, the roof of
which was consumed and the walls damaged.
This portion of the building was completely
drenched with water.
The boarders at the hotel police and 9th
ers lent valuable assistance in saving the fur
nilure The hotel is owned by +. o. Beal,
who is insured for $40 900. while Landlord
Chapman carries $1,000 on the furniture and
fixtures. This il is thought will cover the
loss.
Notwithstanding the big fire there was but
little disarrangement in the excellent service
of the house, the guests being served with
meals at nearly the regular hours.

Mr.. George W. Cole of Chicago. who was
in Oklahoma when that territory was thrown
open to settlement, had a conference with
Atty Gen. Miller this afternoon in regard TO
the conduct of government officers on that
occasion. According to his statement, Mar
shal Jones of Kansas and nearly all of his
600 deputies look Illegal advantage Of their
official position TO get possession of choice
land MI. Cole said he was on the spot, and
sas prepared to substantiate his charges
against Marshal Jones and his deputies.
He said. further, that Marshal Needles and
his deputies of the Oklahoma district were
alleged to be equally cuIpable in the mat
ter, but, as he was not personally cognizant
of the facts so far as these officials were IN
cerned he did not care 10 be responsible for
the charges against them. He had seen
enough however. during his stay of three
days in the territory to convince him that
certain persons had been given unfair ai-
vantages in securing claims and he deemed
it his duty to bring the matter TO the atten-
ton of the proper authorities.
