GOOD EXHIBITION OF POULTRY NoTwITH-
STANDING LOSS BY FIRE.
The Yarmouth Poultry Exhibition opened
Tuesday morning, favored by good weather
and the first sleighing of the season. In the
disastrous fire at Lewiston last week a large
number of birds that would have been at
this show were destroyed, which has ma
terially lessened the entries. yet there will
be a positively good showing of extra and
first class birds. During the three years
past Yarmouth has made fine record for
high scoring poultry which is fully sus-
tanned by the exhibit OF today. Judge W.

Robert Pyles, a young men, native of
Bourglouis, Quebec, employed in the Cum
berland paper mills at Cumbe rland Mills,
| was killed there yesterday In a somewhat
| peculiar manner. 1t was his duty to level
| off the rags in the large bins in the store
rooms. AT about 1880 he was missed from
his post and search was at once begun, At
about noon his body was found in the back
| part of the bin. 1t was Pyles' custom to
stow the rags in the front part of the bin
first and then to push them into the further
end BY the position In which the body was
/ found it. is thought that he pushed them in
| as usual and that they fell upon him
| smothering him to death in the dark before
anyone missed him.. Pyles had been
cautioned several times in regard to the dam
ger of his method of operation, but he kept
on until the danger was proved.
Coroner Gould, owing to the evidence
found, deemed an inquest unnecessary. Pyles
was ~ years Of age and unmarried.
Fairfield.
The popular epidemic has struck Fairfield,
and large number are patiently bearing
| the unwelcOme h0nors. No fatal cases are
| as yet reported, and the indications are that
| the back hoEe of the disease has been broken
| One of our foreign-born population, suffer
| ing from an attack, is reported as saying,
"My back ache, my head ache, ! ache all

Parties from Rock sl, have leased I'd, the he

lishment.
Mr.. Alfred 1E, Lawrence, for so many
years one Of eur leading business men, has
sold his residence on the corner of High
street and Western avenue, to Mr.. II, e.
Tuck of Shawmut, who will take Immediate
| possession. Mr.. Lawrence has been in the
milling business at Danville Junction for
several years, and many fear that the sale of
his old home indicates a permanent removal
from Fairfield.
The paint shop is in active operation. and
already there is talk of increasing the bust
| ness.
1t is doubtful if any town in Maine can
show better string of choice driving and
fast stepping horses than Fairfield. These
abound on every hand, and indicate rare
good breeding and training. Not a few well
matched pairs may be seen on our streets
while the number of fast colts is surprising
ly large. The customary half mile track on
the river will soon be prepared, and there
the flyers will congregate daily. The bust
ness of horse breeding and training is made
one of great profit to many in the immedif e
vicinity of Fairfield.
