A schooner Nearly Run DOWN.

On Wednesday the schooner Henrietta
Frances, owned by d. S. Fernald & Co., of
this city, had narrow escape from being
run down. While off Monhegan and sailing
close hauled the captain saw a schooner
coming down before the wind and trying to
cross his path. As he had the right OF way
he gave 1t no further thought. supposing
that the schooner would avoid him. The
other vessel kept on its course, and just
cleared the stern of the Frances, but cut
the seine boat towing behind In two as
clearly as If 1t were done with an axe. The
boat was valued at $3.50. and carried seine
valued at much more. but the net was saved
The other schooner was the S. E. Davis, of
Boston, whose owner will be responsible for
the damage. The damage was due to reck-
lessDess on the part of the captain of the
S. E. Davis, and 1t was q narrow escape from
bad collision.

LIVELY BLAZE SATURDAY.
Henry Taylor's Stable on Oak Street
Damaged.

Inc alarm pulled in at 24O D. m. Saturday,
was caused by flames and smoke Issuing
from the hay loft in the northern part of Her
~ Iaylor's brick stable on Oak street. JAS
vaughan, harness cleaner, first saw fire,
and he raised an alarm which Mr.. Geo. B.
Murch heard and he notified Engineer Porter
OF steamer No. /, whose house is close by.
Mr' Porter pulled the alarm. Streams were
put on from the hydrants, and the depart
ment quickly had streams on from the en-
gines. There were about 70 horses owned by
Mr.. Taylor but fortunately many of them
were let at the time Of the fire. Those that
we're in were quickly got out without injury.
and also the harnesses In the harness rooms.
About all the carriages and sleighs were in
the old stable separated from the one on fire
by thick brick wall with iron doors. The
fire therefore was confined to the new stable.
A large quantity of hay and straw had just
been put In and this was burned or ruined
by smoke and water 1t was amply insured
| How the fire took is unknown but Mr.. Tay-
| lor thinks some one had dropped match
| and IL was trodden on and ignited. The
| rules against smoking at the stable are very
rigid.
Mr.. George L. Rogers of Gardiner owned
the building, which was damaged to the ex-
tent OF about $1,000. Palmer g. Anderson
have about $4,000 insurance on the building,
and Augustus Champlin $1,000. Mr.. Taylor's
loss. chiefly in hay and straw. is not yet
known. He had $1,000 insurance, of which
Dow q Pinkham have $1,000. Rollins &
Adams $4,000, and w. d, Little $1,000. Morse
IL Guptill had $500 on horses, carriages and
sleighs. and Payson Tucker $4,000 on his
horses and carriages.
