ORoNo, February 9.-Fire was discovered
in the upper story of the Wingate hall, for
merly called White, at the Maine State Col
lege. this forenoon at IL O'Clock. The fire
had progressed so far as to be beyond con-
troll, and the building was entirely destroyed.
This building cost $4,000 and was insured
for $4,000. Some furniture and drawing
materials on the ground floor were saved.
Several students who lodged in the upper
story of the building, lost everything. No
one seemed to know exactly what caused the
fire as at that time most of the students were
attending church services in the village two
miles distant. The fire departments ofOrono,

promptly which, with the water works at the
college, kept the fire confined to the building,

GOOD POLICE WORK.
Captain McNulty Receivers Most of
BIuem's Stolen Money.

Captain McNulty Receivers Most of
BIuem's Stolen Money.
The robbery of nearly 5000 from Fred.
Bluem's safe, at the rear of his saloon,
No. AZ Franklin street, and the arrest on
suspicion Of the larceny of Mincy Under
hill and his adopted son, VINO calls HIM
self Mincy Underhill. Jr., were reported
in The NEWS yesterday.
Wednesday morning Mr.. Bluem s son
drew $500 from the First National Bank.
One package of IS new bills, and amount
ing to $3.50, marked by Teller Omberson,
was unbroken. The balance of the money
was in 81 and 50 bills, constituting large
package. The money was placed in the
rear room and the door shut, but not
locked. Underhill, who is known as
Nick Underhill; has been for years fre-
quenter of the saloon. He and his adopted
son were the only outsiders present when
the money was placed in the safe. A lit
tie later, Bluem cashed from the money
a check for $98, and put the latter with
the amount in the safe.
In the evening the robbery was dis
covered, and Bluem's suspicious were
directed to the UuderhiIls, and he COM
municated with Captain McNulty and
Detective McNally, and the arrest of the
UnderhlllS followed yesterday morning.
Underhill ridiculed his arrest and the
idea that he should be suspected. The
DOy was mum ana deflanG Tor time, Dut
during the day he made an admission
which caused the captain and detective to
visit Union Hill, where Mrs. Underhill
was visiting a relative. An interview was
had with her. The officers had learned
that Underhill had made hasty trip to
Union Hill, and after, as the boy had ex-
pressed it, he had 'given the old woman
some stuff" had returned to Bluem's
saloon.
Mrs. Underhill at first denied having
received any money from her husband,
but finally she produced the $3.50 un-
broken package, and Sl49 in small bills.
which she admitted Underhill had given
to her. The check was missing, and S63
in bills OF the total amount were unac.
counted for. The package was identified
by Bluem as that stolen from him, and
the loose bills answered to the description
of their denomination. The check, the
payment of which had been stopped. was
probably destroyed. Mrs. Underhill was
arrested on charge of receiving stolen
money, and was bailed to appear for ex-
animation this morning.
Underhill is an old resident Of the Hill,
and comes from good family. He is a
bricklayer, and has heretofore sustained
a good character for honesty. The re-
covery of the money and the arrest of the
guilty parties is creditable 60 the officers,
and Fred. Bluem may consider himself
fortunate under the circumstances.
