WArEEyILLz, Feb. l3 This morning
a. half-past 6 the cook-rooin st the Bay
View Hotel, in Dunn block, was found to
be filing With smoke from below and an
alarm Of IRE was given. Forthwith all was
confusion ard in the mesntime the fames,
which started in the boiler house, were get
tag under good heatssy. The fire depart
ment was prompt to respond and econ were
throsing water into the house 10 gYea.
Quantities and furniture from some of the
ro' ms in the hotel and goods in the stores
below were being removed to places of
safety in the Eeighoorhood The fire wss
well handled and conaGej TO the eastern
half of the block, though water and smoke
went through the larger part Of il.
There was an insurance of $40 900 aoon
the block ~hieh will cover the damage and
$4,000 upon the stock in the stores There
were i've Of these and every one of them
was full Of goods. Those 10 the western
part o. the building were not reached by
tue tre and the extent of the damage by
water and smoke remains to be seen.
These goods were owned by Pfesby &
Dunn. The furniture and fittings of the
hotel were all new and cost $1,000 or 5000
AID the insurance upon them is $500
which will perhaps c>ver the loss.
The hotel vas opened to business on the
ith instant ard was 10 good running order.
With an encouraging amount of business
that wac increasing. As soon rs the insur
snce is adjusted, the work Of repairing and
-af urIt kss Nd t,al
ahead as rapidly as possible. 1t is hoped
to have the hotel; sgain ready
for abe publ IN eight or ten weeks. As
to the origin CT the fits, Mr.. f. II. Young,
who has charge OF the boiler, says he left
1t at 20 minutes past i, when there wss no
sign OF fire, and wen, up stairs to call the
guests. This was only few minutes be-
fore the alarm was given by the cook.

Fire at New Mills

special to the KENsgBEc JOURNAL.
GARDINER, Feb. l3.--The Gardiner fre
laddics were called ou. at 4 o'clock this
morning to fight stubborn fire in the New
Mills district. The building was owned by
Messrs. George and Henry Oliver ard occu-
pied on the lower floor BY Messrs. D. C. &
+. N. Burr as a grocery store, the upper
floor being used as An entertainment hail
There was to have been dance in the hall
last evening, and il is supposed that the fire
caught about the stove in the hall. The
Burr Bros. had $4,000 stock Of groceries
on hand, Including 100 barrels of fl ,ur, and
the contents of the store will be complete
loss, as it was thoroughly gut.ed By fire and
soaked by the water They leave an insur-
ance of Sl2o0. The building was valued
at $500 and was insured for $1,000. 1t is
completely gut.ed and will probably have
TO be rebuilt entirely, A piano in the hall
wes also badly damaged. Burr Bros. have
been in business in the store thirteen years
They are undecided what to do but will
probably wait until the Oliver Bros, decide
whether tn rehuiid or not. The insurance
was placed in Maxcv's sgercy. This is the
second time within the last few months that
the New Mills has been visited by serious
fire and on beth occasions the Oliver Bros
have suffered severe Losses.
