The Lee Normal Academy, one of the
oldest and best known educational institu-
lions in the State, was bur ned Wednesday
The loss is unestimated, but the property
is partially insured.
Tuesday the tug Perry came steamng
up the kennebec river with the schooner
l.. A. Piummer, commanded by Captain
Howe. The schooner anchored at Rus
sells Richmond house to load ice. This is
the first vessel of the season.
An attempt was made Tuesday evening
to set fire to the buildings of Edward
Lovejoy, a Biddeford expressman residing
on Bradbury street. Mr.. Lovejoy smelled
smoke and found an incendiary had start
ed a fire in some rubbish in the rear of the
stable. He extinguished the blaze without
assistance.
The false report of the marriage of a
prominent Young Rockland man was pub
lished in last weeks Free Press The story
was started as joke.
Fire broke out a few minutes past one
O'Clock Thursday afternoon among the saw
mills on Water street, Fairfield The
greatest excitement prevailed for half an
hour. The blaze was in the midst of

and unless it was controlled in a few
minutes million of property would have
gone up in flames. The firemen did
splendid work and confined the loss to
about $500, which will be sustained by the
Somerset Fibre Co., the fire being mostly
in sawdust tower built by them at the
rear of the Phillips mills.
The house and farm buildings of J.F.
Hamilton in Garland, were burned Thurs.
day morning, the inmates having narrow
escapes. The contents of the barn and
house were destroyed including hay, farm
ing tools, COW, furniture and personal
effects. The fire probably caught about
the chimney. Loss unknown; insurance,

Friday morning as the train on the
Rumford Falls and Buckheld railroad
passed Lake Anasagunticook, the engineer
detected something on the track ahead
Brakes were applied and the train stopped
just as it reached the point. 1t proved to
be pile of stumps, and a rail, so placed
as to block the track. The switchman's
house was also burned. Just before
reaching the place party of men had been
passed, and word was sent to Canton.
The fellows admitted burning the SWITCH
mans shelter but before an officer could

Republican Prospects,

Republican victories this spring have
over-cloudsd the sky which looked so
bright to Democrats after the elections
last fall. Then Democrats carried every
thing, and were sure it was verdict of
the people against the Republican policy
generally, and the Mckinley Tariff in
particular. But the elections of this year,
Democrats try to believe, mean nothing.
City and town elections in New England
and New York, State elections In Rhode
Island and Michigan, the city elections in
Cincinnati, Cleveland and Chicago. and
many other western cities, especially in
Kansas, result in surprising Republican
victories or gains. But 1t would never do
to admit that the people have the Republi-
can tariff or the Republican policy in
mind. This time, according to Demo-
cratic interpreters, the voting is meaning
less.
The Interpretation of elections last year
was false, aud Republicans will not fall into
a similar self-deluson. Local questions
turned the scale against Republicans then,
and have now turned the scale for them. in
some localities. Stupid Indifference of
many voters cost important States last
November while in March and April he
who reads the returns can see many of the
same voters kicking themselves for their
past neglect. ii Tue mean no
more than this, they are enough to make
Democratic prophets more careful about
predictions for 1892. But something more
they evidently do mean.
1t is safe to say that the Republican
party, in the light of the late elections,
appears more thoroughly united in opinion
aud resolute in purpose than it was last
November On the same evidence the
Democratic party is far more disturbed
by internal dissensions, antagonisms of
opinion, and local quarrels than 1t was
then. These things count for much, and
in some localitie. suffice to explain the
change of votes. They confirm, too what
Republicans have claimed ever since the
returns of November came. that the
forces which were for that occasion only
brought by haphazard to work together
could never be counted upon to cooperate
in any subsequent election, and least of
all in any National contest. The Demo
cratic party had the efficient aid, much Of
it ignorantly and Internationally given. Of
thousands who had no idea OF helping that
party or promoting its objects then, and
Of thousands more who know now that
they were unspcakably foolish to he used
a. its tools 1t united the efforts for that
occasion only. OF men who are rrevocably
hostile on every living issue of the day
free-coinage men and gold monomctallists
Free Traders aud protected manufacturers.
Even before the party has begun TO con-
slider what 1t can do next these discordant
elements are fighting.
The Republican party on the other
hand. was more divided hy mi,appre-
| hension aud ignorance last November than
in any other contest. II has learned some
thing since that time with regard TO the

Republican Victory in Michigan.

The Plurality Expected to be 5,OOO-Gains
in small Districts.
DETROIT, Mich, April I. -Returns from
yesterdays election so far received indi-
cate that the Republicans have carried the
State by about 5000 plurality. There are
many districts still to be heard from, how
ever, and the vote may run considerably
closer, but it is not thought that later re-
turns will make any material change in the
result The indications are that Mont
gomery (Rep.), for Supreme Court Justice
carries the Upper Peninsula by about 3 900.
The Republicans appear to have made
gains in smaller districts. while the Demo
cratic VOTE was all polled in the cities.
In the municipal elections in the larger
cities the Democracy held it's own and
made large gains. Grand Rapids. Saginaw

SAVE MONEY AND SUFFERING.

ONE feature of the thousands of testimonials
that have been given in behalf of S. S. S. is re-
markable. In numbers Of instances il is relat-
ed that a great deal OF time and money have
been spent in vain effort to secure relief from
disease in the usual way A know ledge Of the
virtues Of Swift's Specific would have saved
the time and the money, to say nothing Of the
prevention Of the suffering. There need be no
such mistakes made now. The great blood
purifier is for sale by druggists everywhere,
and the s. S. S. company in Atlanta will send

enced the benefits of this wonderful medicine.
