THE OLD POOR HOUSE.
A Well Known Landmark on the Stroud
water Road Goes Up.

There was good deal of a rumpus Ill
the western part of the city last night
about II O'clock. The western sky III
the direction of Stroudwater was lit up
by what appeared to be a great fire, ano
some prudent individual out that way
pulled in an alarm at box 70, which IS al
the West Congregational church, just be-
yond the Union Station. In response to
the alarm truck three and engines three
and four turned out and went to the
Deering line at Libby's Corner, beyond
which they do not go without express
orders. No orders came for the trouble
was half a mile beyond and entirely
beyond remedy.
The old Westbrook poor farm house
was an old landmark on the Stroudwater
road. 1t was, hundred years or so ago,
the mansion house which Job Themes,
an old settler, built. Fifty years or more
ago it became the Westbrook poor
house, and as such maintained condl-
ton of hospitality until the division of the
town. Then Deering got new poor
house and the old one was sold to
Messrs. P. Ell. and j. M. Brown.
The tenants of the house last evening
were James and Samuel Coney and their
families, nine in all, including several
children and grandmother aged 70
years. The Conveys are junk dealers and
also do a little laundering, their custom
ers being city people. AS the family
were going to bed, about $50 p. M,
James Coney discovered smoke in the
kitchen, and Immediately blaze devel-
oped around the stove pipe. The sink
was handy, with a faucet of'Sebago; and
with this the Conveys fought the fire. for
upwards of an hour. A neighbor, Mr..
Alpheus E. Grover, came and helped
them, but in vain. The fire gained head
way and soon the old house was lighting
up the horizon, and ultimately burned
completely.
The Conveys lost nearly all their furni-
ture, most of the clothing of their city
customers and considerable of their
stock in junk. They estimate their loss
at $3.50, with no insurance. The house
was worth probably $500.
There was no hydrant in the vicinity,
and the engines could have done no good
had they gone out. 1t was rather a'cold
night for the Conveys to be turned out of
doors.
