Especial to the KErNEBEo JOURNAL.
WArERvILLE, March Is -Redington's 8
tine new furniture rooms were almos
completely ruined Wednesday morning by
fire. Officer Sloper discovered the FIRE about
l30. de Immediately gave the alarm and
the whole fire department was summoned.
Tne fire started around chimney situated
in rear of the crockery department. The
hremen had to break in the front door and
nearly every piece OF cro ckery in the whole
store was destroyed including many single
pieces OF very high value. In the room
above where so much money has been ez-
pended Of late, the elegant couches and
chairs were soaked with water and those
near the chimney where the fire originated
we're badly burned. Mr., Rsdington est
mates his loss at $4,000. insurance
$3.50, partially placed as follows :
$1,000 American Of New York.
$1,000 Cslifornis. $1,000 Union Of

be cleared and new stock purchased.
The Second Fire.
The second slsrm Of fl e for the day was
rung about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and brought a crowd about the Office Of the
City Laundry in a twipkhng. Everybody is
looking for two more fires to prove the old
Adsge true.
The department did not have time to get
out, however, before the slight confsgrs-
tod WAS squeiched. The alarm was caused
by pile of paper under the connser isnit-
ing in most uusccountable manner.

WANTS THE BEST.
HustlIns Amos ?. Gerald, Of Fairfield,
Collecting The Material
For the First.cIass Equipment OF the W.
h F. Electric Road.
Special to the KErNEBEo JOURNAL.

bpeClAi liie N hhNNEbbt
FAIRFIELD, March l6.-A. F. Gerald re-
turned from New York Thursday morning,
where he has spent nearly week investi-
eating the different street railroad systems
with 4 view to making the best sele G 'ions
for the equipment Of the Wsterville <
fairfield road.
Among the purchases made were three
new cars equipped with the WesiiD ghouse
gearless motor of 80 horsepower. A Wes-
tirghouss latest improved generator Of l59
horsepower capacity was ais, bought. This
ia the largest power generator ror in oper-
aIion in Maine.
1.-The object Of so much mower capacity,
said Mr.. Gerald to the JOURNAL msn, sis
not altogether for moving cars. | have
have airesdy had call for two-ihirds that
amount to be used for motors for manu-
featuring and other purposes outside the
railway.
1.-THE gesrless moters are the first that
have ever been bought in New Ems
land, and believe will 60 far toward max
ing our road the best equipped in the State.
1t is the latest possible device for railroad
equipment. 1t is perfectly noiseless and
cars equipped with this moter are capable
Of hauling their own load and two loaded
TOW cars"
The cars. trucks and bodies are made by
the Ellis & Fowler Manufacturing Com
pany of Brooklyn. They are an iron, re-
versble cross sest, open car, with sash
ends to be closed ia windy weather. They
have epripg roller curtains on the side, a
monitor roof and all the trimmings are Of
brorle,
81 believe they are the best cars ever
brought into Msine,r y said Mr.. Gerald.
Tine car truck. are OF late pattern Of
which but one set has ever been made ba.
fere. The trucks are provided with side
eliptical springs ins,eao of the old spira
pate IN, and 4 very powerful and improved
brake, Of the very latest improved style uI
to date.
THE whole equipment although some.
what more expensive than some others,
believe to be economy in the end The
power generator is to be delivered in Fair
field by April 10. The electric cars and
equipment are to be shipped from Pitts-
burg, Penn, when the motors are com
pleted and are to be delivered At date moi
later than May 10.
Mr.. Gerald also bought in Boston 30 ,000
pounds Of heavy copper wire for running
the railway, and large alierDatir dynamo
for the incandescent lights Of Wsterville.
| 4 the purchase Of the wire Mr.. Gerald
made a saving Of abou. 800 from the Ell
timated amount to be expended, the .ire
being cheaper now than has ever before
been known.
In regard to the change in the lighting
system Of the town Mr.. Gerald thought
that the arc light system would replace the
| incandescent nov in vogue.
"Since the citizens are to have the op'
| ton, there seems 10 be . unanimous 0pln'
ion in favor of continuous are light sys
| tenn from Fairfield to Wstervilie.

He is not seeker after office. We do not

Stout and Smith Are Dismissed From
the Police Force.
Officer Hugh Smith, the ex-ball.player.
and Officer Charles Stout. who for years
was assistant clerk In Police Court 2, were
dismissed from the police force last night
by the Commissioners.
The offenses with which the two police
men were charged were of unusual gravity
Stout had been arrested while drunk and
quarreling with his family. He made no
defense, but declared that he did not care
to display the skeleton in his closet.
Smith was discharged for visiting disrep-
utable houses on Quincy street He tried
TO prove an alibi, and tried to show that the
accusation against him was put up job"
But his alibi had broken back, and one of
the females who testified for the prosecu-
ton declared that she had been visited by
three men, who size thought were officers
and that one of them had begged her not to
appear against Smith. and the other two,
who visited her later, threatened to drive
her out of town If she did so appear.
Then it transpired that the most import
ant witnesses. the two women visited by
Smith, could not be found. but written
statement made by them and accusing him
was produced and read and the Commits
sioners knocked the eX-ball-player off the
force,
