BUILDINGS BURN
A DISASTROUS FIRE OCCURS AT
BATH, ME.
NV cnty Buildings. Including the
Leading Hotel, Are Destroyed,
Causing "a Loss of $500, OOO-Help
From the Adjoining own

Bath, Me-, Jan. 29.-One of the most
disastrous fires in the history of the city
broke out to-day in the Sagadahock
stables. A large part of the business
portion OF the city was Quilted, about
twenty buildings being destroyed. The
fire spread SO rapidly that the department
was wholly unable to cope with il. Calls
for assistance sent to Portland and
Lewiston brought steamers and two hand
engines were sent from Brunswick. The
water pipes were frozen or broken, and
but few of the hydrants could be used,
and il was some time before effective
work could be done. The fire communi-
Gated to the hotel from the stables, and
the hoese, which is the leading hostelry
of the city, was quickly Quilted. The
adjoining buildings were soon in flames
and before the fire could be controlled
100000 worth of property was de-
stroyed. The following were burned out
and are the heaviest losers: Sagada-
hook house, Lincoln National bank, A.
Hallett & Co, druggists; j. o. Shaw,
Ice ks ller and stationer; j. s. Douglass,
clothing: Marine National bank; ID. L.
Ferry & Sons, dry goods, also their

Larber; F.. j. Parks & Co, cigar manu-
facturers: Twenty-Five-Cent institution;
Charles III. Norton, cigar dealer; w. G.
Webber, druggist. Several society halls,
IL surance and lawyers and doctors offices
ard dwellings were also burned, while
the Times Printing company and n num-
Der of stores were considerably damaged
by water.
