men and conductors do not enjoy, any
more than do the passengers, the present

Destroys House Owned by Frank Raynes

is painter in the employ of the Maine

answer to the reporter queries he stated
that he had no idea how the fire could
have originated. There was only one fire
in the house, when he left it, and that was
in the parlor coal stove. He had left for
his work about five O'Clock and did not
hear the alarm until he was opposite the
cotton factory. He returned to the house
but found he was too late to save any
thing. He estimated that the furniture
and clothing burned in the house repre-
sented a loss of about 500. 1t was in
sured in Downing's agency, $500. There
was an insurance of $1,000 upon the house,
in the agency of Macomber, Farr & Co.,
which will only partially cover the loss.
In addition to the furniture belonging TO
Mr.. Wertzel, the house contained line
chamber suit and other furniture belong
ing to Miss Mary Raynes, upon whlch
there was no insurance.
