A HARD JOB.
Winding up the Fire Alarm Strikers After
They Have Run Down FROM Frequent
Alarms.

The pulling of false fire alarms, as was
done Monday night, is no laughing mat
ter for City Electrician Cummings.
There are eight alarm bells, each Of
which is run by heavy weight wound
by crank turned by two men. All of
Monday evenings alarms were in boxes
mum boring seven or eight for the first
figures. Thus there were large mum Der
of strokes, and some of the strikers ran
entirely down before the alarms were
ended. Mr.. Cummings was at once on
hand. and with his assistant spent near
ly the whole night winding up the
weights.
There are various theories about the
three alarms. but, whatever the m olive
of the fellow, he was maliciously mis-
chievous, and Mr.. Little, chairman OF
the committee on fire department, has
rightfully determined to tspare no efforts
to detect and punish him.

Is absolutely necessary in order to have
good health. The greatest affection of
the human race is impure blood.
There are about 2400 disorders Incl
dent to the human frame, the large
majority arising from the impure or
poisonous condition of the blood.
The best remedy for all blood dis
eases is found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Its remarkable cures are its loudest
praise. It is not what we say but
what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story.
No remedy has ever had SO marked
success, OF won such enormous sales.

Heavy Freights.

The Maine Central is bringing in heavy
trains. all loaded down with potato stock
and general merchandise. The Boston and
Maine are also rushed to keep their freight
sheds fairly clear. Monday the Boston and
Maine ran three extra freight trains to Bos-
ton, in addition to the five regular freight
trains. making eight in all. Probably there
were two hundred and forty cars in the
eight trains. Out of this snumber perha DIS
fifty cars were filed with potatoes. This
large freight business is the result of a very
lively spring trade in many parts of the
state.
