FIRE At NORRIDGEW0cK.
The Sawyer House Destroyed-Stabes and
Furniture Saved-Loss. $4,000.

South Norridgcwock, June 90
(SpeciaD. One of the most disastrous
fires Norridgewock has seen since 1881,
occurred, this morning. The Sawyer
house, the only hotel in South Norridgo-
wock, was burned to the ground. The
stables were saved by the heroic efforts on
the part of the citizens.
The fire was discovered at 3 O'Clock In
the kitchen and it had gained such head
way that it was impossible to save the
building. Nearly all the furniture on the
lower floor was saved. One OF the young
ladies employed in the kitchen narrowly
escaped being burned and had to be taken
out of the window.
A bIcyclist was sent to Skowhegan for
the fire department, but before 1t started
word was sent that the fire was under
control. At about O'Clock 1t was found
that the woodshed was on fire and another
alarm was sounded, but the fire was soon
put out.
The building was owned by Sawyer
Bros, who estimated the loss at ABOUT
$4,000 which is partly covered by insur-
ance.

FIRE AT RICHMOND.
Cause Lies Between Drunken Man and ;
Spark from Locomotive.

Richmond June 20-(SpeciaD AT
about II O'Clock, Thursday forenoon, fire
was discovered in an old stable belonging
to the Samuel Odiorne estate in the rear
of the Tempest Engine Companys house
and adjoining the land of the Maine Cen
tral Railroad Company The building
was occupied by +. G. Conner, who had
four horses in it when the fire was dis
covered. The horses and two or three old
carriages were taken out of the stable be
fore the alarm was given.
The cause of the fire is matter for
1t has been suggested that it
was set by the careless use of matches in
the hands of drunken man who was
seen about the prmeises a few minutes be
fore the presence of the fire was detected
while others claim that the fire was com
municated by sparks from locomotive
BE that as it may, the flames quickly
spread over the entire structure and at one
time much concern was felt for the safety
of the adjacent dwellings.
Some little delay in getting water upon
the fire was occasioned by a passing
freight train coming between the burning
building and the firemen. Once under
way, however, the flremen got in good
work and prevented the building being
burned to the ground. The roof was
pretty nearly burned off and the flames
burst through the walls in several places
The building will probably be taken
down. There was no insurance. The
firemen are highly to be commended for
their efficient service, but not a few citi-
zens suggest the disability of reorganiz
ing the department.
Miss Alice G. Baker, youngest daughter
of W. c. Baker, was married, Wednesday
evening. to Mr.. George n Gushing of
Belmont. n. H. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. E. W. Churchill of the
Free Baptist church of which the bride is
member. The couple will make their
future home in Belmont.

The Meaning of Insurance is to In

Are You Sure Your Company
Can Do This?

Is 1t not as essential to know
that the company promising this

Yet in past twenty years more
than half the companies allowed
