planning MILL BURNED.
The Firemcn Made u Brave Effort to
Snve 1t, but Failed.

This city wasqvisited last evening by a
disastrous fire, the first of any serious i'm
portance that has occurred for some time
In some Lnaccountahle manner flames
broke out in,Wooh & Co.'S planning mill, I51
Maryland avenue, and. owing to the infiam-
mable nature of the contents, the building
was completely destroyed, mourning a loss
of upward of Sl0,Hbo. n i."
The larger portion of the building sat
back from the main street on an alley run
ming west from A.. street The main build
Ing was a two-story brick structure. and
there was also an addition OF frame. The
fire apparently had its origin in the neigh
borhood of the engine room. and all the
fine machinery necessary to such a buSi-
ness was completely wrecked, the loss from
this source alone amounting to fully $1,000.
The flames were discovered by the watch
man, Charles Anderson, while he was MAX
ing his rounds of the place. He at once
turned in an alarm from box Al. A second
alarm followed few minutes later. calling
out three more engines and a truck, but the
fight was a hopeless one from the start
Before the first stream of water could be
turned upon the structure the flames had
got such headway that it was evident little
could be done beyond saving the adjoining
property. A row of small houses, occupied
by colored people, on the opposite side of
the alley, was in imminent danger of de-
struction, but the diligent efforts of the
tremen kept the flames from spreading.
Inc loss IS estimated at ABOUT SboOo on the
building, 5000 on the stock and $1,000 on
the machinery. The firm is composed of
William T. and Volney S. Wood and en-
ployed a large number of men. The origin
of the fire is unknown, and only the loss on
the building is covered by insurance. The
fire made a brilliant spectacle, and while it
lasted the flames illuminated that section
of the city in a brilliant manner. The fire.
men attacked the fire from the front and
lear, and at times the ladders upon which
they stood were quite enveloped in flames
and clouds of smoke. and it was extremely
fortunate that no casualties resulted. It
was more than an hour from the time the
fire started before it was subdued.

A New Milk Depot.

The Boston Dairy Co. are looking for
a place here to locate cream separa-
ting factory. Part of the time they are
unable to ship all the milk contracted
for to Boston before it sours. By sep
arating the cream here, they can send
the cream to Boston in cold storage
cans and find ready market. Some
days there is little demand for milk,
while on Saturdays and Sundays there
is great call for cream. Especially is
this so during July and August, the
worst months for shipping milk. The
company is undecided whether they
will use deep setting cans or a separator
in the factory, and have not yet deter
mined on location. TruaX q Will
liams' loft on the island has been under
consideration, and the factory will
probably be located there.

All riders of bicycles should remem-
Der these universal American road
rules: Pass team to the right if going
in opposite directions; on the left if go
ing in the same direction. You have a
right to onehalf the road, but remem-
Der it is the right half; and do not be
hoggish in your rights if you have a
good side-path and do not need all the
room. If drivers of teams try to run
you into the ditch, enter complaint to
any justice of the peace and youl
wrongs will be righted. In overtaking
team it is well to ring your bell that
the driver may be prepared to check
any gymnastic eXcentricities on the
part of the horse. Always strike YOU
bell when going around sharp curve
or when going from one street to an
other at right angles, giving warning
to teams or other bicycles. Observe
these rules and such others as common
sense will suggest and the liability o.
accidents will be greatly lessened.

A Contested Will,

A small-sized controversy over the
probating of will was heard in Judge
l.. M. Reads office last Saturday. Ad-
aline E. Arthur of Grafton died four or
six weeks ago leaving an estate of
$4,000. A mother, two sisters, and two
brothers survive her. She made a will
leaving the use of the estate to the sis
tiers for life, and at their decease one
half the estate to the children of the
brothers and the other half to the chill
dren of the sisters. The two brothers,
Henry and Andrew Blodgett, con-
tested the will on the ground that the
testator was of unsound mind and was
unduly Influenced. The executor was
represented by Lewis S. Walker of
Grafton, and the contestants by George
l.. Fletcher of Chester. Judge Read
decided that the testator was compe-
tent to make will at the time of it's
execution, and ordered the will pro-
bated. :
