FIRE ALARMS
During the Night at Both Hail.
DWELL and Gardiner.
Corner Grocery Badly Damaged by
Fire and Water at HaIIoweII.
Evans House, Gardiner. Badly Net Down ioI
a Fire in The Attic.

Hallowell Aug 29--(SpeciaD, Fire
was discovered, at about IL 10 tonight in
the Corner market, run by Cottle, Willis
* Sheehan. The blaze seemed to have
started in the crockery department on the
second floor and was getting under way
in good shape, when discovered by Night
Officer Quinn.
An alarm was sounded and the fire de-
partinent was promptly on the scene. The
steamer boys soon had two streams OF
water on, and the Tiger was pumping for
all she was worth through one line OF
hose so that in short time after their
arrival the fire was under control
The damage will be mostly by water
though e7erytning is badly smoked, aud
of curse the fire itself did considerable
damage.
The loss, which will be quite heavy
but which cannot be estimated
till the firm has a chance to look over the
stock, is fully covered by insurance.
The building is owned by Knight &
Sanborn, and occupied on the first floor
by the Corner market, on the second floor
by the same firm, with the Crib club in
the front room, and on the the third by
the G. A. r, which has several rooms.
The fire was principally in the rear,
under and about the stairs leading to the
third story These stairs were badly
burned and the fire also worked up
through the partitions in all directions to
a considerable extent
The Grand Army rooms were badly
l. % L.,
by the firemen. The Crib Club rooms
were wet down and smoked.
"All out was sounded soon after mid
night An electric car was delayed till
that hour by the hose across the track.

THEIR FIRST GARMENTS.
Natives of the New Hebrides and Euro
peau Clothes.
From the Missionary Herald.

From the Missionary Herald.
An incident related by Mrs. Patton,
the wife of Dr.. J, G. Payton the well
know missionary to tho New He
brides, illustrates the entire absOrp-
ton of her husband. the missi, as the
natives call him, in the great purpose
he had in view, so that he entirely
overlooked the cOmicality Of the scene
which so impressed; his good wife.
Here ia Mrs. Paton's story: The
trial to my risibles | found il hard to
bear was that which befell me es-
pecially on Sabbaths The first OF
these days in particular presented
ludicrous scene in the way of dress,
and it was only by a most desperate
effort that l could manage to keep
long face while watching the natives
coming into the church. We had ar
rived on Tuesday; number OF gar
ments had been distributed among the
people, and from twenty to thirty
turned out TO worship. One man.
remember came prancing in, looking
so delighted with himself in a snow
white vest-absolutely nothing else.
Another came stalking majestically
with a woman's skirt pinned round has
throat and the tips of his fingers ap-
pearing at the bottom of It. A third
had a native bag done UP so as TO rep
resent a hat, which he took off with
quite the air of d gentleman as he en-
tered the door One man had nice
little jacket had presented to his wife;
and, indeed every enc who wore any
clothing at all did so in the absurdest
fashion. The effort at self-control was
fast becoming uncomfortable when the
worthy missi unintentionaly proved
the last straw His face was a pic
ture Of adoring thankfulness, and his
prophetic soul-unconscions Of any
thing grotesque-adw them already on
the way to glory. He whispered, Oh,
Maggie, shouldn't we be grateful TO
God to see them all coming out Of
church so nicely dressed He was
adding something about Jewels and
trophies but | was already half way
out of the church under cover of g con
venient fit of violent coughing, and
just managed to slip round a corner
before going into prolonged. convul-
sions. Pray forgive me; | loved them
none the less: but that phrase-so
nicely dressed-was rather more than
my woman's soul could withstand.

Two young colcred men, both Of whom, it
was claimed, had discarded their female
friends, were in Judge Miler's court yes
terday on charges of assault One of them
was James Norris against whom complaint
was made by Lizzie White. The young
woman told the judge that James had been
ner particular friend and they were engaged
to be married. but that he had lately
changed his mind. She told the judge that
she was sick several days ago and that
medicine given her by James made her
worse. She sent for physician and when
she took his medicine she became uncon-
scious.
The charge against Morris was dismissed
and he was released.
Walter Holmes was the other defendant
out he did not fare so well. Laura Bullock
complained against him. Her story was
similar to that told by the other woman
with the exception of the medicine. She
said she went to see him to arrange matters
and got kicked out of the house.
Judge Miller said he could not countenanct
any such conduct and sent Walter to jail
fer six months.

1t is claimed, she removed the piano, the
prosecution claiming that the young wo-
man obtained possession of the piano for
the sole purpose of unlawfully transferring
1t to herself.
Mr.. T. l.. Jones, counsel for the woman,
moved at the conclusion of the testimony
introduced by the prose cution, that a ver-
dict of not guilty be directed by the court
on the ground that the title to the piano,
because of the part payment for it by her,
was in her, but Judge Cole overruled the
motion.
The young woman testified that she pur-
chased the piano in gooi faith, with no in.
tention to misappropriate it. Several per.
sons testified as to her previous good repu.
tatfon, when the trial was adjourned until
Monday next.
