BERLIN MILLS co.
Loses Its Large Saw Mill at
Berlin, N. H., by Fire.
Caused by Hot Box--Loss About
100000 fully Insured.
Rest Of Plant Saved-1he Company Will al
Once Rebuild.

Portland, July 1.-THE Berlin Mills
Conpany's saw mill at Berlin, N. H.,
was burned. early this morning. The fire
caught from hot box, and was con-
fined entirely to the mill, which was in
sured. This mill was built in 1852 by
the late John Il. Brown. Josiah S. Lit
tie and Hezikiah Winslow. The mill
will be rebuilt at once.
The plant of the Berlin Mills Co.
stretches for about three-quarters of
mile along both banks of the Andros-
coggin river at Berlin. The big frame
water power saw and grist mill and
| grain storehOuse buildings, including
| bulkheads and fumes, is at the head of
| the plant.
Next below the saw mill. about $50
| feet south, side by side. come the frame
water power planning mill building and
the clapboard planning mill building,
the latter about 20 feet away from the
| planning mill. These two mills were
! each some $50 feet long.
Below these buildings, for a long dis
lance, stretch the sheds and store
houses, until one comes to the big pulr
and paper mills. On the opposite side
of the river, running parallel, are the
extensive lumber yards.
| The saw planning and clapboard mills
were provided with the most modern
and expensive machinery, water Wheels
saws and force pumps, automatic
sprinklers, alarm and electric light
| dynamos, lights and tools, besides a
great quantity of long and short lum-
Der and grain and feed
! The saw mill and contents was en-
| tirely destroyed. The people worked
with a will. The steam fire engine
owned by the company did first rate
service, the automatic sprinkIers helped
materially. SO that the rest of the great
plant and the big lumber yards
together with the extensive plants OF
the business corporations in the village
and the town itself We're saved from
destruction.
The fire broke out in the basement OF
the saw mill near the lathe machine
and when the trap door leading into
the basement near this machine was
Il opend perfect sheet of fire drove the
men back.
II The insurance on the proerty was eX-
actly 100000. This amount is divided
in sums ranging from $1,000 to $4,000
and in a great many companies. the
| principal being the London and Ian

Globe, the Lancaster. North British and

National of Hartford, the New Hamp-
shire, Etna. Globe of New York. Manu-

Phoenix of Hartford, Pennsylvania
Royal. Caledonia, Orient, Underwriters
German of Pittsburg.
The companies will adjust the loss at
| once, and Mr.. Brown will begin re-
building the mills, tomorrow, after
clearing off the debris. The loss on the
property burned is said by Mr.. Brown
to be about 100000.

Alf Easley Had Twenty Thieves in His En-
plOy.

Knoxville, May 14,-Sheriff Groner
and his deputies tonight arrested a wo-
man and seven men charged with burg
larry and concealing stolen goods, which
unearthed the greatest sensation this
city has known for months.
For years past robberies have oc-
Cured in and around this city, and
thousands of dollars worth of goods and
jewelry were never recovered.
Alf Easley and his wife, colored, are
the principals arrested. They own a
three-story brick house, wherein more
than $40, 900 worth of jewelry and goods
were recovered tonight by the officers.
They had twenty men on salary paid to
steal for them. Fifty-fve gold watches
were found in one sack. When the Off
GERS entered Easley showed fight, and
when overpowered three fine pistols
were taken off his person.
The officers caught on by arresting
one of the thieves, who squealed.

DURANT ASKS PARDON.
Russian Sailor, in California Pier, Makes Il
Very ImpOrtent Statement

San Francisco, Cal, May 15.-Theo-
dore Durant, through his attorney,
will ask Governor Budd today to par
don him on the ground that the real
murderer of Blanche Lamont has at
last confessed his crime. The lawyers
declare that they have not been hoaxed
nor is it their purpose to impose upon
the executive. They insist that in the
person of John Rosenberg, a convict at
San Quentin prison, they have discov-
cred the man who is guilty of the hor-
rors of the Emanuel church. John Ro-
senberg has made q sworn confession
before a notary public and in the pres
ence of several witnesses that he killed
Blanche Lamont at instigation of a
stranger and in consideration of the
payment of $500 for his bloody work.
It is with this sensation that the at
torneys will strengthen their case at
Sacramento today. The story and its
details is one Of the most remarkable
that has developed in the long case.
Rosenberg is Russian sailor and ar
rived in this city on sailing vessel
from Hamburg, Germany, during the
last week of March, 1895. He is now
serving term for horse stealing and
appears to be sane.
If external appearances go for any
thing, Gov. Budd was not favorably
impressed by the arguments advanced
by attorneys in their plea for executive
clemency in behalf of Durant, the con-
demned murderer of Blanche Lamont.
1t was argued that Durant's trial had
not been fair, that public sentiment had
been aroused against him and that the
newspapers had so prejudiced Durant's
case that had any juror voted notguilty
he would have been mobbed.
Absolutely no credence was appar.
emily placed by any one, unless by the
prisoners attorneys upon the alleged
confession of convict John Rosenberg,
who declared that he had murdered
Blanche Lamont for 800 at the instiga
tion of a stranger.
Rosenberg was committed to Sar
Quentin prison ten days after Durant
arrived there.

Smoke For Cut Fingers.

The smoke of woolen rags is cure
for the most dangerous wounds. A
lady ran a machine needle through her
finger. She could not be released until
the machine had been taken to pieces,
and it was found the needle had been
broken into three pieces in the flesh
The process of extraction was most
difficult, the pain reaching the shoulder,
and danger of lockjaw was feared
Woolen rags were put on burning Goals,
and, by holding the finger in the smoke,
all pain was driven away and never re-
turned, though the finger took to heal.
The smoke and smell of the burning
rags may be unpleasant, but that is a
slight drawback compared with the
danger of loekiaw, or great pain and
consequent fever. Another instance
was the cure of a wound inflicted by an
enraged cat, which tore the flesh from
the wrist to the elbow and bit through
the heshy part Of the hand One min.
istration of the smoke extracted all
pain, which had been fiightful -Sar

0fiicehOlders' Opposition.

1t has been said that the officeholders
f.the State would oppose the movement
for a Constitutional Convention, but
is this not too sweeping an assertion?
1t is natural that those who are in office
should prefer to not see a change made
that may disturb their tenure, but if
there are, as claimed, abuses in our or
ganic law which necessitates burden
some and unnecessary taxation, and the
people wish to change it, can it be said
that the offieeholders are so devoid Of
patriotism and good citizenship as to
undertake to defeat such an effort,
simply for their own selfish ends? If
this, is the result of our present system
the sooner we change it and get rid of
this class the better. We know some
officials who are guided by less selfish
motives and we believe many such will
be found. We would dislike to see
such disturbed. The people should be
free from such selfish influences when
they wish to act
With Georgia's judicial system cost
| ing her less than one half of ours she
can afford to offer inducements to manu-
featuring industries to locate within
her borders without increasing the bur-
den of taxes on her people. Factories
make consumers for raw products,
give employment to labor, and keep
money circulating among the people.
Poor old Tennessee must plod along
under constitution that does not per-
NIT her todo this and yet requires her
to keep up an expensive system which
keeps the tax rate up.
Is it not q sad commentary on our
system of government that whenever an
attempt is made to enact laws which af-
feet those who fill the public offices
these officials as a class come forward
and organize to defeat the measure.
What rights have they as against the
public good? They are but servants
of the PEOPLE and what right have such
servants to control or hamper their
masters. The effrontery of such efforts
should meet with prompt resentment
and rebuke on the part of the people.
Fortunately there are exceptions to
this rule and public officials to be found
who appreciate their positions and
cheerfully yield their own personal in
terests to the public good. 1t is to be
regretted that public necessity should
disturb such men in the public service,
but they will surely be remembered
when there are offices to fiIl.-Nash-
vile Sun.

Among the latest inventions is time

Among the latest inventions is time
lock for tobacco boxes. The object of
the inventor, Grant W. Smith of O'Neill,
Neb, has been to construct a tobacco
box which will enable inordinate chew
ers or smokers to limit the use of to-
bacco by causing them to wait the lapse
of predetermined interval of time be-
fore they can take fresh chew or fill
their pipe. By a simple device the
clock that regulates the block can be
made to increase these intervals of time
until the smokers yearning for his
weed has at last been trained down to
the vanishing point.
