AUGUSTA LOCALS.
SUNDAYS FIRE.
C. B. Murphy's Drug Store the Scene
Damage Mostly by Smoke.
incidentally Two Accommodation Teams Are
Smashed by Hose Cart.

At LAO p. NJ, Sunday. a man passing
in the interior and called Wallace +.
Percival, Mr. Murphys clerk, who has
tened to the store, and, turning on the Tn
derwriters' extinguisher, recently placed
in the store, eXtinguished the blaze.
The damage will be wholly by smoke to
the stock. small quantity of which is
sufficient to do heavy damage to
stock of drugs. medicines and articles
carried in a drug store.
The fire was the result of insect pow
der in pan on an oil stove igniting
from the flame. Mr.. Murphy, before
going home TO dinner, placed a quaint
ty of the powder on an oil stove. to kill
off the flies. 1t is probable that the
heated dust ignited from the stove.
Mr. Percivals prompt action un-
doubtedly save a loss of several thou
sand dollars. Mr.. Murphy's insurance
is in c. S. Downing's agency.
The most serious part of the whole
affair was enacted on Water street.
during the rush to the fire. Atlantic
Hose team, No. ?, was coming across
the bridge at breakneck speed, and, as
the driver opened into Water street, he,
| thinking the fire was to the south,
swung his horse that way. The effect
foT h. iaa1 m
| lided with the accommodation teams
| of John Blanchard and Charles Mars
ton, badly smashing the hind wheels Of
| Blanchard's carriage and wrecking
| Marston's carriage. The hose team
and Marston's carriage were so firmly
wedged together that Is minutes work
was necessary to separate them. The
near hind wheel of the hose carriage
was also badly wrecked Not the least
! blame is attached to the hose team
driver, for he understood that the fire
was south of Bridge street. He
was making excellent time to the fire
and the accident was simply one of
those unfortunate things that is liable
to happen to any man in the conscien-
tious discharge of his duty
Neither Mr.. Marston or Mr.. Blanch-
ard were injured, and the damage was
confined entirely to the carriages.
In connection with this affair, il
should be again called to the attention
of the public that Atlantic Hose, No. 2,
should have q proper hose carriage.
City Marshal Morse, who has so val
liantly fought fires in Augusta for
many years, says that the present cart
| though secured on his recommendation
is and always has been inadequate 10
the wants of that station. 1t is not a
convenient vehicle to handle and, had
proper carriage been in use, the
accident would not have happened
The saving in one fire might be a prof
liable investment to the city in mod
ern hose cart
Alex. McCausland had the old reliable
Cushnoc Hose, No. l, down on Water
street in a iiffy and had hose enough
laid to drown a conllagration, but it was
not needed All the boys turned out
, promptly, and had their services been
needed. they would have rendered
every assistance.

Thu STEAMER SCHEDULE.
Lines from Portland to England
and Germany.
FOUR BOATS WILL COME AND GO
EACH WEEK.

The Hamburg American Packet Go. VIII
Run a Monthly Boat-Improvements In
the Grand Trunk Yard-Portland to be
Busy this Winter.
At the Grand Trunk there is great
hustle of preparation for the steamer sea-
son, which is to be the busiest on record
here Agent Smith has received definite
information that the Hamburg Ameri-
can Packet Company is to run month
ly boat between this port and Hamburg,
Germany. This means that through the
winter an average of four boats week
will arrive at and leave this port. The
boats and ports will be as follows:
Three boats fortnight for Liverpool,
(Allan and Dominion); weekly London
boat, (Thompson line); fortnightly
Glasgow boat, (Allan line); fortnightly
Bristol line, Glider empsterl; and a
monthly boat for Hamburg, Germany,
1.-THE Hamburg American Packet Coz
The Bristol boats will be larger than
ever before.
1t will require about 100000 bushels OF
grain a week to supply these boats.
To handle this great traffic the Grand
Trunk are fastening the improvements
on their land. These improvements are
all in the line of greater convenience and
facilities in handling the grain, and the
equally large quantities OF freight that
come here in return. There is to be in
the first place new main line track in
dependent of the shunting tracks. Thus
the shunting engines will not have to use
| this new main track. There is to be
around below the Eastern Promenade q
new side track capable of holding loo
cars; also another siding on the Deerine
side of the bridge capable of holding
100 cars. Moreover, there will be double
track running out to the stock yards and
a little beyond, SO that the handing OF
stock between the yard and the boats
may not be interfered with by the regular
traffic on the man line. An arrangement
is being put in whereby the cars that
take the freight from the steamer sheds
without crossing the tracks that carry
the grain cars to the elevator.
All these improvements are teine
pressed forward; but they will hardly be
done before the steamer season begins.
The officials of the road here believe
that the Grand Trunk will do constant
ly increasing business here, and that this
will be one of the busiest shipping ports
on the coast.
