Rockland Fire was Incendiary.

Rockland, August 3.-The fire which
occurred in this city this morning was
the largest in several. years. The Pills
bury Kiln shed, the Snow Kiln shed and
the trestle work of the Lime Rock Rail
road were burned. The heat was SO in
tense that it was almost impossible for
the f1renen to work, but by energetic
means they finally brought the fire under
control. 1t is estimated that the total
damage will reach 1000.
The Snow kilns, owned by the Cobb
lime company, We're almost totally de-
stroyed, together with 10000 casks of
lime, the damage being estimated at
$4,000, and were insured by Bird & Birney
for $4,000.
The Pillsbury loss is estimated at 81, 900
with very little insurance.
At the present time it is impossible to
estimate the damage on trestle work, but
it will reach several thousand dollars
The cause Of the fire is mystery but
it is supposed to have been incendiary.

to party in New Jersey. The fish was
taken by S. R. Morse of Atlantic CITY.

to the express agentat this place for ship
ment The agent, Mr.. Mills. sent word
back that if Mr.. Tilnberlake had permits
sion from the governor or fish commits
sioner, he would ship it. Thereupon the
bank examiner came up to see what the
trouble was. Mr.. Miller told him that
he ought to know what the law was in
regard to shipping fish out of the state
and Mr.. Timberlase went to Phillips
from where the fish was shipped
1t is said that the commissioners could
not grant him the right to send it, but
said, "if the fish was ours, we should
send it,"

Are These Portland's Film F1ammer.9

Bangor, August ga clever film fam
game was worked on j. T. Roberts a boot
and shoe dealer in Dover on Monday
night. Fortunately it did not work SO well
for the perpetrators in the end.
Three men from Bangor struck town
on the Monday evening train and pro-
ceeded up street, one behind the other.
One named ~. G. Adams went into
Mr.. Roberts store and asked for a $50
bill in exchange for some silver. He
counted out $40 and put the bill in an
envelope and placed it in his pocket. Mr..
Roberts found the silver 81 short and
spoke about it to Adams The latter said
he had some more money at the Exchange
and would willingly hasten after it. He
threw the envelope upon the counter.
When he had gone Mr.. Roberts found the
envelope was empty. He Immediately

and they were locked up to await hearing

sharkey and Connolly Matched.

New York, August 3.-"Dan" Lynch,
representing atom" Sharkey and
q Buck Connolly on behalf of Peter
Maher, met Al Smith, the stakeholder, at
the Police Gazette office this afternoon
and made the second deposit of $500 of
the SIC, 900 forfeit for 9 fight between the
pugilists,
stZick'' Abrams, of the Knickerbocker
Athletic club of San Francisco, tele-
graphed an offer of $40, 900 for the fight to
be pulled off in San Francisco. An
answer was returned saying that the offer
would be accepted If the conditions of the
articles were satisfactory. In the message
the club expresses the desire for October
~ as the day of the fight, but Connolly
wants the time extended two weeks as he
is anxious for Maher to train at least
eight weeks before the fight. Maher is in
Ireland at present and may not be back
in this country for two or three weeks
Connolly insists on the Knickerbocker
club putting up a substantial guarantee
before the articles are signed, and said he
also demanded that every dollar of the
purse be in the hands of the referee when
the men stepped into the ring. There was
some talk of referee but no decision was
reached. Connolly says he will have only
an eastern man. Some of the sporting
men think that Sam Austin is the one
most likely to be selected. a1I1sf'e i

UFAH'S GlLsoNlTE.
An Investigation for the Navy Depart.
ment.

Denver. Col, August 3.-George E.
Eldridge is on his way to the gilsonite
lands of Utah to investigate for the navy
department.. If his report issfavorable it
will mean that Uncle Sam will float a
navy that will hold the seas for years
without docking, and will therefore be
the most menacing in the world. Expert
lnents with mineral substance from the
mineral lands of Utah lead thenavy de-
partment to believe that if the bottom of
ship is coated with it it will withstand
the attack of submarine animals that
bore into the steel andsssswhich costs the
nation millions of dollars.
Not only this but it is impossible for
fungi to gather on the bottom of ships,
fouling them, and will render docking
unnecessary, except in the event of an ac
cident.
Elbridge has been to the the Indian
reservation to make an Investigation as to
the extent of the deposits, and If the
quality of the material is what experts
have claimed for it the American navy
will be coated with substance that will
permit it to hold the seas for an indefinite
period of time.

ing squadron on its way to Bar Harbor.
Today the squadron run from Hunting

"a miles which was made in a spanking
breeze.
All night long light breeze came from
the east off the ocean and brought thick
bank of down east fog By the time the
sun had risen the wind died away but the
fog remained.
The start from Huntington was sched-
uled at 1920 a. M, but it was high noon
before the breeze had developed sufficient
ly to warrant start, but by the time the
squadron was fairly under way the
yachtsmen had breeze which sent their
white winged boats ploughing through
the waves in racing style.

PULLED UP BY HIS KITE.
A Camden Man Dangling at the End of
Half Mile of Rope.
(From the Philadelphia Record. J

(From the Philadelphia Record.)
When Walter P. Skinner built big
kite in the basement of his residence, 512
North Ninth street, Camden, he got it
too big for comfort. 1t was such a gil
ant, indeed, that he found it impossible
to get it out of any of the windows or
doors, no matter how he tried. That was
discouraging, for Skinner had lively
anticipation of the amazement his kite
would create when 1t went soaring into
the skies. Undaunted by this setback.
Skinner set to work and cut two feet off
the width and as much off its length.
Even then the monster was seven feet
wide and ten feet high.
skinner selected Tuesday night for a.
test of his huge kite, and it came near
taking him off on voyage through
space. With half mile of good strong
rope tied to it, the kite was carried to
open lots between Penn and Pearl streets
opposite SINNERS residence. News of
the anticipated exhibition spread through
the vicinity, and a crowd of perhaps 400
persons gathered to see the kite 20 m
They saw a great deal more than they ex-

man, friend, ran across the lot with
the rope to give the monster start. A
good, fresh breeze was blowing, and soon
the kite began to rise, slowly at first, and
good deal like man under the influ-
ence OF the ardent. 1t was as much as
the two men could do to hold the rome.
There came lull in the wind, however,
and 1T rose more slowly and gracefully.
The crowd applauded as the big object
took more and more of the rope and rose
At length all the rope was paid out, and
the kite was riding, with scarcely q
tremor, high in the heavens

took the rope alone. In moment the
amazed Skinner realized what was hap

STRIKERS WERE DESPERATE.
Attempt Made to Blow an ApsIey Tene
ment in Hudson.

/, Hudson, Mass, August 3.-This COM
munity was greatly startled at 2 O'Clock
this morning by the sound of a heavy ex-
plosion, followed by an alarm of fire from

and it was soon learned that an attempt
had been made to blow up section OF
the tenement house owned by the rubber
company, in which several OF the work
men who are employed at the factory In
the place of the striking. helpEhave been
boarding.
The explosion, it Is thought, was caused
by dynamite, which had been placed I'M
der the piazza of tenement occupied by
Mrs. Clark The damage amounts to
several hundred dollars
It is the general opinion that the affair
was merely an attempt on the part of
some one to brighten tile worklnen who
have come here in opposition to the wish
es of the striking employees of the factory.
The tenement near which the explosiv
was placed, was occupied by women only
there being besides Mrs. Addie NJ Clark

others. All are employed at the Apsley
factory, which is directly across the street
from the tenement horise block There

at the time. Among them were several
who live at the other end of
the block from the scene of the explosion.
They are the ones who have excited the
greatest opposition from the strikers and
they claim that only la st night certain
persons formerly employed at the Apsley
factory, whose names have been given to
the officials, made threads against them.
On the other hand, the rank and file of
niZpd labor hero GREATLY acrif7a %
at the affair and claim that no one
