"Are you going to New York" When
you hear this question you can make UP
your mind that you are near the Armory.
New York is the central point of interest
among the members of the Guard. Al.
ready some of the out of town companies
are being heard from, and the prospects
look bright for a successful gathering
of the clans" week from next Sntur-
day.
1t is understood that some of the other
cities and towns are pooling in funds to
help send some of their men. Certainly
Portland will be we'll represented. The
number going from this city pay from
their own pockets enough to take care
Of the transportation, and it is hoped
that by subscription sufficient funds
will he raised to defray other expenses.
Already sum of money has been
pledged and if about $3.50 or 5000 more
can be realized from our citizens, all
other expenses Of the expedition will be
taken care of.
Arrangements will probably be made,
whereby those who wish can forward
contributions to this fund, to either of
the morning papers.

The building was badly damaged and
the loss on it will probably figure up to
about $500. last night Captain Davis
did not know just how much insurance
he was carrying. on the building, but he
stated that the amount was not large.
william Gallagher who occupied the
building valued his stock in the store at

$1,000, which is placed through the agen.
o. Of Thomas Donahue. On the furni-
ture in the house Mr.. Gallagher had
about $500, which will probably cover the
loss on the furniture. The stock in tie

prove an entire loss
