DEERING.

Mr.. Abel Fl. Strick land, who lives on
Florence street, Woodfords, at clock
yesterday morning discovered fire in
stable situated In the. rear of buildings
belonging to Mrs. FL. II. Harmon on the
corner Of Pleasant and Florence streets.
MIR. Strickland gave the alarm from box
81. A second alarm was rung Is minutes
after the first alarm and the entire depart
ment was called out. The Deering Centre
hose company arrived first on the scene
and Immediately put on two streams.
The fire was confined to the stable.
The fire was hot one while it lasted
and lighted up the sky In that vicinity.
The all out signal was sounded at 6
O'Clock. The framework of the stable was
saved but the building was badly dam
aged and is almost total loss. The fire
| is supposed to have been incendiary, as
the stable had not been occupied for some
time. When Mr.. Strickland arrived on
the scene he found one Of the windows of
the stable wide open as if some one had
just left. The fire is thought to have been
| set by tramps who were passing the
night there. The loss is about $500. The
building including the stable burned,
are insured for $4,000. A member Of Hose
company 1 named Marsh had his foot
quite badly cut accidentally by an axe in
use by some of his fellow tiremen during
the fire. After the fire was out the neigh
bors furnished a generous supply of hot
coffee for the flremen.
