TWO FIRES At BANGOR.
Firemen Kept Busy by Biazes on Franklin and
Exchange Street.

Bangor, Me-, Nov. 15.--Two fires kept
Bangor firemen busy for a while, to-
night. The first alarm came in at 81
for fire in the wood and iron build
ing in Franklin street owned by F. w
Hill and occupied ON the ground floor
by G. w. Smith, as a creamery, on
the second floor by c. Q. Varney 4
Sons. laundrymen, and on the third
floor by the Salvation Army barracks
The fire started about the boiler in the
laundry and spread rapidly to the
third floor.
The loss to the laundry cannot be
stated. tonight, but will be considera-
bic. Varney & Sons have an insur-
ance of $1,000. Over 5000 worth of linen
belonging to customers was destroyed
ana machinery was considerably dam
aged. The furnishings of the Saliva
ton Army were damaged to the ex-
tent of $500; no insurance. The dam
age to the creamery is not known, Mr..
Smith being out of town. It is mostly
by water and thought to be insured.
The building is valued at $4,000 and
considerably damaged on the two top
floors, but Mr.. Hill thinks that his loss
is covered by the insurance of $500.
The second fire was at 1907 and was
for wooden building on Exchange
street owned by the Mcclure Bros
and DR.. C. A. Gibson. and occupied by
Gus Perro as a saloon and lodging
house, and by John Mcclure as a sa-
loon. The damage here was mostly
by water and is fully covered by IN

AT 1880 the election of officers was
taken up. 1t was announced that 81
officers and delegates were entitled t.
vote. Mrs. Bessie Laythe Scovel OF
Minnesota, presided during the elec-
ton. Before the balloting began ar
Illinois delegate created something OF
sensation by asking that "some one
tell US the personal, religious convic,
ton and sectarian connections OF
Mrs. Stevens" There was no answer
save in buzz of dissent to the injec-
ton of such a query at such a time.
For President 1856 votes were cast
blank ballots. 2. Miss Anna Shaw, l;
Mrs. S. NJ. D. Fry, l; Miss Helen Hood

Mrs. Stevens made very touching
speech of acceptance, urging all to
join in carrying on the work to which
Miss Willard, the beloved leader had
given her life. The Maine delegation
presented her with beautiful cluster
of roses.
Mrs. Stevens then stated that she
vented to nominate Miss Anna A.
Gordon, who had been Miss Willard's
private secretary, and is probably one
of the most beloved of the Union lead
ers, to be vice president at large.
The bylaws We're then amended to
give the president the authority to
make such nomination and the cleo
ton was by rising unanimous vote.
Mrs. S. NJ. D. Frye of Minnesota, was
elected corresponding secretary, and
Mrs. H. M. Barker treasurer.

who originated the temperance medal
contests. The banner for the greatest
number of contests was awarded to
Oklahoma. Several other reports were
presented.
The banner contest among the min
ing states having been decided in favor
of Pennsylvania, the banner was for
mally awarded to that state. The
Temple resolution, introduced by Mrs.
M. H. Durham. was then called UP
and was defeated by standing vote
rs to 2S7.
Mrs. Ellis of New Jersey, moved that
the trust funds in the hands of Miss
Cornelia Dow of Maine, be applied, If
the donors agreed, to the relief of the
Temple bondholders so far as it would
apply, being paid to them proportion
ally. This resolution was referred to
the executive committee.
