The barber shop across the street
owned by John FouIkcS was destroyed.
Mr.. Lewis will not give any estimate
on the loss but some of the tOwnspco-
pie and employees of the mill set it as
high as $4,000 and 1000. The insur-
ance was for $4,000.
The remaining stock will be cut by
one or two machines which will be
set up, but the factory will not be re-
built much to the sorrow Of the people

is the fact that the Maine troops were so
well equipped. While there may be many
more companies that are fully as well
equipped as those that wore the Pine
Gone when they came into the park, there
are none that were equipped any better
That would be impossible
When our troops arrived here there was
not Il single man who was lacking III the
slightest detail in his equipments. This
WAS in distinct contrast to the manner
in which the other troops were equipped
but the fact remains that many of the
other states sent their troops with only
meager equipments. Their idea appar
entity, was to get the men off their hands
as quickly as possible. In order that the
expense to the state might be lessened.
our boys We're kept in camp at Augusta
until not a man was sent away without
full accoutrements. The fact is, not Il
single regiment arrived here better
equipped than those men under the com
mand of Colonel Kendall. Even Massa
chusetts sent some Of her men here no
more fit to go into a camp of this kind
than they were to go to Cuba and at once
begin the work of cxpellng the Spaniards.
Such work. the rushing Of the troops
into the camp but half equipped, has him
tlered the movement of the troops and
the work of the government more than
anything else. 1t is for this reason, it Is
thought, that the war department
wishes the Maine regiment to be recruit
ed up to the fun number, lot men to
company.
