NOTES HERE AND THERE.
No Serious Accidents-9. C. Taylor to
RebuiId-The Wire Danger.

r. C. Taylor was on the scene at an
early hour in the morning, and ordered
the proprietors Of the Star lunch room
to serve breakfast to the firemen at his
expense. Those who could, came for
their food, and others had 1t carried TO
them. Over 20 gallons of coffee was
served with the food.
Hose 4 was the last company to leave
the ruins, being detailed until all posi-
BILE danger from the fire breaking out
again was passed.
The company was just limbering up,
about O'Clock, preparatory to going to
their quarters, when the alarm from box
5 came in.
The big fire was remarkably free from
sccident. Up to Friday night, but two
cases had been reported, and those but
slight injuries. w. H. Guertin Of the
fire patrol has small cut on his face,
caused by falling glass Police Officer
Dunn was also cut about the face by
falling glass. Both men are on duty.
Eighteen wires lead from the pole di-
rectly in front of the opera house build
ing, all of which either enter this build
ing or the adjacent stores
Had Mrs. Offner been obliged to jump
into the life net she would have expert
| enced considerable difficulty in avoid
| ing the wires, and at unaC moment When
! it seemed as though she must be driven
from her perilous position, the strongest
possible argument for placing the cleo
| trio wires under ground was offered
| Considerable talk was INDUCED in about
town on this matter Friday, and the
feeling. not only among the firemen but
the people in general, is that the sooner
| these conductors are placed under
ground the better it viii be for every
one.
| A big staging to act as a prop for the
rear wall of the theatre building was
erected during the day, to prevent the
walls from falling.
1t was thought at one time that the
Walker building was doomed, but the
firemen fought the flames from the top
Of that building, and confined them to
the theatre.
During the afternoon, Mr.. Offner and
f. C. Taylor had a. conference regard
ing plans for the future and Mr.. Tay-
Tor said he intended to begin the work
CT rebuilding the theatre right away He
asked Mr.. Offner and Mr.. Batcheller to
meet him during the day to talk over
plans, and said he proposed to put UP a
theatre that would be a credit to the
city. He expects to have the building
ready fer occupancy in three or four
months

OTHER LOSSES.
With Statement Of the Insurance on
Building and Other Properly.

With a Statement Of the Insurance on
Building and Other Property.
The Bijou theatre however, is not the
only loser by the fire. Indeed, the loss
sustained by George H. Batcheller, the
lessee, is small compared to that of the
merchants in, the adjoining property.
The theatre, as is we'll known, is owned
by r. G. Taylor, and is leased by Mr..
Batcheller. Mr.. Offner, as manager of
the house, is Mr. Bachelors agent.
Mr.. Taylor figures his loss on the building
at about $25, 900. The stock of George E.
Fairbanks drug store is soaked with
water, and the same is true of the stock
in the shoe store of ]. K. Brown. Felix
]. Charbonneau is heavy loser by
water, and so is f. w. Woolworth &
Co., in the Horticultural hall building.
The Harrington block on the corner is
damaged about $500, and the stock in
the tobacco store of the M. e. Shattuck
Company is badly damaged by water.
w A. Lyle & Co.'S stock was some
what damaged by water, and the rear
part of the store Of Bemis & Co., shoe
dealers, also suffered in this respect.
George L. Barr, the trunk manufacture
er, estimates that his loss by water will
be about $500. The smaller losses are all
covered by insurance.
The entire insurance on the building
was placed through the agency of Tat
man & Park, as follows: $500 each in
the Granite State, Western, Magde-
burg, Svea, American, st. Paul, Brit
ish-American, Orient, Liverpool, Lon
don and Globe, Scottish Union and Ma
tional, Niagara and Prussian National,
making a total of $4,000.
The Insurance on the stock and fix
lures of ]. X. Brown, dealer in boots
and shoes, was $19,750, divided az fol-

COMFORTABLY SETTLED.
Mr.. and Mrs. offner at the House of a
Friend-The Latter Talks of Her Peril.

The friends of Mr.. Offner came to his
assistance in royal shape, and this
seemed to help him to keep up his cour-
age in his misfortune. Many offers of
clothes and shelter were made, but he
and Mrs. Offner accepted the invitation
of William j. Larkin of the Spy and his
wife to make their home with them at
Silver street until their plans for the
future We're settled, and they will live
there for the present Mrs. Offner being
taken there shortly after noon from the
Bay State House.
When she became calm enough to tell
her story, Mrs. Offner spoke of her SEN
sation during her trying ordeal. She
says she never lost her head once. and
as for thinking of her past life and her
future. she was too full of present diff
culties to give them any consideration.
When asked how she managed to get
around the projections in the front of
the theatre, she said she had not the
faintest idea, but she remembers that
at the time ii was as easy as could be-
The fresh air that filled her lungs as
soon as she got out ON to the ledge
seemed to give her new life and
strength, but she feels sure that if she
were in the room another minute, she
would have fallen to the floor suffocated
She remembers that in getting around
one of the projections, she felt along
with the fingers of her left hand, and
then pulled herself around after she
grabbed something with her finger tips.
When she first came out on the ledge,
she felt like jumping, but only for an
instant She realized that a jump into
the street meant almost certain DEATH
and she made up her mind to hang on
just as long as she could
When she got to the end of the cor
nice and she heard the shouts of the
crowd telling her to jump and then not
to jump, she watched to see where they
came from, and when she saw 1t was the
firemen who were telling her not to
jump, she determined to hang on. Once
however, when a big tongue of flame
came uncomfortabiy close to her she
looked down into the life net and began
to figure how she could get between the
electric wires. She had this all figured
out, and then she began to wonder
whether she should jump or dive head
| first when the ladder came up and she
was brought down. Although she was
clad only in her night dress she says
she did not feel the cold at all until she

did not carry any insurance, he figures
that the fire cost him at least $500.
THE ONLY VICTIM.
The offners Mourn the Loss of Snow
Flake, Their Pet Dog.

The Offners Mourn the Loss of Snow
Flake, Their Pet Dog.
What Mr.. and Mrs. Offner grieve for
most is the loss of their little dog,
snowflake It was aptly named, and
used to attract a great deal Of atten-
ton when it was on the street with
either its master or it's mistress, on ac-
count of it's snow-white hair and it's
bright and intelligent appearance Mr..
and Mrs. Offner had raised it from a
two weeks old puppy, and thought al
most as much OF it as if it were a child.
1t knew everything that either of them
said to it. AMI had many pretty tricks
which used to amuse the friends of the
manager and his wife. 1t was q reg
ular thing for Mr.. Offner to take the
little thing out every evening after the
show, for a walk, and a call was al
ways made at Easton's, where an egg
chocolate soda was fixed for Mr.. Off
ner and the little dog. the latter seeming
to enjoy the drink just as much as her
master. She was sleeping at the foot
of the bed when Mr.. and Mrs. Offner
got UP, but they are of the opinion that
she became frightened by the strange
noises, and hid under something and
was afraid to come out when called

Mr.. Curtis death was due to acute
Hodgkins' disease, a malady of which lit
tic is known, but which is an enlarge
ment OF the Emphatic glands of the

June 2, 1876, and came to Auburn when
ten years Of age. After graduation ne
entered the employ of his uncle, Albert
Curtis, at New Worcester, with the idea
OF acquiring a thorough knowledge of
the manufacturing business. His man
ly bearing, his pure and upright life and
pleasant disposition, made friends
among ell with whom he came in con-
tact. Mr.. Curtis, with seven other
young people, including his two sisters
and brother, united with the Auburn
Congregat ional Church at the beginning
of the year. He was president of the
Christian Endeavor Society, Of which
he had long been an active and useful
member By his death loss is sus-
tanned which viii be long and deeply
felt. He leaves, besides his parents
two sisters, Miss Anna, who is teacher
in Grafton, and Miss Edith, who is at
home, and one brother, William, also al
home Most sincere sympathy is felt
for the bereaved family, and for the
young lady to whom he was engaged.
Funeral services will be held at his
late home on Pakachoag hill, Saturday
