II. b. Sawyer of Auburn, was a SOL
der in the Eighth Maine during the
war and saw much fighting, but he
says that he never saw anything more
desperate than loon fight at Lake
Auburn on Monday forenoon. He was
fishing at the lake and the fight opened
in his vicinity. 1t was evidently an old
grudge between the birds who fought
to kill Every time the birds came to-
gether each tried TO get in the knock
out blow, and as the fight progressed
they kept up the most hideous
screeches imaginable. Mr.. Sawyer
pulled in his fishing tackle and taking
UP his oars followed the pugilists
around the lake. They kept well in
shore and the fight extended over two
or three miles. The waits between
acts were long enough to give the
combatants ample time to recuperate
50 that every time they got together
it was with all the vigor of the first
round. In the last round one of the
birds was put to sleep" or if not that,
incapacitated for further action.
Whether the deciding blow was on
the chin or over it Mr. Sawyer doesn't
know, but the bird suddenly stopped
fighting and screeching and instantly
the other bird ceased hostilities and
disappeared from view, while the othes
bird remained on the surface. When
Mr.. Sawyer pulled away from the bat
tie ground the defeated loon was in a
dazed condition and was evidently try
ing to reason out where 1t was at.

of chrysanthemums with circles of cut
roses beautifully interlaced In the
centre of the piece the figure was
wrought in carnation pinks. A large
vase filed with fresh roses stood on
his Bible stand. A neatly inscribed
card told the pastor that these tokens
We're from ladies of the church. When
he announced the morning Offering DR..

LARGELY ATTENDED
BY Deluded Democrats Who
Do Not Own the Town.

Millbury, Nov. 6. "A very interesting
political rally was held in the st. Jean
Baptiste rooms on ELM street today,
and it is expected that the coming cleo
ton will be close in the number Of votes
cast for each candidate. For the past
few years, and in fact all during the
history of MiIlbury, the republicans
have been ruled by large majority,
but judging from all the political con-
ventions which have been held in Mill
bury for the past few days, the demo-
Gratis will come out victorious at the
polls next Tuesday.
AT the meeting today DR. Fountain of
worcester gave very interesting ad-
dress, and urged that the voters of Mill
bury use all their influence in voting for
all democrats on the ballots at the
coming election. AT the meeting this
afternoon, many of the democratic
town committee were present, and the
meeting was one of the most rousing
ever held in Millbury, Thomas H.
Sullivan, Esq, chairman of the demo-

of the meeting. ~.

incendary Fire Destroys House and Barn
at Fitchburg.

Fitchburg. Nov. 6-The house and
barn Of James j. Walch, at 1856 South
street, was nearly totally destroyed by
fire about a. M, today. The house
is located within the fire limits, but
about one mile from the central sta
ton on the highest hill in the city.
The flames had gained considerable
Roadway before the arrival Of the appa-
ratus BY mistake. two different boxes
were rung in, and this caused another
delay.
The barn was entirely destroyed, to-
gether with the contents. including a
large amount Of hay and quantity of
farming tools. The ell of the house
was also burned. but a portion of the
main part of the house was saved.
None of the furniture was saved, and
the loss will be about $1,000 Insurance
unknown. The fire originated in the
barn, and is supposed to have been of
incendiary origin. A similar attempt
was made three weeks ago but was
discovered in time to prevent any Sc
rious damage.
