AGAIN EVLCTED BY FIRE.
A. j. Archambo and His Family in
Hard Luck.

The Archambo Heating company plant at
219-221 Third street south, was the scene of
a So 600 fire yesterday. The fire started in
the chimney of the rear portion of the build
ing in that part which was being used tenn
porarily for residence purposes. The rear
portion is dwelling and had been improved
by the erection in the front and on the street
OF one-story store building.
The second floor Of the old dwelling was
used by A. j. Archambos family. During the
morning the servant had been using the
kitchen stove and had transferred shovel
of hot Goals from the coal TO the kitchen
stove The sudden increase in the fire in the
the chimney, which was old and unsafe. 1t
caused the woodwork about the ceiling to ig-
mite and before an alarm could be given the
entire upper part was in flames.
The prompt arrival of the department pre-
vented the spread OF the fire 10 the lower
floor and store end of the building. The up
per end was complete wreck before any
water could be thrown on it. In half an hour
after the department arrived the flames were
extinguished.
A. j. Archambo, the president of the COM
pany had his home in Bryn Mawr DESTROYED
by FIRE few weeks ago. He then moved what
few things had been saved into the second
floor of this dwelling on Third street, intend
ing to find another place until his home could
be built again. This second fire. coming as
it does right after the first fire. is a heavy
loss to Mr.. Archambo. Moreover. the insur-
ance upon the building and contents ex-
pred Friday night and Mr.. Archambo had
notified the company that be would attend
to the matter Immediately. While he was
down at the court house and city hall the
fire broke out.
The family on the second Goor had mar
row escape. There is only one exit and this
was nearly cut off when the flames kzoke out.

while Mr.. Nye delivered an eloquent appeal
for the mercy of the court. He paid tribute
to the character Of the convicted man, claim
ing only the lack of rigid business qualities
necessary to protect the public purse. He
claimed, also, that Mr.. Haugan's misappro-
priation was the result OF wretched sys-
tenn on the part of the city in the manage,
frankness of Mr.. Haugan on the stand were
urged as evidences that he was honest and
upright and had sought to conceal nothing
from the court. He characterized the verdict
as an honest one and closed with an urgent
appeal to the court for the clemency recon-
mented in the verdict.
Mr. Haugan stood quietly by the railing dur
ing this appeal on his behalf, tear now and
then creeping down his cheek as Mr.. Nye
referred felingy to his family and lis strait
ened circumstances.
The court read the statute fixing the pun
Ishment for the general crime Of which Mr.
had been I'd nm He said he
stand. He stated that there had been no
concealment Of the transactions carried on
by Mr.. Haugan as city treasurer. but that
general conditions which have prevailed in
the management of the citys affairs were
largely responsible for the losses. He then
passed sentence outlined above.
There will be no appeal from the sentence,
and new trial will be asked for. Mr..
Haugan went at once to the Jail in charge
of the sheriff, and commenced serving his
sentence. He was confined In cell No. g.

The train is not scheduled to stop
at Orono, but the conductor found that
a number Of university students held
tickets for that station, so he signalled
to the engineer to make a stop. 1t was
just after his signal that the accident
came. No worse spot for a derailment
can be found On this stretch Of railroad.
There Is high embankment for miles,
and every car save President Wilson's
car was overturned at the same time,
rolling down into the ditch. The mass
of wreckage fortunately did not take
fire, as the cars were equipped with
steam heating apparatus. Those who
escaped uninjured or with minor bruises
quickly went to the rescue of those
imprisoned in the cars. The Orono peo-
pie came quickly and worked rapidly,
imprOVising stretchers and taking the
wounded to the nearest houses. Word
was sent to Bangor for help and
wrecking train responded. carrying a
number Of surgeons.
The deep snow and the intense cold,
for 1t was 80 degrees below zero this
morning, was a great hindrance to the
rescue work. People who could not use
horses to reach the wreck, drew sleighs
and pungs by hand. The Injured were
carried into Orono. The townspeople
threw open their houses and the village
i'm was turned into a hospital.
Mrs. Murray was killed outright in
the car Mrs. Cunningham was alive
when rescued, but died a short Tina
after, while being carried into Orono.
Her husband, Deacon Cunningham, has
no chance to recover.
AS fast as the injured were attended
by the surgeons, they were sent to the
Bangor hospital on special trains.

ROANOKE RACE WAR.
Situation in Arkansas Worse Even
Than Described.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Jan. 29.-The
situation as regards the race war in
Roanoke county continues. According
to trustworthy reports received here
today, negroes are leaving there in
droves and business is almost at a
standstill. 1t is hard to get reliable
information or anything like facts con-
corning the situation from the usual
news sources, but parties arriving here
this afternoon assert that a reign of
terror prevails.
A travelling salesman, we'll known in
this state, came up from Lonoke this
afternoon. He says old and peaceful
negroes who have lived at, Lonoke for
years are taking their families and
leaving town as fast as they can get
away. The younger negroes are sullen
and defiant. He said that there is a
well organized movement among whites
to run all the negroes OUT and that
meeting of white men was to have been
held this afternoon at Lonoke to de-
wise plans for carrying out this pi1r-
pose. He left Lonoke just before this
meeting assembled.

WINNEBAGO CITY, Mimi, Jan. %
Elmer E. Dearth, state insurance COM
missioner, arrived in Winnebago CITY
last night. AS provided by law. he to-
day thoroughly and carefully examin-
eel and checked up the accounts of the
state Mutual Hail Insurance companv
or this city. The reason for his COM
ing at this particular time and not in
February, when the business Of his
ONCE is less pressing and in accordance
with the usual custom of the insurance
department, was that some uncompli-
mentary and damaging reports had
teen filed and charged against the State
Mutual. Mr.. Dearth stamped these
charges as unjust. Mr. Dearth, after he
had made his examination. called to-
gether the board of directors and ad-
Vised them that the condition of their
books and accounts fully met with all
The requirements of the law and his
department. He, however. required two
amendments to the bylaws regarding
salaries Of officers. AS soon as this was
done and additional payment Of losses
made by the State Mutual, he saw no
reason why the company should not re-
ceive its license for 1898. The board of
directors Immediately made the required
amendments to their bylaws and in
structed their secretary to issue the
additional checks to losers as directed.
Your correspondent has also been in
formed that nine out of the eleven in
co1porators purporting to have signed
Letition recently sent to the insurance
commissioner protesting against the is
sUancc of a license to Abe State Mutual
for 1898 either personally saw Mr..
Dearth while here, Or communicated
with him by letter to the effect that
they had been misled into signing said
petition, and expressed a desire that
the Mutual be granted a license to do
business in 1898.

it is likely that the bottom will drop out OF

matters now stand the rates to the Klondike
are down to the basis of one cent per mile
and a failure TO come to some terms with
the Canadian Pacific on the terms of its

the last prop from under the Alaska rates and
it is not at all unlikely that the regular
