FALMOUTH FIREWORKS.
The Remodelled Hotels Gorgeous De-
coration Spoiled by Live Wire.

The red-shirted visitors who happened
to be on Middle street or in that immedi-
ate vicinity, early last evening, had the
Measure of seeing two of the Portland
companies make quick run in response
to a still alarm.
The Falmouth hotel, whose extensive
alterations are so nearly completed that
reception of the veteran fremen, fur
nished an exhibition of fireworks that had
not been contemplated in the plans of the
manager. The front OF the hotel was
gorgeously decorated with bunting and
festooned with strings of tri-colored in
candesoent lights, extending from the top
of the flagstaff to the top of the first story
windows.
IL unfortunately, there was bare spot in
one of the wires near the upper westerly
corner. Shortly after eight o'clock, that
bare wire got in its work on stretch of
bunting with which it came in contact.
The bunting took fire. A hotel employe
ran to the upper story, and leaning out of
the nearest window snatched the blazing
cloth and tore it down. He dropped it
and it fell on another strip of bunting
and communicated the blaze to that.
Then the still alarm was given at the
fire station, and the chemical engine and
Hose started for the scene. Tho crowd
was there in advance of them, and in the
crowd were seen many of the visiting
| vets.
The chemical directed its stream at the
| burning bunting, and extinguished a part
of it, but most of the blaze was beyond
the limit of the machines squirting
| capabilities. Firemen and employees OF
the hotel took possession of the chambers
nearest the fire and leaning ont of the
windows tore off yards of the bunting
and threw it to the sidewalk. Only a
small portion of the bunting was burned,
but enough to spoil the effect of the de-
sign. One of the strings Of colored lights
fell, and about thirty incandescent globes
went to smash on the sidewalk.
The loss, which will not exceed $50,
was confined to the exterior of the build
| ing. The damaged lights and charred
bunting will be replaced today.

blunt invitation to keep out of the park (,
and early last evening they talked the
matter over and decided upon plan of
retaliation. About $50 of them went in a
body to the park, tore down one of the
obnoxious placards and proceeded to use
it as football. After passing 1t back

scratched out the word ''not" so that the
placard read: "Soldiers in uniform are

Montauk viii Not Be lowed But Will
Sail to New London.

The naval tug Seminole arrived yes
terday morning to convoy the Montauk
to New London. The understanding of
the Montauk officers was that the mont

Semlnole's captain has no such orders.
The Montauk will therefore proceed I'M

her.
On this account it is necessary for her
to coal and she will not therefore start
