A FIRE ON THE DUMP.
~ Caused the Firemen Some Trouble
and Calls Attention co Bad
state OF Affairs.

The chemical engine and hose 5 wers
called about $50 o'clock yesterday after.
noon ON stili alarm for fire on the
dump.in the rear of Braokett's mill. Here
large AREA. which Is owned by the city
was covered With waste paper some SIX
inches or a foot deep ON top Of the ash
heaps. About this section were many piles
Of hardwood lumber owned by the
Brackets mill company. In some way,
probably. ssfron mischievous boys, this
paper took Ere yesterday afternoon, and
famed by fresh breeze soon spread over
the entire dump In this section. One
lumber pile was almost entirely destroyed
and Others would have gone had 1t not
been for the prompt arrival Of the
chemical and hose 5. The firssnen had a
long job in extinguishing this fra which
might have been still mors disastrous
than 1t was.
II WINS onlyfa short time ago that fire
on the dump near the place where yester-
days blazs occurred, got into q big pile of
logs and also badly damaged some lumber
piles. There was time when the city kept
a man at work on the dump raking up the
waste paper which is deposited there and
burning II In small piles, and otherwise
looking after the city's interest here In
preventing the deposit of material which
might be objected to by the board OF
health. No man has been employed on
the dump for some time. though the
Portlandl& Rochester railroad !. keeps
man engaged all the time for this very
purpose. The chief engineer of the lire
department hes cautioned the roper au-
thorities regarding this dumrlng of paper
In this section, fearing that some time
bad fire might result ON Kennebec street
from the paper deposited here catching
fire and blowing In among the big lum-
Der piles In this locality. There is
chance thAtu now the proper city depart
ment may take the matter In hand and
prevent re-occurrence OF these fires
which always cost the city more or less
in proportion to their magnitude, besides
being source Of danger to property in
this locality.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
Discussed by Isaiah II. Stephenson al
second Advent Church.

Isaiah A. Stephenson of Arlington.
West Virginia, who lie studying law &C
the Lake Front University Law School,
Chicago. spoke iastIeven1ng at the Second
Advent churnh on the Negro Problem. I"
He mentioned the great contributions
which the negroes had made to the wealth
OF the countrysand their services In the
field, and gave instances of their valor.
He discussed at some length what he
called the miserable condition Of the
colored people in the South. which aross
from the prejudice of former slave hold
ing set OF people who wanted to take
vengeance on the black man because he
was no longer their property. -
They first accused the negro Of being an
insurrsctioDist and pursued him with
bloodhounds. Then the cry of negro SUI
prsmacy was raised. 1t was urged that
he would outvote the whites and this
must te stopped by all means, foul or
fair. Now the black man IL accused OF the
vilest kind of outrages and they are TO be
got rid OF by iynohings. This speaker did
not think the negroes were all saints by
any means, but In many instances these
charges of outragss upon white women
wers trumped up and without any founl
dalton. They were jobs. so to speak, put
mp by the collusion of white women with
men who wanted to m AXE case against
o black man.
He spoke Of. the ignorance and illiteracy
In the South which was confined by no
means to his own race. There were plenty
Of ignorant whites down there.
He pointed out that tbs Consultation of
the United States provided remedy for
all these troubles and thought the adj
ministration was neglecting its duty in
not using the power given it to suppress
these open violations Of law.
Formation of alliances and anti-lynch-
Ing societies was suggested as one OF the
great needs Of the hour and the speaker
In conclusion asked his hearers to lose no
time In forming them.
