A $4,000 Fire In skowheRan

The quiet of Thanksgiving evening 10
Skowhegsn WAS disturbed by the ring
Ing In OF an alarm from box 81 at Z
O'clock, fire being discovered In the old
Hoyt block on Water ST., recently pur-
chased by s. w. Gould, Esq the stores
of which were occupied by K. T. Good
rich, grocer, and George Weymouth,
harness and trunk dealer. The fire de.
partment arrived on the scene In short
order, to find both places of business
enveloped 10 smoke, but from appear.
ances the fife seemed to he In the rear OF
the Weymouth side. Entrance had to
be forcibly made and the streams OF
water from the hydrsnts were turned
that way. 1t was early discovered, how
ever, that the chief element was 10 the
rear and second story of the-block, the fire
having caught from an old defective CHIN
ney running up between the two stores,
that bad long been allowed to do service.
AS 1t WAS seen that 1t was to be hard
fight to keep the enemy In close quarters,
the steamer was brought out and placed
at the reservoir at the corner OF Madison
and Water streets, thus with the hyd-
rants giving the firemen ample water,
aud from then on 1t was q fight to the
finish, lasting about two hours. The d. =
partment worked most energetically aud
with good judgment and 1t was wholly
owing to this fact that the fire was kept
10 such close quarters. Thus once again
lie Skowhegan to be congratulated upon
her efficient fire department.
At the end 1t was found that Mr.. Wey-
mouths stock, large part of which
was removed during the blaze, WAS al
most total loss apparently, loss SO 800
insurance $1,000. <. t. Goodrich, the
grocer, carried a stock of about IS 900
with an insurance of "a, 500, aud his los:
was heavy. The second story of the
block had recently been vacated by all
the tenants except JAS. Ceilings, up.
holsterer, whose loss was about $3.50
with no insurance. The building itseli
is practically total loss, on which there
was an insurance of 81. 600. This loss
does not bear as heavy as it otherwise
might as 1t was Mr. Gould's intention tt
replace the structure 10 the early spring
by new brick block. The Murphy
block adjoining was damaged to the ex
tent of $500, fully insured. In thi'
block the damage to the occupants wa'
as follows, mostly by water: Miss Lord
milliner, damage $500, insurance $500
Knowlton g. Thompson, confectioners
damage 5000, insured; Folsom & Nut
ting, undertakers, damage $1,000, full.

A Queer Bet.

Samuel MCPHERSON, a resident of
Brooks, started out Monday morning
from Lexington, way up In the northern
part of Somerset county, to pay a novel
election bet.
November election was three days
away when Mcpherson and Stephen
Mitchell arrived at Lexington on their
way to the game country. While seated
about barrel stove Of the only hotel IN
the place, talk naturally run on the ap-
preaching election. Mcpherson Is n
dyed-in- the-wool Democrat and during
the conversation said that he felt sure
that Bryan would be elected and IL he
had any money would be willing to bet
that way. Mitchell, who Is a Republi.
can, made the following proposition:
If Mckinley WAS not elected, he (Mit-
chelD would walk from Lexington To his
home In Jackson, which Ia but little
way from the home Of Mcpherson 10
Brooks. and II the result of the election
made Mckinley president then McPher-
son should walk from the same to his
home In Brooks and he could take the
choice of routes.
The other condition was that the man
who walked home should call at every
house that sets on the roads that he may
travel, rap, and when the people came to
the door, he should state his politics and
declare who the successful candidate
might be. They learned the result of
the election within three days after 1t
occurred but continued their search for
game. After only one day of rest, Nc
Pherson started Monday morning for
home. He called at every house on the
road that he traversed and after calling
the people to the door said:
~ am Democrat. Mckinley islelect-
ed and am glad of 1t are not your
McPerson intended to be at home by
midnight Sunday. The route deter
mined upon lay along the stage road
from Lexington village to North New
bsssett River road to North Arson. The
traveller proceeded down Water street OF
the above village, turning at the corner
and passing to the river road to Patter
sons bridge. The route then continued
nearly due east to Hayden's at Hayden
lake. thence around the half the lake to
the village of East Madison to East
Madison Mills, to Cornville Center, tC
Browns Corner In the town Of Canaan
to Hartlapd village down the Sebasti
cook stream to Pittsfield, thence tC
Burnham, to Unity aud to the travellers
home in Brooks.
Mcpherson went on the trip alone anC
had the option to consume as much time
as he pleased on the way. Mcpherson
is man over fifty years of age and i:
hale and hearty. He is a farmer and
accustomed to hard work. Pittsfeld Ad

sented note concerning some very in.
teresting experiments in grating plants
the results of which contradicted the
generally accepted opinion that only
plants belonging to the same botanical
family can be successfully grated upon
one another. Mr. BONNER showed that

ample, the maple upon the lilac, the kid
