Fire was discovered Tuesday on the
roof Of c. B. Cummings & Sons boiler
house. No alarm WAS sounded.
The assessors are still at work on the

aud we'll done we understand.

Water 10 the lake is nearly rs low now
80 IL was 1t any time last season, when
Il reached the lowest point for very
many years. The light and power STA
ton at the Falls Is run by steam power.
Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned election day In the Opera House
by the execution Of an order, given by
the CHARM IN Of the selectmen, TO Cousta-
bles Bassett and w. w. Twombly, TO take
from Hon. j. A. Roberts check list.
Mr.. Roberts was 10 no way hindering
the voters or any person Ia any way, but
was simply marking the names OF voters
AS they announced them and passed
within the rail to vote. Another list
was at once obtained and with less than
i've minutes delay, Mr.. Roberts con-
tinued his work In the same position
during the remainder OF the day without
objection or interruption from the chair
man or suy one. His position was such
as not TO obstruct the gate or passage
way In the slightest, and he WAS doing
the work which has always been assign
ed 10 the chairman OF the Republican
Town Committee since the Introduction
Of the present way of voting, and work
always done by both parties In contest
At the noon hour, by order OF the au-
tbority lunch WAS served within the
rallied Enclosure, and the caterer, Ia the
establishing and maintaining Of his
restaurant, followed voters into and out
from the Enclosure for 8 space Of seven
minutes sixteen times by actual count.
The tables were so near the voting
shelves that IL WAS difficult for voter
10 pass around them TO the place ID mark
his ballot. The tax collector, Geo. A.
Cole. is reported To have said he collect
ed 500 during the day, occupying the
greater part OF the time the table which,
In the rough and tumble struggle Bss-
se,t and Tgombly had with Hon. j. A.
Roberts, was taken from him. Mr..
Coles position Was immediately In front
Of the gate or passage way and very near
the position held by Mr.. Roberts at the
moment OF attack made upon him by
order OF the chairman. At another time
Constable Cole entered the rallied en-
closure within reach OF the chairman
aud talked for some time with the town
clerk No arrests were made. MI.
Roberts board and check list were 10
the possession Of the officers during the
entire dsy, a demand for the return being
met with y refusal unless 4 promise was
given not 10 use IL Ia the place. With
the apparent disregard OF the require
ments Of the law as TO the entry OF per-
hn hod N
within the rallied space the incident is
looked upon AS very discreditsble. The
chairman IL understood 10 be strong
Bryan man and not an admirer OF the
gentleman upon whom he ordered the
assault. Hon. J. A. Roberts has served
his district In the House Of Represents
tiyes and Senate. has been selsctman,
superintendent Of schools, and 10 now
one OF the trustees OF the University OF
Msine, prominent 10 the Grange and
held in high esteem by his townsmen az
being an honest, upright and law abid-
ing citizen. The condemnation OF the
authority which perpetrsted the bastard
ly assault cannot be too strong.

Municipal Court Was held Tuesday.
