Richmond Has Expectations.

The Rradstreets from Gardiner and
operating a saw mill at South Gardi-
ner. have been in town again lately.
and have revived all the talk about a
new mill plant here. 1t will be re-
membered that a short time ago it was
runtored that this firm wished to get a
lease or to purchase the site of the ice
house at IceborO, and at the Peanut.
also. and now rumor has il that. I'M
successful in this attempt, they are
trying to buy the old Southland ship
yard. This yard has been lying idle
for 10 or l. years. and about town is
considered rather an undesirable piece
of property. One rumor has it that the
Rradstrcets had made an offer for the
yard. but this has been contradicted.
ana other people hold that the South
ard heirs will set no price upon the
yard. preferring that the purchasers
will make an offer for it. Whatever is
done the matter will have to be re-
ferred to the heirs of the late T. j.
Southland.
And close upon the heels of this talk
comes the rumor of another cotton
mill to be erected here. 1t is said that
the past year in the Richmond mills,

prosperous since the building of the
mills. and this has encouraged the idea
that an addition may prove a good

Fire in the home of Warren NJ. True.
1So Main street, caused a damage of
$500, Saturday night. The fire broke
out at II o'clock. and owing to the
sharp. efficient work of the firemen.
the all-out alarm was rung within half
an hour afterwards.
The family had retired for the night
and a short time before that Mr.. True
had gone down into the cellar to fix
the furnace. The house is heated by
a furnace made for burning wood. Near
the door of the furnace was guam
tty of kindling wood. 1t is thought
that when the fire was fixed for the
night a spark dropped into the fine
wood
Mrs Ada l.. Asher. who lives in the
south side of the house, thought that
she smelled smoke and heard the
cracking of burning wood. When she
went to investigate she found there
was a roaring fire in the cellar. She
gave the alarm. which was quickly
carried to the Hose 1 house at the next
door. There officer Kinds pressed the
button used in the test signal and
three strokes We're given. a few mo-
ments later an alarm was rung in from
box IS. and then the department went
to work on the fire.
BY this time, although but few
minutes had elapsed, the fire had
gained good Roadway, owing to the
start it had and had worked its way
up through the dining and sitting room
in the side of the house occupied by
Mr. Trues family. 1t was necessary
for the firemen to drenCh one corner
Of the dining room but the remainder
was not damaged in the slightest de
gree.
The damage by fire, smoke and water
will proba bly, amount to $500. TINS
loss is fully covered by insurance. The
damage done to the furniture can
probably be covered by 800.
Mrs. True. who went down stairs to
investigate the fire. was driven back

for a few moments was almost over
come She quickly stepped back ana
thus escaped a more serious injury,
Within a very short time she had re-
