The Harrington correspondent OF the
Cherryfield Times says of Mrs. Gilman P.
Smith, whose death at the hospital in
Bangor was reported in THE AMERICAN
last week: "Mrs. Smith had long held
leading position in society, and was asso-
ciated with every work intended for the
advancement and the we'll being of the
community. She was an active worker IN
the Martha Washington society, an old
organization for the promotion OF church
work and charity, having been founded
more than sixty years ago. She was also
member OF Hiram Burnham relief corps,
the Woman's Christian temperance union,
and few days prior to her death had been
accepted to mem bership In Oasis chapter,
Order Eastern Star, West Sullivan. She
was q kind and sympathizing neig hbor;
in her family relations a model wife and
mother. The high and tender regard In
which she was held was emphasized In the
contribution OF floral offerings, which
were many and beautiful"
The snow storm OF last week and the
high wind for several days following
which caused the snow to drift badly,
blocked roads in all directions and
Out of the six stage routes running out
OF Ellsworth, the Mt. Desert island stage
was the only one that did not miss trip
but it was delayed on several days. The
up river, Bluehili, Lamoine and West Ellis
wort stage each missed one day. The
up-river stage got to No. s plantation and
back the second day, through to Waltham
and returned Friday, and through to the
end of its route for the first time on
saturday. West Ellsworth resorted to
the old-time method of carrying mail on
horseback. BIuehill stage got to Surry
and back Thursday. Friday it got tbroug b
to Bluehill and made the return trip Sat
urday. The Bayside stage missed three
full trips. The roads are now fairly pass
able, and mails are running only little
behind schedule.

A COLD FIRE.

Ellsworth Firemen Fight Fire in ii
Freezing Gale.
The dwelling house OF Frank e. Gar
land on upper Birch avenue was burned
Wednesday night.
With deep snow through which to drag
their apparatus, and zero gale in which
to fight the flames, the tiremen had hard
work. A line OF hose nearly 1,100 feet
long was finally laid, but the water froze
in IL, so that the stream which came
through the nozzle was too weak to be
effective.
The firemen and neighbors succeeded
in saving some OF the furniture, but the
greater part OF the contents of the house
was burned.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from a defective chimney. Mrs. Garland
and six children had retired. The fire
was burning fiercely when discovered.
Mrs. Garland and the children, scantily
clad, escaped to the house of neighbor.
The loss is estimated at 81 500; insurance
81 900. Mr.. Garland was away from home,
being employed in Bangor. 1t is peculiar
coincidence that two or three times before
this house has been badly damaged by fire.
