there had been no finishing which re-
quired their use. Neither were there any
combustibles nor, so far as is known,
anything from which fire would be ex-
peeted spontaneously to start.
The blaze was first seen by Dana Spoon
err, whose house is next TO the mill prop
erty and within a few feet of where the
store house stood. Almost at the same
time the foreman Of the factory, j. III.
Kendall. who had been attending the
grange meeting in the hall opposite, came
out 10 get his team which was hitehed in
the mill shed. He noticed a light in the
second story Of the store house and
thought for a moment that Night Watch
man Hunt was moving about, but soon
perceived that the illumination was Of
serious nature.
The alarm was at once given, and the
tiremen were on the scene in a trice, but
in spite OF the three great streams Of water
playing on the fire, the building burned
like kindling and the flames crept along the
connecting bridge toward the mill. As
soon as possible the bridge was torn
down, and through the excellent service
OF fire company, of which Randolph has
reason to be proud, the threatened mill on
one side and the house of Dana Spooner,
which was in equal danger on the other,
were saved.
The store house. which belonged TO the
corporation that owns all of that mill
property, was burned to the ground and
with II a carload OF furniture, which was
packed and ready for shipment, while a
pile OF black walnut lumber, containing
about 10000 feet and worth all Of a 1900,
was SO charred as 10 be practically useless.
In addition to the loss OF their stock, b.
Souto a Co. find themselves in a discour-
aging situation for filling the orders for
700 cases OF furniture which they now
have on their books.
The night was, fortunately, perfectly
still or 1t would have been impossible to
confne the fire to the store house alone.
Force pumps played an important part i'm
saving the Spooner house, which was, in
spite OF everything, somewhat scorched.
Ralph Nadini, occupying the upstairs
tenement, moved out few of his house
hold effects when il seemed more than
probab bic that the house would catch fire
from the mass Of burning material on the
other side OF narrow driveway.
Two lines OF hose were fastened to the
hydrant on Weston street and one TO the
hydrant at the corner OF Franklin street,
across the track from the mill. passing
freight train prevented the fremen from
running the hose from the franklin street
hydrant over the track to the fire, hinder
ing them about ten minutes while they
were putting II under the switch and
splicing il out.
The store house was insured for 1900,
and an insurance of S2750 had been paid
that very day for the damage done to the
mill building by the fire Of May 20.
The cause of this fire is unknown and, so
far, unguessable,

The members OF Beulah chapter, Order

mic last Thursday in East Granville, at
the home of the worthy patron, Lueius

is staying there for the summer.
The "Old Homestead" well reihem-
bered by many as a most delightful place
to be entertained, wore its usual hospit-
able aspect, and the old-time cordial
welcome was forth coming. The morn
ing was rainy and threatening, but It
soon cleared and the day proved 10 be
very pleasant.
After dinner a band Of music( 4! y
wound around the house, crossed the
river and disappeared. A short literary
program on the lawn came next with
paper by Mrs. c. T.. Abbott, descriptive
of her Journey to the Southland, and a
poem by Mrs. Susa Bass appropriate for
the occasion.
All were invited to visit the cascade,
and following the narrow walk on the
rocks beside the murmuring stream, the
green boughs occasionally disputing their
passage, the party of 80 or more gained
the foot of the cliff, where the water
comes down its steep sides distance OF
forty or fifty feet, then rushes over its
rocky bed, perhaps joining other streams
and lending its help to the industries
along its way as il gathers strength.
Mr. Webb is large land owner with his
thousands of acres, with the woods and
rills, wales and hills, that teach us to love

On the return, games and lemonade
were INDUCED in and soon after lunch
was served. Mr.. Webb's sister, Mrs.

Evils of Excessive smvA.n-.

While a good cigar, used temperate
ly two or three times a day, may be
smoked by the average adult man to
good advantage, excessive indulgence
in smoking Is very harmful. 1t is only
necessafy TO recall ones first cigar and
the pFofouna effect it produced to real
ize that the smoking of tobacco in large
quantities is triling with a dangerous
agent, says the Baltimore Sun.
The chief effects of smoking are from
the nicotine and empyreumatic oil, the
first being an active poison-an infn-
itesmal quantity will destroy hfe-and
the latter, which is the rank accumu-
lation in the stem of the pipe, is also
a potent poison, one drop on the tongue
of 4 cat having been fatal The nico-
tine and the oil both act on the nervous
system, though differently, the nicotine
paralyzing the heart by its action on
the brain. while the oil confines itself
chiefly to the spinal cord and the motor
nerves.
IL will thus be seen that no part OF
the victims equipment escapes the
deadly effect Of tobacco in excess.
