HEAVY LOSS.
Fire in Machiasport Causes
Damage Of $4,000.
Large Sardine Factory and Wharf Of
Steamboat Co. Burned.
Also Several Small Wooden Buildings
Went Up in Smoke.

Machiasport, June 1S.-A large sar-
dine factory owned by the Sea Coast
Packing Co., the wharf and freight
sheds owned by the Portland, Mt. De-
sert and Machias Steamboat Company,
and several small wooden buildings in
the lower part of the town, were de-
stroyed by fire early Wednesday, caus-
ing a loss of about 21,OOO. The cause
of the fire has not been determined, but
it is believed to have been the work of
an incendiary. The loss is partly COW
cred by insurance.
The sardine factory was one of the
largest owned by the company and as
it probably will not be rebuilt, consid-
cradle loss in wages to residents of the
town will result. The loss on the fac
tory will amount to $4,000; the steam
boat wharf and sheds $4,000 and three
small wooden buildings destroyed
$1,000.

BLOOD FLOWED.
Patterson, N. j., Scene Of
TumuItous Rioting.
AnaFchistic Strikers ReckIess|y Ap-
peal to Mob Law.
Several Persons Shot and Two Are
Dying.

Paterson, N. j., June 1S.-This city
was In the hands OF mob. today, and
as a result number of persons were
shot and two at least will die. One of
the latter is a reporter who was shot
while on duty.
Mills have been wrecked with stones
and bullets by the striking silk direc-
tors helpers or roughs acting for them.
There have been threats to resort to
the torch. but so far the mayor hest
tates about asking Governor Murphy
for troops, whose presence seems to be
necessary if the lawless element is to
be held in check.
This morning, Chairman McGrath,
who has held the strikers in leash
since he first obtained control, and who
has stood almost alone between the
city and violence, was on hand and
presided. He spoke, as did an English
man named Mcqueen, and Galleano,
an avowed anarchist. McGrath could
not understand the latter, but he
worked his countrymen into a frenzy.
Then Mcqueen leaped into control of
the meeting. He called for a vote on
the question Of calling for a general
strike of all branches of the silk trade.
All voted IN favor, as no one dared vote
otherwise, and a committee was APP
pointed to consider means for bringing
the silk workers out. Five minutes
later Galleano emerged from the group
shouting something in Italian.
Instantly a mob had formed about
him. Into it rushed the Italians and
then the other foreigners, and a mo-
ment later the mob, led by Galleano,
swept down Belmont avenue to the Co
lumbia mill. a silk ribbon factory. The
doors were forced open and a volley Of
stones riddled the windows in front of
the building. President Grossgebaur
telephoned the police. Stones rained
into the office. Twenty young women
on the first floor stood at bay and
threatened TO fight, and the weavers
on the second floor ran to their aid.
VIM. Westerfield, the leader of the rib
bon workers strike eight years ago,
took command. He directed those in
the place to leave and denounced the
anarchists.
When the operatives were out of the
Columbia the mob swept on down Bel
mont avenue. Several members of
Brescis Old Comrades, with Galleano
at their head, were in the lead. At the
Cedar Cliff mill the mob stayed until
all were out and offered no violence.
The Rynewarner mill doors were
burst open and the men and girls
there were found ready to go out. When
this was seen the rioters did nothing
but wait until the mill was closed. The
next place visited was a cotton braid
factory. The women became hysterical
as the bowling rioters climbed in the

SECRETLY AND QUIETLY.
Coffee Slowly and Steadily Poisons
Some Persons.

There is no doubt that coffee secretly
and quietly causes an immense amount
of misery to the human race, but in
the majority of cases the person does
not suspect the cause of the trouble.
A Virginia lady had an interesting
experiment with coffee poison. She
says, For about five years l was trou-
bled with Indigestion, weak stomach
and palpitation of the heart so bad
that at times | would fall and have to
be carried into the house. Finally

patent medicines and different doctors,
only to get temporary relief.
Il finally gave up all hope of getting

ton that everything but stale bread
would throw me into spasms. | nearly
starved myself but never suspected
that coffee was the cause of all the
trouble. nor did l have any idea what
the cause was.

been reading how Postum Food Coffee

from coffee drinking and he urged me
to leave off coffee and try Postum.
