Chief Davies Receives ! Cali.

Chief G. f. Davies of the IRE de-
partment, had the pleasure OF a sun
day morning call from the department.
yesterday. When the chief went down
into the basement to look after hfs Are
he found that it had burned rather
low. AS the morning was sliarp re-
wanted to start the fire up quickly
so put in some dry wood on ton of
the coal. This started a brisk. hot flre
that overheated the pipe and started
a little blaze along the floor timbers.
The chief sent his daughter over to
Hose to get one of the men to bring
over an extinguisher and an alarm was
meanwhile rung in from box So by
some one who evidently saw the smoke
coming from the basement windows.
The department responded promptly
but when it arrived the chief had the
fire all out A few pals OF water were
sufficient and there will be very little
damage. Some Of the timbers in the
of the pipe are charred a lit
tie but that Is about all. The alarm
was sounded about $50 and the "All
out" followed promptly.

At about O'clock. Saturday after
noon, the horse of Mark Rollins of
Chelsea, became frightened while near
the foot of KinderhoOk street, Ran
dolph, turned suddenly around, throw
ing Mr.. Rollins from the sleigh and
started at a rapid rate. Mr.. Rollins
held to the reins for some time, but
found it useless and released his hold.
The animal crossed the Gardiner and
Randolph bridge at rapid rate and
turned. down Water street at Beane's
corner. Here the sleigh collided with
another and threw the horse to one
side. He seemed to be going through
the large plate glass window at the
postoffice, but the heavy iron railing
in front of it prevented it. He was
there stopped and it was found that
the sleigh was demolished and the
horse quite badly cut on his off hind
foot

Fine Motor Installed.

A step in the direction of improve
ment and economy which has just been
completed is the installation of Wag-
ne~ 5-horse power single phase motor
to run the veptilating fans in the hos
pital, replacing the engine which has
been used for this purpose. These
ventilating fans are in operation all
most constantly, and it is expected that
the saving in fuel effected by this
change from steam to electricity will
more than pay for thd cost of the motor
in the first year. The power is furn-
ished by the Kennebec Light and Heat
Co. of Augusta, from their incandescent
light circuit. Other gains than that of
economy are also made by this change.
No engineer is required to run it, the
simple moving of a switch being suffi-
cient to stop or start it, the bearings
are so arranged as to run in oil and to
require only an occasional replenishing
of the reservoirs, less space is occupied,
noise is done away with, and the an
noyance of exhaust steam staining the
size of the building is obviated. A
new and important feature of this Wag-
ner motor is that the operator has
start itself and run up to speed carry
ing it's load at the same time. Most
motors actuated by an alternating cur
rent have to be started and the speed
allowed to run up to the number of
revolutions for which it is adjusted,
before the load is put on, necessitating
considerable more attention and often
difficulty in slipping belts on to rapidly
revolving pulleys. This motor has been
installed by contract with the Kenne-
bee Light and Heat Co, under the sup
erintendence of Electrician W. c.
Moore. and is the first of it's kind in this
vicinity. Its pulley wheel makes about
1900 revolutions per minute and the
shaft Of the ventilating fans 4S5. It
generates 5-horse power and occupies
a space less than four feet square. Its
weight is about 500 pounds.
