that follow.

From University of Maine to Accept

Ororo, Me-. May 27.-(SpeciaD.-P
ment of civil engineering at the Uni
versity of Maine, has recently rendered
his resignation to the board of trus-
tees. For the past year Professor Gro
Yer has had charge of the photographic
survey of the State of Maine carried
on by the United States geological bu-
reau, toward which he has devoted a
portion of his time in connection with
mis- duties at the university. His res
ignation has been made that he may
accept a position in the photographic
bureau in which he will be at the head
of all the work of the bureau through
out New England
Professor Grover fitted for college at
ioulds Academy, Bethel, Maine, where
he graduated in the class of 1887. He
entered the civil engineering course at
the University of Maine in September
If the same year and was graduated in
1890. During his course he ranked
close to the head of his class and was
prominently identified with all branch
es OF college enterprise. After grad
nation he turned his attention to rail-
"oad construction, but returned to the
University of Maine in 1891 as assist

FOUR SUFFOCATED
And Three So Badly Burned
} That They May Die.
Deadly Work Of an |ncendiary in New
York Apartment House.
Firemen and Police Worked Calamity
to Save Lives.

New York, May 26.-Four persons
We're suffocated and three others were
SO badly burned that it is feared they
will die in a fire that started, early
Wednesday morning, on the top floor
of the five-story apartment house at
No. 306 West 135th street. The fire,
which is said to have been of incendiary
origin, started in the apartment of Geo.
Wandling. The dead are:
Mrs. Julia Wandling, her three chill
dren, George, six months old; Helen,
years, and Charles, years old.
Those believed to be fatally burned
are George Wandling, Walter Wandling
and Victor Johnson. They We're re-
moved to hospital.
Johnson discovered the fire and
claims to have seen the man said to
have started it.
Victor Johnson, before being taken to
the hospital, said he saw a man lighting
some shavings and waste at the foot of
the stairs in the house. The stairs had
been soaked with kerosene and some of
the oil dripped on Johnsons clothing.
With his clothes burning, Johnson as
serts he chased the incendary for sew
eral blocks before he fell exhausted.
Other persons saw the man run from
the house pursued by Johnson.
Mrs. Wandling was found dead with
her children on the top floor, where
they lived. She was in the kitchen
with her baby and was in a kneeling
position as though praying when she
succumbed to the smoke. The other
children were found in bed.
Police reserves were called out to pa
troll the fire lines and Capt. Martens
said an extra police guard would be
placed in the locality to precent a repe-
tition of incendiary fires like that in
the same neighborhood eight years ago.
At that time about 10 fires occurred in
the same block where Wednesdays fire
was, all within a few days of each
other.
The captain said the fire was believed
to have been started by former tenant
of the building who had been evicted.

FIRE AT READFIELD.
R. W. Harvey's Buildings at
the Corner Destroyed.
Help Asked Of WaterviIIe, that City's
Firemen Promptly Responding.
Peculiar Experiences of Fire Ladies' of
the Latter City.

Readfeld, Me-, May 27.-(SpeciaD.-
The town was again threatened by a
disastrous fire, today. 1t was thought
at one time, Tuesday, when the Maine
Central baggage room at the De-
pot, so called, was burning that
a good part of that settlement above
the station would have to go, but it
was saved by hard work. 1t looked,
today, as if the larger part of the
settlement at the Corner was doomed,
as five buildings We're on fire at one
time, with strong wind blowing in
Il direction to sweep the more thickly
settled portion of the town. AS it was,
the dwelling house of r. w. Harvey
and attached buildings We're burned,
causing loss of about $500, with
$500 insurance.
The fire started in a stable in the
rear and had secured a good start be-
fore being discovered. The people all
turned out to assist the hook and lad
Ter company, the only organization of
liremen in the place, and by the hard
est kind of work managed to keep the
flames from spreading. But they could
not save Mr.. Harveys house, and only
a heap of ashes remains of it. 1t was
a fine large brick dwelling and probably
cost more to build than the estimated
loss. Fire caught on four other build
| ings, but none of these were much
damaged.
| Help was asked of Waterville and a
| fire engine with hose company and cart
were sent, but they We're not needed
tby the time they arrived and We're not
taken from the station to the Corner.
1t was about as narrow an escape from
destruction, however, as the town cares
to have.

The Green Forest tribune., 1903-08-08

WHETHER you handle a pick or a pen, wheelbarrow or a set of books, dig ditches, ring an auc- tion bell or write funny things, you work. If you look around you you will see that the men who are most able to live the rest of their days without work are men that work the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing yourself with work. It is beyond your power to do that. Work gives you an appetite for meals; it lends sol = idity to your slumbers; it gives the appreciation of a holiday. There are young men who do not work, but the world is not proud of them. It does not even know their names, it simply speaks ot them as so and so's boys. The great busy world does not ever know they are here. So find out what you want to be and do, take off your coat and make dust ir the world. The buster you are the less deviltry you will ge into; the sweeter will be youl sleep, and the better satisfied vii the world be with you.
