Wednesday Mornings Fire.

The double tenement house on the
north side of High street, occupied by
the families of A. X. Butler, Esq. and
Cecil Tilton as dwelling house, aud
owned by e. p Page, was heavily dam.
aged by fire, yesterday morning.
The cause Of the fire was the result of
gasolene explosion. 1t seems the
baby was i'll and as Mrs. Tilton was
making ready to heat water 1t was
found necessary to fill the tank OF the
gasolene stove. In the haste some of
the gasolene was evidently spilled on
the flor from which the usual gas
formed, and when match was struck
the room was in blaze in an instant.
Most fortunately the fl mes did not ig-
mite the clothing Of Mrs. Tilton and her
screams aroused the rest OF the house
hold, but 80 quickly did the fl lmes
spread that the inmates were only able
to escape In half clad condition.
The damage to the building was con.
fined mainly to the ell and stable.
though the main part of the house, par
ticularly on the west side, was more or
less charred by the fl .mes and the en-.
tire building was saturated with smoke
and drenched with water from four lines
OF hose.
The damage to the building and to the
property in Mr.. Buffers apartments is
well covered by insurance. Mr.. Tilton,
who loses nearly all OF his household
goods, carried no insurance.

Lakewood Notes.

The Maccabee Band will give frequent
concerts at Lakewood, next Sunday.
large party of excursionists from
down river towns passed last Sunday at
Lakewood. Halls Military Band gave
concerts.
The play at Lakewood Theater, this
week, "The Land of the Living" calls
out the full strength of the company and
the scenic effects are especially pleas
ing.
The Lakewood Stock Co. will off
next week a new rural comedy drama
"Harvest Days" written by Mr.. Neil
Twomey, the popular leading man Of
the company. The characters are pie
tured just as we see them In the country
villages and the scenes are laid In this
state. The story of the drama is the
love of sterling young fellow, a love
that Is bestowed upon the only daughter
of we'll to do Maine farmer. Through
the scheming of the young lady's uncle
and his adopted son the lovers are sep.
arated, but after many trials they are
at last united and Joy and happiness
reign supreme. Mr.. Twomey the author
will assume the leading male role, while
Miss Winter will appear as the farmers
daughter. The rest of the characters
are mostly comedy ones. Mr.. Malcolm
will be Billie Watkins the chore boy and
has his armful always OF spots OF wit
and humor. Miss Rice, the dainty little
soubrette, will be the sweetheart of Billie.
Mrs. McCord will also have a rural char
acter Ia the role of Jane Henry the
house keeper. Mr.. Stafford and MI.
McCord will play the parts of jew and
Irishman respectively and much can
be looked for from all these characters.
The rest of the characters are all strong
and the scenic Investment will be In
keeping with that which has been shown
In the past by this most popular organ
izltion. As this is to be the first pre-
sentation of this drama upon any stage
1t Is only natural that all of the cast will
be on their meule as they term 1t
Electrically and consequently strong
performance can be looked for. This is the
first opportunity that our citizens have
ever had OF witnessing the first perform
ance of any drama and consequently
large business is anticipated.

Theory Of the Aurora.

Tie latest theory, and a very ingeni-
Gus one, writes Frank Wiibert Stokes
in the Century. is that of Untcrweger,
who supposes that cosmic ether, which
lis the celestial spheres. when met by
the earth's movement, is compressed
or condensed in front of the earth
in the direction Of its movement, and
dilated or rarcfed. on the Contrary,
behind it. This cosmic either is more
condensed before the earth than that
which is borne along in the whirl of
the world at from 33 to A miles per
second, and is more rarcfied behind.
Tho result Is that one-half Of the
earth, or the northern hemisphere,
will be negatively electrified and the
southern hahf pC.Gtively elect flied
with the space regions which they are
leaving. Only the magic of the spec.
troscope will probably push aside the
curtains CT this grand mystery and re.
veal the truth.

Joined with a fiery temper that brooks

He came in the other day from his

He had gone against man twice

Both eyes were in mourning, his
nose was as big as two ordinary noses,
his front teeth were gone, one ear was

ENGLAND MAY DISAPPEAR.
The East Coast Said to Be Receding
at an ALARMING Rate.

According to the London Express
the inroads made by the sea into the
east coast Of England hnye seriously
alarmed the local authorities. who
have Intellectually spent many thou
sands of pounds In protective works,
and an important conference was re-
Gently held at Norwich to consider this
matter.
The position of affairs Is. indeed.
very serious. Lowestoft, which has
had to spend between G59,0O0 and
100000 on protective works, has been
especially hard hit.
The north beach has been undergo
ins steady process of deEudation by
the sea, while the Ness has all but dis
appeared, and the lighthouse has been
at least three times removed further
inland within living memory.
At Kirkley and Pakefield, adjacent
hamlets, houses built comparatively
recently have had to be taken down
to prevent them toppling over into the
ocean. At Pakefield heaps of broken
concrete lie strewn on the beach, all
that remains of the protective works,
and at wreck few weeks before
Christmas the lifeboat could not be
launched on account of the debris.
Further south the cliffs have been
washed quite away.
A familiar instance Of the ruin
wrought by the sea further south Is
Dunwich, about five miles below South

Once a fiourishing town with a har-
Dor and fishery extending to Iceland.
and in earlier times a bishops seat,
Dunwich is now wiped out. Only
few crumbling walls denote the ruins
Of the sole surviving church on the
clif.
The land there used to extend miles
further out, and 1t is on record that
over a score of churches stood where
the ocean now reigns.
Several other parishes have been
practically blotted of the face Of the
earth in Norfolk by the encroaching
sea, such as Little Waxham, Whimp
well, Shipden and Keswick.
