SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The private sporting camp with con-
tents, the farm barn with hay and grain
on the Starbell road in Ellsworth, own
ed by Fred H. Osgood, was DESTROYED by
fire, Wednesday evening. The loss is
estimated at $1,000. The fire originated
presumably from forest fire.
The body of the late w. T.. Eustis of
Springfield. Mass, who was drowned,
Sept. Is, near Castine, was recovered,
Wednesday morning, by Geo. Mercy.
The body will be sent to his former
home at Springfield for interment.
A house and stable on Marston street
Norway, owned by c. N. Tubbs, was
destroyed by fire early, Wednesday
morning. A French family had been
occupying the place and only moved out
the night before. 1t is supposed that
they carelessly dumped some of the
ashes from the stove into the woodshed
but the fire may have started froman-
but the fire may have started from an
other cause. The fire had got
well under way before its dis
covery, but the prompt and eff.
cient action of the hose company
succeeded in arresting it's spread
though one building near was set or
fire, but the flames were promptly ex.
tinguished. The loss is $500. Insured
for $500.

BUSINESS CONTINUES
At II. G. w. Mills Regardless of Recent
Strike Of the Firemen.

There was no important change in
the labor trouble at the mills of the
Hollingsworth & Whitney Co, Thurs
day The business has been going on
just as if nothing had happened. The
strikers have been employing them
selves on their loaf as they saw fit
and claim that they have not been in
terfering with the men who took their
places and do not intend to. Some have
secured other jobs and gone to work
again.
The labor leaders We're expected on
any train, during the day but so far as
could be learned did not arrive. The
trouble is apparently not settled yet.
and there may be developments at any
time.
Thus far the men have been receiv-
ing but little sympathy from the peo-
pie outside the mill. Their cause may
not be thoroughly understood but it is
not generally believed to be sufficient
for striking. A serious strike in the
mill is not ut all relishe1 by the people
of Waterville and Winslow and the best
of reasons will have to be advanced by
the men before they will be given amy
material support.

WATERVILLE.
A BRAVE ACT,
Fairfield Woman Drives Out Niqht
Providers with Rifle.

If all the women in the country had
AS much courage as Mrs. Edmond
Phillips, the business of securing "hand
outs at the farm houses would go to
the dogs a flying. Mrs. Phillips lives
on the Ridge" road, in Fairfield. and
as her husband is obliged to be away
from home good deal she is alone in
the house much of the time. There are
no neighbors very near and people in
the vicinity have been a little nervous
on her account. But after the exper-
fence she has just gone through they
all agree that she is abue to take care
of herself.
She always keeps loaded rifle handy
during the night when alone, and has
always declared that she would not
hesitate to use it if there should be
proper provocation. One night, this
week, while alone in the house she was
awakened by a noise on the lower floor
She seized the rifle and going cautiously
towards the stairway watched for de-
veiopments She saw the form of a man
advancing up the stairs and fired with
out an instant's hesitation. If ever a
man was surprised in his life it was
that one and the way he claWed for
fresh air was a caution. He had a COM
panion and at the next opportunity
Mrs. Phillips took another shot but
neither of them, so far as could be
learned, reached their mark. After
satisfying herself that the men had not
stopped to measure the farm Mrs.
Phillips passed the remainder of the
night in comfort.
The next day Mrs. Phillips was met
by one of the neighbors on the way to
Fairfield, after more cartridges and she
declared that other prowlers might eX-
pect the same medicine. 1t is supposed
that the men We're tramps who thought
there was no one in the house and We're
looking for a place to sleep.
