Insurance Commissioner S. w. Carr
will investigate the fire which de-
stroyed the Sea View House, Old Or
chard, Thursday morning. In this fire
two persons, Mrs Helen L. Martin and
Mrs. E. A. Stevens of East Grafton, N.
H., lost their lives. The published re-
ports say that the fire started around
the kitchen range, but the commission
err feels that the nature of the fire is
such that a careful investigation
should be made.
Chief among the subjects under dis
cussion in the different departments,
these days, is the annual State House
excursion to Portland. This trip will
be made on Wednesday, next, and
most of the members of the house
force are DESTROYS of participating in
it. 1t is now very evident that there
will be many more upon the excursion
this year than before. This is shown
by the large number of acceptances of
invitations which have already been
received, the total being much larger
than last year.
Arrangements have been made to
have tickets on sale at the HalloWell
and Gardiner stations for the ccorl-
10 of ;cJ, 70
those cities. Arrangements have also
been made to have tickets on sale at
| other stations from which acceptances
have been received.
Lieut.. w. D. Floyd. commander of
| the Maine Signal Corps, states that
| the corps has been doing some hard
work preparatory to the coming ma
| neuvres around Portland. On the last
| three Saturdays the men have hired a
| naphtha launch, at their own expense,
| and used it for practicing with Ian
terms and torches by night and the
| flags and Photograph by day, between
| Long, Jewels, Hope and Great Che
| beague islands. On Sunday, (tOmor-
row they expect to use the new cable
| between those islands for the first
| time. This cable will, it is thought, be
laid. tonight.
| 1t is the hope of the lieutenant that
in the near future the corps will be
armed and equipped in a manner which
will make it second to none in the
! country.
