An alarm was rung In at O'Clock last
evening for slight blaze In the F. A.
Eddy building on Main street. The build
ing is occupied by II. W. Estey as variety
store and news stand. The Postal tele-
graph Is also In the building. The blaze
was caused by large lamp overheating
the ceiling, causing the hook to pull out,
letting the big lamp drop. Fortunately
the lamp was extinguished in falling and
did not explode. The fremen were
quickly on the scene, and used just one
dash of water to put the fire out. The
damage was slight.
Repairs have been started on the Ameri-
can house which was damaged by fire
three weeks ago. The whole upper por-
tion OF the old part will be rebuilt, and
another story, containing twelve new
rooms, added. On the first floor new
steel ceiling is to be put into the office,
new floors laid In office aud dining room,
and newly pspered throughout. On the
second foor new ceilings will be put in
throughout, also new paper. The new
rooms on the third floor will be the best
In the house; they will be fitted with
electric lights, steam heat and bath.
Frank r. Moore is the contractor.
Miss Fannie Leig hton met with q pain
ful but not serious accident Sunday while
Ice boating on the bay. She was in
Charles Cunningham's boat, and was
running down the western shore at a
lively rate, when the boat came to q large
seam in the ice that extended scross the
bay. Instead of jumping the seam as
other boats had, she brought up all stand
ing, and Miss Leigh was thrown for
ward with great violence, striking her
keans between the mast and iron supports
that hold the skate plank. Miss leighton
was badly cut about the head. She was
unconscious nearly twenty-four hours.
DR.. Emery, OF Surry, attended her.
Lovers of dogs herea bouts will be inter-
ested to learn that James A. Davis, an old
Ellsworth boy, and himself a life-Iong
lover of dogs, has entered a new line of
business-without giving up the old,
however having recently bought the
Presto kennels, the home of famous Bos-
ton terriers, long recognized as the best
in the country. These kennels are now at
Newton Highlands, but Nj. Davis intends
soon to build new ones at his country
place at Lexington, Mass, and move the
kennels there. He now has twenty-eight
OF the finest Boston terriers, all registered
stock and standard bred. Four of his
famous dogs are: "Ch. Lord Derby"
Tiny Tim," "Peppo" and Lexington
Derby". The American Stock Keeper
warmly welcomes Mr.. Davis into the
circle of high-grade dog breeders. 1t
says: "The advent of such substantial
and reliable business men into the Boston
terrier fancy must be welcome to those
who have the best interests OF the breed
