UNION HALL BURNED. Sunday morn
ing at about O'Clock, Preston Moody's
| dog began to bark and howl, waking Mrs.
Flora Brohan, sister of Mr.. Elwell, who
saw Union Hall, a two-story building % by
so feet, was on fire. Mr.. Elwell aroused
the people at the Cove, who with the sum
mer boarders turned out to the number of
80 or 70 but could do nothing to save the
doomed building, and it was burned to the
ground with its contents, consisting of the
Good Templars charter and regalia, the
tables of the Ladies' Aid Society, the voting
booths belonging to the town and an
| organ hired by w. f. Richards, who had
been holding dances in the hall. The
building was erected by a society of Good
Templars, who sold it to its present owner,
Charles n. Bird, who, it is said, had an in
surance of $500 on it. E. B.. Elwell, who
has young orchard, had apples roasted on
his trees. Had the wind changed little to
the south, our beautiful church must have
gone. Great credit is due, first, to the dog,
second, to all the people at the Cove. To
name them would be to name all the
resident and nonresident men, women and
children. Burned shingles were found on
top of the Frye hill. Origin of fire I'M
known.
