| A Noisy NIGHT. 1t began with a mega
| phone on the roof of the Opera House
Then the Niagara-like roar of the roller
skates and the strident notes of the hurdy
gurdy were heard, and continued until
about p. M, when the fire alarm began to
! sound. First it sounded one, then two, "all
, OUT and then %. This is the box corner of
|
there is fire in Selrsport, Aroostook
! county or Skowhegan, so that it was some
/, time before the crowd began to move down
Main street, only to be told by the return
ing advance guard that the fire was all out.
| Some said it was false alarm, but there
really was a fire in the brass foundry build
ing of the Duplex Roller Bushing Co. on
| Federal and Front streets. 1t caught around
the chimney and was extinguished by a
few buckets of water with but slight dam
age. Roller skating was now resumed and
about $50 another fire alarm sounded
this time from box p, corner of Congress
and Franklin streets. 1t was sure enough
fire this time, and originated in the stable
at the residence of &. Hervey Howes. The
stable was ceiled with hard pine and the
roof, as well as the roofs of the L. and
main house, are slated. The fire depart
ment got to work promptly, but the pres
sure is light on Congress street and the
water did not come with much volume or
| force. The stable was kept closed and as
| the water was poured in on the blazing
hard pine it caused a hot air explosion
which blew out part of the roof of the sta

BILE and took the states off the rear end of
! the l.. near the kitchen chimney, where the
! fire had penetrated. Fortunately no one
was injured by the falling states, and the
! fire was finally subdued. The walls of the
: stable were left standing, but the sheds at
the rear were burned to the ground. Had
there been high wind those at the fire say
the whole set of buildings must have been
| burned The main house was not injured.
The buildings were covered by insurance.
About . a. m. Wednesday some loud shout
ing was heard in the streets, the nature of
| which could not be exactly determined by
! those just aroused from slumber. and then,
a little later, the rumbling of heavy cart.
| What took place still later will probably
| have to go unreported, for sleep came at
last to the weary. 1t was good prepara
| ton for 'the night before the 4th.'
