Readfiekd Grange.

There was a good attendance at the
meeting of Readiield Grange, Saturday.
The forenoon was entirely occupied as
were elected and four applications were
received. The afternoon exercises
opened with music by the choir AS
this was anniversary day the program
included the subject of The Grange:
Historical Sketch by Miss Annie A.
Nickerson; Grange Aims" by G. y.
Mace, and Grange Influence by Mrs.
G. c. n. Beane. These were interest
ing, particularly Miss Nickerson's
paper describing the early days
and meetings of this grange, the
small membership and atten-
dance and dscouraging circum-
stances under which it labored. Long
intervals between the meetings We're
frequent and often not enough were
present to fill the officers chairs; yet
these meetings were pleasant occasions
as was remarked by one of the sisters
present and the social time was not
considered as thrown away and unim-
proved. The faithfulneSS of those
members must have impressed our
membership of today. There are three
members in our grange today who have
been continuous members, ]. o. But
man and wife and Mrs. G. &. n. Beane.
Others who were charter members are
members now but have not been con-
nected with the order since its organi-
zation 20 years ago. Grange Aims"
alluded to some of the more prominent
features OF grange purposes and dwelt
upon the success that has attended the
efforts of the founders Of the order
Grange Influence" by Mrs. Beane, was
read by Bro. Weston, as the author is
not able to leave her room on account
of sickness. The paper was an able
presentation of the good accomplished
through the medium of the grange in
the neiShbCrhood and in the family and
what it has done for the individual.
Mrs. Poole. Mrs. Russell and others
spoke upon the subject
Readtield grange purposes to pur-
chase new piano and paint their hall
this summer. A portico will also be
built before the hall is painted.

The Fire Inuuest.

The inquest before the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen. Monday evening to
inquire into the causes. etc, of the fire
in the telephone exchange last Friday
evening did not develop any new or un-
related feature. The fact that the in
puiry was required by law was suffi-
Cicnt for the summoning of witnesses
and from their testimony it was shown
that the fire was of accidental origin.
Operator Fuller also Benedict Lyner
and Harry Shea who were present in
the room testified as to the Overtu"ning
of the oil heater and the quick spread
of the flames.
Lyner and Shea had started to leave
the room when the accident occurred,
Fuller testifying that in turning in his
swing chair either his chair or his leg
hit the heater portion of the lamp. Full
Ter endeavOred to replace it in an up
right position. hut as the oil came out
and there was danger of an explosion
he drew away and vaulted the railing
to gain the doorway. Within few
minutes the explosion came and the
r"om was wrapped in flames. Fuller
was unable to save any of the Office
effects or his OvcrCOat. After listen
ing to the evidence the verdict of ac-
cidcntal Ovcrturning of an oil heater
was established by formal vote.

The winter has been hard one in

without a question. and the other de-
