ABOUT $4,000 DAMAGE
BY the Wednesday Night Fire In Cabot
Mill, Brunswick.

Brunswick, Me, April 25.-It was an
nounced today than the damage to the
mill and stock by the fire in the old
mill of the Cabot Manufacturing Co.
last night was less than $4,000.
The fire. which was not eXtiEguished
until early Thursday morning, is at
tributed to spontaneous combustion
and originated on the fourth floor of
what is known as the old mill, a large
brick structure. The fire started in a
quantity of cotton rolling. For several
hours it resisted the efforts of the cor
poration employees, and the local fire
department. The flames were con-
fined to the fourth floor but it was
feared that big damage of goods and
machinery on the three lower floors
would be caused by water. Great VOL
umeS of water soaked into the machine
SnOp, carpenter shop and stock room.
In the latter were thousands of bales
of finished cloth.
Agent Russell w. Eaton was in Bos-
ton attending the national cotton
manufacturers convention.
The mill property is insured in a
mutual company. The head offices of
the Cabot Go. are at Boston.

112 Cottages, Hotel,
Stores and P.0. Burned.
SpiTituaIist Settlement at Mil
|er's Falls, Mass, Wiped Out.
Packing Plant at Allegheny, Pa,
Totally Destroyed.

Miller's Falls, Mass, April 25.-One
hundred and twelve buildings at the
Lake Pleasant settlement of the New
England Spiritualist Camp Meeting As
ISOLATION were burned today, causing a
loss estimated at S115,000. The burned
buildings included hotel, several
stores, postofIice dancing pavilion, the
headquarters Of the association and
about 100 cottages The fire was caused
by the explosion of a lamp in the cot
tage owned and occupied by George F.
Mckinney.
The settlement is controlled by the
Spiritualist Camp Meeting Association
and is divided into two sections. the
Uplands and Lowlands. Practically
every building in the Lowlands was de-
stroyed, only the railroad station and
five or six cottages remaining stand
ing.
Most of the cottages were of light
construction and were not appraised
highly, costing probably between $500
and $500 each. The hotel, the Lake
Pleasant House, was a wooden struc-
ture OF 1875 rooms, and was valued at
SIC, 900. TIE fire started in cottage in
the Lowlands near the hotel and quick
" spread to the surrounding buildings
In a short time the entire settlement
was a mass of flames.
At this time of year there are only
about 80 families at the lake. The men
did their best to check the spread of
the flames, but their efforts were in
vain. as buckets were the only fire
fighting apparatus they could use. The
lightly constructed cottages caught
fire quickly, and in a few moments
nothing but heaps of smouldering ashes
and small brick chimneys showed
where the cottages had stood.
1t was about o'clock in the morning
when the fire broke out, and by
o'clock it had burned itself out.
The cottage settlement at Lake
Pleasant is on the line of the Fitchburg
division of the Boston & Maine Rail
road. It lies about eight miles from
Greenfield and two miles from Miller
Falls. The settlement. which is located
at one end of the lake, is divided by
small stream, by which the waters OF
the lake empty into the Deerfield river
ON the upper side of the stream the
cottages escaped the flames. but the
fire went through the Lowland's settle
ment. sweeping everything in its path.
The railroad station and half dozen
cottages that did not burn were Sltuat-
ed some distance from the ire zone.

SHOWN IN COURT.
Bullet Which Killed Gus
tave Simon, New York.
Damaging Evidence Against
Alleged MurdereSS.
Witnesses Say Simon Identified
Her After Shooting.

New York, April 25.-The bullet
which killed Gustave Simon, a shirt
waist manufacturer, who was shot in
his factory in Broadway last November
was exhibited in court today where
Mrs. AnIsia DeMasscy, the so-called
French baroness, is on trial charged
with have taken his life While the
deadly missile was passed from hand
to hand by the jurymen, she sat chat
ting with her counsel and from time
to time making notes in Il memoran-
dunn book.
Among the spectators in court to-
day were two sons of the murdered
man. One of them, DR.. Carleton Simon,
a specialist in criminology. is making
study of the defendant while on trial
for her life.
Mrs. Anna Polaisa, who had worked
with the defendant in the shrtwaist
factory said that when Simon was be-
ing removed from his office to the ele-
vator she heard him say that Mrs.
DeMassey shot him. Mrs. DeMassey
had been brought up from the lower
hall" said the witness, land was led
to place which Simon would have TO
pass OI his way 10 the elevator. w hen
Simon was brought along a policeman
pointed to Mrs. DeMassey and asked
If this was the woman that fired the
shots. Yes said Simon this is the
woman. Madame DeMassey shot me-"
On motion of counsel for the de-
fence and with the consent of the pro-
secution the statement of the witness
that she heard Simon declare the shot !
were fired by the defendant was strick-
en- from the record. From another wit
ness. Elizabeth V. Hale, who was en-
ployed by Simon's company as design
or however, the prosecution got about
the same testimony. Miss Hale said
she was in the Office when Mrs. De-
Massey was brought in by a policeman
after the shooting.
What was done with the defendant
when She was brought in?" asked Mr..
Ely.
The officer took her before Mr.
Simon and asked him if this was the
woman who had shot him. replied the
witness.
What did Mr.. Simon say?"
Yes, that is the woman that shot
me; take her away: take her awav."
She smiled and said II didn't shoot
him. Adjournment then was taken

SPECTACULAR BLAZE.
Packing Plant At Allegheny, Pa, De-
stroyed-Loss 100000.

Pittsburg, April 25.-One of the most
remarkable and spectacular fires seen
in this vicinity started last night in
the William Zoeller Packing Cos
plants, Spring Garden avenue, Al
legheny, opposite this city.
Early today when the fire was
thought to be under control a large
fireproof warehouse, in which was
stored 100000 pounds of lard, suddenly
burst into flames. All efforts to ex-
were futile and the firemen finally
fastened the iron doors of the building,
shutting in the burning lard.
The interior of the building soon be-
came a seething furnace. Squirting
from crevices, doors and windows,
streams of hot grease ran into a sort
of trench hurriedly prepared in an. en-
deavor to prevent the hot fluid from
spreading over surrounding territory.
Danger was encountered at every
turn by the firemen, who stood by in
case the walls of the warehouse should
collapse, and allowing the blazing lard
to reach the adjacent property.
Shortly after the fire was discovered
last night, and while thousands of
spectators were gathered in the vicin-
ity, a dozen large ammonia tanks ex-
ploded with terrific force. That no
loss of life resulted is considered
marvellous.
Fire was first discovered in the kill
ing department of the plant and is sup
posed to have been caused by crossed
electric wires. Owing to the inflam-
mable nature of the grease laden wood
work, the building was soon beyond
control of the firemen.
At o'clock this morning the fire
had practically burned itself out. 1t
was said the loss will reach $780, 900.

BOWDOIN MEN PLEASED.
General Satisfaction Prevails At Out
come Of Debate At Syracuse.

Brunswick, Me, April 25.-(SpeciaD.
While no formal celebration was
made. great satisfaction was expressed
about the college today over the out
come of last evenings debate in which
Bowdoin won a signal victory in the
first annual debate with Syracuse Uni
versity at Syracuse.
While it was felt that the Bowdoin
team was strong one even the most
sanguinc were skeptical over the re-
suit of a debate with a university OF
the size of Syracuse, which is one OF
the largest in the county, and when the
glad announcement was made in this
mornings papers the satisfaction eX-
pressed was universal. The outcome
is felt to be a splendid vindication of
Bowdoin's debating work. especially
when it is remembered that two men
who are considered among the most
able debater in college were unable to
compete on account of illness.
Announcement was made in chapel
this morning that William j. Bryan
would address the students of Bowdoln
College in Memorial hall at 1920 Mon
day morning. While no notice has yet
been given to that effect, arrangements
will doubtless be made for adjourn
ment in all courses at that hour.

who has been spending several weeks in
Maine, will go to Boston Friday. He
will next spend three or four months in

John + Moody. for p years principal
of Edward Little High school of Auburn,
has rendered his resignation, to take eff

some misunderstanding between the
school board and Principal Moody as to
whether his resignation takes place in
1907 or 1905 Executive sessions have been
frequent during the past year ana among
other things considered at some length
has been the principalship. Some men,
bers. understanding that Mr.. Moody was
to retire this June, were In favor of elect
ing a new principal to begin his duties
in September, 1907. The resignation of
Principal Moody changes the situation.
Others still urge the election of a success

The general feeling is believed to be in
favor Of retaining Principal Moody until
June, 1908.

Today on Western Trip.
BoWdoin Men Elated at Outcome Of
Debate at Syracuse.

Lewiston. Me-, April 25.-(SpeciaD.-
That the Bates students feel elated
over the showing Capt. Exc and his
men have been making thus far is
stating it mildly. Judging from the
showing they made against Tufts and
Andover everyone is confident that
Harvard would have had no great
circh has she played Bates yesterday.
Capt. Exc felt keenly disappointed over
the cancellation Of the game, for it
was his desire to pitch one more game
against Harvard with a good team be-
hind him before he should graduate.
Eatcs feels proud of her young pitcher.
Hartman, who by his GOODNESS and
skill has already given good sample
Of his. bilty. The work Of Rogers in
the AndOver- Bates game in pitching a
winring game after being unable to
play in any game before during the
present season is worthy an especial
comment. Bridges, '08, center fielder, is
a valuable addition to the team as his
past experience in that line will SHOW.
During his fitting school days at
Bucksport Seminary he Won reputa-
ton as Il hitter and many is the time
that Eddie Connors, Bates greatest
athlete has spoken Of those 'devillsh
long hits, clean over the old fort at
Castine" that ne had seen Bridges
make.
Du~inp his Freshman year at Bates
bridges didn't enter into athletics, but
the following summer he played short
nd led that
team in batting. In his Sophomore sum-
Nor term of 1906 he taught at Houltoh'
This prevented his playing ball at
Bates During the summer he was cap
tain and manager of the Houlton team,
which played such teams as Pressure
Isle and Fairfield. He led this
whole league in getting the highest bat
ting average of all. Some good hitting
is expected Of him this term.
Stone, the old Bowdoin catcher, helps
the team so per cent, for he knows ev-
cry detail of the game, is one of the
best men behind the bat, in the out
field or On first base, and is Il great
hitter. Although he cannot play in any
of the championship games he will
play in all of the others and thus add
greatly to the batting qualities of the
team. For the past several years he has
figured prominently in the Trolley
League games and last year he caught
for Biddeford with whom Johnson,
wilder Higgins and Wiley and Stone
also played.
Little Cobb, who has been playing at
short during Wilder's illness, is by no
means a slow player. He has one of the
best eyes for the ball either at bat or
on the diamond and his throwing is
always accurate. AS a sub he is man
vino can be put into most any posi-
tion ard make a good showing.
Freshman Cole at second although
not having much experience as yet. is
showing up fine and doubtless will
make a far better man at that position
than Kendall or Wight The other men
ar old men and have made their debut
in Maine college games before. a good
soasun is to he expected of the team If
present omenS are reliable.
