A TOTAL LOSS
Fertilizer Factory at
Bowdoinham Is Burned.
Loss Is $4,000, Partially
Covered By Insurance.
Seventy.fIve Hands are Thrown
Out Of Employment.

RCwdoin, Me-, Aug. 26-(SpeciaD.-
The mixing plant of the Sagadahoc
Fertilizer Co.. valued at about $4,000.
was totally destroyed by fire early this
known. 1t was discovered about
o'clock, but had gained too much head
way for any part of the plant to be
saved.
An alarm was given at once and in
short time the hand engine owned
by the town, was on the scene and
throwing water on the burning struc-
ture as fast as the men could work the
brakes.
The efforts of the firefighters, des-
perate as they We're, We're wholly in
sufficient to extingush the flames be-
fore the place had been burned to the
ground. AS soon as it was seen that
the plant could not be saved the vol
attention to saving neighboring build
ings, wetting them down thoroughly
so that the flying sparks would not
use a spread of the fire.
The flames mounted high in the air
and could be seen for miles in every
direction. The fire was 50 hot that the
firemen could not get close enough to
attempt to save anything from out of
the buildings. AS the fire gained head
way them were forced to retreat
to a greater distance from the seeth-
ing mass of fire but continued to pour
water into the blazing building.
But little Roadway against the flames
could be made with the means at hand,
the stream from the hand engine
having seemingly no effect. The fire rag
ed until it had burned itself out and then
there was nothing to save, a pile of
smoudering ruins being all that was left
to mark the place where yesterday had
stood prosperous factory, giving en-
ployment to % hands.
In an incredibly short time after the
flames were discovered they had spread
to nearly every part of the plant, running
valuable machinery and soon bursting
through the roof and side walls.
The insurance on the building is light.

EXHIBITION HALL.

In the Exhibition hall there is an
immense exhibit Of grain. fruits and
flowers, while not a few merchants
have secured space here believing
that they will have an opportunity
of greeting the people here than else
where.
During the past month there has
been much talk of the fruit crops be-
ing failure in Maine this year. but
from the Pathological exhibit which
is to be found at the Eastern Maine
Fair, it appears that this is not so
sadly true as was anticipated.
The sun had not kissed the Penob-
scot hills before the fair grounds were
astir. The merry sound of hammers
driving nails into the flmSy wooden
braces that were to uphold the short
lived shelters of the tented city was
heard on every hand. The buzz in
creased to a vocal murmur, broken by
the sharp Gathering of dishes in the
dining halls and tents.
The early cars brought exhibitors
who besieged the Office of the secre-
tary for the tickets which at re
duced rate would admit them and
their helpers to the fair.
At 10 A. NJ. the influx of sightseers
began The various shows on the
midway opened up for business. and
the voice OF the barker" was heard
in the land.
From this time on through the day
the crowds continued to gather for the
biggest first day in the history of the
fair.
The races We're the real starting
point of the days exercises and they
were witnessed by throngS.
