fire that is believed to have been caused
by defective chimney. The loss is es-
timated at from SIS, 900 to 100000. with an
insurance of $500. There We're IS guests
in the house at the time the fire broke
out but all made their escape safely. al
though many Of them did not have time
to dress and nearly all of them We're UNI
able to save any of their personal eff

The fire broke out about Gay break in

chimney and quickly worked downwards.
spreading quickly throughout the wooden
building. The hotel employees quickly
aroused all the guests who were not al
ready awake. and the hotel was vacated
in few moments.
The water supply in that part Of the
town where the hotel was located was
unsatisfactory and the firemea were
greatly handicapped in their efforts to
s,,bdue the flames. In n short time the
building had been burned fiat.
The hotel was owned by a stock COM
pany composed principally of Lee bust
ness men. The w. D. Sloan estate of
New York was one of the heaviest hold
ers of stock. The house was built about
five years ago and for the past three
years had been under the management of
H. c. Savage. In summer it was used as
a hotel for summer visitors, while in the
winter time many of the townspeople
boarded there. There were also several
transient guests at the hotel last night

not wilfully over-certify the checks,
as he had drawn a check to the credit

books until a day after the certihcation
of the checks In question.

GIRL DISAPPEARS,
Jane Colby, Good Will Farm Girl, Cuts
Loose from Institution.

Hinckley. Me, Jan. 7.-(SpeciaD. -.
Jane Colby, aged Is years, a native of
Boston and a member of the Girls
department at Good Will Farm, has
disappeared. She in company with
two other girls from the farm and
attended by Supt. Axel Jackson went
to Waterville on shopping tour Mon
day afternoon. Some time was passed
in visiting the different dry goods
stores and nothing in the demeanor OF
the Colby girl indicated that she was
looking for an opportunity to run
away. While in one Of the larger of
the dry goods establishments aud
while MT. Jackson's attention was at
tracted in one of the departments the
Colby girl quietly slid out through the
main entrance and disappeared.
1t was at first believed that she had
gone off on little shopping tour OF
her own and considerable time was
lost in trying to locate her in some of
the stores. When the hour for the re-
turn to the farm approached Supt.
Jackson gave up his quest and with
the other two girls came back here.
The Colby girl had been at the
farms for little more than a year She
has generally behaved very well, but
a short time since had a little alterca-
ton with one of the matrons and to
this is ascribed the cause for her dis
appearance.
The description of the girl today
was given to the police of Waterville.
The girl was dressed in long brown
coat and felt hat trimmed with velvet.
Whether the girl has in any way saved
money to a sufficient amount for car
fare to Boston is not known. She is
known to have several young acquain-
tances in Waterville whom she has
met while they We're visiting at the
farm and it is possible that she may
have induced some Of them to take
her in for few days. While at the
farm the girl was we'll treated and
was considered one of the brightest of
the many girls at Good Will.

OTHER ARRESTS
May Naturally Be Expected to Follow
That Of Heinxe.

Washington. Jan. 7.-Referring to
the arrest today in New York of F.
Augustus Heinze, Mr.. Ridgely. the
comptroller of the currency, said he
knew nothing about the details of this
particular transaction. He had no
doubt that the action brought today
was one of the results of the investi-
cation of the affairs Of the Mercantile
National Bank. When questioned as ~
whether he looked for other arrests
on other charges. Mr. Ridgely said
that it was rare thing for national
bank to fail without the officers hav-
ing violated the national bank acts
and while he knew Of no specific case
Of fraud in that connection he would
not be surprised if other cases were
brought to light.
