Montpelier Has Two Threat
ening Fires in an Hour.
FIRST ALARM AT 9 A. M.


Two calls within an hour Of each
other had the Montpelier fire depart
lnent ON che run this forenon, and IN
eacn case they found quite serious
blaze to cope with The tirst alarm was
at nine o'clock, the house Of James A.
jerome Of Franklin street being en-
dangered by fire, which started from a
gasolene stove The department had no
sooner got the apparatus housed after
subduing this outburst than it was
needed again at 26 81. Paul street, the
house Of Napoleon Moran having caught
fire, probably from a defective chimney.
The combined losses will probably be
81 600.
Mrs. Jerome and two daughters We're
doing the family ironing this morning,
and were using gasolene stove, which
was located in shed just off the kitch-
en-. When the former went to the shed
she was met by burst Of fame that
drove her back with cry Of alarm. The
lane Manufacturing company shops are
nearby, and the workmen there ran TO
the Jerome honse with hand extinguish-
ers. Just about that time, the flames
communicated to can Of kerosene and
there was an explosion forthwith. For
tunately. gasoIcne can was not touch
ed, and there was no damage from the
Iignition OF the kerosene except the inn
petus given the flames already started.
40 strong start did the flames get
that the department, which had been
called out BY Patrick Bergen's alarm
had to tight thirty minutes before get
ting them out, and that not being ae-
epmphshed until the shed and siie Of the
house we're blackcned and cnarred. The
wsek's washing Also went np ii smoke
4ise tolal damage viii DC not over $500.
The Second Fire.
Flames got into the house Of Napoleon
Moran of 90 st. Panl street by way OF q
defective chimney, which ran through a
kitchen in the rear Of the building. and
they had got rousing headwsy when
discovered. The firemsn were just re.
gaining their wind after the first effort
OF the day when the call from Moran's
was blown. The department made q
good run, as in the first case; and they
found an even harder task, as the fire
was up in an almost inaccessible gable
A garden hose did littles dous'ng and
two streams from the city water main
did more. so that by the time the flames
were exting,iished, the house looked as
ii it had passed through flood as well
as fire. In fact, the damage by water
was as severe as by fire. Much Of the
furniture was injured, although the
neiQhhors fell to and carried out some
pieces. The rear kitchen and the side
OF the house were badly burned.
The Montpelier firemen are on state
of qui vive, wondering if it is the usual
run of three alarms. Both the alarms
were SO distinctly heard in this city that
many thought the Barre alarm had beer
turned in.

FAILS TO COME TO TIME

Wednesday was the last day OF
grace allowed the Northwestern Long
Distance Telephone Company to
comply with the terms relating to
the acceptance OF the franchise voted
them recently by the city council.
This is the company which proposed
to install automatic telephones in AS
toria and in which it was thought
local capital would be interested.
According to the terms OF the fran
chisc the company was given until
October lst to accept the terms OK
same which ademanded that a deposit
Of $500 should be made on acceptance
OF the franchise by the company.
City Auditor Anderson sent a
communication to the representatives
calling their attention TO the fact
that the time limit would expire at
the close of business on September
30th. Up to closing hours last night
no reply had been received and as a
consequence the franchise has been
forfeited and, from present appear
ances, Astoria will not in the near
future have new telephone COM
pany Nothing is known as to the
reason for the failure to accept the
franchise nor what move will be
made in the matter next. Members
OF the council, it is said, have ex-
pressed themselves as favoring the
granting OF the franchise to com
uany that can show it's ability to
properly finance the proposition and
bring it to uccessful issue.
! Mr.. Waggoner, the representative
of the company, is not in the city and
his views on the matter could not b'
J obtained but it is thought that ar
explanation will be forthcoming soon

FRAzEEs ISLE OF SPICE"

Bompopka, King OF Nicobar, the
leading comedian in the isle OF
Spice" which comes to the Astoria
Theatre tonight, has a dope book
which contains an endless amount Of
clever verse. At least this is the
undivided opinion of the audiences
which witness the production, Tor
they insist upon hearing. all that's
said and then want more.
The costumes of the debilitated
king are many and ludicrous. He has
a pair of legs that look like knotted
walking sticks, with ribbon tied
tied around one to reveal the fact
that two exists.
Love is an intoxication. Marriage
is the delirium tremens," says the
much-married king, who loves only
the beautiful, but will take less come
ly if necessary.
Mickey O'Grady and Slubsy Mack
inaw, two naval deserters, drop down
upon the isle of Spice" from col
lapsed balloon, and keep the audience
in continuous mirth with their funny
pranks.
"You don't know nothing about
balloons, Mickey, when it comes tc
balloons you're all up in the air" say'
the doleful Slubsy who weeps at hi
new surroundings.
Balloons aren't on the level any
way, BOBBY" answers the fearless
Mickey The pretty girls, delightful
songs, costumes and beautiful scenic
effects are better than usually fount
in musical comedies.
