NEW FERTILIZER PLANT.
Baltimore Concern Win Expend $50, 600
at Searsport. Work to Begin at Once.

Baltimore Concern Win Expend $50, 900
at Searsport. Work to Begin at Once.
Contracts for building the new pier
and warehouse at Mack's point, Sears
port, for the Hubbard Fertilizer Co. of
Baltimore were closed last week. j. F.
Specimen of Bangor received the con-
tract for $500 to build the pier, which
will be 600 feet long and extend into
Searsport harbor short distance below
and parallel with the present pier of the
American Agricultural Chemical Co. and
the extreme terminus of the Northern
Seaport railroads tracks. It will have
at the outer end tower for the support
of the cables of the electric holster and
conveyor, by which the bulk fertilizer is
taken from vessels and carried to the
warehouse.
The contract for building the store
house, which will be of frame construc-
ton, ITO by ITO feet, two stories, on con-
crete piers, has been awarded to George
Weymouth of Stockton Springs for $1O,-
700. There were several other bidders.
Both contractors are bonded as to time
limits, as the company must have the
PldHt Ill OPcI dtiOu Wy JoHudIy ISL W Hldhc
deliveries for the 1910 season, and has
already made contracts in Northern
Maine. The capacity of the plant will
be for the handling Of about 200 tons a
day. The bulk fertilizer of the several
kinds made by the company will come in
schooners and barges, be discharged by
the conveyor to the building and there
barrelled or bagged and loaded for ship
ment on cars at the building, which will
be built close to the Northern Seaport
tracks, which will be extended to accom-
modate the new works. The company
expects to handle 10000 tons this season.
The contractors must begin work at
once in order to complete the work in
the specified time, which will give en-
ployment to considerable labor, as will
the plant when in operation. Local labor
will be employed as much as possible.
Walter P. Summers, representing the
company, has been making his head
quarters in Bangor for some time.

The Bramhall Building Burned.

CAMDEN, Oct. 13. The fire gong sound
ed about o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing and the Bramhall building in Atlantic
avenue was nearly destroyed. Louis
Bramhall, the owner, started fire in the
boiler for the purpose of cleaning it for
winter use. He went to the rent in the
upper part of the building which he
occupies and in a very short time the
building was in flames. Only a few
things were saved and Mr.. Bramhall
was obliged to come down by means of a
rope. His wife and two children are in
Pittsburg, Pa. In addition to the loss of
home he also has lost his boat building
and skating rink which was in the same
building. Had the fire been allowed a
Roadway the boat buildings Of John
Daley and the house of Mrs. John J.
Borland, which contained her valuable
steam yacht, the Monaloa, would have
been destroyed and the loss heavy one.
The building was badly damaged and Mr..
Bramhall saved only a few things. Every
thing was covered by insurance.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES

The little country clergyman had Just
read that very charming anecdote now
gong the rounds of the press telling how
Mr.. John W. Gates, the other day, on
meeting the minister who had married
him forty years ago, after greeting him
warmly said to him:
when you married me l only gave
you ive-dollar fee, but I'll make up
for it now, and drawing out his check
book he drew and presented to the as
tonished clergyman a draft for a thous-
and dollars.
The little country clergyman rubbed
his eyes when he read this, and then he
read it aloud to his wife.
THAT is perfectly Splendid" he said.
S'It certainly is, !" replied the good lady.
"By the way, Henry, didn't you tell me
that it was you who married Josephine
Hickenlooper to Colonel Bullion of the
Single Trust?'
eyes: it was thirty-fve years ago.
He paid me two dollars for tying the
knot, returned the clergyman.
E'Well, l should say" said the good
lady, ''that if these millionaires are
going to make habit of this thing it
wouldn't be bad idea for you to meet
the colonel casually some day and remind
him of it.
Curious coincidence, said the little
minister, ''but do you know, Marie,
was thinking that very same thing my

while this anecdote is fresh in the public
mind, and sort of get in touch with
Colonel Bullion. Who knows but that
he has just read it himself and is think

Hence it was that the next morning
found the Reverend Henry lingering
about the portals of the massive office
building in which Colonel Bullion attend
ed to business, and sure enough along
about eleven O'Clock the impressive fig
ure of the colonel was to be seen making
its way through the crowded highway.
why, Bill, how are your" said the
Reverend Henry, extending his hand, as
Bullion entered the corridor.
Morning said the colonel, glover
ing at him darkly, and trying to get by.
You don't seem to remember me,
Bill said the Reverend Henry. Don't
you remember that I married YOU to
Josephine

the statement made by g. n. Wellger
when VIM. Prescott demanded his bus
mess after arousing from a sound
slumber in his apartments upstairs in
the Prescott hotel yesterday afternoon
at about 4 o'clock.
Some jewelry dropped from the
sleeve of the stranger and then Mr..
Prescott made known his identity and
a scuffle ensued Wellger drew a
knife, backed out OF the room and
made his escape. Dashing through
alleys he got over to the Wellington
flats, visiting the third floor of that
apartment house. All that he got there
was a package OF laundry.
The police were notified and Chief
Grant and Captain Dahlgren respond
ed. They located the man at the
corner of First avenue and Eighth
street south. where he was standing
in q most upconcern- manner. The
captain conducted little cross ex-
animation and decided the right man
had been caught. Mr.. Prescott's ap-
pearance settled all doubt.
A warrant was issued charging as
sault with a dangerous weapon. II
is possible that other charges win be
preferred. He viii be given q hear
ing in the police court, probably this

After having made trip OF approx

$4,000 LOSS in
|. TOzIER STORE FIRE
DRY GOODS STOCK DAMAGED BY
SMOKE AND WATER TO CON-
SIDERABLE EXTENT - ExPLo.
SION or OIL LAMP BELIEVED
TO BE THE CAUSE.

| About $4,000 worth Of dry goods
was destroyed and damaged to such
an extent TO be worthless last evening
when FIRE broke out in the Tozier Dry
goods house, ia Broadway. about 8
O'Clock. The fire is believed 70 have
originated by the explosion of an oil
lamp which is left burning on the
cashiers desk.
A still alarm was turned in by ON
| Ger Chas. Coleman. who was not aware
OF the extent of the flames. The hook
and ladder with the large chemical
responded and later the hose cart was
called. The intense smoke made fire
fighting difficult in the extreme. The
damage was confined by careful work
OF the flremen, to the one section of
the store. Apartments upstairs were
damaged by smoke only.
The following statement was made
this morning by p. @. Tozier:
1T is impossible to give a definite
estimate of the loss sustained at the
fire in my store last night but I should
judge 1t at between $4,000 and $12,-
600.
Most of the damage will be due to
soke and water as the fire did not
spread very far from the desk in the
the north central part OF the store.
The linen and towel departments as
well as the waist and skirt depart
ments were not affected.
THE firemen did extremely we'll and
deserve to be very highly compliment
d. I wonder that they could find the
source OF the trouble, put out the fire
and do it with the use of so little wat
er comparatively.
"As to the cause of the fire cannot
say. The firemen believe IT was due to
the explosion of the oil lamp which we
have left burning on my desk each
night for the past thirty years. Mr..
Rudd says he is positive that the lamp
was properly placed and trimmed
when he left the store last night SO
ir seems to have been one of those
wholly unaccountable and unavoidable
accidents
Il am informed that adjustors will
be here in a day or two. Until they
are through the store will be closed"

SPECIAL FARGO
TROPHY FOR TOUR
STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT ONE
WILL BE PUT UP BY LOCAL
AUTOMOBILE ENTHU sIAsTs
FOR THE TWIN CITY TO FARGO
AUTO RUN.

There is q strong possibility that
local automobile enthusiasts assisted
by the business men of the city, will
get into the game and hang up a nice
trophy In the way of a suitably en-
graved silver cup as a special prize
in the Twin city to Fargo auto tour.
The idea has met with favor with
those to whom 1t was preached by The
Forum and one of the prominent off,
cials Of the Commercial club stated
that that organization might assist in
getting such trophy.
The Twin city to Fargo auto tour,
known as the Little GIidden or the ST
Paul Dispatch trophy tour has met
with an enthusiastic reception among
Twin city autoists and there is no
doubt but what it will be a marked
success. This will depend largely on
the condition of the roads but as the
unsettled weather seems to be practi-
cally over 1t is probable that the run
win be made on good roads In that
event there will undoubtedly be very
nearly, if not quite, 100 machines in
the tour.
Naturally the more successful the
tour the better for Fargo. 1t will be
a big advertisement for this city in
any event Fargo is to be the terminus
OF the run. 1t stands out in all the
publicity given the event almost as
strongly as the Twin cities from which
the start will be made.
The matter of hanging up a Fargo
trophy was suggested last evening to
several Of the auto enthusiasts of the
city and every one to whom 1t was
mentioned was enthusiastic over the
proposition. Many also went farther
and volunteered to assist, by putting
up money with which to purchase such
q trophy.
