FIRE The alarm of fire at 1890 Monday
noon brought out the fire department to fire
in the buildings of Dean Clement on North
Searsport avenue, one and a half miles from
the village. The fire was outside of the hy-
drant limits and the hand tub Phineas Pende-
ton was hauled by horses, but the fire had got
such Roadway that the buildings were entirely
consumed. The fire is supposed to have caught
from defective chimney. Insured for $1,000.
These buildings were built about rs years ago
by the late Gilman Piper, well known cabinet
maker and wood-worker on Half Way Brook,
he made all the wheels, deck plugs, small rail-
ings, and wedges for the launching Of vessels
in Searsport for over fifty years. He also had
connected with the mill pond of about two
acres which many years ago was great resort
for local fishermen, the pond abounded in
and kept for his own private use and for the
local fishermen whom he allowed to fish on the
preserve, where he entertained them royalty,
they all went well supplied with bait for
the trout and other bats which were necessary
to make days outing enjoyable by the lake
side
