on it alone. They lost control of the
raft and were being carried into deeL-

river bank. In rushing under a foct
bridge Mrs. Barry grasped the span
and hung on until strong arms pulled
her up. .ssNEgas1@z,yy

WORK IS TO BEGIN
ON NEW BUILDING
ACME BREWING COMPANY TO PUT
UP THREE-STORY STRUCTURE
ON GLOUCESTER ST.

The Acme Brewing company will.
on September 1, begin work on the
erection of a handsome three-story
brick building at the corner of Glou-
cester and Grant streets. The store
now standing on this site, occupied
by j. H. Morgan, will be torn down
in order to give way for the new
structure.
This building was purchased by the
Acme Brewing company from B. Pa
drosa several months ago and at the
time of the purchase the new own
ers announced that this fall they
would construct a new building on
the site, but We're undecided at the
time as to whether it would be a
two or three-story building.
1t is understood that the company
has decided upon three-story build
ing, the first floor to be a large and
handsome store, while the second and
third stories will probably be equipped
for handsome offices. The site is one
of the most desirable in the city and
no doubt the company will easily find
renters for all three stories of the
building. tr 1r.i
