The fire started in hay shed of the
j. Frank Green building, on Broad
street, and in short time was sweep
ing through the city in a northwesterly
direction.
The flames made inroads of nearly
mile into the best residential section of
Broadway, Center and West streets.
Half an hour after the first alarm,
nearly dozen buildings were in flames
and the fire was eating its way north
erly on either side of Kenduskeag
stream
The city was soon shut off from tee
phone communication by the burning of
the central office, and calls for aid from
Portland, Lewiston and Augusta were
sent out by the wire chief of the com
pany, who climbed pole and cut in on
a tyunk line. The telegraph company S
Offices were both burned early IN The
confagration, but later it established
temporary offices outside the fire zone,
and communication was restored.
Second Fire Doubles the Peril.
In addition to the fire at the corner
of Broad and Exchange streets, the fire.
men found blaze in bicycle repair
shop in the rear of the telephone Office.
Both fires spread with such rapidity
that the fremen were helpless.
One of the few buildings to escape
destruction was the city hall. This was
in the direct path of the fire, but the
flames leaped over it and it was hardly
scorched.
At this point the flames crossed the
Kenduskeag stream and continued along
both sides of the stream.
AS the fire burned north the path of
destruction widened, while sparks set
innumerable fires, many of them con-
siderable distance from the main con-
fagration.
An attempt was made to stay the
progress of the flames by dynamiting
several blocks, but the fire bridged the
chasm and continued with undated
fury.
Help from outside cities began to
arrive soon after clock, the Augusta
department being the first and to it was
assigned the duty of saving the resi-
dence district, if possible.

Flames Spread Rapidly.

Hardly had the train come to a stop
before the fire started and spread so
rapidly that some of the imprisoned
passengers are believed to have burned
to death. AS the train left the track
it broke a tank of oil, which ran over
the wreckage and added to the fury of
the flames.
Physicians were called from here
and every town within radius of 10
miles and went to the scene in auto
mobiles and special trains Twenty
minutes after the accident there was a
score of physicians on the ground.
Every farmhouse near was quickly
transformed into an impromptu hospi-
tai and farmers and wagons were
pressed into service as ambulances.
Many of the injured remain with the
farmers and at the Martin IS Creek no.
tel. Telegraph and telephone wires
were torn away and for some time it
was impossible to reach the outer
world.
Willing hands speedily began the
work of rescue. Unconscious victims.
pinioned beneath the wreckage, with
the flames leaping toward them, were
rescued with great risk to their own
lives by the less seriously injured.
One young woman was found in a
hysterical condition, singing and dane
ing ON the track half mile from the
scene of the wreck. She was cut, bruised
and burned.
