A Fiefy Day ID Maine.

Losses aggregsting . quarter OF mil.
lion dollars resulted from three fires In
different parts of the state OF Maine FRI
day. The heaviest damage was at Fair
field, where the Hume & Newhall saw
mills, valued at $3.50. 900, were destroyed.
but the most widespread destruction
was at Harrington, where 81 buildings,
including IL dwelling houses, church,
two schools, the town ball and Grange
Hall, and other buildings went up 10
flames. The loss there is estimated to
be $4,000.
At Livermore Falls 10 families were
made homeless by fire which Destroyed
eight houses and damaged three Others
to such an extent as to make them un'
inhabitable. The loss. however, was
small, being placed at $4,000.
Lack of rain throughout the state
leaving everything dry, caused the fires
to burn much more flercely and In each
instance it was only by the most heroic
methods that they we're controlled. The
Harrington FIRE Is thought to have start
ed from grass fire set by children but
the cause OF the other two has not YET
been positively determined.

"No License" Movement Organized
ACTIVE AND WELL ORDERED WORE
WILL BE DONE TO KEEP THE PRO-
HIBITORY AMENDMENT.

The churches, various temperance
societies and other organizations are
commencing active work in organizing
and bringing to the front the mo Lii
cense Movement"
The question that has recently been
submitted to the citizens Of Maine by
the Legislature, to see il they will vote
to amend the constitution by striking
out the prohibltory clause, is going to
receive much attention. This is not a
political move either directly or indirect
". Republicans, Democrats and Pro-
hibitionists look at ii as a great moral
question, and all feel that should the
constitution be so amended il would
mean a license law in this state which
but few actually desire.
The movement against so amending
the constitution is called the mo Ii
cense Movement" A state chairman
and county chairman and ops-hundred
or more honorary or advisory members
are being selected to take charge Of the
movement. Also in each county it is
expected to have committee from each
town to effect its organization and to put
the proper literature in the hands OF the
people and otherwise aid the cause.
Hon. Adam P. Leighton, eI-mayor OF
Portland, has consented TO act as state
chairman. George W. Norton, ESQ, OF
the Portland Express, is to be the score
tary Of the state organization and j. X.
Libby of Portland, the well known
Temperance advocate, has consented 10
act as treasurer. Hon. George ID. Bis
bee, Of Rumford, will act as state chair
man for Oxford County, and the honor
airy or advisory committee who will act
with Mr.. Bisbee, according to iuforma
ton given the Democrat by him, consists
of Hon. A. E. Stearns Of Rumford, Y. A,
.Thurston of Andover, NJ. l.. Thurston OF
Bethel, Prof. VIM. E. Sargent of Hebron,
Hon. Edward <. Hastings of Fryeburg,
Joseph Jones, the well known CONNER
cial man of South Paris, John Reed of
Roxbury, Geo. X. Morton of South
Paris, and II. d. Smith, Esq, OF
Norway. This committee politically
consists of several Of the leading Demo-
Gratis of the county and also Of the lead
Ing Republicans. All are we'll known
business men and are anxious to put
their shoulder to the wheel and bear
their part of the burden in caring for this
great moral issue.
A thorough organization of the county
will be made, and it Is expected that
positions on the committees will be &C
cepted by men Of all parties In the
several towns. The people are fully
alive to the issue.
