HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Written for The American by Mem
bers of e. II. S. Press Club.
The entertainment last Friday evening
by the Moon dramatic company was given
rather better attendance than the first
one, but it was barely sufficient to pay
the expenses of the company, and added
practically nothing to the book fund
No dance was given, as not enough people
remained to make it worth while.

THIRTY-Two HORSES BURNED.
Stable of Nathan Ash, at Washington
Iuuafsor I1.x..ad La

Stable of Nathan Ash, at Washington
Junction, Burned Friday night.
Thirty-two horses were burned to death
in fire which destroyed Nathan Ash's
stable and farm buildings at Washington
Junction shortly before midnight last FRI
day night. The buildings were what is
known as the Phillips place, though the
stable had been greatly enlarged, and was
used by Mr.. Ash as winter stable for his
horses which he uses in his livery business
at Bar Harbor summers.
The stable was all ablaze inside when
the fire was first discovered, and those
first on the scene were unable to save any
of the horses. The fire spread from the
stable to the ell of the house and then to
the main house, and all the buildings
were burned fat.
family by name of Mitchell, occupy
ing part of the house, saved their fur
niture. The loss is estimated at around
$500; partially covered by insurance.
The fire is generally believed to have
been of incendiary origin. Those first at
the fire said it appeared to them as if the
fire had been started in several parts of
the building at the same time. An inves-
tigation is being made.
