FIRE IN TRANSIT.
Hose / Extinguished Brisk Blaze
Wednesday Morning on Freight Car.

An extra of freight train No. 342
which goes west from Augusta at
about 10 A. NJ, was the cause at about
8 o'clock Wednesday morning of a
still alarm being sent in for assistance
by the Augusta fire department on ac-
count of a brisk fire in a carload of
lumber waste. The trouble was on
Maine Central car 6212, which had been
made up into the train at Kennebec
along with number of other cars
loaded with pulp wood from the S. D.
Warren Co. mill, the car in question
having been loaded at the Boyd &
Harvey shingle and tie mill and con-
signed to the Cushnoc Paper Co. of
this city.
On the way to Augusta, which is
little over four miles, the carload of
waste caught fire, probably from
spark from the locomotive, and on the
arrival of the train at Augusta the
draft of air had famed the blaze to a
size that rendered it beyond the control
of the train crew and also threatened
damage to the cars next to that on
which the trouble was. The train was
stopped in front of the passenger sta
ton and an attempt was made to put
the fire out with the station hose, but
this proving inadequate a telephone cali
was sent from the station to the hose
house on Bridge street, to which Hose
1 responded.
Hose was quickly laid from the by
drant in front of the Purinton building
and under the direction of Assistant
Engineer Marston the blaze was quick
ly drowned out to the extent that it
was no longer dangerous, although
there was still fire in the waste. As
the train was on the westbound track
and Train Ga, which goes west at 9.3S.
was soon due. the train was sent down
into the lower yard and off the main
line, where the carload of waste was
set off, after which the waste was
pitched off and afterward reloaded to
be taken over to the Cushnoc mill and
burned.

TOUCHING TRIBUTE
TO JUDGE PLAISTED

Teh Bangor Daily News. In its issue OF
Wednesday, June a. speaking of the
death of Judge Ralph Parker Plaisted'
paid the following touching tribute:
The death of Judge Plaisted is attend
ed by circumstances of unusual pathos,
Only on Monday hes had arranged with
his classmate, County Attorney Donald
F. Snow, to go to Brunswick TO attend
the goth anniversary of. their class-Bow-
dom College. 1894, On Monday his wife
and child had gone with his brother, for
mer Gov Frederick M Plaisted, in the
latter's automobile to Augusta, where on
Wednesday morning she was to join her
husband for the trip to Brunswick, leav-
ing the little boy with his uncle. Thus
1t was a terrible shock to Mrs. Plaisted
when the news of the tragedy at nome
was telephoned to Augusta Tuesday eve
ming.
Mrs. Plaisted and child. accompanied
by former Governor Plaisted, returned to
Bangor by train Tuesday night.
There never was anything but praise
for Judge Plaisted at City hall-not only
praise, but real affection.
Judge Plaisted was devoted member
of St Johns Episcopal church, was ac-
tive in the affairs of the parish and held
several offices, including that of treas
urer. He was a member of St. Andrews
Lodge, F. and A. NJ, Mount Mortah
Royal Arch chapter, of the Madocka-
wando Club, the ,Condeskeag Canoe and
Country Club. secretary of the Associat-
ed Charities. and direct r Ct the Young
Mems Christian. Association.
In his college days he WIS noted
baseball pitcher and one year he pitched
his team to the Maine college champion
ship. He was one OF the prime movers
in the organization OF the canoe club,
and was devoted to out of door life and
sports.
On June 49, 1905, Judge Plaisted mar
ried Miss Frances f Sargent. daughter
of Hon. and Mrs. d Allston Sargent of
Brewer, who survives him, with one
child, Harris Merrill Plaisted aged four
years. Other surviving relatives are two
brothers-Harold Mason Plaisted of St.
Louis. Mo-, and Hon Frederick W. Plais-
ted, former governor of Maine, and now
postmaster of Augusta; his step-mother,
Mrs Mabel T. Plaisted, and a step-s!ster,
Miss Gertrude Plaisted, who are touring
Europe, being at present in Switzerland.
It is stating no more than the sad truth
to say thai the tragic dea'h of Ralph
Plaisted caused a painful shock and pro-
found sorrow TO this community in gen
eral, for if ever thee lived man in
whose heart and soul glowed the light
of geniality and the warmth of Christian
kindness, Ralph Plasted was one. He
was alike to everyboSy-high or low, of
whatever statien-the ideal gentleman,
never effusive, but always courteous and
considerate, and t. know him was TO
stand in the sunshine of real friendship.
OF him there will be fond memories
and for his sorrowing re.stives deep SYM
pathy. That his goed and useful life
should be thus cut short, that his sunny
presence is no longer TO cheer those who
knew and low him. is much to be
mourned. but the life that he lived and
the good that he. did will soften the sor-
row that his death has brought and shine
as an example to .be admired.
