THE UPHAM BUILDINGS BURNED. The out
of-town alarm about +. m. Tuesday was for d
fire in the Upham buildings on Belmont ave-
nue.. The fire department responded prompt
ly but the fire had gained such Roadway that
it was impossible to save the buildings and the
about sounded at 6,35. 1t is very sad case
Mr.. Upham died April Goth, and Mrs Upham
was remaining in Belfast to dispose of the
farm, which they bought of John F. Chapman
in 1910. At the time of the fire her five chill
dren were with Mrs. H. j. Morris, a neghbor.
and Mrs. Upham was with her sister, Mrs. M.
C. Murch, Bridge street. When Mrs. Upham
left the house it was securely locked and the
only person on the premises was man she
had employed to saw wood. The fire caught
in the barn next the house and both were soon
burned to the ground Mrs. Upham lost $50 in
money which she had left in a Bible in closet
in her room and nothing vas taken from the
closet. There was an insurance of $500 on the
buildings and $500 on the furnishings. about
goods were saved and taken to the Morris
home. Much sympathy is extended Mrs. Up
ham in this misfortune. She will leave soon
with her four little boys and little daughter to
make her home with her husbands parents.
