with Congressman aIontaguc.

One day this week the matter OF Sc
Letting n site for the post-office will
be taken up with Congressman Monta-
que by several public spirited citizens.
Several business men who are kecnly
interested in the project have Informed
Postmastr Thornton that they have
come to realize that the time for def
mite action Is at hand, and that to sup
port the plan to add another wing to
the present structure means that the
city Will lose for long time the pro-
posed new building.
Postmaster Thornton stated yester-
day that many who have heretofore
favored the acquisition OF the Eleventh
Street property have changed their
minds. and are now strongly In favor
of the new building.

Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company to furnish the board with an
estimate OF the cost OF supplying the
city with private branch telephone

The private branch exchange In the
city Hall Is one of the most needed

certain person or want to register n

scene of the derailment. The pas
senpers were then transferred to
this train and were brought to st.

and 10000 horses will be shipped
from Portland this summer. The
horses will be taken from Portland

pairing for it.
If the above report proves true, it
will greatlysbenefit local people, in
asmuch as it will Increase the local

Hinman Residence at
North Stratford Burned

The H. B. Hinman homestead at
North Stratford was totally destroy
ed by fire last Friday afternoon.
Most of the contents were saved.
Smoke was discovered pouring
from the gable of the house at about
$3.50 O'Clock, and a large crew of
men at once responded to the alarm.
Although they worked valiantly, the
fire had already reached beyond
their control They at once turned
their attention to the fine residence
of H. L. Hinman, which they were
able to save, in spite of the strong
wind blowing directly from the burn
ing building.
The contents of the H. B. Hinman
house were moved to the Baptist
Church opposite The house, barn
and carriage shed were destroyed,
and they comprised one of the best
sets OF, buildings in North Stratford.
They were built by Henry Bowman
about thirty years ago. o. H. Dan
forth later purchased the property,
and he in turn sold it to the late H.
B. Hinman about twenty years ago.
He remodeled it into modern and
up-to-date residence, land it was being
occupied by Miss Harriette Hinman.
The loss will be considerable, altho
there was some insurance. A new
residence will probably be built to
replace the one destroyed.
