FARMINGDALE FIRE
BURNS A BARN AND
MENACES PROPERTY

Gardiner, Me-, Nov. 7.-(SpeciaD.-A fire
in the barn owned by Mrs. F. H. Well
nan, 1856 Main avenue, Farmingdale, had
reached alarming proportions when dis
covered by two men passing on the street
at about 9.45 Sunday evening. The flames
were endangering the next house on the
street. which is owned by F. H. Marshall,
and had already gained Roadway toward
the home of Mrs. Wellman, which is con-
nected by an ell with the barn. The near
ness Of the local fire department was
probably the reason for preventing a
much worse loss. The cause of the fire
is unknown and the loss is estimated at
between $500 and $1,000. 1t is believed that
some insurance on the property is held.
The owner, Mrs. F. H. Wellman. lives
in the lower part of the house where
the fire occurred and the upper tenement
is occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. F. H. Neal.

was connned to the basement Of the

went up between the partitions and
oroKe through the floor near the side
wall. A large amount of water was
poured into the basement. The prin-

fire, which the firemen were several
minutes locating. Smoke was rollinw

fire could be found at first. it finally
showing up in the space between the
ceiling and the floor of the rooms

stream from the large chemical
proved sufficient to take care of it.

in marriage at 2 P. NJ. Thursday, Nov. 4,

Richmond High school. After gradual
ing, she taught in the town schools for
a while with success; then she entered
the employ of Bell Bros, shoe manufac-
turers, where her strong personality. and

weeks ago, when she left in anticipation
of the forthcoming marriage. She is an
active member of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, much interested In the music
in which she has taken very prominent
