we are summoning practically all our
movable military forces in order 10

the warnings of the past three years,
il is ineXcusable that we should find
ourselves in this plight. For our
faithful guardsmen, who with fine
patriotism responded to this call and
are bearing this burden, | have
nothing but praise. But | think it
little short of absurd that we should
be compelled to call men from their
shops, their factories, their offices
and their professions for such n
purpose. This however. is not all.

There was large piazza adjoining the house. extending from the second story in the rear, and reached by an beneath this piazza. was a small skin. an empty box and nothing more. It was here the fire originated and close to the house, but the cause Is not known. The piazza extended out to a wooden garage. which held MT. adjoins a barn, which contained hay, the ordinary barn utensils and a horse. Not far from this barn in the rear in Union street. is the large wooden building known as Hibernian hall. On a line wlth the barn and facing Union street is q small frame desidence own ed by MT.

Michen's brick building occupied by the West er1y Veteran Firemen's association and Samuel Girven, with wooden buAAOil6 Just dbON0 lnO plelSO the fire occurred.
 If frebug decided upon a confia- grafton a more effective place could hardly have been selected.
 The fire was first seen by Edward Sullivan who owns and operates a public service automobile. He arous- ed the Minchen family, who rushed into the street in their night clothes as the rear end of the house was then in a blaze. MT.
