600, 600 belonged to the company. The
company was protected to the amount
of about $3,000,000 in insurance on the
buildings and contents-the rest is a to-

to ascertain, no one was killed or seri-

subsequent explosions which took place

that 1t is possible if not probable, the
fire was of inCendiary origin. The oiti-
GERS of the company do not wish to make
any further statement with regard to this
until the Investigations are completed
1T is quite possible that the buildings
will not be reconstructed. The entire
plant was most carefully guarded and
every safeguard known to science had
been installed, and every possible pro-
vision to safeguard the adjoining prem
ises against injuries resulting from ex-
plosions.
The company had secured insurance
in favor of the inhabitants OF Kinrsland

the fire are somewhat exaggerated and

ELECTORAL VOTE

Washington, JAN 12.--Beecher Putnam
of Houlton, messenger to deliver the acc
torai vote of Maine, arrived with unsea.
ed returns and without certificate or hi.
appointment as required by law. Presi-
dent Pro Tempore of Senate salisbury
decided to accept the electoral vote as
delivered so far as permitting Putnam
to leave the pa pers and collect mileage
but assumed no responsibility as to lie
gality of the irregular manner of making
the returns.
Putnam had an unsealed copy OF the
proceedings of the meeting Of electors
but lacked certificate as messenger.
The United States law requires a sealed
copy of the certificate. President Pro
Tempore Salisbury informed Putnam
that the error regarding the Maine vote
could not be corrected here but would
rest with Maine and could be accepted
only as irregular.
Senators Johnson and Fernald intro
duced Putnam and endorsed his state
ments as to appointment as messenger,
but it will be left for the joint session
of Congress when the electoral vote is
presented as a whoI. to accept the Maine
vote for Hughes and Fairbanks on the
irregular return or decline to accept it
unless correction is made previously by
Maine electors. There IS no means OF as

HWorks Both WAYS"

The getting Of two distinct values
when purchasing one article applies
pretty generally in the field of mer-
chandise these times. extending even
unto liniments. While most articles of
this nature are intended for external
use only, a notable exception is the
famous Johnson's Anodyne Liniment.
Powerful enough for every requirement
of outside application when needed for
sprains. strains, muscular rheumatism,
all aches. pains. and soreness, it is. in
addition. q wonderfully effective prep
aration for internal use in the cases Of
colds, coughs. sore throat, cramps,
chills, etc, when necessary that its re-
markable soothing and healing quail
ties go direct to the seat Of an inward
trouble. Thus. in Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment you get two in one--internal
and external use-the double value

years of splendid service to humanity

scription a household word. and pres

Mexicans' Attitude

force need not prevent the commits

that at least a Part of the Mexican

When negotiations looking to a set

questions to be urged by the MeXicans
Will be in regard to the embargo or
arms and ammunition. Carranza has
protested against the refusal to per-

TWO HORSES FALL FROM
CAR NEAR RIVERSIDE
AND ONE IS KILLED

One horse of a carload of II which
were shipped on the eastbound freight
train Thursday morning by Henry F.
Cummings Of Manchester to Hopkins
Bros. of Fort Fairfield came to an I'M
timely end shortly after the train had
left Augusta and another horse in the
lot narrowly escaped the same fate,
both of the animals having fallen from
the car in which they had been ship
ped. Just what caused the accident is
not known but in some way one Of the
car doors was forced off at the bottom
and the animals in lurching against it
fell out of the car.
The first horse to fall out was a red
roam gelding weighing 1900 pounds and
he took a tumble when the train was
about two miles west of Riverside but
was apparently uninjured by his fall
for he was found later by Joseph Der
rill Of Sidney walking along the track
toward Riverside. The horse was cap
tured and taken to Riverside where
yesterday he was looked over by a
veterinary and it is expected that to-
day he may be reshipped to Fort Fair
field.
The other horse, which was chest
nut mare weighing about 1850 pounds
and was one Of a pair. fell from the
car at about half mile west of Riv-
ersde. ard was so badly injured that
she lived but few minutes after her
fall. 1t was reported at first that she
had broken her back but at present il
is believed that she received internal
injuries. Where the horse fell from
the car is place where handcars are
set off beside the track and it is
thought that perhaps the animal
struck this as she fell. The accident
was a most unusual one
