Ellsworth had another fire scare last
Friday evening. about $40 o'clock, when
fire again threatened the row of frame
buildings on the north side OF Main
street. A gale OF wind was blowing, and
had the fire gained headway, q more dis
astrous fire than either OF the two fires
recently in the same row OF buildings
would have resulted. This fiIo started in
. -oom in the rear OF the Donovan restau-
rant building and back Of David Friends
store, used as a wood room. The shed
was close to F. II O-good's livery stable.
The FIRE bad gained good start when
discovered, hut the fir-rnen were quickly
on hsnf and qusnchea it before it could
break through and threaten adjoining
buildings. The loss on the buildings is
covered by insurance. Mr.. Friend suf-
fered smoke damage.

strances signed by many Of the substan-
tiai citizene OF Ellsworth against the pro-
posed tond issue for permanent road
| improvement, OF which he is the father.
Mr.. Redman, in q telephone commune
cation to THE AMERICAN yesterday, said
he did not believe the matter was thor
oughly Understood by the signers of the
petition, and he would like to meet them
and explain the situation. Mr.. Redman
says he went to Augusta . firm believer
| in the mill tax plan Of raising money for
highways, but after looking into the
matter, he found that the mill tax would
hit Ellsworth and Hancock county SO
hard that he became converted to the
bond issue plan. Mr.. Redman will be in
Ellsworth over Sunday, reaching here
Saturday morning. He would like to
meet as many as possible Of the signers .oi
the petition or resmonstrance, and the
citizens generally, and explain to them
just what the mill-tax means to Ellsworth
and Hancock county, and what the bond
issue would mean. For this purpose Mr..
Redman will be at the board of trade
room in Hancock ball Saturday afternoon
at 2 O'Clock, to present the situation to
the citizens OF Ellsworth, and especially
to the signers OF the petition.
