Fire on Odd Fellows Block,

What might have become troublesome
blaze on the roof of Odd Fellows Block
was quickly disposed of Tuesday fore
noon. The chimney burned out during
the latter par. OF the forenoon, and
about 10:45 1t was discovered that
shingles on the roof had caught from
sparks and were blazing.
Ralph Butts and Sherman Oliver went
nm through the building and found the
scuttle which opens on the roof. 1t was
hasped and fastened with q nail, but
thew burst 1t open and got out on the
roof. Three places were blazing, and at
some of them the fire was showing
through on the inside. By using chem
ioal e1tinguishers passed up from below,
and ripping of the burning shingles, the
bIazes were quickly subdued.
Meanwhile an alarm had been given,
and the extension ladder was run up at
the front of the building, under the d.
reotiou of Chief Engineer Bowker, and
bvdraut stream was put on to vet down
The roof. A watch was also maintained
until the possibility Of further trouble
was regarded as past.
Quite fresh breeze was blowing Q!
the time, the shingles on the ROOF OF
this. the largest and highest wooden
buildine In town, are getting old, snd u

Reception to the New Pastor.

A reception was given Rev. D. F.
Faulkner, the new pastor Of Deering Me.
mortal Methodist Episcopal Church, and
Mrs. Faulkner, at the vestry of the
church Friday evening. The members
of the church and congregation with
their families made up the principal part
of the attendance, with the pastors and
official representatives of the other
churches with their wives as invited
guests. As the people arrived they were
directed to the auditorium above to re-
move their wraps, and then passed the
receiving line and we're presented to Mr..
and Mrs. Faulkner.
DR.. c. L. Buck presided during the
program given after all had Assem- led.
Musical numbers included piano solos
by Misses Flora Brooks and Hester Ord
way, and vocal solo by Mrs. Roy E.
Cole, who responded to an encore with
"a Perfect Day"
The welcome of the church to the
new pastor and his wife was briefly and
appropriately given by T. NJ. Davis.
Following this in response to calls by the
chairman additional words of welcome
to the community were given By Rev. A..
i, MIC w uUEl0E VI boO SobSt VSobohot
church, Rev. G. b. Newton OF the Bap-
list church, Rev. q. L. Nichols Of the
Norway Methodist church. and Rev. R.
j. Bruce of the Norway Congregational
church.
Rev. Mr.. Faulkner responded appro-
priately, pledging bis earnest work In
this field In advancing the kingdom Of
Christ. All the speeches were in hap
py vein.
An additional feature of much interest
was provided when W. s. Starbird, In be-
half of the veterans and sons of veterans
of the church, presented the church q
United States flag on standard. Rev.
Mr.. Faulkner accepted the flag in behalf
of the church, and promised that 1t
should 60 up stairs and have q perma-
neut place there.
Light refreshments were served, and

A Mysterious Fire.

Fire at the house of Charles S. Dudley
on Hill Street Friday afternoon did
slight damage, but caused some excite
ment and no less wonder.
1t was few minutes before O'Clock
when the whistle of the Mason Manufac-
turing Co. doomed the signal for fire
least of the river" and sent automo'
biles and hose and ladder trucks hurry
ing in hot haste in that direction. Most
of the people and apparatus got no far
Their than the foot of the hill below Mr.
Dudley's, for the fire was all out by the
time they reached that point.
A box standing on the floor in the cor
ner of one of the chambers of the house,
ntaining a few papers and magazines
summer lap robe and few other
things which had been packed away in
it for convenience, was partly destroyed
by the fire, as were its contents, and the
base board on both sides of the corner,
against which the burned box stood, was
charred but not burned through. Thai
doesn't explain the fire, but 1t tells al
much about the origin of 1t as any one
knows.
A barn is being built at the place by
Mr.. Dudley, and a number of men were
at the place doing carpenter or other
work, SO it was little trouble to take
care of the fire, though the upper part OF
the house was so full of smoke when the
fire was discovered that it was at firsi
impossible to locate the fire.
The Dudleys have within few years
lost two sets of buildings by lightning al
their farm on Stearns Hill, and 1t would
not be strangs if they were little ner
yous about fire.

order and it's material and more impor-
tant moral benefits, and urged even more
work In it's behalf. Maine now has, be
said. the largest number of members OF
the order in proportion to the popula-
ton of any jurisdiction, but even the
present proportion can be Increased oy
little more earnest work and enthusiasm.
Later in the program local members
were called upon, and besides some who
pleaded that they were not prepared
with anything to say, remarks were
made BY L. W. Hollis, Harold T. Thayer,
and visiting brother from Salamanca,
N. Y, who closed bis remarks with
taking bit of representation.
After the program Ice cream and
