Washington Junction. The morn
ing train down for Washington
county now leaves Bangor at $40
twenty minutes earlier than be-
fore-with corresponding changes
at scheduled stops on the Mt. Desert
branch. The afternoon train up
from Washington county will leave
Calais at 1.5O p. M, and Ellsworth
at 6.22 D. m. This gives Washing
ton county substantially the usual
winter service, but gives Ellsworth
and the Mt. Desert branch an early
evening train to Bangor, practically
reinstalling the train recently taken
off. The late evening Washington
county train, of course, is taken off,
or, rather, changed to the early
afternoon. AS this train made the
way stops to Bangor while the night
train from Bar Harbor ran express
to Bangor, the schedule of the lat
ter train, now leaving Ellsworth at
1926 p. M, has been changed to
give flag stops at Hancock ana
Franklin Road, and stops to leave.

The house of Miss Alice H. Scott
on School street was badly damaged
by fire early Saturday afternoon.
The fire started in the upper part or
the kitchen ell presumably from the
chimney, though there had not
been hot fire in the stove for sew
eral hours. The fire reached the at
tic of the main house, but the fire
men stopped it there. The ell OF
the house is destroyed, while the
damage to the main house is con-
siderable, though mostly from smoke
and heat, as the firemen were careful
in the use of water. Miss Scout
house is filled with valuable antique
furniture. There is an insurance or
$4,000, which will not cover the loss
estimated. Miss Scott is loud in her
praise of the firemen for the manner
in which they handled the fire and
care for the furniture removed from
the house.
The Unitarian fair was a great
success both socially and financially.
The hall was artistically decorated
with pink and white crepe paper
and greenery and the table-display
was unusually attractive. AS the
only public observance of Old Home
week in the city, the afternoon ses-
sion assumed the character of re-
union where the people who come
"back home" each August enjoyed
meeting old friends. Short pro-
grams were given both afternoon
and evening by the young people of
the society, assisted by Mr.. T1leston
of the B. U. summer school, vocal
soloist, Harry Kenyon, violinist.
and little Miss Olive Kean of Dor
chester, Mass, whose readings give
promise of brilliant future In the
art of expression. The fair closed
with a dance, with music by Hig-

Within three hours after being
notified Sunday morning to be on
the lookout for Charles F. Seavey,
wanted for larceny of $500 in
money and Ford car at Harring-
ton, Sheriff Wescott had the car,
but Seavey had flown. Early last
week Seavey went to garage in
Harrington where he was known,
and wanted to borrow SIS or $40.
The proprietor said he would let
him have the money if he would
get a check cashed for him, and
handed him check for $500.
Seavey got the check cash all right,
but forgot to come back with the
change. Also, absent-mindedly, he
