age at About $4,000


Much smoke and water and a little
fre caused damage that will probably
amount to over $4,000 early Thursday
afternoon in Winslow's candy store
and the Mcguire Battery shop in the
| Maine Farmer block on Water street.
The fire was discovered about LIS
and an alarm from box SO at the
journal building was Immediately
sent in.
! Because of the fact that the fire.
men were unable to locate the fire
for some time. 1t was necessary to
use two lines Of hose and after the
fire was out, there was at least a foot
OF water in both Of the cellars The
damage from the fire is small but the
damage from smoke and water will be
materially greater. 1t was unoffi-
cially estimated soon after the fire
that the damage in the Winslow
store would be between $1,000 and
$500 which it is understood is par
tally covered by insurance. The
loss In the Mcguire shop, because of
the nature Of the stock, is thought to
be small and is covered by insurance.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene. great quantities of dense acid
smoke were rolling up the elevator
shaft Of the battery shop and to all
appearances there was a bad fire in
the basement Of the shop. Because
of the nature Of the smoke it was i'm
possible for the firemen to penetrate
&c the cellar and it was necessary to
cut a hole in the floor and use cellar
pipe.
Shortly after this had been done
/ the men were able to make their way
/ into the basement and quickly found
that there was no fire on that side
OF the partition. BY this time the
| Winslow candy store was filed with
smoke and the fire was getting so hot
that it was noticeable, the men hav-
ing the same difficulty in getting into
the cellar of that store as had been
experienced before.
The cellar pipe was quickly run
through the floor of the candy store,
directly behind the soda fountain and
| fortunately hit the very spot that
needed attention. Another line was
put in through the cellar window of
this store. This speedily put the fin
ishing touches to the flames

men. to have started about the vul-
caniZing machine in the battery shop
although tho machine had not been
used for over 4S hours One theory
was that the wiring might have been
defective and that the blaze burning
through the partition to the candy
store. The second application of the |
cellar pipe was made right at the !
base of the flames slight dis !
tance from this partition and in this |
manner the fire damage was kept |
very small. If this fire had started I
in the night instead of in the day
