Mr.. and Mrs. Lovejoy testified
that Mrs. Lovejoy was not drunk

City Marshall William Fish. They
all testified that the odor of home
brew could be detected throughout
the house, and in the cellar were
nine barrels, some of which were
empty, the others containing either
lard cider of vinegar. Besides this
there were bottles containing straw
berry juice, an empty vanilla bottle,
a jug full of syrup that Lovejoy
claimed was maple syrup, and u tub
nearly full of mash that gave off an
odor similar to that which could be
detected in upstairs rooms.
Lovejoy claimed that the mash
was some that he found on a dump
voc Ia mile from .his house and that
he had brought it home to feed to the
hens and thus save grain. The bar
rels contained vinegar he said, and
the straw berry juice was some that
his wife had left over from her can

drink by diluting it with water. The
vanilla Mrs. Lovejoy claimed she
used to make ice-cream with.

the barn of Charles Knowles on the
Burns road, just off the Mt. Vernon
road, in this city Tuesday afternoon.
The barn and its contents were totally
destroyed. Through the efforts of the
Augusta fire department and the neigh

flames. Several times fire broke out on
the roof. but on each occasion suffi-
cient water was obtained to prevent its
destruction.
The principal loss. in addition to the
barn, which was valued at about $4,000
was the wiping out of two Ford auto
mobiles. One of the cars was the
property of Harry Ballard and had
been purchased only a few weeks ago.
Fortunately it was covered by insur-
ance. The other machine was an older
model A ton of hay was also lost.

The flames were first noticed by
passers-by who informed the family
in the house. Many neighbors carried
water from the brook to check the fire.
The arrival of the combination truck
undoubtedly saved the dwelling house.
The fire fighters were hampered in
their battle as the nearest water sup

Train Service Crippled
The train service was badly inter-
rupted by the land slide in Winslow
and up to late hour last night no
train had been able to make the trip
from Waterville to this city. The af-
ternOon train, No. 16, which leaves
this city at 25S, was able to make the
trip, leaving this city about 80 min
utes late, but No. II, the train for
Bangor which leaves here before No.
16, was only able to procede as far as
Vassalboro. From there the passen-
gers were transported to Waterville
by auto where a train was made up to
carry them to Bangor.
Train No. 102 which should have
left here for Portland at 4.05, was
caught on the other side of the slide
and was diverted to the back road go
ing to Portland by way of Winthrop.
Passengers who We're ready to take
that train from this city and others
west of here were picked up by the
"Scoot" which assumed 102's sched-
ule at Augusta, leaving here about
an hour and half late.
Train No. II turned at Vassalboro
and deadheaded through this city
about o'clock last night. No. 25.
due here at $40, arrived here about
one hour late with passengers for
this city, only those for upriver points
q
turned here and tied up until 10.4S,
when it assumed the schedule of No.
to Portland. The milk train. No.
As, was cancelled from Waterville,
through by the way of Augusta.
Rail Wires Out
The railroad wires were all out of
commission with one exception, and
this was kept busy by the dispatcher.
Altogether the storm caused much
work and confusion on the Maine
Central in this vicinity.
The trouble at the Fort Halifax
power station interrupted the car SER
vice on the A. and X. Electric rail-
road from 1.20 to $40, and for that
time no cars were running on the
line between Waterville and Lewis
ton and several cars were left out
i the country. At $40 the power
'.Gs turned on, but because OF t'>e
burning out of one Of the machines
at the power station, the power vas
weak and none but the regular cars
were run.
Service was opened again on the
Lewiston line and last night the cars

going, by transferring the wire to
another set of insulators and the
burning ceased with no interruption
