About three-quarters of an hour later they were called again as the fire broke out a second time and was | discovered to have ignited a small
 wooden office building. This time

 hour to handle the situation. Mrs John W. Chapman waterville has lost an unusually large number of it's older and bet ter-known residents this winter, still another passing on yesterday afternoon in the death of Mrs Net tie May Chapman, wife of John w. Chapman of l59 Yale street.
