Possessing ali the | splendid features. of the passenger | series, these monsters of the rails, | though not quite as Tong, weigh as much. The only difference is that the engines are of the 2-8-2 type and have an additional appendage the famous booster, into which the sted is first turned. This booster is locat- ed behind the trailing axle, and 'after the engine has attained a speed of approximately ten miles an hour, it immediately shuts off allowing thc locomotive to 1 after itself. Oae other feature is the new innovation the Bellepaire boiler which allows a larger steam capacity and there- fore greater power.

Tuesday morning the town build- ing on the market square was gu:- ded. Between 6 and 6:30 o'clock, J. L. Sheppard, the market clerk, arose and started a fire in the cook stove. He heard a noise like eomething dropping apparently upstairs in tae firechall. He went around to the firehall, but no person was there. Charles Hawkins stood across the street and remarked that there was too much smoke about. But befora an investigation could be made, fames burst from the upper ficor, the upper part of the bublding ap- parently being on fire from end to end. The firemen quickly responded to the alarm and ail the fire appar- atus was removed and Mr. Shepard s household goods with the exception of two stoves, as 'well as the furni- ture from the council chamber, At this time ther: was no fire down- stairs, But it had" evidentiy been burning for a long time or the stage and in the galleries of the town hall. The roof was burmed off as well as the top of the hose tower. The fire alarm bell dropped through the building. The walls and chimneys are still standing. The cause of the fire is a complete mystery, as the town hall was locked up and the stovepipes which were in use in the residence part enter the chimney on the first floor. The water pressure was good and the firemen had no difficulty in confining the fire to the one building. The bufiding was insured for $4,200, The town hall building was erect- ed in the sixties. It was a very sub- stantial building and served its pur- pose for many years. It contained the central fire station. the council chamber and the market clerk's Tesidence on the ground floor. In Tecent years the town hall has only been used occasionally, the Regent theatre taking care of shows and the armouries public meetings. # The fire bell is cracked, but wheth- er it can be mended has not been de- termined. Pending re-arrangement of the system the Church of Eng- land bell will be used. The alarm will be installed in the market build- ing and the market clerk will have temporary residence there. For the present the fire truck will be kept at Jones' livery, The town council will hold its meetings in the public dibrary, i -- 3 .
