The firemen claim that thehe horses are entirely too light for the heavv apparatus, and that in case of a long "run such as today the horses are nearly plaved out, and as a result the men are heavily handicapped by arriving late at a fire. There is also much criticism in regard to the water supply. The town at present has hardly enough water for domestic purposes and is obliged to borrow water from the metropolitan system for drinking purposes. WHITMAN THREATENED. Blaze in the Woods of Northville, Near the "Sturtevant Estate, Looks Serious Until Wind Changes.

EAST BRIDGE WATER. Sept 12 The fire department was called oat this afternoon to fight a forest fire in the woods at Northville, near the Sturte-vant estate. The fire was fanned Into a lively blaze by the brisk southwest wind and blew in the direction of Whitman. The wind veered at the right time Will offer in one final sale the balance of their summer stock Consisting of Cotton Waists, Muslin and Linen Dresses, and unlined Wool Dress Skirts at about one-fourth their original value. lng embers gave considerable uneasiness to the residents In the eastern part of the town, and they remained on duty.

The fire was dangerously near the Ablngtorj line, and the firemen of that town were called out. They were stationed near Salem and gpruce sts. It was none too soon, for th-t fire was mating Its way In through the Thompson woods, where there were many handsome houses and shoe factories. The wisdom of this move on the part of Chief A. H.

Wright, was soon apparent. As th fire worked its way southerly, the firemen were surrounded with flames. Thev utilized snovels, hoes and small pieces of underbrush. They fought with a will, and the blaze was not allowed to pass tiie swamp at that point. Sick Woman In Burning House.

Mrs John Shores, mother-in-law of Wallace Arnold, of the firm of Arnold Rros. had a narrow escape from death. She lived near the South Weymouth line in one of the houses that were burned, and for the last few weeks had been confined to the house. Mr Arnold heara of the fire and went from North Abing-ton to his home to look after matters. He found the house in flames.

He rushed In and taking the bed upon which Mrs Shores was dragged it out Into the open air. She was at once brought here, and then removed to North Ablngton. She is not much the worse for her shaking up and the excitement. There were two other fires this afternoon, one in the woods on the Fenno and Holbrook estate on Korth av, and another near the Albert Tucker estate on Bedford st in North Ablngton. Late tonight it was thought that the fire was practically under control, although it is still rag'ng.

The firemen think they will keep it within the limits of Union st, Salem sst and the South Weymouth line. Karly in the evening Chief Foster wm congratulating himself that the firemen had conquered the flames, but the heavy pine timber adjoining Salem st was directly In the line of the flames, and this was soon blazing. There are quits a number of houses In that vicinity, and Chief -Foster ordered another line of hose strung from the steamer. Then tne firemen, although surrounded witn smoke and flying embers, gave bc-ttle. The John Culllnan estate nearly at the end of Oregon st was nearly sur rounded by the fire, and it seemed as if the property would be destrbved.

use barn caught several times, and the house was in flames at one time, but the well-directed work of the firemen saved the two buildings. A small shed adjoining the property was destroyed. The houses of Thomas Vinton, William Lovett and John H. Burke near by were also dangerously near the approaching flames, but the neighbors assisted In fighting the common enemy and they were saved. Portions of Union st are tonight uninhabitable oh account of the smoke.

The' horse owned by Mrs Maurice O'Connor of North Union st was found In its stall late tonight suffocated. It was learned this evening that considerable of the land burned over is owned by Lot Phillips of Hanover, rle is unable to estimate the loss. The lan 1 was covered with a growth of timber of marketable value. The total loss variously estimated at from $8000 to and the burned area is said to be about two square miles, most of being In South Weymouth. COTTAGES IN DANGER.

Forest Fire Sweeping Down Upon the Grounds of the Methodist Camp Meeting Association, Near Yarmouth-port. YARMOUTHPORT, Mass, Sept 12 A disastrous forest fire broke out about 6 tonight near the Mary Dunn road, on the line of the railroad and at a point west of the fine golf links of the Cum- Wnaquld club. The southwest gale that swept over cape Cod today veered to the westward tonight, but is still blowing hard and the flames, which were under considerable headway before they were discovered, are being driven with great rapidity through the thickly wood ed section in this district. The head fire is traveling as fast as a man can run and is now west of the golf links, but the flames are gradually burning around the western edge of the course and running easterly toward the grounds of the Methodist campmeetlng association. This is a beautiful spot, surrounded by dense woods, and contains nearly 100 cottages, all now vacated; also a keeper's dwelling and a large tabernacle, which was recently built at considerable expense.

A large gang of men has been summoned to tight the fire, and the fire wardens are making a great effort to get the fire "headed" before it creeps on to the campgrounds. The gale drives the flames so last, however, the men are not able to make any stand before the tire Is upon them, and they have to flee for their own safety. Everything being as dry as tinder, the usual back firing methods cannot be adopted with safety, which is a great drn wback. The village of Hyannis is only a little out of tho line of the flames, and a slight turn in the wind's direction would turn the flames down upon that town, but tonight's indications are that the fire will pass northward. Division superintendent Taylor of the Cape division of the Consolidated road Is dispatching all available men to the scene on special trains.

At 9. 3a a traveling man who had just returned from the scene said the flames were about entering the immediate vicinity of the campgrounds, and that the fire fighters there seemed to De powerless to check the flames unless the wind should go down. SOUTH WEYMOUTH'S SCARE. Once the Forest Fire Looked as if it Would Reach Over Into Hingham and Cohasset-Men Still on Duty. SOUTH WEYMOUTH, Sept 13-A forest fire which had been smoldering since Sunday broke out at 11.30 this morning and, fanned by the fierce southeast gale, bade fair to sweep the entire village.

In spite of prompt work the blaze got beyond the firemen and the large force of citizens that had responded, and the residents near the Rockland line became alarmed. A general alarm was rung in by Chief Kdward Fahey of the Weymouth department, summoning all the available apparatus in town. The fire had then spread Into Rockland, and Chief Foster of that town ordered out his department to assist Weymouth. The fire burned over a territory five miles wide and six miles long. At one time it looked as if the flames would reach Into Hingham and Cohasset.

Chief Cushing of Hingham was notified of this danger, and with District Chiefs Litchfield and Leavitt, he ordered a portion of his department out at noon. They went to work in the vicinity of Accord pond, and by heroic measures managed to save several small dwellings in the path of the flames. The wind, however, took a change of course and saved that department any further effort s. Never before has this town seen such a fiie. Tonight not a man In the fire department has left his post, though many of them were so exhausted that they had to be carried away from the Are.

At 11.30 tonight the fire was burning t'ercely. and the "all out" will not be sounded for at least 24 hours more, although Chief Fahey thinks he has all the tire there is in his district control.

Admiral Sampson Too to Amuse Children. On the Whole Little Ones Have a Hard Day. Some Horse Trotting but No ttalloou or Other Things. CLINTON, Sept 12 This region was visited by a severe gale of wind. It had an almost demoralizing effect upon the first of the three days' fair of the 11th annual exhibition of the 'Worcester east agricultural society.

It levelled several of the large tents, while others were taken down to avoid danger of their blowing away, and not a little of the exhibition, which was under cover in the morning, was unprotected from the wind and sand most of the day. The main exhibition hall swayed and so omnlously creaked that the attendance there was very light after the earlier forenoon. The prevailing and decidedly unusual 'conditions materially interfered with the day's program, yet despite the action of the elements there was enough to please and gratify the 5000 people in attendance. This was children's day, and thousands of tickets had been given to school chil dren under 13 living within a radius of 15 miles of Clinton. The first disappoint ment of the day was experienced wheri a telegram was received from Admiral WTilliam T.

Sampson, stating that illness would prevent his appearance. This was a blow to the anticipations of the little people, who were to have had an Interesting part of the exercises In connection with the arrival at the park of the great naval hero. However, a procession of about 2000 of the children was formed, and as they passed the grand stand each one was presented with an American flag. a consiaeranie part or the program which had been arranged for the delec tation of the youthful guests could not be carried out under existing conditions. One of the features which delighted the little folks was the battle of "confetti and serpentines," while the zoo attracted nunareds or them, especially the mon key cages.

There was a spirited competition In tne cnimren department of exhibits. Evelyn Thaver of Lancaster was award. ed first premium for exhibiting the best uressea aou, wnne Nora Thayer of the same town was the winner of second prize. Irene C. Lang of this town received first prize for sofa pillow.

Alden and John M. Hartwell of Clinton received first and second prizes, respectively, for pent and Ink drawings. In pencil drawings in color Genevieve Harris received first prize and Gertrude Bryden, South Lancaster second. The exhibits were fully up to the high standard which have marked previous and in respect to the quality and quantity of live stock, vegetables Truit. manufactured articles and art work, the fair may be considered a very successful one.

An exhibit which attracted the attention, especially of botanists, was one of native wild flowers and plants contributed by Mrs W. Eager of Berlin, who showed 125 specimens, all gathered In the vicinity of hr home. Other prize winners were: For best display of vegetables by gardner Nathaniel Thayer and Col John E. Thayer of Lancaster, first and second prizes, respectively; for the best display by a towrn farm or Institution of vegetables, the blue ribbon winner was the Lancaster town farm.

H. Flower was post-poned till tomorrow. He will then make two aerial journeys. The firtwarks the children's sports and several of the vaudeville features were also postponed The attractions of the day were exhibitions by the celebrated diving horses, king and Queen. The trotting, pacing arid running races took place as scheduled, although at times it seemed as If postponement would be inevitable The force of tha wind was felt most keenly on the backstretch, where dense clouds of sand would be encountered and it was with great difficulty that the drivers could see the course before them.

In the 3.00 class there were nine starters, and before the third was reached five of them had been distanced In the 2.20 race there was a decidedly hot contest between Van Demon and Rubley G. which aroused a pri of enthusiasm. In the runnine race, out of a i.j of entries, there were only three start ers, ana oniy two in the final heat. The A 3.00 CLASS. TROTTING Purse $20O.

MANY ACRES BURNED OVER. North Chelmsford People Kept Busy Most of the Day with a Blaze in a Stony Brook Swamp. LOWELL, Sept 12-North Chelmsford citizens have been engaged the greater part of the day in fighting a brush fire In swampland adjoining the tracks of the Stony Brook railroad.

WINDS SPREAD THE FLAMES. Several Forest Fires In the Vicinity of South Framingham Residence of Mrs Alex J. Silberstein Burned. SOUTH FRAMINGHAM, Sept 12 Tho Framingham firemen have been kept busy today, there having been six alarms, four of which were for forest fires, which are still raging, although not so fiercely Sts during the morning and afternoon. The first alarm at 10.15 was for a woods fire in Saxonville.

Fanned by the wdnd, which was blowing at a rate of nearly 50 miles an hour, it quickly ate its way toward South Sudbury. The Saxonville and Framingham departments responded to this alarm. At 11.30 the South Framingham department -was summoned, with word that many houses In South Sudbury were in danger. The larger portion of the department responded. The fire had by this time spread over several acres, and it required heroic work by the firemen to save the Falmouth stock farm.

Shortly before noon, while the entire department was away, another alarm was rung in for a fire In a peat meadow In the rear of Prospect st, in the vicinity of some of the finest residences in the town. The fire rapidly assumed great proportions and caused a dense smoke all over the town. The department returned soon after noon from South Sudbury and turned its efforts to this fire, pouring thousands of gallons of water on the flames and working with shovels and other implements on the borders of the meadow in an attempt to prevent the spread of the fire. Almost as soon as the Are was got under charge another alarm was sounded for a fire in a big two-story frame dwelling house on Prospect st, owned and occupied by Mrs Alex J. Silberstein, which, with the contents, was consumed in less than half an hour.

The family saved only a few personal effects and scarcely any of the furniture. The fire originated from an oil stove. which stood on a table and which was upset by the high wind, shortly after noon, lhe blaze was soon extinguished by members of the family. Later fire was discovered again in tne room which the first blaze occurred, and an attempt was made to Dut it out. Tho efforts of the family proved unavailing.

nowever, ana in a lew minutes tne root was abla.ze, the fire having worked up through the partitions. A messenger was sent to Gordons bridge to ring in an alarm from box 53, but there was trouble with the box, the mechanism failing to send In the alarm. Another messenger was sent to Central sq and a third one to the Main st ana union av boxes. When the firemen arrived a gale was blowing from the northeast, and the house was ablaze from basement to at tic. Little or nothing could be done In the way of saving personal property.

The loss will reach between 16000 and turn, partially insured. The property was known as the El- bridge Sanger place, and was bought py Mrs (riiiDerstem a rew years ago. The Bremen are still at work on the woods fire this evening, and roofs of houses In the vicinity have been thoroughly wet down to guard against an outbreak during the night. SWEPT ACROSS MEADOWS. Canton Has a Fire to Fight That Keeps the Department Busy Many Hours- One Bridge Endangered.

CANTON, Sept 12-The fires on the Fowl Meadows today burned over about 700 acres. There were two alarms, and the department was kept at work all the afternoon.

BEDFORD, Sept 12 A woodland Are broke out here about 11 this morning and was burning at a late hour tonight, but is under control. It started on the Shady Hill nursery land. An alarm was quickly sent out and in a short time 100 firemen and citizens were battling with the flames, being heavily handicapped by the high wdnd. Trenches were dug around the woods by one gang while another large gang was plowing furrows around the large area of nursery property. The damage will probably be large.

FIRE IN 6G0 ACRE TRACT. Lexington Department and Citizen Called Out to Fight a Threatening Eiaze in the Tophet Swamp. LEXINGTON, Sept 12-An alarm from box 5t this afternoon called the department to North Lexington for a woodland blaze on that portion of the old Hammon Reed estate known as Tophet swamp. The fire was in a tract of 600 acres of valuable woodland, and was rapidlv spreading. Three alarms were rung In at short intervals, and every man on the department responded and a large number of citizens.

Trenches were dug around the burn ing timber and these filled with water. At 6 the fire was under control, and a number of men were left to stand guard during the night in the event of another outbreak of the flames. The fire at one time threatened several dwelling houses, but danger in this direction finally averted. The loss on the woodland is estimated at JSOO. The firemen are loud in their criticism of the present methods of the town in securing horses for the apparatus.

At the Center engine house are quartered a steam fire engine, a hose wagon and a ladder truck. The engine is drawn by a fine pair of horses, quartered in the house. The hose wagon and truck are dependent on horses from a nearby liv- Continued from (he First Pne. new cottage owned by Charles S. Davis ot Plymouth, The fire then reached the farrahous of Joseph I j.

Brown, which was consumed. Mrs Brown was saved with tfreat difficulty. The men were alt off flhtinc fire and the women and children left behinl were terror stricken. Many were placed in boats and rowed off to the middie of tha pond, where they stayed until the fire phased by. One side of the fire worked around Ottle Long- pond lo the tsumroer home of Alfred R.

Turner Jr, which at o'clock tonight was a mass of flames. The fire worked Its way to Halfway pond, and here the handsome summer he'use and buildings owned by Prof IjC-baron It. Priggs of Harvard university were consumed. The summer houses on the f-Dterly ulde of th pond owned by Myron Whitney, Fred A. Hatch, Howland Davis, Col Richard II, Morgan, Edward Emery and other, at 6 tonight were utanding, but the fire was creeping toward them.

People Put Off in Boats. Fron the Long pomi diatrlrt the fire sped on toward the ocean. It crossed the Handwich road, the old stage highway, and here it consumed the house of deacon Joseph Saary, who, with his wife, had a very narrow escape. All they saved were the clothes they stood In. so quickly 3td the fire come upon them.

At Clam Pudding pond the summer place of William S. Leland wa-i burned, and at Ifland pond two large summer cottages-and stables, owned by Willis H. Youngman, were laid low by the flames. At the extensive farm owned by George Jt. Brlggs the people had a narrow escape.

Here the houses, stables, screen houses and outbuildings and cranberry bog were burned. Mrs Mriggi and her children were put in a boat and pushed off into the middle of one of the reservoirs, while Kdward Raymond, an employe on the place, made a heroic dash Into the horse Ftable with an ax, and cut the halters of the horses and drove them out. Heveral of the horses were burned, and one horse came out of the woods with its mane and tail burned off. The Beaver dam cranberry beg at Manomet, with all its screen houses and the crop of berries were burned. The lire at 10 tonight was rushing on toward Ship pond and Elllsville.

No lives have been tost so far as known, but there are a number of people missing. 1 The loss by fire cannot be estimated tonight, but It will probably be mere than All the extreme southerly part of the town Is yet to be heard from, but the loss there in the cranberry growing district must be enormous, and many people must be home-less. AH the evening gangs of men have been sent to the scenes the fires, and relief parties, with doctors and supplies, havo started out. Another fire is now burning near the pines along South nonet road, heading for Russell's mills. Many men are fighting this fire.

ROCKLAND'S NARROW ESCAPE. Blaze Starts Up in the South Weymouth Woods, Crosses the Line with a Rush and Causes Some Vet-)' Anxious Hours. ROCKLAND, Mass, Sept 12 Only the good work of the Ire department saved the town from a disastrous conflagration this afternoon, and the work of the firemen under the direction of Chief N. B. Foster Is receiving favorable comments.

The forest fire Is responsible for the smoke that hangs like a huge cloud over the town. At a late hour this evening the firemen are still on duty, and It Is not safe to soiund the recall. The fire that had boon smoldering In the South Weymouth woods was fanned Into a brisk blaze about noen and crossed the line between South Weymouth and Rockland with a rush. The wind had been blowing strong from the southeast, but it veered about to the northwest and caused the flames to roll In the direction of Rockland. An alarm had been sounded in the forenoon, but the tiremen found that the fighters of Weymouth had things their own way over the line, and their services were not needed.

They returned home. Then the alarm sounded again, and this time it meant business. The steamer was sent out and stationed at a point near the town line. The tiro gradually worked toward the south, and the steamer followed this line as far as possible. Aa fast as the fire gained headway Chief Foster ordered the eteamer removed to another hydrant.

The space between Union st, the main street of the town, and Bedford st, Is one mass of woods, and the underbrush was like tinder. The heavy pines, too. added to the fury or the names, and the. old trees curled and dropped, frlngea wrlth flames. The houses on the main street, near the Weymouth line, are near the woods, and the llelcte, even if plowed, did not seem to act as bfirriers for the flamen.

The renldcnt9 of Union st had to make the fight of their lives to save their homes. Animals Turned Loose. Garden' hose, pail brigades, old well were all utilized. 'and at last the smoke was so dense that it was impossible to remain In the houses, and they were deserted. Pigs broke out of pens and went running out of the path of the Are.

Horses were turned loose to feck safety where they might. Tlie street railway passes along Union st from South Weymouth to Rockland, and it was impossible to carry passengers over the route on account of the smoke and heat. The trolley wires were cut near Hatherly postolllce and the South Weymouth town line. Thi was necessary, and wns done none too soon. No cars were run between Rockland and Weymouth from 11 a to -4.

and then the regular time was made, a short transfer being made at the Hatherly postoftiee on account of the fire apparatus stationed there. The fire started for Rockland from Old City. The house of John Burke nn Oregon st was directly In the line of the flanus, as were several other houses In that locality. Chief Foster stationed the steamer at the corner of Union st and Oregon st, and a line of hose, about 15O0 feet In length, was run through the ilelds, over the electric track, to this locality. The cord wood in that vieinitv, owned by George Stoddard.

H. B. Slack, Dennis Heniiigan und Henry Dunbar, was all destroyed. It amounted to sevral hundred cords and was valued at $1000. Henry Paine owned four acres of handsome standing timber, but this went up in smoke, and only the blackened slumps of the pine trees are left.

Anthony Andrews, who was employed ss a woo cutter by Hennlgan.came near losing his lit'e near Oregon st. He went into tlie woods as usual when he a dense smoke. In attempting to gain the open field he became bewildered an I wandered about helplessly. The fire gained on h.m. and he was soon surrounded with burning trees.

He manage I to break through this ring of tlame, arid with leih.es almost burned to tatters, reached a place of safety. Buildings Barely Saved. Electric grove, near Union st, was threatened at one time, but the shift of wind took the flames in the direction of Weymouth, and it escaped. The barn owned by William Rudklh caught, but th" firemen succeeded in saving It. A small shanty, owned bv and occupied by eveiut woodcutters, was destroyed, but the occupants escaped.

The houses in that vicinity on l.ion st were ail drench, with water, and the sp.jrks passed over them were crefully looked after bv the hrenien. The house of John Shaw on Oregon st was ihe path of the tire, and there was quick work on the part of Mr Shaw and the neighbors. It was saved, but the tire was nil about, it. The tiremen had a hard contest with the flames as they tit -a red Union st. It was thought at t'nn that nothing could keen the fbiTOos frm crossing the street, in which case the finely wooded country Ivetween Rockland and Hanover woula Ik- endaiisered.

The contest here was hand to h.t'i and the firemen were obliged to 1, ve their work an 1 seek a oonnm ra' ively clear space i hich to catch a breath of fresh air. Chuf Foster had diafted many and the regular nrenun were assisted by these. Shovels were utilised, as well as the hose, and excellent work was done. The turning point was tit-re. and the firemen rested for a while, having saved this part of the town.

The firemen were not content with this, for the scattering sparks aci fi)- 1 Shnmaa Sells' His Male, 28 lo 44 Ccnrt SL It Is Taxed lirougl.t Above Tills. Biggest Downtown Transaction for Many Months.

The buildings arc five and six stories in hlght, are located opposite the Scol-lay si entrance to the wubway, and adjoin the Hemenway building on t'ourt st and the Boston museum on 'ourt xn. The frontage on Court st is about 89 fct, and on Court si 132 feet. The buildings were formerly owned by the Adams express company, and were pur-eliiiseil by Mr Shuman some six years ayo. He also rebuilt them.

No buildings of the kind In the city have in the original shape auch historic connections a these, as many of the bright legal light of the Suffolk bar were located here for a number of years.
