LANCASTEB, O. 



Fire badly damaged the greenhouses 

 and almost totally destroyed the boiler 

 house and heating plant at the estab- 

 lishment of M. M. Miesse Wednesday, 

 March 29, about midnight. 



There was no watchman on duty 

 Wednesday night, but when Mr. Miesse 

 left the boiler room about ten o'clock 

 everything was all right and there were 

 no evidences of fire anywhere. About 

 11:30 Mr. Miesse was awakened by what 

 sounded to him like the falling of hail 

 «tones on the roof. On going to the 

 window he discovered that flames had 

 entirely enveloped the boiler house and 

 "weje rapidly spreading through the 

 greenhouses. 



After an hour's hard fight by Mr. 

 Miesse and his men, aided by a splen- 

 did water system, the flames were 

 brought under control, leaving the boiler 

 house in ruins and ten of the eleven 

 greenhouses damaged for a distance of 

 fifty feet from the ends. The loss 

 amounts to between $4,000 and $7,500, 

 but most of the stock in the portions 

 left standing will be saved. Mr. Miesse 

 expects to rebuild the range as soon as 

 possible. 



FALL EIVEB, MASS. 



The Florists' Association has regis- 

 tered another complaint about the sys- 

 tem followed by the park commissioners 

 regarding the sale of flowers to owners 

 of lots in cemeteries. This point has 

 been agitated for the last two years, 

 but this time the florists want an opin- 

 ion from the city solicitor as to the right 

 oftBe park board to carry on a business 

 ef selling flowers. Chatterton Warbsr- 

 ton and Patrick H. Sullivan, represent- 

 ing the association, recently called at 

 the mayor's ofiice and formally pre- 

 •sented their protest, asking that the 

 mayor seek an opinion on this matter. 

 The association objects to the sale of 

 flowers by the board to others than 

 those who have arranged for the per- 

 petual care of lots. 



New London, Conn. — Edward W. 

 Clark's new store, at 241 State street,
