Arthur M. Bullock and family will 
occupy their new house at Essex dur- 
ing the coming week. 
An overheated stove in the Ma- 
honey house, off Washington street, 
now occupied by Timothy White, was 
the occasion of quitea flurry of excite- 
ment last Friday, about noontime. 
Only the quick work of R. J. Baker, 
Bert Smith, John W. Carter, Edward 
Joyceand others, who werein Bullock’s 
bakery at the time, saved the house 
from more serious damage. As it 
was the mantel caught fire and the 
house was filled with smoke. Bert 
Smith heard Mrs. White’s outcry, and 
taking a fire distinguisher from the 
bakeshop, quickly extinguished the 
blaze. 
It is at this season of the year the 
local police station is open to hospitali- 
ty. One tramp each was given lodg-

day nights, and two Thursday.

Daniel Brown, a well-known local 
character, became lost in the storm 
Monday night and was towed into 
port by Chief Peabody and sheltered 
behind the bars of the local lock-up. 
The chief was wending his way home- 
ward about 11 o’clock. when a voice 
came out of the snow, which proved 
to be that of Brown, inquiring his 
bearings. At the station it was found 
Brown had considerable of a cargo 
aboard and for the safety of all con- 
cerned he was advised to heave to for 
the night. In the morning he sailed 
up to court and Judge Safford told 
him to drop anchor in the House of 
Correction for 60 days.
