NEW MAGNOLIA BURNED 
_ Big Hostelry Ravaged by Flames this Morning ead Totally Destroyed. 
The New Magnolia hotel at Mag- 
nolia was burned flat to the ground 
this morning. 
About 6 o’clock the first alarm was 
rung in, anda few minutes later the 
ie 
tena 
' second alarm sounded. As soon as 
the department arrived, it was seen 
that the large building was doomed. 
Being wholly of wood the hotel 
made easy prey for the flames which 
quickly spread, and it was not long 
before the whole structure wasa mass 
of flames. 
Fortunately the hotel was not ad- 
joining any other buildings. The 
Oceanside hotel is some 100 feet away 
on the east. The Colonade, in which 
are located a number of fashionable 
stores, is only a few feet away on the 
north. 
The fire was discovered about 6 
o’clock in the northwest corner of the 
basement by Mrs. F. E. Foster,

The Oceanside hotel is damaged 
some by water, although there is no 
loss from fire. The Colonade is 
damaged about $500. 
At this writing the fire is under con- 
trol, and there is little danger of its 
spreading to other buildings, but the 
New Magnolia is doomed. 
The property was owned by Dr. 
Newell of Gloucester, and for the 
past few years Geo. H. Mowry has 
managed the hotel very successfully 
for Dr. Newell. Only the first of this 
week did Mr. Mowry finish closing 
the house.

There was a lively runaway at West 
Manchester Wednesday when the 
“horse” owned by Supt. of Streets 
Kimball refused to stand near the 
water fountain while its master was 
attending to some work in that 
vicinity, and prompted by an auto 
that happened along started on a 
gallop down Harbor street. In its 
course it passed the Supt. who did not 
give chase. He knew the horse; he 
knew it would come back. And it 
did. But it came back minus the 
wagon, part of its harness, and in- 
cidentally part of its hide. The horse 
parted from the wagon near the en- 
trance to the Jordan estate, and after 
the horse had gone as far as the West 
Manchester station, it turned and 
came back.
