--Ausou Howard was examined here
last week before Justice Wiley, on the
charge of setting fire to his hotel which
was burned, and also the buildings Of
Mr.. Sprague. II was claimed by the
witness for the prosecution that he made
TWO unsuccessful attempts before the one
which finally succeeded. That the first
time o boy was brought from London
derry in box, 20 set fire TO the buildings
who get frightened aud backed out, and
that drunken man was next hired to do
the Job who also failed to carry out the
programme. II the stories are true it
shows very careless manner Of doing a
dangerous job on the part of Howard. --
The evidence was considered strong en-
ough by the Justice to warrant his being
held for trial and be was put under heavy
bonds and lodged in Jail. f. L. Water
man appeared Tor the state and Albc
