Fire Last Evening.

COweII's Photograph Gallery and Cess.
 ner's Drug Store Damaged.
 Shortly before o'clock last evening smoke was seen issuing from the rear of Whittle- sey's building on Chapel street, and soon af ter flames appeared issuing from the east room of Cowell's photograph gallery, which is on the second floor of the east hait of the building. and over Apothecaries' Hall. Great alarm was created in Diebel's restaur- ant for short time, the flames coming across the passage way between the extensions of the building in the rear. The fire depart. ment responded with great alacrity, and a stream was quickly thrown on the flames, the hose having been carried up on top of the rear extension at Diebeps. In the meantime however, the Apothecaries' Hall, which had but recently emerged from the hands of the painters and decorators, in a new dress throughout and replenished extensively with new stock, was densely filled with smoke, which stopped the removal of goods from the rear of the store, which had been begun by MT. Gessner, his salesmen and volunteers After the smoke cleared the rear room was soon drenched with the water thrown on the fire, which came through from Mir. Cowell's overhead
 The fire was confined to the dark room in Mir. Cowelrs, which was badly wrecked. and in which considerable repairs will have to be made. The fire. it is thought, started from 8 gas jet in the room. The east half of the building is owned by Mir. Bassett, formerly in the picture frame business in Orange street, and was insured with companies with John G. North and F. A. Chase. The dam age in MT. Gessner's stock room and else where is estimated at about $1, 800 Insured with Cannon and Charles Wilson. The dam age being mostly in the rear of the store will not interfere with the business of the store in the least. The fire was first seen by young man employed by Janieswich. cigar maker, in the upper part of the building. A large crowd was collected on Chapel street by the fire, and there were lively times for the police squad in keeping back the people.

evening. His testimony was considered as contradicting substantially some statements by Carroll He had worked with Carroll in digging well at Mir. Biggin's on Saturday.

He had worked with Carroll for about two months, and during that time he made no complaint of injuries to his hand The witness said: We worked at Biggin's Saturday morning until we got wet.

 After got back Carroll said: "There's Michael Early over there booking at the cir GUS. You had better call him in" I called not take any. About dusk Carroll came to my house again. He was intoxicated. He
 went over to Scott's and got half pint of
 whiskey and came back. offered him 8
 cup of tea and som ething to eat He drank
 half cup of tea enl split the rest over the floor. He seemed in maze or excited. I thought then that there was something wrong. He said that he had been up to Michael Early's and that he had bought some cornstalks of Michael. He also said he had been in a dispute with Early about some old debts Carroll said that he had fight
 with Early and that was the way he got his face hurt. Carroll did not say that Michael was hurt. The witness gave his most inn portant testimony only after persistent cross questioning, and contradieted himself once or twice. Before leaving the stand he stated | that he let the bucket down on Carrolps head ! a few days ago, but not hard enough to draw l blood.
 oARRoLL's FACE SCRATCHED. Mrs. Ellen Coffee and Ellen Owens, each 1T ! turn, testified that about four o'clock Satur l day afternoon they met Frank Carroll neal Horace Halls house. They noticed that hi: I face was scratched He was going towardi | the circus grounds. These witnesses were | introduced in contradiction of CarrolPs state ment that he received the scratch by falling over rope in the circus grounds. MEDICAL TESTIMONY.
 Dr. J. A. McGaughy, who examined th'
 remains of Early. gave his testimony as tt l the injuries.
 | Dr. Benjamin F. Harrison testified that h. | was. called to make an examination of thu body of Michael Early, Sunday morning, il 1 company with Dr. McGaughy. He confirmed
 the statements of pr. McGaughy concerning the character of the wounds. He, however differed in regard. to the instrument witl | which the wounds were made. He though | the wounds were made with short wide ! knife, perhaps 8 round pointed jaek-knife ! sharpened around a broad point. This ht | judged from the fact that the bottom of tht | wounds were as wide as at the top. Ht ! thought the man must have died very soo1 after the wound in the throat or neck. In stantaneous death must have resulted from ! the wounds in the larnyx.
