THE THIRD FIRE.
Three Buildings Belonging to the Joseph
shaw Estate, Burned.

Two houses and a barn located on the
South Belfast road, four miles and halt
from this city, and belonging to the Joseph
Shaw estate were burned on Tuesday. The
two houses were located quite near together,
one being larger than the other. The small.
err house, which was unoccupied, was burned
about II o'clock NJ. 1t was valued at about
5000 and was owned by Mrs. Shaw, relict OF
the late Joseph Shaw, the building having
been set off as her dover. No insurance.
The barn caught fire at the same time, but
the flames were extinguished. 1t is said tina,
there were evidences of incendiarism found
in the barn, traces of kerosene being dis
covered, etc. The larger house, which was
occupied by MIR. Robinson, caught fire at
IL p. NJ. of the same day and was totally
destroyed. The barn which had been fired
at noon was also burned at the same time
There was no insurance on any of these
buildings The fire also ran over a large
area of land, burning the grass, besides run
ming into a wood-lot, owned by Mr.. John
Barrows. and damaging that. The fires were
undoubtedly incendiary as all the circum-
stances point in that direction. 1t is said
that there had been trouble among the heirs
as to the division of the property.

Enlargement. OF the Court n.use.

Yesterday the county commissioners gave
a hearing to the petitioners for an enlarge
ment of the Court House, giving better ia.
cilities for the storing of the records, etc.
A petition from Albion signed by Geo. ID.
Wilson and others, two petitions signed BY
iurymen, one signed by nearly every men,
Der of the Kennebec bar, and another with
the names of several judges appended, were
presented in favor of the enlargement. Mr.,
Orville ID. Baker and Judge Whitehouse
appeared before the board and expressed
tn. ir views. Their are two plans under
consideration as to the enlargement. One is
to put an addition of Is feet on the back side
of the building so as to give space for a
judges room and a jury room
in the second story with two other rooms be-
low, the present commissioners to be used
for storing the records of the probate office.
The other plan favors an enlargement in front
of sufficient width to give space for another
court room without encroaching on the space
occupied by the present court room. This
plan if carried out, will, it is held, give the
edifce much better appearance. The coun'
ty commissioners decided to employ an arch
itect to look over the matter and decide the
cost,

Notwithstanding business activity in An.
gusta has not been very marked for several
weeks past, yet the city is not quite dead yet.
The coming season in and around the cotton
factories promises to be one of the busiest
for many years; and we understand that the
Edwards Mfg. Co. have a large amount OF
work mapped out. Their brick yard is to be
put in operation Immediately. Two new
brick machines have been purchased in Fall
mouth. Maine, and have already arrived and
will be placed in position in the yard without
delay. The services of Mr.. A. p. varney
OF Hallowell have been secured by the COM
pany and he will have charge of the brick
making. Some 80 men will be EMPLOYED
until cold weather. About 400 cords OF wood
purchased the past winter will be used in
burning tn brick. The yard will be worked
to its fullest capacity and as many
bricks will be made as possible. As
to building operations the company have
not fairly matured their plans. 1t has been
decided, however, to erect new brick cotton
house in the yard between the factory and the
road leading up the hill to the Heights This
house is to be several hundred feet in length
and two stories in height. The large factory
boarding house belonging to the company,
located on the river side of the street, north
of the railroad bridge, is to be bisected. One
section of the building is to be constructed
into tenement houses. A picker mill and
loom shed are among the buildings which are
to be erected at time not far distant. Per
haps not. this year, but propably next, although
the picker mill may be built this season.
The loom shed will probably be placed
west of the factory, between that building
and the river. Work on the cotton house
will be commenced in July. Perhaps even
yet Augusta may become large and thriving
manufacturing city; it is not now too late
by any means. For many years our citizens
have been waiting for better times, for the
time when our vast water power should be
more fully utilized and our city prosper and
increase in size. We believe the time is not
far distant when their expectations will be
realized

faction. With Mr.. Howard in the chair bust
ness will work smoothly and there will be no
eiashing between the members. He being a

oy his decision. Tuesday evening seven
members. among them Mr.. Hodges, took
clearance cards from the lodge. Three of
them said they would not return to the lodge
until certain well-known and prominent
member-not Mr.. Howard-had severed his
connection with the same. 1t appears that

The Argus of Tuesday morning says
Frank Mayo, supported by An excellent COM
pany appeared at Portland Theatre last even
ing in his picture of the stalwart -backwoods
man. "Davy Crocktt." The piece which has
undergone but slight change since its last
presentation here, is so well known that no
imitation need be given of the character OF
the story which it unfolds or of the chsrac.
teis which it introduces I, the audience. 1t
has been well said that Mayo's "Davy Crock
ett' is a creation of his own for it would be
almost impossible to imagine truer concep-
ton of the character of the rough but noble
hearted backw oodsman than that which de-
lighted the audience last evening. 1t appeals
10 the best sentiment and emotion of human
lily like a reality and the illusion is as perfect
as the glamour of dream. The performance
was warmly received and heartily enjoyed.
Tonight Mr.. Mayo will appear in Granite
Hall. Let amusement goers attend. They
an but be well entertained.
