APPEARANCE OF THE COMB.

The comb is the index by which the
general health of the fowl may be
gauged. A bright red comb indicates
good health in both sexes. It's size
increases as the laying period ap-
proaches. Large combs are indica-
tive of great egg-producing capacities.
When the comb is pale and shrivelled
tonics are necessary. In such cases
the hatchet is often the best remedy.

Obliged to Caution the Counsel for the
Defense-An Appeal for a New Trial
VIII Be Taken
Bangor. March 2-After being out an hour
and fifty minutes the jury in the Mary
Cowar case reported a verdict OF murder in
the first degree. The defendant was charged
with the killing of her little stepson.
There was a scene when Mrs Cowan came
into court fifteen minutes before the open
ing. She was attended by her aged father.
and both INDUCED in alternate weeping and
talking. During the moments that the
father appeared to control himself he was
repeating passages of scripture to his
daughter.
P. H. Gillen made tho closing argument
for the defense, and soon alter commencing
proceeded to denounce the person who
acted as the government informant in the
case and discuss his OF her story u ,s.
Chief Justice Peters ainterposed. saying,
that as no such persan was on the stand
andlno such testimony introduced Mr.. Gill
len was ex eeding rea sonable limits in his

The counsel was SO tioored that he asked
permission to sit down for few moments
tosdevelop his line of thought, which was
granted The rest of his argument was
devoted TO showing that a reasona Bile
motive was lacking. and that any overdose
of arsenic was given by mistake in handling
the powders left by the doctors. He laid
great stress upon the straightforward, un-
shaken testimony OF Mrs. Cowan.
Attorney General Powers argued for the
government He asserted that 1t was ad-
mitted ny the defense that the boy died Of
arsenjcal poisoning. and he proceeded to
matbematically demonstrate that no such
amount of arsenic rs was found in the vital
organs could have been contained in ali the
medicine left by the doctors for him. One
by one the attorney general took up the
theories which the defense had advanced
and combatted them.
The two arguments occupied tho whole
day HI to four, and Chief Justice Peters
charged the jury for one hour and forty
minutes. calling particular attention TO the
amount of arsenic found in the child's
organs.
The iury went out at 5.45 and at 7.35 gave
notice Of an agreement. The Chief Justice
and counsel were sent for and the jury
came in and reported verdict of murder in
the first degree.
J. Il. Robinson, counsel for the defend
ant. gave notice that be will file motion
for a new trial, Mrs. Cowan received the
verdict calmly. without apparent emotion.

The Third Big Fire Within Two
Months.

The Entire City Will Be Destroyed Before
Fire Department-The Damage viii Be
Over Million Dollars
| fire that has visited this city In less than
two months occurred this morning The
fire originated in the heart of the retail
section of the city. starting at 12.40 this
morning in the new departmental store of
Robert Simpson on Yonge ana Queens
streets. Simpson s building is an immense
seven story structure, and was completed
only ixmonths ago at a cost of S150,O0O.
The fire started in the rear of the southern
annex and spread with such rapidity with
| in half an hour the whole building was a
mass of flames. A general alarm was turned
in. in five minutes after the discovery of
tae Ere the whole fire brigade was on the
scene. but its combined efforts to confine
the fire to the Simpson building proved
futile. The only steam fire engine in the
city was brought into action to assist the
streams from the hydrants, although the
water pressure was fairly good. The front
wall fell at one, and twenty minutes later
the whole building collapsed, sending the
sparks and cinders in all directions. Mean
while the fire crossed Queen street and a
big clothing store of Philip Jamison ON the
northwest corner of Yonge street was
quickly destroyed with an immense stock.
The adjoining dry goods house of Joeerh
Sutclitfe ana Sons, northv est of Jamisons,
fronting on yonge street with an annex
running through to Queen street was COM
pletely gutted and stock totally de-
stroyed. Next north was George Nc Pher-
sons boot and shoe store, a nd this was
Quilted. South of Simpsons On Yonge street
was the large jeweily store Of John Wanless,
which was damaged considerably in the
rear. but the front portion escaped serious
injury. Crossing Yonge street the fire at
tackled the Henderson block on the north
east corner of Queen street. occupied by
James Bonner.gentletnen's furn .ahings, and
Miss Brisley, milinary. Roth stocks were
completely ruined. The roof of G. +.
Adams & Co.'s house furnishings store next
north was burned through and a valuable
stock of furniture. carpets. ETC., was much
damaged by water. A change in the direc-
tion of the wind caused the flames to leap
south across Queen street and imperil the
bank building at the southeast corner of
Yonge street. which was soon ablaze. The
lower fat was occupied by the Impel al
bank. 1t was flooded and escaped serious
damage by fire. The remainder of the build
ing was occupied by j.. E. Brown and Co.
fuInitule le and carpet warehouse, and
the immense stock is a total loss. The next
two stores to tie south fronting Yonge
street is occupied by James Milen and Co.,
hardware, whose stock is ruined. South of
these were Dunfield and Co., gentlemen's
furnishings and the fremont hotel both of
which was badly gutted. The loss is $1.14O.-

Danyille Junction, March 3.-"The Will
SON. was burned to the ground Saturday
afternoon.
The house which had done a remarkable
business last season, was closed for the
winter, and business had been so success
full that plans had been prepared to almost
double its capacity, and already orders had
been booked far in advance go the coming
season bade fair TO be most successful The
house was in charge of a care taker, and on
the morning of the fire he left for Portland
on business, the house being left alone.
THE FIRE
broke out at 2.30 O'Clock, and gained head
way so rapidly that in forty-fve minutes
there was not enough left of the handsome
structure to 'build hen pen with,'' as one
neighbor remarked. The doors were locked
and the first comeis either hesitated TO
break in or the spread of the flames was too
rapid to allow of their entering, but at all
events they were unable to save anything.
There was no water available. and had
Portland's FIRE department been there it
could not have stayed the flames. The
stable buildings were al q distance and so
escaped being burn ed.
WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE?
1t is rumored that the fire was of in
cendiary origin, and it is alleged that foot
steps can be traced in the show from the
woods to the rear of,the house. II is said
that no fire was left in the building, and
consequently there is something of a
mystery regarding it's origin.
A PECULIAR HISTORY.
The burned hotel possessed somewhat
peculiar history. 1t was built at North Ray
mond near famous mineral spring, whose
waters rivalled the famous Poland spring,
and here the Wilson brothers determined to
become rivals of the Rickers- The hotel was
built in the best style at a cost of some S52,-
600, and the furniture cost an additional
$4,000. 1t took time 40 make its beauties
known. and finally the owners became en-
barrassed, and it is said that the venture
cost the life of one of the proprietors.,
In 1895 it was sold under the hammer TO
A. K. and E. A. Doten of Portland for the
sum of S31G0. and subject to mortgage of

drawn would have given handsome
