mahone's Army Cow.

When the general first entered the
southern army, he was an almost hope
less dyspeptic. He bad suffered for many
years the uncertain and untimely effects
cfthat exasperating malady. He thought
ha should have fresh milk every day In
tho field, for 1t had formed part of his
daily diet at home. so he took COW in
10 the army and carried the beast with
h,m ali through the war. General Ma
hone often related the annoyances the
cow caused him. One time General Lee
came TO him after tho COW had been in
the way and said, General. you will
have 70 leave that COW behind. - 81 can
not do 1t. sir, ;" Malone replied. "If we
cannot get along with tie COW, / will
have TO resign. - So the COW remained,
and she was actually at General Ma
homes camp ON that memorable day
when Leo surrendered to Grant at APP
pomattox.
General Malone took the animal homo

was noted also in tho army for tho COM
plete household outfit he carried. With
cooking utensils he was particularly
we'll supplied, and he afterward often
Doasted that he lived just as we'll in the
army as he lived later in Washington.

Bad Fire in Providence.

Providence, R. l., March 19.-This
morning fire broke out in the Masonic
building shortly after O'Clock, totally
destroying that edifice, beside causing
considerable damage to adjacent build
iDgs.
The fire had gained a big start and be-
fore any ST. cams could be directed upon
the structure the flames were pouring
from the upper part of the building in
great volumes.
The heaviest part of the blaze was in
the central portion of the building.
From the Pine street side the Hremen
played numerous streams from the es-
capes and roof Of the Providence Opera
building. That structure seemed the
most probable victim of the blaze. In
less than a half hour from the time the
blaze was discovered the central and rear
portions of the building were enveIoped
in flames and the bare walls formed a
perfect chimney for the column of flames
The water tower was ordered out q few
minutes before the Dorranoe street wall
fell. From the time Of the crashing of
tho side and rear walls, the work of the
firemen was simplified, and the fret me-
nacing blaze was under control about
$50. Tho loss is estimated at $500, 600.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Work VIII Soon be Resumed on Shore
Line.

j. W. Mitchell of this city, the Washing
ton county railroad contractor, has high
hopes Of the roads early annd rapid con-
struction, and great confidence of Its
prosperity when once in operation. A
location has been filed via. Sullivan, as
matter of form, althou gh it is not def
nitely decided, Mr.. Mitchell says, wheth-
er the road will run via Sullivan or by
franklin road. Seven miles, from Ma
chias west, have been graded, and on or
about May operations will be resumed,
with the intention of accomplishing a
great part of the remaining construction
this year. The operations of 1895 will
probably begi n on the eastern end of the
line, and if enough track can be laid to
make it an object, the section constructed
this year will be put into immediate
operation.
Mr.. Mitchell thinks the Washington
county road ought to pay better than the
Bangor and Ar oostook, for, he says, the
coast people are greater travellers than
tho potato farmers, and the county, al
though ha wing only 40 per cent of Aroos-
looks ar ca, has nearly the same popula-
ton and greater valuation. There is
no doubt that the new road will be q
