Country Club House at Pawtuxet
Destroyed by Fire.
One of Finest Examples of Colonial
Architecture In New England.

! The fine club house of the Country
Club which was located on the shore of
Narragansett Bay, just below Pawtuxet
was detroyed by fire this morning. The
fire caught in the kitchen and spread SO
rapidly that 1t was impossible 20 save
anything more than portion of the fur
nishings, the fire protection at this sec
ton being very poor.
The Country Club for about five years
has occupied this old mansion, which was
everywhere recognized us one Of the finest
specimens of colonial architecture in New
England. IL was built by James Rhodes

.Jamos From him IL was purchased by
Nicholas Brown of the firm of Brown ~
Ives and he erected n library wing at q
east Of $40, 600 making one of the largest
single apartments in any private home in
Rhode Island While the exterior of the
house was very imposing the interior was
magnificent in every respect being deco
rated with tho most exquisite carving.
Five years ago the Country Club pur-
chased the property and six months ago
IL was sold TO A. l.. Andrews of this city
who allowed the house 20 be used for club
purposes, intending To cut up the sur
rounding property TO sell it for house
lots TO persons desiring an elegant site for

Jury'S Finding in the Doc
tor PirlOt Case.
He Was Charged With Prac-
ticing Medicine Illegally.
The Jurymen Took But Short
Time To Reach An Agreement.

A Jury in Judge Wilbur's court that
had heard the testimony in regard to DR.
julius A. Pirlot's practicing medicine
without certificate from the State Board
of Health this forenoon brought in q
verdict of guilty. 1t took the jury but a
short time to reach a verdict
The greater part of the testimony was
taken yesterday afternoon. DR. Pirlot
maintains that he never received any
notice from the State Board of Health
notifying him that it would be necessary
10 obtain a certificate. DIR. Gardner Il.
Swarts this morning testified that a
letter was sent TO DR. Pirlot notifying
him of the provisions of the statutes in
this regard.
There was some Interesting testimony
given today and the jury were told some
amusing things by one of the witnesses
for the defense. This witness was regis
tered pharmacist Miller, who claimed
though he had small interest in the
business, that he practically ran the drug
store for Mrs. Pirlot, the wife of the
doctor. Mr.. Miller was sharply cross
examined by Attorney General Dubois as
TO the cost of certain medicines purchased
by witnesses for the state.
The defendant claimed that he charged
no fees for consultation and that he sim
ply worked in the drug store. Pharmacist
Miller said that three bottles of medicine
sold TO witnesses for 1.-The .state had been
put up by him. One of these he charged
s.. 80 for and the attorney general ex-
amined as to the cost. Mr.. Miller gave n
list of the drugs that went into the S.. 30
compound and admitted that the cost of
the compound including the bottle did
not exceed 90 cents. The profit on the
other medicine was not as large. Mr..
Miller explained the large profit in the
first medicine by saying that since drug
gist had TO sell patent medicines for cost
they had to make living some way and
it was necessary TO get good prices for
medicines sold by prescriptions. He also
volunteered TO show the attorney general
the names of s. preparations on a whole
sale druggists price list that consisted of
simply chlorate of potash and water.
On the drug store kept hy Mrs. Pirolt
which is at 252 South Main street there
was sign announcing that consultations
were free

The mysterious disappearance OF Walter
McNaughton from his homo in this city
on January 6 has fatal sequel, the story
today
The special dispatch to The News from
Oregon is as follows:
Portland, Ore, March 10. Last Tuesday
the dead body of man was found in the
Willamette River While lying in the
morgue yesterday the body was identi-
fled as that of Walter McNaughton, who
conducts a nursery in Providence, X. /.
When found the body had been dead over
week. The police are puzzled rs to
whether the man committed suicide or
was the victim of foul play The Proyi-
dence authorities have been communicated
with.
The accuracy with which the Portland
authorities have stated the facts leaves but
little room for doubt as TOY the authentic
ity of the report and Mr. McNaughton' S
three children in this city have given up
hope of ever seeing him again.
His departure from Providence was as
much mystery as the manner of his
death is.
On the sixth day of last January he got
up at o'clock in the morning and with

43 Plenty street and went to the depot
where he took thelfirst: train for Boston.
The members of his family made every
effort To locate him without asking for
police assistance and finally his son Colin,
bookkceper at the Davol Rubber Com
pany, traced him to Boston and here it
was learned that he had bought ticket
for Glasgow, Scotland, and embarked on
a Cunard steamer.
He probably returned by the same ship
for on Feb -, AZ days after he left home,
he was heard from In Oakland, Cal. Two
weeks later another letter dated at the
same place, was received by his children
here and that is the last that has been
heard of him until the message of his
death came today.
His children are Colin McNaughton,
Miss Lille McNaughton, teacher at the
Bellevue avenue school, and Mrs. George
+. Foster. When their father went away
all were living at 43 Plenty street, nearly
opposite the greenhouses but none of
them can account for his sudden and
unannounced departure, except in gen
eral way on the ground that he was an
eccentric old gentleman.

His son Colin said today that his father
was always queer and told the story of
another trip TO California, To illustrate
what he meant. In lS4S when his father
was 20 years old he proposed marriage TO
his mother, young woman in Boston.
She said no at the time and told him To
wait until she was ready.
"Will you bo ready when / see you

said that she would be.
She did not see nor hear from him again
for four years. He had gone TO California
with he mining pioneers of AS, but
when he did return early in the fifties he
went to Boston Immediately TO see if the

LIVER CLOGGING.
WHEN YOUR STOMACH CLOGS YOUR
IIvER SEE TO YOUR DIGESTION.

Not one person in thousand knows that the
cause of biliousness is the elogging of the liver
by the posons of Indigestion. Nor that the
only proper cure for il is torc to aid the stom-
ach But modern medicine declares the truth
of it. And the Shakers have proved it by the
wonderful success of their Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
One OF the most important uses of the liver is
to arrest and destroy all poisons which try to
find tlier way into the blood. When it's
clogged, it can't do this.
Undigested food ferme1ts and putrefies in the
stomach, and the posons of putrefact ton clog
and paralyze the liver after which they find
their way into the blood.
Here is the true explanation of all the dis
tressing disorders and complications caused by
indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
cordial which aids the stomach in a natural
way to digest it's food. By this means, it cures
indigestion, restores the liver, and frees the
body from poison and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental de-
preston. weakness. bad taste. fever. fiatulence,
constipation, loss of appetite aneamia, rheu-
matsm, and many other disorders are relieved
and cured by Shaker Digestive Cordial.
At druggists. Ten cents for trial bottle.

sWANToN-JAMEsoN FAILURE.

Bath, December 16.-The creditors of
Swanton, Jameson & Co., whose failure
caused a sensation in the summer met
today and heard the report of their COM
mittee. An investigation of the assets of
the firm justified the belief that net re-
suit above so per cent can be realized
from the assets of the firm.
The committee recommended that the
offers submitted be transferred to the as I.
signees for consideration and that the as
signees be vested with full power to dis
pose of the assets in such manner as in
their judgment will yield the largest net
result to the creditors.
Messrs. ]. G. Jameson and n. W.
Swanton made two propositions, one of
which was to pay eight per cent in ten
days, eight per cent in four months, and
the same percentage in eight. twelve and
sixteen months, making forty per cent in
all. The other proposition was ten per
cent in ten days and in four, eight and
twelve months, with interest at six per
cent from the day of ASST gnment, July
81, 1897.
