eionor. in reply to Il question by the
Journal, Yesterday, said that he had
not as yet prepared his report as to
incendiary fires for the year; but he
thought the number was not 50 larg"
as in the year 1901. Mr. Carr remarked
that it was somewhat strange that two
women should now be under arrest
charged with arson. One is accused Of
setting fire to some buildings in the
town Of Palermo, and the other is said
to have attempted to fire buildings in
Ellsworth. These women will be tried
at the next session Of the supreme
. curt in their respective counties.
