A JURY OF WOMEN.
They Refused to Separate Mother
: and Her Child.

Chicago, Feb 29.-The verdict of the
only jury Of women ever impaneled in
Cook county has been reversed.
Mrs. Anna Mccain and her eight
year-old daughter Mary have. been sep
arated after being found in squalor at
1922 Aberdeen street.
When the case was brought to the
attention of Judge Lockwood Honore,
the pathos of the circumstances led
him to call Miss Minnie Jacobs, Mrs.
E. Maher, Mrs. Emma Quintan, Mrs.
Elizabeth Perry and two other women
to sit as jury in the litigation. De-
spite the contention of the state that
the aged woman was without means or
support, the feminine jury refused to
send her to public institution, declar-
ing in the formal verdict that a sepa-
ration from her child would break the
aged mothers heart. Now the case
has been reversed by Judge Tuthill.

BLAZE ON A STEAMER.
Fourteen Passengers and Sea-
men Lost Their Lives.
To Add to the Horror the Heavy Seas
Running Meant Death to Any
Person Sent Away in the
Life Boats.

Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. %
After suffering the most narrowing ex-
perience from fire and storm that has
ever befallen craft on the North Pa
cific coast, the steamer Queen Sunday
put in here to report the loss of IA
lives.
About 3:45 o'clock Saturday MORN
ing while off the mouth of the Column
bia river, the Queen caught fire in her
after saloon in some unexplained way.
With indescribable swiftness the fire
gained Roadway and threatened soon
to envelop the whole ship
To add to the horror the heavy seas
running meant death to any sent away
in the life boats. The flames became
more and more threatening until, when
it seemed a choice of deaths, Capt
Cousins ordered the lifeboats launch
ed. They were manned by the crew
and ordered to remain close to the
ship. Into the sea the women and
children were placed. Hardly. how
eyer, had the boats been cast loose
than, unable to weather the fierce
waves, two of them capsized.
The passengers and those of the
crew who remained on board contin-
iued their fight against the flames with
increasing success until, at 7:40. a. m,
the fire was brought under control.
When it was thought the danger from
fire was past, Capt. Cousins recalled
the lifeboats and the occupants were
taken aboard
The Queen was headed for the mouth
of the Columbia river and about 9
O'Clock the steamer Santa Monica was
sighted The Queen signalled and ask.
ed her to stand by until temporary re-
pairs could be made. When every
thing had been made safe the Queen
continued on to the mouth Of the Co
;lumbia, only to find the bar was too
rough to cross in. The distressed craft
was pointed toward Puget Sound, but
bad fortune still pursued and when
she rounded Cape Flattery she encoun-
tered terrific electrical storm. With
difficulty she weathered the gale and
arrived about nightfall.
