THE FIRE AT MARANACOCK
The Hotel Burned and Four Lives Lo

MARANACooK, ME-, Aug. 27. Four people
fire which destroyed the Maranacook Hotel
Saturday morning. The dead are: Robert
d. Boutwell,, aged II, of Maiden, Mass,
clerk at the hotel; Edward A. Martin, Mrs
Edward A. Martin and Spencer Martin,
their seven-year old son, of Roslindale,
Mass. The injured are: Mrs. George Ii.
Hassam, Needham, Mass, leg broken, ankle
sprained, internal injuries George II. Has
sam, Needham, Mass, bruised; J. w. Max
well, Brooklyn, n. Y, injury to abdomen
and ankle; Fred Maxwell, aged 10, Brook
lyn, n Y, ankle sprained. The loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000 with only about $2,-
200 insurance. The building was owned by
the Maine Central Railroad Company and
was leased by George B. Cabot and Bert
B. Nutter, two Massachusetts men, this
being their first season. The fire was
discovered by train crew on the rail-
road and had secured good headway at the
time. There were about 6O table guests
house, the majority occupying cottages
nearby.
Clerk Boutwell, worked like a slave from
the time he was aroused until it was be-
leved that all of the guests had been
rescued. He was severely burned about
the head and neck and his great exertion in
his condition proved too much and he died
from his injuries about 2 O clock, Sunday
The bodies of the other dead
were not discovered until the ruins had
cooled sufficiently to allow search to be
made. Maran acoOk is in the town of Read
field and with the Hackett murder and this
terrible fire the staid old town has had ex-
citement enough to last good many years.

NOT THE BROWN TAIL MOTH.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL; |
saw by last weeks issue of your paper that
some one had found the brown tail moth on
their apple trees. think that l can allay
all fears in that direction, for whatever Mr..
Triggs has found, unless all authority is in
error, 1t cannot be the brown tail, for at this
season of the year they are not in the larya
state but in the moth state and are flying
around or depositing their eggs. They are
about of an inch long and are white with
brown tail A few, and but few, have
been seen in this vicinity. This new thing
that has struck us like an avalanche is
wholly unlike the larva of brown tail larva.
The larva of the brown tail appears to be
in SectiOnS-ten or eleven in number-and
there is a tuft of white hair growing out at
right angles with the body on each side that
sprangle out like the whiskers of a cat.
They also have the same kind of hair at
the head and at the tail, so that at first sight
it is hard to distinguish the head from the
tail They do their destructive work in
June on the bud, blow and leaf
! have been flooded with samples of this
new pest from various places in the coun-
try. l never have seen it before and have
submitted it to the State entomologst and
am looking for information in relation to
it by each mail. AS many as fifty differ
ent lots from different towns have been
brought to me, nearly all of them of differ
ent size and age, but of the same species.
All have the same villainous looking black
head. Some are not over fourth of an inch
long and of light brown color. When
from an inch to two inches long they are
striped alternately black and green. Some
of those brought me We're fully three inches
long and as they laid in a mass they all had
brightish green look not unlike the pus-
sizes on the willows in the springtime. They
are stripping the young apple trees here
and will strip young tree in day and go
no one knows where, for they do not go
on to the adjoining tree. When you meet
them again they are in. some other part of
the orchard perhaps remote from the first
ones.
In conclusion ! will say that several sam
pie Of sarrock moth have been brought me.
This is the fellow whose nests were largely
taken for that OF the brown tail last spring.
1t may be easily distinguished for it has
tuft of hair about the third the length of
the body at each end, growing from the
body, that near the head santing for
ward at an angle of about 45 degrees, while
that at the tail slants backwards at about
the same angle ] will close by reiterating
that whatever has been discovered as a
pest on the trees in Belfast at this season of
the year it is not the brown tail moth

PEACE ASSURED.

Monday brought word from the Peace
Conference at Portsmouth, N. H., that
Japan had submitted modified propositions
that it was thought Russia would accent
and the evening papers of Tuesday and the
morning papers of Wednesday proclaimed
in their largest type that peace was assured
and that the war in the East would end.
The great problem was solved by Japan
withdrawing all claims for indemnity and
yielding to Russia cn every disputed point,
the only concession on the part of Russia
being the retention of the Southern half of
Sakalin. Work on the treaty was begun
Tuesday afternoon.
