the railroad authorities be persuaded to give
us agood brick depot at Westminster. There
are times when the store room used blythe
ticket agent will not afford standing room.
The patronage which the road receives at
this point demands it. The proposition to
build one on the basis of subscription Of half
the cost by our citizens, does not commend
itself 10 their acceptance. Westminster is
entitled to good depot, to be built BY the
Company, not our citizens.

Destructive FIRE.-The large bank barn
on the farm owned by Rev. John G. Fritchey,
OF Lancaster, Pa, situated on the New Wind.
SCR road, about p miles from this city, was
completely destroyed by FIRE on Wednesday
night last. The FIRE was discovered between
81 and o'clock, just as Mr.. Reuben Haines,
who cultivates the farm, was about retiring.
The alarm was sounded and many neighbors
fastened to the scene, but, owing TO the ad.
vance the tre had made, were unable to ren.
der any assistance, except in saving some
outbuildings, and the corn house. The stock
and implements were owned by Mr.. Hasha.
bah Haines, of this city, and his loss is very
heavy. Six head of horses, three cows, one
bull, five hogs, harness, $50 bushels of oats,
fodder cutter and horse power were burned
together with very large quantity of hay,
straw and fodder. Mr.. Haines and his men
put the horses away for the night, got their
suppers, then went to the lime kiln aud load
ed the wagon SO as to start early in the morn.
ing, returned to the stable curried the horses
and went to the house, at that time there
were no indications Of fire in the barn.
They used, while in the barn, what is known
as railroad lantern, because of its well
known strength and security. The fire, when
hrst discovered, was in the second story, and
i was in blaze at both ends and the middlei
the stable was filled with smoke to such an
extent that it was sufiocating, notwithstanding
which two horses were rescued and some
farming implements were saved. Noon had
been in the hay NOV during the day, and the
fire is believed to be the work of an ineendi.
airy. The barn is insured in the Baltimore
County Company for 1900. Mr.. Haines is
insured in the Dug Hill Company for 81, 900
on the personal property.
Other accounts state that the stacks OF
fodder, which were some distance from the
barn, were discovered to be on fire simultane
ously with the barn.
