of Mr.. Christopher Erb, formerly Of this eoun-
~ but now living in Clarke county, Va;
A few days ago we we're shown through the
large barn built during the past summer by
Mr.. G. Erb. on his farm situated about miles
northwest Of BerryYille. II is the largest
building Of the kind in the county, and per
haps in the State, and has all the conveniences
devised by modern ingenuity. Il is 100 feet
long by 80 feet wide, u feet high to the square
of stabling, substantially built, contains two
stables capable Of holding 20 horses and four
stables more that will hold 80 head Of cattle.
There are three feed rooms, into each of which
is introduced water for conveniently mixing
ehOp.feed The water is forced to the barn
through pipes from a well more than 100 yards
distant by means of the celebrated Star Wind
Pump, which is so popular with all who are
now using them and which pumps are manu-
faetured by Mr. Erb. The upper part of the
barn is divided into threshing floors, NOW
floors, granaries, &c, and is amply lighted
with windows. This immense barn gives
Mr.. Erb shelter for all his stock and ample
room to store in it all the feed required for
them during the winter 1t was built BY Mr..

Baltimore Herald.s wouId-bc Mursl


On the morning of October Sd, 1873, Henry
Hiner, of Taneytown district, was found IN
diving condition in front ofthe hearth of | mon
Hotel, in this place, where there was wood
FIRE. Mr.. Hiner was so much burned that he
lived but few days after being found. The
alleged confession of Patrick Tully, that he
and David Linah had robbed Hiner, and then
poured coal oil on his clothes and set fire to
him, published in the Baltimore Herald, Is
not true. Your correspondent lived here at
the time Mr.. Hiner was burned and has lived
here ever since. He was personally acquainted
with Messrs Hiner, Linah and FULLY, and will
give some facts regarding this disgracefu
charge against our community
After reading the Herdld'S article your
correspondent called on DIR. c. Birnie, who
attended Mr.. Hiner after he was burned on
the date above given, and learned that Mr..
Hiner had told the Doctor that he lHlner)
could not tell how he got burned; that Hlner
clothes were not saturated with coal Oil, and
from the manner in which he was burned 1t
could not have been done by coal OIL. Dr.
Birnie was also Mr. Tully's physician and he
does not believe that either he or Linah had
ANYTHING to do with liners burning, and be
heves the whole story to be a fabrication
Your correspondent then called on Rev. L.
A. Long. the reverend gentleman to whom,
the Herald asserted, Mr.. Tully made the con
fession. Mr.. Long said that he called on Mr..
Tullv when he heard that he was III, and read
10 him and PRAYED for him. He did this sew
eral times during Tullys illness, and he be
heved that Mr. fully is in better world, al
most his last words being he had nothing on
his mind and was at peace with his God and
anv contrary statement was untrue.
Mrs. David Iinah. who resides here, and
the widow of David Linah. whom the Herald
alleged was Mr.. Tully's partner in the falsely
reported crime. was next called on, and she
stated that her husband was at home on the
night that Hiner got burned, but that he waited
on Hiner after the burning until he died.
In regard to the Herald personal illusions
to Tullv and Linah, your correspondent will
simply state that all the harm they did was TO
themselves.
If IA stranger were here he would think that
all Tanevtown was selling out Since our last
report John Davidson has sold his house and

Davidson has purchased the dwelling of Jo-

an eligible location can be secured for the
erection of hotel building, and the wants Of
the city demand that our citizens take active
measures to supply that need. am sure there
is business energy enough in our midst to effect
this purpose The money can be readily OBJ
tanned, and the enterprise can be made sue
