SEVERAL BUILDINGS BURNED.
Property Of Butcher Dinenbaugh Destroys
By An lnCondiary

s'"Po'S US ',u'e"oT D'"onDnugn destroyed
By An Incendisry.
h. w. DiffenbauRb, butcher, who resides
at North Queen and Lemon streets, met
with serious loss by hre this morning.
He Is the owner Of property on the Old
Factory road In Lancaster township, on
which are quito q number OF buildings.
This morning after two o'clock fire was
discovered In the buildings, and an
alarm was struck from box sixty
four at Rockland and Chester streets
Although the fire department quickly
responded they were able to do little OF
any account, as the fire had gained too
much headwsy. In short time a brick
stable, four pig pens, the slaughter house,
wagon she'd and refrigerator, which were
all very close together, were destroyed.
The dwelling house was on fire several
times, butit wss saved ~ were several other
buildings. The contents OF tho buildings
included GOO pounds Of lard, four wsgons,
two sleighs and some hay. They were all
burned. The entire property, including the
house, was Insured with Eek enrode q Myers
for S3.67b In the New Hampshire company,
and u. 375 In the Union OF San Francisco.
The loss will be greater than the insurance.
How the fire originated no ono seems to
know. There was fire In the engine up 10
$3.50 In the evening, but the buildings did
not catch. 1t is likely that It was the work
oi an incendisry, a. the fire started on the
south side OF tho buildings.

Great excitement prevails at Woods
Valley In Dickson county, Tenn, In con.
sequence of the killing at that sce on
Monday night OF Dr. J. Q. Brake, on.
section. DR.. Brake, who was "a years
Of sse and . bachelor, was q leadirg
member of the Masonic fraternity ana
stood high In the public estimation. He
resided with Riley blston, who conducted
the saw mill and managed the farm owned
by DR.. Brake. Between 6 and o'clock
Monday night the attention Of Brake and
Slaton was attracted by horse at the stable,
and suspecting that an attempt was being
made to steal the horue, the two men pro.
cured 10 lantarn, and started toward the
building. Brake, who was In advance OF
SlstoD, was about 10 enter the stable when
q man who was hidden behind q tree
stepped forward ind fire on Brake. A
second shot quickly followed, and SlstoD,
who bore the lantern, held II up, aud
recognized the man who had done tho
firing. The latter at once shot the third
time, and Brake, who had fallen mortslly
wounded, called TO Slaton for assistance.
Before Slaton could 20 TO the aid Of the
dying man, two other men, who had also
been concealed, made their appearance.
One Of them walked up to the prostra,o
body OF Brake, and grsspinR his gun by
the psrrel he lifted the stock ir the air and
brought It down with great force upon
Brakes head, crushing tho skull and
causing instant death. Slaton, who stood
BY powerless to help Brake, next
received the attention OF the men
who were concerned In the deed.
They started toward him, when

said the motive for tho killing was family
matter, and that the men had not attempted

trouble was momentarily expected.
Dr. Brake was q native Of Davidson
