Alargc barn belonging to Mr.. Albert
ii. Kellogg, who lives on WILDLY Is
land, about mile and a half from the
| light house, was burned to the ground
about o'clock Tuesday morning, Jan.
Sth The loss, including farm imple
ments, twelve tons of hay, two tons OF
| feed, etc, was about 81 ,250. No insur-
ance. There were in the barn at the
time horses, - COWS and calves,
which were all saved except two of the
calves. The family OF Mr.. Kellogg were
| asleep when the fire broke out, except
| ing Mrs kellogg, who first heard the
cracking of the flames, and gave the
alarm Just in time to save the stock. The
| fire originated in the silo which Mr.. Kel-
logg had built in connection with the
| barn last summer, and is undoubtedly
case of spontaneous combustion. The
| silo contained ut the time about 90 tons
| of ensilage and had not yet been open
| ened. The evening before the fire he
noticed steam issuing from one corner,
and taking cut the doors above the en-
siIage, found that the silage had settled
away from that corner. Upon examl-
nation il was found to be hot and drip
ping wet, but as steam and heat had is
sued from the silo ever since its filling,
nothing was thought of it, but he filled
| the space with ensilage and trlmped it
| in solid to exclude the air. Only last
week he read in an eastern agricultural
paper that one had never been known
to burn.
