Fire Near the Fair Grounds.

WOodstown was aroused on WedDesd ay
evening by tue burning of the barn,
wagon-house and sheds on the EXHIBIT
ton" farm, near the Fair grounds.
occupied by John Datz. The fire was
disco vered a few minutes before seven
o'clock by Edwin Reeves and hired man,
who were driving into Woodstown, and
who fastened to the scene and gave the
alarm TO DATE, who was in the house. The
two horses in the barn were cut loose. but
none too quickly, as the whole interior was
soon a mass 0 fflames. From the barn. in
which the fire started, the flames were
blown across the pig-pen, to the wagon
and clubhouse, aud soon all the out-build-
ings OH the farm were wrapped in the en-
brace OF the destroying element, aud the
crowd of townsmen who had been at
tracted to the scene by the reflection ofthe
flames, stood watching the destruction
being wrought, powerless to render any
assistance toward the saving of the pro-
perty. The house, which was almost
directly in the wake of the flames. was at
one time thought to be in danger. the roof
having caught fire in several places from
the flying embers, and willing hands SOON
removed all the household goods to a place
of safety, while others mounted the roof.
and With buckets of water kept the shin
Sies dfeDcned. Inc lear as to tue house
was unfounded, as the flames spent their
force on reaching the wagon-house. and
the furniture and other household goods
were replaced, much the worse in many
instances for their hurried removal.
The origin cfthe fire is unknown, though
some think that the ashes from a pipe in
the hands Of some one in the barn may
have caused it. Jacob Datz. brother of
John, says that no one had been in the
barn since half-past four O'Clock, while
john, when asked who was in the barn
last, stated to a MONITOR representative
thathe did not know. Or the ten pigs in the
pen adjoining the barn, only two were
saved, the rest being burned up, it being
impossible to get the Door animals out of
the pen on account of the intense heat.
One of the rescued ones was so badly
burned that it was killed. Beside the
pigs, the loss comprises about Is tons of
hay, eight tons Of wheat straw, twenty
two loads of corn, a few bushels of wheat,
stack of hay, harness and plows, on which
there was no insurance. The total loss is
estimated at 5000. On the buildings of
the farm which is owned by Mrs. Abbie
Clawson. OF Bfidgeton, and is leased by
the w. }. A. Il H. Association, who sub
let it to Mr. Datz, We are unable to ascer-
tain the loss. or whether or not they were
insured.
Mr.. Datz is an industrious German, who
has only lately commenced farming, ard
the loss fails with unusual severity on him.
