ANOTHER BIG FAIR FIRE.
AGRICULTURAL BUILDING BURNED
TO THE GROUND.

Incendlaries Started the Blaze which
Destroyed One Of the Finest Of Build
ings- Description OF the Place and Its
Contents.
CHICAGO, Feb. 24-The Agricultural
Building, one OF the handsomest struct
ures on the Worlds Fair grounds, was
burned down this morning. Everything

of it, but the flames spread with great
rapidity. famed by brisk wind, until
the destruction was completed.
The Gre started at Z o'clock and thou
sands Of people we're drawn to the
scene. Although little can be learned Of
the origin OF the Ere, It was undoubtedly
incendiary
The big Agricultural Building during
the fair was, frequently. the center Of
attraction for the millions Golden
grain from q million tillages decked It's
walls Artists spent months In devlsing
zigzag friezes, traced out in cunningly de.
vised patterns Of red. yellow and
black seeds. and the result was a com.
bination Of art and agricultural products
that fairly bewildered the dwellers in
tho rural districts when they entered the
temple of Ceres.
The exhibit. too, had the merit OF
being practically complete Russia, the
wheat field Of Europe, had the largest
space, her exhibit occupying nearly
10, 900 feet, the most Of which was devoted
to wheat. Two British dependencies,
Australia and Canadalwere next in size,
their respective exhibits taking up nearly
1000 feet each. Germany, too. was well
represented, and Brazil had transferred
her entire national exhibit from
last years exposition, at Rio de JaneirC
to the floor Of Agricultural Hall.

ELECTRICITY IN QUEEN ANNES.

Project and it is Proposed to Organize
a Company with a Capital of $500. 900.
CENTREvILLE, Md, Feb. PA char
ter has been prepared for an electric
railway through Queen Anne's county.
The project has been considered for some
time by capitalists Of this county and Of
Baltimore
The incorporators at present men.
toned are J. b Brown. w. w. Busteed
and Wilmer Emory, of Centreville, and
r G. Davidson. Bartlett S. Johnston, w.
B. Brooks, Jr., and William s. Bosley,
of Baltimore. It is proposed to organize
with a capital of $500, 600 The plan has
not been fully formulated, but the in.
tention is to construct the railroad from
Centreville to Queenstown first and then
to extend it north to Chestertown via
Churchill, andialsoisouth to Love Point,
on Kent Island Possibly there will be
branches to Denton through Wye Mills
and Hillsboro and also to Easton.
One OF the Baltimore members, with
au expert civil engineer, recently rode
over part of. the proposed route Both
were impressed with kthe section of the
country and the character of the sur
face, which is such that the expense OF
laying track, grading, etc., would be
comparatively small.
The accomplishment Of this sche me
would supply what seems to be a neces-
sary means OF communication between
the residents of the sections through
which 1t is proposed TO build the line
Various plans have been proposed, but
none wers ever adopted. 1t Is hoped
here that the present movement will re-
suit in the construction of road, which
it is asserted, will give excellent returns
to the stockholders
