The farm buildings and most of the
household goods of Chas. H Aldrich,
better known as the Jonathan Davis
place in Sutton, near West Burke village,
were entirely destroyed by fire Thurs
day afternoon. The weather was very
dry, help was scarce at the needed time
and only small amount of water at
hand. A spark from the chimney was
the cause of the fire, lighting on the
horse barn, setting fire to the roof, going
through into the stalls then through in
to the basement, burning three barns,
the shed and house. The stock was out
TO pasture except one colt and several
hens, which were burned. One hog, sup
posed to have been burned, turned up
after the fire, with ears and tail badly
burned. The furniture was nearly to-
tai loss. Nothing was removed from
the cellar The buildings were only par
TALLY insured. Mr.. Aldrich is employed
by Fairbanks Scale Co., and was in St.
Johnsbury at the time of the fire.

CAM DID NOT SAIL.

Loaded on the Steamship.
The British steamship Cam, which
has been lying at pier 1 North River for
several days, and which was expected
to sail this morning for Chinese and
Japanese ports, did not leave her dock
to-day.
Whether or not the report that she had
in her cargo a consignment of arms and
ammunition for one or the other of the
warning nations had anything to do
with her failure to put to sea could not
be definitely learned.
Nevertheless two United States deputy
marshals strolled about the dock all day
side the Cam lay the lighter Titan with
her deck loaded with long narrow cases
which were very heavy, judged by the
way the deckhands tugged and pried at
them.
The cases were being hoisted on

PLENTY OF DEN|ALS.
Brsekway's Defense Is Laid Out
on Those Lines.
Keeper SempIe Fsrgets What He
Said at the First Inquiry.
but Admits that Men Were Struck
on the Head with Straps.

The defense adopted by Brockway and
his Board of Managers in the Elmira
Reformatory investigation was clearly
outlined by the testimony taken yester-
day. 1t Is to be a general denial by the
keepers, guards and other Reformatory
officials of the evidences Of cruelty con-
tanned in the sworn statements OF over
80 prisoners.
This plan will probably be followed
, until all of the keepers and others &C.
cused of brutality have had an oppor-
kunity to deny the charges against
them.
Brockway was again absent when the
Commissioners opened the second days
proceedings for the defense at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel this morning. The belief
grows that he will not be called upon
to testify.
Samuel Semple, head keeper. was re-
called for cross-examination. Judge
Gilbert read over Semple's testimony at
the first investigation. and asked him II
he remembered making the statements
contained In II.
To some twenty such questions semple
seemed to have no difiiculty about re-
calling the events asked about. even to
minor details, but could not remember
his previous testimony
Semple admitted having struck and
knocked down inmates. but said that 1t
was done only when necessary to SUBJ
due them or in self-defense.
About 10 per cent. of the men punished
were struck over the head by Brockway
with strap or paddle. In per cent
OF the cases the blows left marks on
the head or face.
In the case Of Josep Schneider, who
was carried from the bathroom insensi-
Bile. Semple said the man threw himself
on the floor to escape punishment with
such force as to render him unconscious
John Bigley, keeper. had witnessed fifty
whippings. He denied the statements Of
inmates as to brutal punishment.
August Bandorf, foreman In the
,Reformatory foundry, testified to the
tasks performed by inmates.
John s. Coleman, keeper, saw no evil
dences Of brutality at the Reformatory.
He did not believe that Murray, the
inmate. whose death 1t Is claimed was
party due to the severe punishment he
received, had been cruelty beaten. and
after oath could discover no evidences
Of ill-treatment on the body.
