Hon. M. J. Groves Barn Burned
Five Head of Horses Perish

The large bank barn at the home of
the Hon. M. j. Grove, at Lime Kiln,
this county, was destroyed by fire on
Sunday evening last, about six o'clock,
together with all its contents, consist
ing of five head of valuable work
horses, about twenty tons of hay, a
wagon and some farming implements,
large lot of harness, about seventy
five bushels of wheat and a quantity
of straw. Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Grove
had Just returned from drive and had
gone into the house only few minutes
before the fire was discovered. Miss
Laura Grove also discovered the
fire issuing from the barn aud at once
notified the other members of the fam
ily. Before any attempt could be
made to suppress the fire the whole
building was a mass of flames. Mr..
Grove first made an effort to reach the
five horses which were tied in sepa-
rate stalls, but found it impossible to
enter the building The barn was sit
uated in close proximity to a row OF
buildings that extend nearly to the
porch of the residence. The corn
house and pig pen were the first of
this row and soon ignited and were
consumed. The intense heat from the
burning buildings made it difficult to
get near enough to the other build
ings to fight the flames, but
with generous supply of water
close at hand and strong bucket brig
ade of friends, who assembled TO assist
in the work, kept the fire confined to
the barn. Several times the dwelling
seemed to be in danger of being ignited
by sparks, and at one time it became
so threatening that household articles
were being removed for safety, but as
the house is built of stoue and protected
by slate roof is likely the only reason
it was saved. The roof of the ice house
was badly damaged, and several other
small buildings slightly damaged be-
fore the flames could be extinguished.
Mr. Manassas J. Grove was not at
home at the time of the fire.
The origin of the fire is not known,
and the only theory as to its
cause is that match was dropped in
some loose straw and tramped on by
horse, thus igniting it. Messrs. Eugene
and Harry Grove were on their way to
Frederick when their attention was
called to the fire in the direction of
their home. They at once started back.
Mr.. Grove estimates his loss at So, 500,
with insurance divided as follows: On
barn, 500; wheat and grain, 5000;
buggies and harness 500, making a
total of $1,000. The horses were all
valuable work horses which were used
about the kilns. The dwelling of Mr..
Grove was destroyed about ten years
ago by fire originating from spark
from passing locomotive.

show that many acts worthy OF COM
mendation and congratulation have
marked your administration of the af-
fairs of Frederick. 1t is particularly
gratifying to me to notice that nearly
all the suggestions made to you in my
message of one year ago have been car
ried out. Tne City Hall has been
! thoroughly cleaned, retitted and re-
painted and is now brilliantly illumi-
mated with electricity aud comfortably
heated with steam, arrangements hay-
ing also been carried into effect to try
the experiment of leasing it. | would
further recommend the continued inn
provement of our public buildings by
the repainting and refitting of the Reg
ister's room and Mayors office and
the repairing and painting of the ex-
terror of the building. all of which
would add materially to its comfort
and appearances.
The increase of the sinking fund dur
| ing the year has brought it up to its
present aggregate Of $50, 2l3.l6, and in
| this connection | would again reiterate
my recommendation that when 1t
reaches $47,500 that much of the city Is
debt of $547, 500 be paid off, reducing
! the balance to an even 100000.
| It is gratifying to know that there is

and efficiency of the city electric light
plant. We have won recognition in
