BURNED TO THE GROUND.
EDWARD Meserve's Farm Buildings En-
tirely Destroyed.
They Were Situated at Coal Kiln Corner
and Fire Was Caused by Defective
Chimney-Loss $4,000.

EDWARD Meserve's house, barn and out
buildings at Coal Kiln Corner, were
destroyed by fire last night at about II
O'Clock.
MT. Meserve was alone in the house a.
the time, his family being in Bayonne
N. j. He retired shortly before 10 O'Clock
and was awakened by the loud cracking
of the flames. The house was story anG
half wooden structure with two ellis
connected with a large barn and out
buildings. All of these buildings were
as dry as finder and the flames spread
throughout them with great rapidity.
Mr.. Meserve succeeded in partially
dressing himself and in getting out a
few articles of furniture and valuables
from the house. The wind famed the
flames in the direction of the ellis and
barn, and by the time the neighbors
reached the spot the entire set of build
ings were blazing.
In the barn were two horses, a lot OF
valuable farming tools and two tons OF
hay BY the aid of the neighbors Mr..
Meserve succeeded in getting out the two
horses and all of his farming tools. In
less than half an hour after the flames
were discovered all that remained of the
buildings were ashes and glowing
Goals.
The loss was little more than $4,000,
and Mr.. Meserve said he carried some in
c,,raDca but inst how mich he was una

New York, May 1s-When Captain
Edward W. Reed of the ship 7. F. Cakes,
accused of cruelty to his crew in not pro

Hong Kong to this port, was called for
pleading little before noon today before
Judge Brown, Abram S. Rose, who ap-
peared for the accused, demurred to the
Indictment. He argued that the statutory
regulation under which the Indictment
had been drawn could not be considered a
general one. On a trip from here to the
West Indies a certain class of food, he
maintained, would be considered proper,
but the statute did not say what sort of
food should be furnished between Hong

Many of the big congregation wanted
to applaud his utterances when he said,
There would be no vicious art if there
were no patrons of vicious art; there
would be no vicious literature if there
were no patrons of vicious literature
there would be no vicious plays if there
were no vicious audiences.
The service lost none of its usual re-
Hgious aspect, aside from the address of
the eminent actor. In the audience were
many stage people. In the course of his
remarks Mr.. Herne said:
"The most sublime. play ever saw in
my life was The Passion as presented

Grand Opera House in the city of San

tionS OF the country. The company parad-
ed for the first time October 49, 170S which
date for nearly hundred years the COM
pany has celebrated by parade or other
function.
The first drills were held in the old state
house until 1902, when Faneuil Hall was
obtained as an armory. The old Pine Street
Church, Boylston Hall and Minot Hall
are other well-known landmarks in which
the company has been located.
Since the last war the company has been
called upon three times to assist the civil
authorities. In 1872 it performed guard
duty for an entire week at the great Bos-
ton fire. In 1887. at the time of the street
railway strike in Cambridge it was called
out to prevent threatened destruction of
railway property, but the moral effect of
the presence of the two local companies
ficient to prevent further disturbance, and,
after two days duty, the companies were
dismissed. During 1896 the company was
again called out to assist the police in
handling the vast throngs which visited
the city hall. Cambridge. to pay last
tribute to ex-Gov. William Z. Russell.
whose body was lying in state within.
The company has participated in many
noteworthy events more or less intimately
connected with the nations history. The
social functions of the company have al
ways been of the highest order. the first
balls ever given in Boston Theater and
Boston Music Hall having been given I'M

During recent years the personnel of the
men and the attendance at tours of duty
and weekly drill have been such as to cause
1t to be among the very first in the state.
In rifle practice it stands at the head of
the state. having qualified for ten years
full enrolment. and for the past five
years having led it's regiment in every
competition The officers of the company
are men of long experience, having work
ed their way to their present positions
from the ranks, and all three having been
connected with the company from fifteen
to eighteen years. Capt. Lombard, who
CT mmands the provisional battalion
from Massachusetts. was during 1892
corporal i'll Battery A of Washington, d.
C.. and returned to Massachusetts, upon his
election to his present position. The COM
pany, like all companies of the 1st Regi-

BLUEJACKETs ASHORE.
Five Hundred Jack Tarx March to
the Music of the Union.

thc Oh the Union.
No body OF men in today's parade at
tracted more attention or excited more
enthusiasm than the $50 sturdy bluejackets
who formed such striking feature of the
division which had the high honor of es-
cortins the presidential party to the Capt.
tol and back to the White House. 1t was
the first time in the history of the country
that the jolly jack tars OF the United
states navy have participated in the cere-
monies incident 10 the Inauguration of a
President. This seems somewhat singular
inasmuch as the President Of the United
States is commander-in-chief of the army
and navy.
Because of that fact and also because
of their decidedly nautical dress and bear
ing and generally picturesque appearance
they came in for more than an ordinary
share of attention. That they were favor
ties of the most popular character was
manifested by the cheering that accom-
panied their appearance all along the line
of march. They were dressed in light
marching order and wore the regula tlon
blue jackets. sailor" caps and brown leg
gins, and carried rifles, knapsacks and can
teens. They rolled a little in their gait
and gave other evidences of their life
on the ocean wave" but that only added
piquancy 10 The more regular tread Of

officers wore sedate but neat service Dress
and the absence of the usual brass but
tons was particularly noticeable

in lS43 by the explosion on board the

commissioned as first lieutenant and ord

enlisted men knew their duties and per-
formed them thoroughly.
The 5th Maryland was born as far back
as 1775. and with the exception of short
intervals has continued its organization
till the present time. The regiment of to-
day. however. may be characterized as the
product of the late war. for 1t was re-
formed by men who had reveled in the
smoke of battle and who had fought and
bled on many fields of strife. Within
short space of time after the close of the
war the depleted ranks were filled. and
then began a career of civic glory. The 9Th
Maryland has thrice been called on to per-
form duty in times of tarmoil and riot and
in 1877 bore the chief part in suppressing
in Maryland the great disorder that marked
that year. The visits of the regiment to
Boston and New Orleans awakened in those
far different communities enthusiastic
plaudits. Its encampments at Long Branch,
Cape May and Atlantic City were always
thronged by those who loved good soldier
ing. 1t may truthfully be said that no
body of men in the line today bore them
selves with more conspicuous distinction.
Washingtonians are particularly inter-
ested in the 5th Maryland for the reason
that the commanding officer. Col. Frank
Markoe, was born and reared In this city
Baltimoreans claim that there is no more
gallant soldier In Maryland than Col. Mar
koe.
He not only has a natural aptitude for
military life, but has seen extensive and
dangerous service in the field. As stated
