HIS LEG is FRACTURED.
Case of Washington Davis Diagnosed
at the HOspitaI Yesterday.

When Washington Davis was taken
to the Lackawanna hospital Thursday
night from the police station, where he
was allowed to remain for many hours
with an injured leg, the hospital physi-
clans were unable to accurately dag
nose the case owing to the great swell
ing At the point of injury, the knee.
Yesterday the swelling was so re-
duced as to permit an examination and
it was determined that the leg was
fractured just at the knee and as was
stated at the hospital ut is a bad frac-
ture at that"
IN another column Chief Robling says
that Davis walked to the station house
after he fell in front of Lohmanns
restaurant and sustained the injury to
his leg. Just how he managed to walk
with badly fractured leg no one save
the chief seems to be able to under
stand. It's a most unusual circum-
stance to say the least.

THE ALEX. DUNN FIRE.
Insurance Men Estimate the Loss at
Four Thousand Dollars.

No new light was thrown on the or
igin of the fire at Dunn's hat store
Sunday night and the first theory,
that a match was carelessly dropped
among inflammable material has to be
accepted.
The loss is not as yet computed, but
the estimate by the insurance men
places it at so per cent. of the insur-
ance figure. or $4,000. Mr.. Dunn says
his stock was valued at $4,000 and
what was not totally destroyed was
badly damaged by smoke and water.
The insurance amounting to $4,000
was carried by the Schadt, Stark &
Twin. Newton & Jackson, Moore and
Eolard agencies. There was an insur-
a3cc of $1550O on the building. The
loss it is estimated will not exceed
81 500

Historic Mansion Burned.

''Blenheim,' the historical homestead Of
the late Benjamin Ogle Lowndes and one
of the old landmarks of this county, was
destroyed by fire Monday. The mansion
was built in 192 in the midst of 4 beauti-
full grove of trees to the west of Bladens-
burg Since the death of its owner, Blen-
helm has been occupied by an Old color
ed servant, Sarah Matthews, and her son,
Albert Matthews. The old colorcd wo-
man worked for Mr. Lowndes for thirty
two years, and she and her son were
allowed to remain as the guardian Of the
property, in accordance with the de-
cedent's wish
The fire burned for nearly three hours
before the walls fell 1t is said that the
old colored servant Tossed all her savings,
nearly 5000 in cash, stored away in Il
trunk. The mansion was insured in the
Montgomery County Mutual Company
for an amount, it is said, sufficient to
cover the loss. The Hyattsville fire com
pany turned out, but on account of the
long distance to travel and scarcity of
water, could do but little service.
