A COSTLY FIRE.
Destruction of Handsome Residence
and Contents at Rockville.


Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, January 81, 1898
Last night between 10 and IL o'clock the
large and handsome residence occupied by
Mrs. c. A. Hill, formerly of Washington,
which was situated In the west end OF
town, was discovered to be on fire, and be-
fore midnight it was smoldering mass of
ruins. The fire was first discovered near
the roof in the rear portion of the build
ing, and Is supposed to have originated
from defective fiue. The house was
furnished throughout, and con-
tanned in addition large and valuable Ii
brary. A large portion of the furniture
and belongings on the lower floor was
saved but some of 1t In a damaged con-
dition The house was OF wood, and the
flames made rapid Roadway. The fire de-
partment succeeded in saving the out
buildings and adjoining property.
The house was built several years ago
Tor Captain Kellogg of the navy and he
and his family resided in it for some time
II was afterward bought by Judge John
1. Ninson, who spent several hundred dol
lars In improvements on the property. The
loss sustained will reach in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, upon which there was no
Insurance. 1t is said that the furniture
and contents were partially insured. This
house stood upon one of the highest points

tract stocks in regular houses was
