A BARN BURNED.
Twenty-Three Head OF Stock Perish in
the Flames.

On Tuesday evening about $50 o'clock
smoke was seen issuing from the loft Of the
double decker barn on the farm OF Mr. Candy
Balderston, located in the Sixth district,
about one mile from Colora. Eighteen head
of fine Jersey cows, which were in their stalls
in the basement of the barn had just been
milked, Mr.. Baderston's farmer having Just
started for the creamery with his evening
him, Mrs. Balderston having also discovered
the fire. He hastily returned, and ON reach
ing the barn heard what seemed to him Il
slight explosion. when the flames burst from
the roof.
The destruction of the building was so
rapid however. that little could he done to
save the contents. Eighteen fine cows, two
calves, a pair of mules and horse were
burned, Mrs Balderston and her little son
succeeding in each rescuing horse. Besides
the stock, about fourteen tons Of hay, with
farming implements, tools and feed, were
destroyed. Mr.. Balderston was not at home
on Tuesday, being engaged with a Philadel-
phia firm. and at the time Of the fire was in
Lancaster on business OF the firm. The barn
and contents were insured for $4,000 in the
Farmers and Mechanics Insurance Associa-
tiOn of this county, which, when the quality
of the stock is considered, will not by any
means cover the loss

work at first could not be surpassed. He
had many difficult chances, but accepted
them all successfully
Wilmingtons fielding exceeded that Of the
Institute and they played clean game but
they were not able to bunch their hits at tho
proper time, and so they lost. The account
between ]. T. l, and W. H. S. may now be
called square, this defeat canceling their
