FIRE ON ADOICKS' FARM
A Barn and Several Other Buildings
We're Destroyed Thursday.
THE LOSS WILL EXCEED $4,000
Manager Unable TO Account
for the Blaze.
CHANGE OF WIND SAVED THE DWELLING

j. Edward Addicks' farm near Car
managed by Robert L. Baldwin, was
visited by disastrous fire last Thurs
day, tho barn, hay and straw barrack, u
large shed and one of the stables being
totally destroyed, together with most
of their contents, causing a loss esti-
mated at between sl2, 600 and s15, 900.
1t could not BIO learned whether there
was any insurance on the buildings, as
Manager Baldwin did not know and
UP to noon had been unable to COM
municate with Mr.. Addicks, who had
gone to New York to sec the yacht race,
York, informing MIR. Addicks Of the fire,
but no reply mad been received and it
was thought doubtful whether he could
be reached until after the race, being
out on the water in his yacht black
Pearl.
At about 9.45 O'Clock, just as Mr..
Baldwin was returning from the rail
road station, he was informed by his
son, Edward Baldwin, that u small
blaze had been discover cd in one corner
of the hay and straw barrack. Tho
alarm was Mt once given and Mr.. Bald
neighbors were soon engaged in an
effort to eStineuish the fire, but in 10
minutes the barrack and stable were
a mass of flames, which had alsu com.
municated to tho barn. Ii was useless
to endeayor to save the buildings which
were on fire and the men turned their
attention toward carrying articles out
and protecting other buildings. For
mi pfn in N
stable or yards at the time. Two
wagons, seven barrels of cider, cider
press and several other farming nipple.
ments were saved, but much was
destroyed. In addition to implements,
about 100 tons of straw worth about slO
per ton, and GO tons Of hay worth SIS
per ton, were destroyed.
The barn was one of the largest in
the county. Ii was double decker,
46x64 feet, and three stories high 1t
was built of stone. The barrack was
24x106 feet and the shed l06x40 feet.
Mr.. Baldwin placed value of about
$4,000 90 tho buildings and the con
tents were worth fully 81, 900.
/ The wind was blowing from the
southwest when the fire started and
soon after the sparks began to fly the
granary, pumphouse and several other
buildings caught fire. but were saved.
The wind soon shifted further south,
however, which was exceedingly crafty
ing to Mr.. Baldwin, as he believes the
dwelling and several other buildings
would have been destroyed if it had not
changed.
While working at the fire Robert
Wilson, sswho is employed on the place,
had his hands and face slightly burned.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
There had been no fire around the
place either last night or this morning,
and, SO far as is known, nobody had
been smoking. 1t is possible that
tramps may have slept there during the
night and dropped spark before their
departure in the morning. Mr.. Baldwin
believes the barn will be rebuilt. The
farm is one of the largest and finest In
the county. -..-s,~'

THE DEWEY HOME.
Admiral Wishes Ir TO be Located in the
Northwestern Part OF Washington, Some
whore West OF sixteenth Street.

Admiral Wishes Ir TO be Located in the
Northwestern Part or Washington, some
where West of sixteenth Street.
Washington, Oct. 6. Admiral Dewey
has elected to accept house in Wash
ington, already constructed, instead Of
having one built for his occupation.
In accordance with the invitation of
the committee which has had in charp
the Dewey home fund, he called at the
Office of Acting Secretary Allen, in the
Navy Department, today, to indicate
his preferences in the matter of resi-
dence.
The Admiral was officially informed
of the purpose of the people of the
United States to present him with a
home in Washington. He frankly ey-
pressed his qualification at the tender,
which he Immediately accepted. He
said had the proposed home been the
gift of few wealthy men he should
feel indisposed to accept it, but he
noted that the fund had over $4,000
subscri bers, indicating that the home
was to be really the gift of the Ameri-
can people, and, as such, he would
accept it with as much pleasure as he
had the sword bestowed upon him by
Congress. The Admiral wished the
house to be located in the northwest
section, somewhere west of Sixteenth
street, and not too far north, thus
indicating the neighborhood of his
former residence and the clubs where
he had spent good deal OF his leisure
time First of all, he wanted the house
at the earliest possible moment, so
that he might "go in and hang up his
hat at once" as he put it. He asked
that the house be modest enough in
appointments and cost to permit Of
the retention of sufficient sum of
money from the purchase fund to de-
fray the expense Of furnishing it.
The committee listened attentiyely
to all Of these wishes. and saw no
reason why all could not be gratified.
The Admiral is going to New York
tonight or tomorrow, and will stop
over, If he can, to see the yacht race
on his way to Shelburne Farms, VT.
He expects to return to Washington in
the course of a week.
Meanwhile, the house committee.
having invited written proposals OF
properties, will go through the list
carefully, and hopes to be able to
present to the Admiral on his return
as many as halt dozen available
houses, from which he may make a
personal selection. The fund at the
disposal of the committee now amounts
to about $4,000, and it is earnestly
desired that this sum may be SUBJ
stantially increased during the time
remaining before the purchase.
