Large Barn Burned.

The large barn on the Octoraro
farm of Mrs. =. L. Brinton of Ok
ford, in Little Britain township,
Lancaster county, was destroyed by
fire last Sunday afternoon, together
with the entire contents, entailing
a loss of $4,000. The building was
discovered to be on fire about $50
O'Clock and was soon reduced to
ashes. The structure was of frame,
about so by so feet with two driv-
ing floors. The contents consisted
of about 60 tons of hay, $50 bushels
of wheat, 400 bushels of oats-a
portion of the grain being threshed
and in sacks-and 100 bushels of
potatoes on the barn floor; a thresh-
er and horse power belonging to
James Long, a neighbor, who was
engaged in the work of threshing
on the previous dayj a two-horse
wagon, farm machinery, implements
and harness; mule and four calves
in the stables perishing in the
flames.
There was an insurance of $21OO
on the building in the Southern
Mutual Insurance Company of Ian
caster county, the contents being
uninsured. The loss falls heavily
upon the farmer, Pencil Martin
dell, including all the contents ex-
cepting one-half the hay, grain,
straw and potatoes. The origin of
the fire is at present unknown, but
it was doubtless incendiary. Prep
arations for the building of tempo
rary stables and the erection of a
new lbarn have already been
started.

Uncanny Cannery.

On Wednesday of last week the
county board of health held its
monthly meeting in Elkton. The
Secretary reported he had visited
nearly all the canneries in the
county and finds better fruit than
usual is being canned, but with few
exceptions the surroundings are not
conducive to the health of en-
ployees nor suitable for the prep
aration of food for human consump-
ton. The disposal of refuse matter
without expense, is still an unsolv-
ed problem. The foreign element
has been vaccinated but are housed
in badly ventilated quarters.
If there be any virtue in plenty
of fresh air in their domiciles the
Poles and Bohemians who work the
canneries have the benefit of it.
Two visits as health officers were
made to Cecilton, malignant diph-
liberia in colored girl. After re-
covery, the house was whitewashed
and disinfected as far as possible.
The mating and bedding were
burnt and replaced at public ex-
pense according to law for INDECENT
persons.
Twenty two births and eleven
deaths were reported for August.

PETIT JURY.
GRAND JURY.

In his charge to the grand jury
Judge Stump made special mention
of the homicide at Perryville in
which Ali Terraz was shot by Con-
stable VIM. P. Windish, of Will
mington, and for which Windish
is held for court.
The grand jury brought in the
following indictments: William P.

East, assault with intent to kill
Geo. II. Rogers, of Oxford Pa; Eli
Young, larceny; Margaret L. and
Hannah j. Morrison, assault with
intent to kill their sisters, Mary
jeanette and Elizabeth A. Morrison.
The docket contained 81 cases on
the civil calendar and IS appeals.
Very little business was tran
sacted Monday and Tuesday, the
Court waiting for the report of the
grand jury. The term will be a
short one, as very few cases are
marked on the docket for trial.
James Banks, COL, who was SEN
fenced by Magistrate Grant to one
year in the House of Correction for
carrying concealed weapons at the
colored campmeeting at st. Angus
tine two weeks ago, took an appeal,
but in Court he pleaded guilty and
the sentence was affirmed.
The Court was engaged all day
Wednesday in the trial of Constable
Windish for the murder of Ali Ter
raz, Sept. 4th. The defense claimed
that the shooting was unintentional
the constable being at the time on
hunt for persons who had been
throwing stones at passenger trains.
The jury, after celebrating about
half an hour, brought in verdict of
not guilty. WIS Evans and Frank
X. Finnan for State; l.. M. Haines
and A. L. Crothers for Windish.
Monday next has been set for
testimony and argument in the case
of the confirmation of the sale of
the Singerly Pulp and Paper Mills
and other property by the trustees,
under decree, for S105,0OO, and
which is now being objected to by
the bondholders and others, alleg-
ing that the price is inadequate
and that the property will bring
considerable more money.

served to the invited guests and
friends. Delegations were present
from Councils at Principle Furnace,
Principio, Rising Sun, Calvert and
Conowingo, and Council of Daugh-
tiers of Liberty of Port Deposit and
Calvert.
The speeches were not reported,
but we doubt not the orators did
not forget to impress upon the
school children what the American
flag was intended to symbolic and
represent in the ascent of man,
and to explain its mission in the
Philippine Islands in connection
with this divine purpose; and made
the fact clear that President
Mckinley had ordered the flag
there as the emblem of "benevolent
assimilation and that the speak
ers were careful to point out the
difference between "benevolent
assimilation" and "criminal aggres-
sion" and impressed the fact on the
young minds who surrounded the
teacher whose duty it shall be to
see that the flag is never hauled
down where once it has been raised
without shooting the vandal on the
spot.
