Fire destroyed the Shenandoah House
stables at Woodstock, Virginia, with two
horses, many carriages and much proven
der, early Sunday morning. The build
ing was adjacent to the hotel, and several
business houses, which were damaged.
The county Jail was on fire many times,
but was saved The prisoners were re
moved. Loss, above insurance, about
81, 600.
On Friday night of last week the roller
mill of S. Morgan Smith, at East Berlin,
Adams county, Pa, was burned. The
large wooden bridge across the Big Cone
WACO creek. was set on fire several times
by sparks and brands and it was only by
the greatest effort it was saved. Several
dwellings also caught but the Volunteer
Fire Department saved them. Loss on
the mill $1,000. Mr. Sprenkle, the
miller. lost 81 900.
Mrs. Emma d. L. n Southworth, the
authoress. died at her residence in Wash
ington, D. c., on the night of June 30,
in her S0th year About month ago
she was Frustrated by heat. Owing to
her advanced age she was unable to re
cuperate from the attack. An array of
60 novels is a convincing demonstration of
Mrs. Southworth's great resources, her
hold on public favor and her capacity for
unceasing hard work For a period Gov
ering perhaps 20 years she was as widely
known and as highly esteemed as any other
American writer Of fiction, and this popu
laritv continued until advanced age and
loss of physical yigor made the writing eft
new novels impossible Her books were
most widely read about 1870. Many were
translated into German. French and Span
ish. and also had a wide circulation IN
England Mrs. Southworth was the
daughter of Capt Charles L. Nevitte, of
