General Methuen has resumed command
OF his troops at Modder River. News that
the engineers are building their bridge
rapidly is taken TO mean that the railway
bridge is being repaired for the passage
OF naval guns. The Beers are said TO be
at Spytfonteln with 11.0O0 men we'll in
trenched and supported by powerful ar
tillery, with all the ranges measured. 1t
is stated that the Beers are hurrying
ready reached Spytfontein. While this
the great danger of General Methuen's s
advance so long as the attention of the
Beers is not fully occupied in Natal.
The gravest risk. unquestionably, Is TO
the long and exposed line of communica-
tions which link the Modder River and
Kimberley with De Aar II is clear that
General Gatacre is having a good deal
of difficulty in the north of Cape Colony
His main body was at Putters Kraal sew
eral days ago. and IT was hoped that he
would soon join hands with General
French from Naauwpoort and sweep the
invaders before him. but the whole Of
this region is ablaZe with disaffection and
revolt rising is imminent in Griqua-
land East. The Beers have entered Dord-
recht and are advancing to meet Gatacre
who is still at Peters Kraal waiting re-
Inducements, with the object OF getting
possession OF the railway between
Queenstown and Moltena and thus pre-
venting his junction with French.
This activity of the Beers Is quite IN
expected by the British. General

Gatacre's force does not exceed 500 men.
The re9ort that the Boers made n final
attempt on Monday 20 carry Ladysmith
by storm finds few believers. as does the
accompanying statement that the Beers
have abandoned the siege.
Summing up the situation briefly. II ap-
pears that all three OF the beleaguered
towns are still safe: that Colonel BADEN
Powell. Colonel Kekewich and General
White all agree In the confident asser-
tion that they arc proof against all and
every assault. and that decisive battles
in both Natal and on the western from
tier Of the Free State are near at hand.
I had talk yesterday with man IN n
position to know. who told me that Sig
nor MarcorFs wireless teiegraphic sys-
tenn was now working n eight stations
in the field under military supervision.
but that the contents OF messages and To-
cation of stations were kept secret.

Farm nu,ld,nr. Rnrned.

The farm buildings Of Geo. r. Folsom,
situated about 2 l2 miles south OF Chelsea
village on the road 10 Tunhridge, were to-
tally destroyed by fire Wednesday even
ing, Oct 18th.
The cause OF the fire is supposed to have
been sparks coming from the chin
ney and falling on the roof OF the ell part
% no other way can be conceived for Its
catching where il did and when Il did.
Mr. and Mrs. Folsom were just sitting
down TO supper about s 30 o'clock, when
The first intimation they had Of anything
wrong was a cracking noise in the shed
and on opening the door were met with a
nefce array of flames which were already
cropping down from overhead.
Everything was very dry aud in scarce
" less time than il eau be written the
whole set Of buildings, which were con-
nected. was a mass of roaring flames. The
buildings consisted of a story and nalf
house with an ell standing north and
south, woodshed, lsxi6, running east and
west, barn, 30x40, and shed, 20xS5, ator-
age shed, 20x20, with corn barn short
distance from the house, i2xls. When
Mr.. Folsom saw that all must go, be

rushed to the barn and all the live stock
was saved except one fat hog, one pig, sew
en- turkeys and about so hens.
Among the loss was 240 baskets corn,
30 bn. oats, 20 bu. India wheat, go bu. DO.
tatoes, 10 bu. vegetables, 300 lbs maple
sugar, 90 lbs. pork, 40 lbs. lard, II solid
cords wood, 80 tons hay, 8 tons corn fod-
der, tons straw, horse power and circu-
lar saw rig, hay tedder, pillow, new culti-
vator, patent harrow, potato digger and
shovel hoe, power grindstone new

z horse wagon, sleds, bed renevators,
1000 IT. hard wood lumber, ell the cloth
ing, much OF the furniture, all in the low
er rooms, nearly every piece OF crockery
and tinware In the house. People from
near and far got there as soon as possible
and worked bard and fast 10 save what
they could but the flames did such a
rushing business II was little enough that
could be got out whole. Mr.. Folsom saved
most OF the clothes he had on and Mrs.
Folsom came out about the same when
she took account OF stock the next day.
The loss is estimated at from 1900 to
y 800. They were insured in the VT. Mu.
tnal Fire Insurance Co. for sl.100 as fol-
lows: House, 300; contents, goo; barn,
s2ni contents, 800; live stock, s25; farm
implements, s75. They own house just
across the road from the one burned, oc.
eupied by George NJ. Young, and they
have moved in, or will as soon as Mr..
Young can get out. Although il was a
still night, the house opposite caught fire
at two different times and w. III. Luceis
buildings, quite a distance north, caught
once. The cinders were carried bali
mile and dropped In the yard Of George
Densmore.
Il Was one Of the best located farm resi-.
dences on the road and Mrs. Folsom is one
of those thrifty hOusekeepers who work
all the time and have a winters supply Of
household necessities all ready before
snow comes. Il was two pretty discouraged
people who looked out across the smok 1
ing ruins the next day and realized that /
their comfortable home OF yesterday was

Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1899-11-02

Last Saturday morning the community
was thrown into state OF unusual excite.
ment BY news OF the circumstances at
tending the burning of the barn on the
old Tewksbury farm on the Braintree
road now owned by Silas Chadwick and
bis son-in- law, Lucius Goodhart.
The latter went to the barn as usual
about five O'Clock TO feed his stock by
lantern light. While bending over a
grain box he was attacked from behind
by a couple of tramps who may have slept
in the barn or have followed him in.
They tore his frock in an effort to rob him
snd secured his watch and a memoran-
dunn book which they evidently mistook
for a pocketbook. In the scramble the
lantern was overturned aud in a twink
ling the flames we're beyond control. The
tramps made good their escape while Mr..
Goodhart crossed the road to the house to
alarm the household. He at once return
ed and liberated the cattle, the last OF
which he experienced no little difficulty
in driving from the stable, which was
tilled with binding smoke.
Emerging, he found the portion of the
barn where the horses were kept a mass
OF flames and supposed that the animals
had persisted. but fortunately his wife
had run out, barefoot and in her night
clothing, and freed them. As the farm is
about mile from the village, and the
fire occurred at an hour when the chance
for assistance was small indeed, there
was little help in saving the contents of
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1899-11-02

the building, which were nearly all de-
stroyed. Luckily enough, another barn
only about twenty feet away did not
catch fire, owing to the direction OF the
wind, but the paint on the house across
the road was noticeaDiy blistered by the
heat.
About 500 bushels OF corn, nearly Is
tons Of hay, and almost all the farming
tools we're destroyed. The barn was in
snred for 1900 and the produce for about
$500 in the Vermont Mutual. The renew
a. policy for the insurance was delivered
TO Mr.. Goodhart only day OF two before
the fire.
Some time had elapsed since the ex-
piration OF the former insurance policy,
but Mr.. Goodhsrt was forcibly reminded
OF the neglected insurance over a week
before the fire by finding two tramps
sitting in sleigh in the barn one evening
smoking. He ordered them out and they
threatened to make him sorry. Whether
they we're ident cal with the recent offend
ers, their victim is unable to say. He
does not recall the appearance OF the men
except that one was short and wore a cap
and the other was tall, had a mustache
and wore a hat.
Officers j. E. Lamson, Luke Parish and
Ed. Kent were at once notified and mes
sages were sent to the surrounding towns
to detain all suspicious characters. A bout
in the vicinity OF the farm for the burglar
tramps, and quite a number OF teams
We're sent out, while few volunteers con-
tinued the search independently, but no
trace OF the criminals was discovered and
at night the search was practically ADAM
doned.
At the meeting OF the grange that even
ing, OF which order Mr.. Goodhart is a
member, a paper was circulated and /
literally signed by the patrons, who con-
tributed sums OF money or promises of /
labor 10 the building OF new barn, work /
upon which has already begun.
An auction sale OF cattle, nscessitated by /
the lack Of place to house them and a /
OF feed, will be conducted at the
farm next Saturday.
The loss sustained is not covered by the /
Insurance. Much sympathy is felt for
the losers while Indignation Is strong
against The culprits whose cowardly at
.aek resulted so disastrously.
