BUILDINGS BURNED.


destructive fire visited the National
Junior Republic. near Annapolis Junction.
saturday evening about O'clock The fire
started In the barn and rapidly spread to
building used as a jail by the republic.
ana In remarkably short time both struc-
lures were an entire loss Most of the
farm implements were stored In the barn
at the time. and but few things were saved
from the flames. Happily the live stock
was gotten out shortly after the alarm
was given. Practically the entire contents
OF the jail Were destroyed. including sew
eral cots in the sleeping quarters Owing
TO the high wind prevailing at the time,
put one trip could be made into the burn
ing buildings and but little was saved, and
only through the most determined efforts
OF the superintendent and his assistant and
the hard work of the boys was a bad con-
fiagration averted
The tpss on the burned buildings has not
yet been computed. The destruction of the
sleeping quarters necessitates the using OF
tory.
Earlier in the day a meeting of the execu-
tive committee had been held at the re-
public.
All the returns from the concert held
IN this city for the benefit of the republic
are not yet in, but about 500 has already
been received.
