ANOTHER CHESTER COUNTY FIRE.


Barn Destroyed on the Farm of John Min
shall Near Toughkenamon.
I A valuable barn on the farm Of John
Miushall, about a mIle and quarter
north Of Toughkenamon, Chester
county, Pa, was destroyed by fire be-
tween 6 and clock Sunday evening.
Most of the contents were burned, in
Guiding calf. The barn was Of stone
and frame and one Of tha best IN that
section of the country. 1t was worth
probably S5,0 and the contents werB
valued at something like LOCO. The
origin of the fire is a mystery, but some
Uf the people in the neighborhood sus-
pect that 1t was the work of incen-
diaries. 1t is about two miles from
barn owned by Miss Florence M. YeRt-
man, which was also mysteriously
burned recently.
About 6 O'Clock Sunday evening Mr..
Minshall's son went to the barn to milk
the COWS and while thus engaged, at
about 80 O'Clock, he made the dis

for several minutes He hastened out
and gave tho alarm and got all Of the
stock out except one calf. Assistance
soon arrived, but the fire had gained so
much headway that it was impossible
to check the progress OF the flames In
the barn. Attention was directed to
other nearby buildings, with the result
That everything except the barn was
saved. LII is said that the loss is
partially covered by insurance.
People living in that part OF Chester
county are lncensed over what they
believe to be the fiendish activity of
incendiaries, and it is said that de.
tectivee are making an effort to unravel
the mystery. -Four barns have been
burned in that locality within a few
months, and as yet no definite cause
has been assigned for any of the fires.

Aged Woman Tells Of Marriage
Customs When She Was Young

1t not infrequently happens that there
is some member or intimate friend of
family whom death does not call away
until the person has reached a very ad-
vanced age. Whenever this is the case
the aged person often relates many anec-
dotes and stories of bygone generations,
which seem the more odd and singular,
since they are told by person who has
actually seen or experienced the things
related.
