Destructive Fire.-A big fire occurred
at Germantown, this county, about 3 o'clock
Monday afternoon which completely wiped
out all but one of the farm buildings on the
farm of Mr.. Jacob Snyder, there only being
left corn house. Mr.. Snyder had some
men employed saving wood in the COW
stable, which has installed in 1t large en-
CINE for running the machinery for crush
ing grain and chop2Ing hay for feeding his
mich cows. It Is supposed that spark
blew from the smokestack Of the engine
through one of the crevices 10 the boards of
the building and set fire to the hay in the
loft. Samuel Reed, of Boyd's, who was
driving along the road, saw a large blaze
coming from the top of the barn and yelled
sire" The men inside heard his alarm and
ran out just as the roof. fell in. The i'm
fire and the blaze quickly communicated to
others and to the large barns used for the
horses and also the hay barn, which was
near the COW stable, destroying the build
ings, three in all, and the straw ricks on the
outside, which had just been thrashed OF Its
grain. All the contents of the buildings,
including many tons of hay, but no grain,
and large engine and crusher and all other
machinery were entirely destroyed, entail
ing loss of about $1,000, the buildings be-
ing only partly covered by insurance For
tunate for Mr. Snyder, he had no stock in
the barn Had the fire occurred an hour
or 80 later he would have had any number
of fine mich cows in the stables.

MANY TESTIFY
IN BONNIE CASE

Washington, Nov 26.-In the trial OF
Mrs. BONNIE yesterday, Baker, the man
who saw Mrs. Bonine descend the fire
escape; Hopkins, who roomed over
Ayres and raised the first cutlery; Miss
WOOlums, who roomed under Ayres
and Miss Lawless and Miss Minas, vino
roOmed on either side Of him, testified
the two latter being regarded as star
witnesses. They testified, however
to no facts not developed at the in
quest. They testified that there was
room enough behind the soOr in Ayres
room for a man to have been there
while the door was opened to admit
another person, q contention which
the prosecution denies, and also that
there were empty cartridges in the
slop jar in Ayres' room before the pis
tOl with which the shooting was done
was emptied by officer Brady. This
would tend to establish the theory that
the pistol belonged to Ayres. Miss
Minas testified that Ayres and Mr.
B0nine ate icecream and cake in her
room the night before the tragedy and
that at that time there was no evi-
dence of i'll feeling between them.

Madison, Nov. %.
Gov. La Toilette Monday granted the
application for pardon of Dick Bedell
and Frank BedeIl, confined in the
states prison at Waupun for horse
stealing, it appearing to him that the
applicants are innocent of the criminal
charge upon which they were convict
ed. He says:
Dick Bedell and Frank Beden were
tried and convicted of stealing a team
of horses on the Goth day of June,
1899. The conviction appears from
the testimony in the case to rest main
ly upon the evidence given by william
Good, who claimed to have met the
Bedell bothers by previous arrange

whence the horses had just been
stolen, receiving them from the Be
dells, and driving them into another
county, where he sold them; that on

ALBAN GETS BACK
AND BIG OVATION is GIVEN
LEADER AT COLON
ANOTHER FIGHT EMMlNET
Clash May Occur With Liberals at
Empire-SeVere Battling Along
Railroad Track-Capt. Perry of
Battleship Iowa Takes a Hand in
Proceedings.

Colon, Nov. 26.-Yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock the schooner Clapet and
a railroad barge returned to Panama
bringing $50 men from Chorrera,
being the remainder of General AL
bans expedition. Great crowds gath
cred at the wharf to witness the land
ing of the soldiers. They were re-
ceived with bands of music. At $3.50
yesterday afternoon at the heads of
several hundred men, Gen. Alban left
Panama by train for Empire station
where the liberals are reported to be
in fairly strong numbers. His Dur-
pose is to surprise and rOut them.
The train bearing the troops was held
up just before it arrived at Colobra
station, owing to the liberals opening
fire on Adams advance guard. AL
ban disembarked his men from the
train which returned to Panama. The
fighting at Culebra lasted from 4:40
until 9 p. N.
The government troops advanced
and fought stubbornly all along the
railroad line until the station was
reached. The liberals retreated slow
ly, Adams men following them until
the latter reached Matachin station.
Here Alban met and conferred with
Captain Perry of the Iowa, who was
returning from Colon on an armored
train.
It IS understood Perry will not al
low the railroad to transport troops,
consequently Alban was forced to
push ahead on foot. Between Guile
bra and Empire over $50 killed and
wounded men could be seen along the
track. No proper Red Cross organi-
cation exists and the wounded lack
care. The liberals at Colon declare a
majority of the men killed on the line
were conservative troops.

very heavy losses on both sides.
