DWELLING BURNED

The dwelling of Mr.. Joseph A. Evans
who resides on the farm of Mrs. Mar
Clayton Price, one-half mile from Arm
strong's Corner, was totally destroyed BY
fire on Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Evans discovered the fire about
2.30 o'clock, when she saw smoke com
ing through the roof of the house, and
when she ascended to the upper floor
the house was roaring mass of flames.
Mr.. Evans and his men were at work
in the field when the fire was discovered
and before they could reach the house
the flames had ignited tue lower rooms,
and they only succeeded in saving very
few articles. The surrounding neighbors
who quickly assembled to offer their as
sistance turned their attention to the out
buildings, and after tearing small tool
house away succeeded in saving the other
buildings, although one of them was on
fire. The origin of the fire is unknown,
but the supposition is that it was caused
by defective due.
Mrs. Clayton Price had $500 insurance
on the building, which is only one-half
of the amount of her loss, while Mr..
Evans carried the same amount on his
household goods.
Mrs. Price will have a new dwelling
erected at once, while Mr.. Evans and
his family will occupy dwelling in Arm
strong's Corner while the dwelling is
being erected.

COAL FAMINE IMMINENT

No question of more Importance and
which causes the masses Of the Ameri.
can people more concern has claimed
their serious attention for the past few
week than that of the strike in the an
thracite coal regions. The great majority
of our citizens are affected in some meas
ure by the serious proportions these diff
ferences have reached. The early coming
of the winter months will necessitate the
provision of such fuel for their comfort,
aside from the enormous price that is at
present necessary to pay, an eve2 more
serious condition confronts them, that Of
not being able to obtain coal at any price
owing to the small supply occasioned by
the long strike, which will mean untold
hardship for many.
Senator Hanna in a recent interview is
credited with saying "that there was no
chance of arbitration so long as only one
side, the miners, were willing to arbi-
trate and gave it as his opinion that the
miners will not give in so long as they
are able to fight.
"It will net be short fight" he said.
'It will be prolonged, and such prolon-
cation will mean not only hardships for
the miners and the women and children
dependent on them, but it will have its
effect on the American people. The lon
ger this struggle continues the greater
will be the increase in the price of coal.

RELIC OF THE REVOLUTION.
by Tory Leaders I'm the
Revolution.

Tunnel workmen engaged in exca-
waiting at a farmhouse which stands
on Scriveris Point. close TO Long Island
sound, lately discovered a secret pas
sage leading from the garret Of the
house to the sound. The passageway,
il is believed. was used in the reyolu-
tionary war by the tory leaders of
Westchester to escape from the Amer
lean troops, which. under Washington,
were encamped for weeks in the neigh
borhood at the time that Gen. Howe, of
the British army, was encamped just
opposite on Long island. The legend
Of the passage has been known TO the
older residents of Nestchester, al
though few of them have ever seen it.
1t was known as the 'tory hole" The
builder OF the old house was Isaac
wilkins. an Englishman. who settled
in Westchester shortly before the revo-
luton. Notwithstanding that he mar
ried n sister Of Lewis Morris. one Of
the signers of the declaration Of indie
pendence. he was a hot tory. The
house stands near small creek lead
ing 10 the sound. II Is q two-story
frame structure with shingled sides.

places and was considered one of the
finest houses in Westchester county
when il was built, 137 years ago. The
upper stories are provided with port
holes. through which the inmates
guarded their grounds. The passage
leading TO the tunnel is in the garrett
1t is about four feet wide and is Gov
cred with a trap door. Stone steps
projecting from the outside of the
chimney form a stairway all the way
down to the ground, where a tunnel
passes under the basement and runs
out under the yard to the Snall tide
water creek. The mouth Of the cave
and the tunnel years ago tumbled in
and are now almost obliterated. but
the passageway from attic 10 cellar is
intact
