Farm Buildings Burned.

Shortly after seven o'clock Wednesday,
fire was discovered on the farm of Ed
ward E. Logan, on the South Pemberton
road. The fire broke out in a barn in
which considerable machinery was stored
and this was all burned. Mr.. Logan and
the men were all at work on different
parts of the farm, but they soon reached
the scene and did all in their power to save
the property.
The live stock was soon driven to place
of safety. A bucket brigade was formed
but it could not do much good, as the
flames were too fierce The buildings
burned were a barn 20 feet long, two
smaller barns, corn crib, wagon house and
sheds. These buildings stood between the
house and large new barn. The wind
was blowing toward the house. 1t is of
brick with slate roof. AS soon as the
fire broke out Mrs. Logan had every shut
ter closed. Two large trees served as a
protection and the house escaped

Good Intent engine and hose carriage
went to the farm. A second message took
the Relief hose carriage out This put
1900 feet of hose in service. The engine
was put at small stream and forced water
to the buildings. The new barn was
given good wetting and was put out of
harm. then the water was turned on the
flames from the other buildings, and did
good service. The mass of grain, how
ever, continued to burn for several DAYS.
About 1900 bushels of wheat and rye.
40 to 80 tons of hay, and all the wagons
and implements save two reapers and two
mowers were burned. The loss is Gov
cred by insurance. The fire is thought to
have been caused by workman putting
a lighted pipe in his pocket, leaving his
coat hanging in the barn.
Mr.. Logan desires to extend his sincere
thanks to his neighbors and friends for
the kind services rendered by them at the
recent fire. He also wishes to thank the
iremen of Mount Holly, particularly the
Good Intent and Relief Engine companies,
for the aid they so generously gave at the
fire

An Unkind1y Act.

Editor of NEws:-It is not without

the action of the Board of Chosen Free
holders of Burlington County at its las
meeting In regard to some of my bills fol

tainly would have been much more kindly
to me to have carried the bills over TO

When the solicitor of the Board stated
that the physician who viewed those

the county, he implied that l was guilty
of intentional wrong in viewing them my

all, " and it surprises me that it comes from
so noble person as the solicitor.
Before l presented the bills in question

coroners' bills, and for the Board to act on
l consulted the prosecutor of the county
in relation to them and as to whether

me that he thought l was Had it been

casion for this damaging movement.
JOSHUA D. JANNEY
THE above is from one of the coroners
of this county, who certainly has some
reason for complaint DR.. Janney has
lived in this county long time and his
reputation has always been that Of an
honest man. The report of the solicitor
was portion of the proceedings of the
board and as such was published. Other
bills on which there was any doubt were
either referred to the person interested for
explanation or to the resident freeholder
for investigation. In this case more
summary method was pursued. We
doubt if any one in the county entertains
the slightest idea that Coroner Janney had
any intention whatever to do wrong act.

A Church Misrepresented.

Rev. M. v. Waters, the pastor of St.
Paul's A. M. E. church, this town, is an
energetic and broad minded man, who de.
lights in conversing with his officials and
members, and reason with them concerning
church affairs. Some of them, however,
seem bent upon mischief with what APP
pears to be sole object to destroy both
the good of the church and the pastor.
The records show that those who have
been making trouble recently, are the
same who have been a hindrance to the
church in the past, and have been making
trouble for years.
1t is understood there will be decided
change in the near future.
1t is the pastors object to pay off all
local debts this fall and repair the church.

Americans Abroad.

The mere fact of an American citizen
taking a trip abroad or residing there
for short period does not deprive a
native born citizen of this country of
his citizenship, nor does he lose the
right to the protection Of this govern
ment by so doing. If he abandons his
residence here, he loses his right to
vote just as if he moved to another
state. but acquires it again by return
ing to this country. Nearly all the ma
tions on the globe claim the right Of
authority over native born citizens of
their own countries even after those
citizens have acquired citizenship else
where-that is, if native Russian
comes here and is naturalized, then re
turns to Russia for visit the Russian
government might compel him to do
army service despite his American citi-
zcnship. This principle was embodied
in the famous expression ''once an Eng
lishman, always an Englishman," so
much quoted during the war of '1S12.--

The Du Points OF Povvder Fame.


The Du Points own powder mills In
all parts of the country from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Among the Du
Points themselves there is a process of
selection for those who are to have to
do with the powder works. The
youngsters are watched, and when
one shows nervousness in the face OF
danger he is placed somewhere else
than in the powder mills. The rule is
that Du Pout in person shall always
lead whenever there is imminent dan
ger a number OF Du Points first and
last-and some of them important ones
have been killed under this rule, and
there repeatedly have been heroic es-
capes from death through this disre-
gard of the fear of it.

a very strict one. The family always
