FIRE AT lone.
Piccardo's Barn Destroyed and Horses
Burned to Death-0rigin of Fire Un-
known.

A destructive fire broke out at lone
at o'clock Wednesday morning, re-
sulting in the destruction of the large
barn occupied by A. Piccardo's freight
teams, and all its contents. The barn
was situated near the end of the rail-
road track. The building was rented
| by A. PiccardO, and used for stabling
his animals overnight. The night
before the fire there were 26 animals
kept there. But the evening in ques-
tion the small freight wagon was at
lone, employing only four animals
three horses and mule. The wagon
was loaded up with freight, and left
outside the barn, ready for starting on
the up trip early the next morning.
The teamster, whose name is Hizer,
did not sleep on the premises, but at
the Commercial hotel, fully half mile
away. At three O'Clock the fire was
discovered by neighbors. 1t had ac-
quired such a Roadway that nothing
could be done in the way of saving
property inside. The four animals
were burned to death in their stalls,
their cindered remains lying in a
CHASTITY row when the flames had spent
their fury. A large quantity of hay,
amounting to several, tons, and also all
the harness, was destroyed. The load
ed wagon outside was badly scorched,
but the efforts of those who rushed to
the scene were successful in saving it,
and also its contents. Piccardo's loss
will foot up fully 5000, without any in
Esurance. The animals were insured,
but only as occupants of the home barn,
SO it is probable that nothing can be
recovered by reason of their loss in the
lone barn.
Treading so closely on the heels of
the late robbery of Piccardo's saloon,
many are disposed, to. think that the
fire was the work of an incendiary,
and has some connection with that
crime. There is nothing but surmise,
however, to bear out this theory, and
it is probably entertained for want of
more plausible explanation.
A. Piccardo was notified of the loss
early Wednesday morning by tele
phone and started at once for lone to
look into the matter.
Mr.. Piccardo returned Wednesday
evening. He thinks the fire may have
started from spontaneous combustion
of the hay. Those who noticed the
fire first say it started in that part of
the barn where the hay was stored.
There was water trough outside, and
the leakage from this probably soaked
through into the hay, and the damp
ness would in the course of time gener-
ate heat. A tramp might have got
into where the horses were kept; but
the hay compartment was locked. The
barn was owned by the Kirk brothers,
and was uninsured. The damage to
the freight in the wagon is estimated
at not to exceed $40. The damaged
freight arrived in Jackson Wednesday
night.

Sudden Death.

Through Wilford Dennis of the Wes-

informed that Jonathan Tarr, while
walking on the street in Sutter Creek
last evening, fell and expired almost
instantly. He was 65 years of age, and
a well known resident of the county.
He was for number of years associat-
ed with his brothers in the sawmill
business in this county under the firm
name of Tarr Bros, but retired from
business several years ago. He leaves
number of relatives, and his many
friends in this and Ell Dorado county
will also deeply deplore his death.

The Piccardo Robbery.

Nothing new has transpired in rela-

two weeks ago. Notwithstanding the
prevailing belief that the perpetrator
of that crime was severely wounded,
not trace of the desperate has been
discovered, beyond the finding of the
bloody garments at the Bellwether
mine, as narrated in these columns last
week.

parted for her new home in Amador

]. B. Meek, in prospecting on one of
the lots owned by P. Burlington on the
north end of the Webb Mason tract,
took out some dirt that yielded as high
as fifty cents to the pan. He thought
at first he had struck piece of ground
that had been left untouched by the
early miners, but in this he was mis-
taken, as close to the bedrock he came
across piece of prospector's horn
and other indications that the ground
had been worked for gold. He is of
the opinion, however, that an un-
worked gravel seam exists on one of
the vacant lots near by, and has Sc
cured permission from the owner to
prospect thereon.
L. N. Martell, one of the old resi-
denters OF Amador county, now living
in Sutter Creek, was in Jackson Mon

at the clerks Office while in town to

register. 1t would be well if all visitors
to the county seat would get in the

tion by doing likewise. Registration
is proceeding very slowly. OF course,
the people will get move on as the
campaign begins to warm up. But de.
lay in such matters is dangerous. A
serious percentage of voters lost their
votes at the last election because ot
failure to get registered in time. Re.

fic east and west bound. Shipments of dry
goods. heavy groceries and house furnish
ings are large beyond precedent so late in
the season. The bulk of freights now
handled comes under the head of local bust

TRADE UNUSUALLYACTIVE
LARGE NUMBERS OF BUYERS VISIT
ED THE CITY LAST WEEK.
Another Advance i'm PotatOes--PrOduce
Markets Are Weak-Steady Tone
i'm the Leading Grains.

In the week ended on April 26 trade as
whole was active, especially the whole
sale streets. The low railroad rates for
four days of the week enabled country
merchants to come in in large numbers and
orders sent in by travelling statesmen were
also liberal There is one remarkable fea-
ture about present conditions-an unusually
large number of merchants buy large bills
and discount them on delivery of the goods
The dry goods market is quite active. the
tendency to higher prices stimulating trade.
The strong tone TO the flour market con-
tinues. In all cerealine products prices rule
very strong in tone In groceries there was
an active movement, with no change In
prices. Coffees and sugars ruled steady
through the entire week. On Commission
row trade was good, conditions considered.
The fact is that fruits and vegetables IN old
lines are too high and consumers make
their purchases with caution. Irish pota-
toes are up another notch. some selling, il
is stated, at $1.25 per bushel Apples are IN
the luxury list and sell slowly. Oranges
continues reasonable and move freely. The
crop of last year is now about exhausted.
The produce market is weak. despite the
fact that there are no changes in quota
lions. Receipts are very large and present
prices are liable to break any day. Dried
fruits and canned goods are not moving as
freely as last month. Prices continue un-
changed. but, as in the case of produce,
lower prices are inevitable. In the East the
egg and butter markets are very weak and
declining. eggs in New York selling at 15c
at wholesale yesterday. Strawberries are
not so plentiful and a tendency to firmer
prices ia noticeable, but it did not material
lie yesterday. Hog products are strong in
tone, fresh meats being so high that it in
creases the demand for all descriptions of
provisions materially, but it is thought that
the highest figures have been reached for
this line of meats. Collections are reported
easy, despite the fact that it is taxpaying
time.

CITIZEN FULL OF YEARS
JOSEPH f. DAUGHERTY CELEBRATES
HIS NINETIETH BIRTHDAY.
He Is n Member of the Famous Tip
pecanOe CIub-Has Lived Here
Since 1896.

Joseph f. Daugherty. one of the pioneers of
Indianapolis, yesterday celebrated his nine
tieth birthday anniversary at his home, 1S3
West Nineteenth street. Around this vener-
able celebrant is woven an interesting bit of
local history. Although he passed the al
lotted INSTRUMENTATION mark a score of
years ago, he is yet hale and hearty and
good for many a mile with younger pedes-
TRANS
Mr.. Daugherty was one of the famous
Tippecanoe Club that was organized in this
city in 1876 to advance the candidacy of the
late General Harrison for the governOrship
of Indiana. The club was composed Of men
who had voted for William Henry Harrison
back in the sos. The charter roster of the
club contained 200 names. OF this famous
club there is now less than a score of sur
vivorS During the famous campaign in
which they participated these old veterans
of the ''Tippecanoe and Tyler. too day re-
vived Harrison stories and traditions and
did all in their power 10 land their old
chiefs famous descendant I'm the Governor
chair.
Mr. Daugherty was once chosen president
of the club. and during his term he sue
ceeded in bringing about a revival of log
cabin spirit. He has always been a stanch
Republican, as he became identified with
the party at its birth. He came TO Indian
apolis on oct. 5. 1896, and has resided here
continuously since. He came here from
Dayton. O.. by stage. the journey occupy
stopping at a trading station en- route to
indianapolis, he picked up a copy of the
Indianapolis Journal and read it. lie has
been reading the paper continuously since
that day, and now has bound files of the
paper dating back into the Dos.
Four years ago yesterday a reunion of
the old TippecanOe Club was held at the
home of Mr.. Daugherty. OF the sixteen
members present at that meeting nine haN Z
passed TO the great beyond. Mr.. Daugherty
is probably the most vigorous of all the
survivors. Among the surviving members
of the club that were invited 10 Mr.. Daugh-
erty's anniversary reception yesterday were
II. \. Goodwin. Thomas Chill. Daniel
Sherer. Jacob WhiteseH, Jeremiah Fergu-
son, John l.. Avery, MascOm De Shiel and
Benjamin Groves. The above-named sur
vivors live i'm this city. but several of them
were too feeble to attend the meeting yes
terday.
\ family dinner was rendered the venera-
bic gentleman yesterday by his family and
a large number of relatives were present
to enjoy the day with him. He and his old
comrades INDUCED in "reminiscences that
caused the younger hearts TO beat fast IL
was happy occasion. and the pioneer was
given hearty congratulations and wishes
for many happy returns of his anniversary.
