about noon on Friday of last week, causing
Lose Of nh 81 T.. L a.
amount. Mr.. Shippers loss is $500 and he
had no insurance. 1t is thought the fire was
caused by sparks from the chimney igniting
the roof.
The barn on the property of Mr.. John G.
Arndt, about one mile north of Arlington on
the Reisterstown road, was burned on Friday
night of last week, together with two horses
one COW and all its other contents. When dis
covered the fire had made such Roadway that
it was impossible to save anything. The
loss is several thousand dollars and is only
partially covered by insurance A large New
foundand dog that was chained near the barn
was burned to death.
The barn on the farm of Mr.. Ferdinand
Eitemiller, one mile from Powhatan, was
burned on Sunday morning last, causing an
estimated loss of 81 800, which is partially
covered by insurance. -Four horses and is
pigs lost their lives. 1t is not known what
caused the fire.
An Engine Helps the Horses.--Hun-
dreds of people daily line the sidewalk opposite
the site of the Auditorium, on Howard street,
says the Baltimore Meas, to watch the work OF
preparing for the new building. One of the
things that interests them is the new method
of getting carloads of dirt out from the ex-
cavation for the foundations, by bringing a
special engine to the assistance of the horse.
When the foundations were being dug for
other recent Baltimore buildings two or three
Il IL 49,
made to drag it up to the street level. This
was the method used by the Belvedere Hotel
contractors, and when they got down to the
deepest level it was a big job for even three
horses to pull loaded cart up to Charles street.
At the Auditorium the thing is done easily.
As soon as cart is loaded it is driven to the
foot of the incline. Ropes are attached to the
shaft, the engine on the street level starts, and
before the surprised horse knows what has
happened he and the cart both have been
dragged up to Howard street. This is one of
the many labor-saving devices employed on
this work, and is partly responsible for the
extremely rapid progress being made.
