ANOTHER SUSPICIOUS FIRE.

The barn of Mr.. George A. Cairnes,
near Jarrettsville, was consumed by fire
shortly before midnight on Friday. The
family had been away to choir rehearsal
and returned home about 10 o'clock
Nothing unusual was noticed about the
premises. Miss Minnie Cairnes, who was
the last to arrive, discovered the fire as
she was returning from the springhouse,
where she had been attending some house
hold duties before retiring. The flames
seemed to come from three places in the
building at once, which would indicate
inccndiarv origin. The alarm was
promptly given, but it was impossible to
save only portion of the wagons and
some harness. A calf was burned up,
together with about tons of husks, Il
lot of hay and straw, thrcshing machine,
fodder cutter and other farming imple-
ments. The insurance on the building
was $500. The loss on the contents is
fully covered bv insurance. The barn was
comparatively new, the main building be-
ing Sc by so feet, witt shedding and 16-
foot driveway. 1t stood on the spot of a
similar structure which was struck by
lightning and burned about ten years
ago. The cause of the fire is being inves-
tigated by the Hartford Mutual Fire In
surance Company, which held the policies
Of insurance. There is no clue, so far, to
the perpetrators, and the loss may have
occurred without the design of some evil
person.

BASE BALL.

On Saturday, the Bel Air Base Ball
Club, and the Aberdeen boys crossed bat $
ut the home grounds. 1t was one of the
most exciting games of the season, Bel
Air being the victor by score of 5 to 2.
Baker the Aberdeen pitcher, is the best
that has been seen on the local diamond
this year, but Bel Air touched him up for
seven hits. Bowling had an off day and
allowed the visitors ten hits, giving five
bases on balls and striking out three
men. Several times Aberdeen had all the
bases full with nobody out. but each
time Bowling settled down and retired
the next three men without allowing
them to score. Bel Airs fielding was tn,
sensational part of the game. Tarrins
caught foul ball among the carriage!
which brought cheers from the crowd
Altogether the game was the pretties
contest that has been seen here this year
Tomorrow the Bel Air team plays TIL

will doubtless be close and exciting.
