 The Spring Glen farm in Hamden, one of the largest and best known farms in Connecticut which is owned by Attorney James H. Webb, had a most serious fire there yesterday after noon, which destroyed Iractiaclly all the farm buildings, and would have de- stroged the spacious and handsome res idence but for the fact that the wind luckily was from the northwest, so that the flames and sparks went in other directions away. from the house. The damage will probably amount to $15, ,00O and likely a great deal more. Of this amount Mir. Webb stated last night $1o,000 was coveredjby insurance. The rest will be a total less. '&'s'

The rest of the barr was quickly destroyed, and the two horses perished in the flames, which swept onward in thdr work of destruc- ton.
