O'Clock Judge of the Orphans Court
Daniel Wilson, who resides on his
farm near charlottesville, discover
ed his residence to be on fire and ow-
ing to the nigh wind prevailing at the
time which scattered the burning
embers to other buildings on the
farm, the dwelling, which Judge Will
son and his family occupied, vacant
log house used as dwelling many
years ago, the granary and the smoke
house, were entirely consumed, along
with portion of the furniture, grain
and meat in process of curing, entail
ing loss above insurance of about
$4,000. The insurance carried on the
property by the owner was but $3.50.
Mr.. Wilson and his family had re-
tired some time before the fire was
discovered, they being awaken by the
smell of smoke and upon making an
investigation the fire was discovered
in portion of the house where no
artificial means of heating had been
used for sometime, which leads Mr..
Wilson to think that mice had caused
the fire by chewing and exploding
some parlor matches.
Mr.. Wilson and his family used
every endeavor to extinguish the fire
but were unable to make any head
way against it.
Preparations are being made by
Mr.. Wilson to rebuild his house and
other structures at once.

Right of Way Marked.

Since the fire which destroyed the
clock of buildings near the Second
street crossing a corps of Baltimore
and Ohio civil engineers surveyed the
right of way of the railroad company
at that point and on Tuesday the
trackmen planted large iron posts at
the points designated by the engi-
neers. The right of way as mark
ed takes from foot to three feet from
the property owners on the south
side of the alleyway which includes
the Hessen, Loar and Hamill proper,
ties. The action of the railroad com
pany in thus cutting down the depth
of the property makes the lots very
shallow and almost entirely too small
for building purposes.

Baptist services were held on last
Sunday morning at Deer Park, Rev.
w. Fl. Faust preaching to a large
congregation on Gods Providential
Dealings
Mr.. Faust is a strong adherent of
the doctrine that God controls and
cares for all His creatures, even the
lowliest. A great massive oak, he
said, looked down with contempt on
a tiny little violet at its side. II have
been Lying here for hundreds and
hundreds of years" said the oak,
land you are growing down there
beside me as though you were of some
importance. Nobody cares anything
about you; you have no aim in the
world, while live here year in and
year out, at last when tumble down
Ia decay, there will be great mound
to SHOW where | have lived
The little violet said, God in His
plans made it so that you had to be
strong, and He also saw that had
purpose in the world and that pur-
pose was to be fragrant and sweet,
and as long as am sweet and beau
tiful l am just as important in the
world"
God tcontrols everything, great
events are in His keeping, and indeed
everything receives His watchful care.
Whether we are on the sea or the
land, we are under His guidance and
shelter. Even the hairs of our head
are numbered.
