TONS Of hay, two or three tons Of feed
and many small tools we're totally

about noon. Mr. Howard was in
bridgeport at his business and all the
men On the place were away at the
time. Some men of John Stowe OF
bridgeport were doing some saving at
The saw mill just north Of the barn
when about noun they saw the root OF
the barn was on fire, having burnt quite
hole IN 1t. They quickly gave the

could not be saved and all hands went
TO work to save the house, blacksmith

succeeded in saving these buildings.
All the stock and nearly all the farm
machinery were taken out of the build

CORNWALL BRIDGE.
A SAD TRAGEDY.

This community was shocked on
Thursday last by the news that Hubert
Bailey had shot himself while IN a
temporary fit of dependency. He
fired two bullets into his head. One,
supposed to be the first, entered his
ear and not proving fatal, the second
shot was near the temple, which after
about five hours of Inconsistencies
caused death. Mr. Bailey was a hard
working, Industrious man and man
who attended strictly to his own bust
wife, two sons and one daughter to
mourn his loss. They have the heart
felt sympathy Of the entie community.
MrS Bailey was under the DOCTORS care
at the time Of the tragedy and bad
been for several days, making his bur-
den so much the greater in his
weakened condition. The funeral was
held in the A. o. U. w. hall on Sun
day at 10 As, the order having charge
Of the exercises, Seth Chapman, Past
Master in charge. Rev @. H. Pickett
followed with remarks founded on the
words, Let not your heart be
troubled" making an impressive ad-
dress: The choir rendered the hymns,
"Rock of Ages" and Sometime Wen
Understand" The closing prayer was
made by Rev Mr. Foster of Cornwall in
a very touching manner. Burial was
in Kent Hollow cemetery, beside a lit
tie son, who was laid there only few
years ago, reminding US of the hymn
zone by One We Cross the River"
Word was received on Saturday of
the sudden death of John Swanson,
caused by heart failure. With scarce
ly a moments warning, another good
citizen and Brother of the A. o. U. w.
order has been called to the lodge on
high. Mr. Swanson and Mr. Bailey
both belonged to the same lodge and
both filled prominent places of trust in
the order. Again the brethren are
warned of the approaching end and the
beautiful watchwords, "Charity, Hope
and Protection" for the dear ones who
are left to mourn their loss.

Cuban General Arrested For Alleged

Cuban General Arrested For Alleged
Completely In Revolution.
After four years of comparative free
dom from internal strife the Cuban
government has been having trouble
with insurrectionary bands. Among
the Cuban malcontents is General Jose
Miguel Gomez, who was the Liberal
candidate for the presidency last fall.
He withdrew before the elections were
held and President Palma was re-
elected without formal opposition.
Gomez and his partisans claimed that
the government would not permit
fair election. and hence that 1t was
futile for an opposition candidate to
remain In the field. General Gomez
later paid visit to the United States
and In interviews here charged Presi-
dent Palma with despotc acts and the
officials of the Moderate party, of
which Senor Palma is head, with cor
ruption. On his return to Cuba he be.
came administrator of the Silvera
Sugar company at Ciego de Avila.
