BLAZE AT MIDNIGHT
FIRE CAUSES DAMAGE ON
ERNEST BURGDoRF's FARM.

disastrous confiagration occurred last
night about IL O'Clock on the farm of
Ernest Burgdorf on the Silver Hill road,
the big barn and mill being destroyed.
Several years ago the farm was visited by
a cyclone and the barn and other build
ings almost completely wrecked.
1t is stated that great many tons of
hay were stored in the barn and the farm
ing implements were also kept there, but
no horses or other live stock were in the
building. When the blaze was discovered
employees of Mr.. Burgdorf and a number
of neighbors made an effort to check it.
but the high wind caused the flames to
spread SO rapidly that they could ac-
complish but little. They worked hard
however and saved part of the portable
property.
The mill was exclusively for the benefit
of the large farm of Mr.. Burgdorf, not
being used by the public. Mr. Burgdorf's
farm is considered to be one of the most
in Prince George county. 1t is
near Oxon Hill and only about three miles
from the Knox farm. The blaze was seen
by thousands of residents of this city
and many of them called on the operators
at police headquarters to ascertain what
was burning. Mr.. Burgdorf was advised
of the fire and he hurried to the scene
All the machinery in the saw and grist
mill was ruined. 1t is estimated that
fully $4,000 damage was caused There
was nothing found to indicate how the
fire originated

FORGIVENESS LACKING.
Mother Of Eloping School Girl Dis
Approves of Match.

Mrs. Benjamin Cobleigh, mother Of Miss
Name Cobleigh, who eloped to Rockville
yesterday morning from Hamilton Insti-
tute with Charles M. OBoyle. a George
town College student, left the bedside of
her sick husband at the Waldorf-Astoria.
New York, yesterday and hurried to this
city. She left New York on the first train
after being informed of the situation
here and arrived late in the afternoon,
not telling her husband of the marriage.
The mother called the school authorities
by telephone. What she said about her
daughter the school authorities would not
divulge, but it Is stated she intimated she
would not forgive the young lady.
Before the arrival Of Mrs. Cobleigh the
baggage of the bride had been sur
rendered. Such was done because, 1t is
stated. a message was received at the in
stitute from a man who represented HIM
self to be a lawyer. His request was re-
fused at first, but when he threatened
legal proceedings he was told that Mrs.
O'Boyle could have her effects II she
would send for them, which she did.
Friends say that the couple left here on q
late afternoon train for Philadelphia.
Private Detective McDevitt was sum-
moned to the institute yesterday after
noon. but when Mrs. Cobleigh reached
the city 1T was determined that the serv-
ices Of the detective would not be needed.

Belasco.

Carlotta Nilsson and the Madison Sauare

play in four acts, by Rachel Crothers, at
the Belasco last night and was heartily
received Miss Nilsson, as the brave. spir.
tied woman who has to look after the
moral and material interests of two
younger brothers and at the same time
keep an eye on the prospects of THE
Three of U.s. mine. presents a character
portrayal direct in it's appeal and vitality
truthful. Her transitions from comedy
to pathos are void Of effort or conscious
ness. and in her more dramatic moods she
shows a depth of reserve, an appreciation
of balance and the judicious sense to q
marked degree. 1t is a hOmely play-or
rather 1t is series of episodes of human
interest-a well-studied theme, devoid of
claptrap, Straightforward and dramatical-
ly honest. The pity Of it is that dramatic
requirements necessitate the creation of a
plot. 1t obtrudes itself in all its bare
ness at the most inopportune moments,
just when things are becoming COW and
comfortable. Not that 1t Is a particularly
offensive plot-in fact, 1t is rather unpre-
tentious in itself-but its very presence is
annoying. That Louis Beresford should
be compelled to be labeled villain is also
unfortunate. When his actions are an
alyzed he is found to be about as good as
the average man. and certainly more re-
sourceful and discerning than Stephen
Tomley, his heroic rival, who at times is
hopelessly stupid. Next to the work of
Miss Nilsson. that Of John Wesley, as
Glen, the elder OF the two brothers, is to
be admired. 1t Is as natural as nature
and altogether as wholesome. Frederick
Truesdell. as Stephen Tomley, and Har-
rison Hunter. as Beresford. are hampered
by the conventional character of their
roles. but acQuit themselves with credit

DEATH BY SUICIDE
CERTIFICATE IN CASE OF FOR
MER POLICEMAN POTTER.

Acting Coroner Glazebrook made an in
vestigation into the death of former Po-
hceman Joseph F. Potter who died at
the Georgetown University Hospital yes
terday afternoon. The acting Coroner
gave a certificate showing Potter's death
resulted from a dose of strychnine that
was taken with suicidal intent. Potter
had been arrested Sunday afternoon on
complaint Of his wife for alleged failure
to provide for her and their four little
children He was searched before he was
locked up, but no poison was found in
his pockets. He complained of illness yes
terday morning, but declined to go to the
hospital for treatment. Later his con-
dition became such that the police hur-
ried him to the institution.
Mrs Potter was found at her home. 2013
Both street, and was tod of ths death of
her husband. She turned over to the po-
lice two notes that her husband had writ
ten and left at the house, the notes be-
ing dated October 81 In them he gave
directions as to the disposition of his po-
lice insurance money, directing that $40
be paid Capt. Boyle Of the third precinct,
who had befriended him, and sad he had
made fight against self-destruction, but
it had been of no avail
1t is believed by the police that Potter
had the poison concealed about his person
when he was placed under arrest, but as
there was no reason to suspect he had any
intention of ending his life, he was not
given thorough search. The deceased
who was thirty-eight years cd, was a
native OF New Jersey He was a member

pointed to a position on the police force.
