Andy Brann and ]. T. Stuart, trading as
Brann & Stuart, and the Brann & Stuart

obliged to stand on certain insecure beams
without having the danger incident thereto
pointed out to him. When he stepped upon
one Of these alleged unfastened beams. he
declares. he fell a distance Of twenty feet.
landing on the railroad tracks below.
AS the result of the fall. he states, bones

DESTROYED BY FIRE
ALBERT CARRY LOSES LARGE
BARN AND CONTENTS

Fire last night completely destroyed the
president Of the National Capital Brewing
Company, which is located on his farm on
The Suitland road. In Maryland, short dis
lance beyond the District line. All the con-
tents, including hay, grain, farming imple-
ments and carriages. were burned, but the
horses were saved by the farm hands. The
loss is estimated at about $4,000 and is only
partially covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered about midnight
when the flames were leaping from the roof
and almost completely enveloping the en-
tire structure Mr. Carry has a summer
home on his farm, which he was occupying,
but he and his family were asleep. They
covered that the barn several hundred yards
away was in flames. The farm employees
were also awakened and efforts were at
once directed toward saving the live stock.
These animals were kept in the basement,
under concrete flooring, and owing to this
protection, which held for some time, the
men were able to lead out all the horses and
other live stock.
In the barn at the time of its destruction
were about fifty tons of hay. large guam
tity of grain to be used as feed, the farm
implements and all of Mr.. Carry's carriages.
None Of these was saved The first thing
that President Garry did this morning upon
his arrival in the city, was to purchase q
quantity of farm implements SO that his
employees might continue their work.
NO cause can be assigned for the fire, as
there was no fire or light in the barn last
night.

GHOSTS ARE ON STRIKE.
Fifteenth Street Spirits Refuse to Per-
form Any More.

Ever since the story about ghosts inhab-
iting the house at 1923 18th street north.
west was printed couple Of days ago, with
a description of the disembodied spirits put
ting to flight three embodied spirits who
had ventured to lease the abode, the corner
of 10th and N streets has attracted more
curious visitors, probably, than at any other
time in its history. Hundreds Of persons
have passed the house and scores have
stood on the sidewalk and peered through
the windows for hours, seeking to catch a
glimpse of the a'ants'' which made life
SO miserable for Mrs. Clara Downing and
her daughters, Mrs. Anderson and Miss
Clara Bowling.
But the medium, who interpreted the
moaning, coughing, door-slamming, shutter
rafting and other manifestations to mean
that the ghosts wanted the house to them
selves, was undoubtedly right, because no
one has been able to hear the unnatural
noises since the Dowlings moved away. Or
ders have gone forth from the police de-
partment for the men on the beat passing
10th and N streets to prevent crowds con-
tinuing to congregate in the vicinity.
