that could be heard for several miles so pounds
of dynamite exploded during fire which de-
stroyed a barn, corn house and burned one
horse on the property of Mr.. Patrick Feeney
| at Granite, Baltimore county on Tuesday night
shortly after o'clock. The fire was discovered
by Mr.. Henry Johnson, caretaker of the place,
| who was attracted by the neighing of horse
| in the barn. Before he could reach the barn
which was about two hundred feet from the
| house, the whole interior was ablaze. Realizing
that it would be impossible to save the horse be
notified several of the neighbors who began to
pour water on the house to prevent the sparks
| from setting the roofafire. By this time scores
of people had been attracted to the scene and
rendered every assistance possible. While
| fighting the flames terrific explosion occurred
which practically blew the barn to pieces, the
flying fragments being scattered over several
buildings on the place. No one was injured
| The heat was so intense that it was necessary
for the frefghters to cover themselves with
| blankets to prevent themselves from being
| burned. In the barn were 10 tons of hay,
| tons of straw, $50 bushels of wheat, severa
wagons and all the farming implements an6
harness. The dynamite, which was in the
barn, was used in the stone quarry on the
farm. Mr.. Feeney estimates his loss at about
$4,000; partly covered by insurance.
