Fire Destroys House and Farm Build
| ings.-The house. barn and several outbuild
ings with contents1 of Mr.. John L. Sippel, q
Fullerton, Belair road, were destroyed by fir
| about O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon, causin
a loss of nearly $4,000, which is only PARTIAL,
covered by insurance The fire is supposed I,
have started at the kitchen range and at tn
| time there was no one in the house, as MIR. ant
Mrs. Sippel had gone to give some instruction
| to the carpenters who are at work on a new
residence short distance away. One of then
called Mr.. Sippels attention to the fact that
large quantity of smoke was pouring out thu
rear of the house. Mr.. Sippel ran into thu
| front and at once began to carry articles Of
furniture out. He was assisted by number Of
the neighbors who collected promptly. The
fire burned freely and in short time those at
work in saving personal effects had to leave the
house.
A telephone message had been sent to the
Gardenville Engine Company and the Alert
Volunteer Fire Company also responded to q
call for assistance. The fire burned SO rapidly,
however, that before the members of the COM
panies arrived the barn and stable, combina.
ton building, had caught and were almost de-
stroyed before water could be thrown upon it.
A bucket brigade was formed and made
heroic efforts to save the doomed building, but
to no avail. The high wind which was blow
ing at the time caused the houses in the neigh
hood to be threatened and close watch was
kept for any outbreak of flames in these
buildings.
Mr.. Sippel's place is fitted with two large
tanks and gasoline pumping plant, but the
tank on the windmills was rendered useless by
the flames, and the gasoline engine was out of
order at the time the fire broke out and therefore
useless. In less than half an hour both the house
and the barn were masses ofruins. Fortunate
ly at the time the fire broke out there was none
of the stock in the barn. The horses and cat
tie were in the fields.
Mr.. Sippel had narrow escape while at work
saving his effects. When the heat had become
so intense as to cause him to determine to aban-
don his efforts, he found his retreat by way of
the stairway cut off. A large apple tree stood
close by the section of the house in which he
was at work and he swung himself out by
means of one of its branches and then climbed
down to the ground.

Their Own Trolley Line.-The residents and
property owners along the Philadelphia road
want a trolley road and steps have been taken
by them to build one. Already 80 900 has
been subscribed and it is probable that with.
in the next few weeks enough money will
be secured to insure the success of the en-
terprise.
1t is proposed at first to build single-track
line with numerous switches from the city line
along the Philadelphia road to Grange Hall,
distance of about six miles, The line will con.
meet with the Federal street, Preston street, or
one of the other eastern lines of the United
Railways and Electric Company by which the
passengers on the new line can go to any part
of the city.
To build this road it is estimated that about
$50 600 will be required. The promoters say
that as soon as S35, 900 has been subscribed it
will be an easy matter to issue bonds for the
remaining $4,000. 1t is proposed to lease the
roIiRg slH gs aRa ssepSs from the 0nted
line in that section. but the recent development
of the Philadelphia road made the needs more
acute Mr. John j Hurst, representing the
owners of Chesaco Park new suburban de-
velopment of over 300 acres, lying on Back
river and Northeast creek, and Mr.. Z. Ross
Mace, representing other property owners,
started the movement for the new road The
project was presented at meeting of the Locust
Grove Grange last week and met with general
approval About $4,000 was promised, OF
which $4,000 has been subscribed. When the
money needed has been raised company will
be incorporated and stock issued for the sub
scriptions.
