NJ. &. Ranges Barn Burned.

The large bank barn of Farmer Leon
ard Range, at Stewart Run, was burned
to the ground on Saturday morning last.
The origin of the fire is very much of a
mystery. Mr.. Range had gone to the
barn to feed and attend the horses and
had thrown some hay into the managers.
He had instructed his son to hitch up
after breakfast and haul some planks to a
place not far from his home to repair a
bridge. The young man left the barn
about O'Clock with his load and had
been gone perhaps an hour and on his re-
turn discovered the fire when some dis
tance away, the blaze seeming to be in
the upper story of the building, where
neither he nor his father bad been that
morning. Neither Mr.. Range nor his
son smoke and neither had any matches
about them, so that the origin could not
be attributed to them, and it is hard to be-
lieve that the fire could haye come from
spontaneous combustion so early in the
morning. There was no chance to save
the contents, much less the building with
the means at hand, in fact it took hard
work to save the dwelling house and corn
crib which stood near the barn. Between
45 and 90 tons Of hay, 45 bushels of huck-
wheat, a quantity of unthreshed rye. a
grain drill, moving machine and other
farm implements we're burned. Only an
old buggy and set of single harness
were saved.
The barn was a fine three-story struct'
ure, 50x70 feet in dimension, and cannot
be replaced for 81, 900, thus running the
loss to Mr.. Range up to nearly 50 900, on
which there was an insurance of 800 on
the building and $500 on the contents. A
very serious loss to the owner, surely.

Catarrh of Bile Ducts. There are sever

When there is a Catarrhal condition of
