Set Fire to an Outbuilding and Then
Robbed Farm House.-One OF the most dar-
ing burglaries that has ever been perpetrated in
Baltimore county occurred on Thursday night,
January 18th, at the home OF Mr.. Thomas v.
Richardson, about mile and a-half from
Phoenix. In order to cover their entrance into
the main house the robbers. it is believed ser
fireto one of the small outbuildings near by and
while the excitement there was at its height the
men effected an entrance into the large house
through the windows by means of ladder and
succeeded in getting away with considerable
quantity of valuables.
Just about 10 o'clock the members of Mr..
Richardson's family and the men who are en-
pIoyed on the farm were thrown into high
state of excitement by the breaking out of
q fire in one of the small outbuildings on the
place. Immediately there was call for help
and all the hands fastened to the scene In the
meanwhile the main house was entered and
ransacked. Four gold watches ofconsiderable
value, two bracelets, several rings and some
very valuable papers were taken, together with
$2OOin money. The marauders entered through
a large window, the glass of which they smashed
with little fear of detection, owing to the ex-
element over the fire. That the fire and the
burglary were both planned by the same men
ia the belief of Mr. Richardson, and the nature
of the fire would bear out the assumption that
it was OF incendiary origin.
When Mr.. Richardson returned to his home
and found the rooms topsy turvy he commune
Gated at once with the county authorities and
stated that he believed the guilty parties had
taken the IL o'clock train for Baltimore. The
fire fortunately was put out before any great
damage was done.
Creamer of the county, and Detective Porter,
of Baltimore city, visited the Richardson farm
the next day and made careful investigation.
No arrests have yet been made.

Delightful Function at the Green Spring
Valley Kennels.-The most delightful and
unique social function of the season in Green
Spring Valley society was the dinner and dance
of the Fox and Horn given Friday evening,
JANUARY 18th, at the Green Spring Valley Hunt
Club Kennels. The entire club house presented
q picturesque appearance and the decorations
were particularly attractive. In addition to
the dinner, at which an elaborate menu was
served, there followed a german, the members
dancing in their pink hunting coats to the
music of Parsons Orchestra, hidden behind
circle of palms, ferns and potted plants, inter-
mingled with clusters of incandescent electric
lights.
There were five tables the decorations of
which were suggestive OF Maryland hunting
scenes. The centerpieces were ofgreen buriap,
representing grass surrounded by miniature
fences characteristic of those to be found in
various sections Of the State. These included
the stonewall fences of Western Maryland, the
worm fences of the Eastern Shore, the old half
plank fences of Hartford county and the post
and rail fences found on the hunting fields Of
Green Spring Valley.
The center table represented the steeplechase
course and brush jumps and wings and flags
of red and white and an exact imitation of Mr..
Thomas Deford's stable. Another table, repre-
senting Mr.. Redmond G. Stewart taking the
Jumps, won admiration, while approaching
the Jump was a representation OF Mr.. A. ID.
Hail. followed closely by the pack. in itself one
of the most pretentious decorations ever at
tempted. Placed on the burlap hunting field
within were trophies of the chase-fox heads.
brushes, miniature horsemen, riders and
hounds. The place cards and menus were
decorated with hunting scenes. The menu
itself was suggestive of the chase.
The entertainment was the second large
social function given by the Fox and Horn.
The event last year was such success that it
was determined to repeat it this year.

GIRL DlSINFECTS HERSELF
Attempts Suicide But ignorant of Ef-
fects OF Chemicals She Receivers
in Better Health.

oakland. Cal, Dec 29.-Ignorance
OF the effects of chemicals led Miss
Helen Rosencrantz to administer a
double dose OF oxygen to herself in
an Intellectual effort to end her life.
She emerged from the ordeal much
benefited in health, physicians say.
Dependency drove her to swallow
several grains of permanganate of
potash. Fearing that this drug might
not have the desired effect, she drank
bottle of hydrogen peroxide. This
combined with the permanganate and
produced large volumes of oxygen,
causing her great pain but putting her
in no danger of death
When the reaction finally ceased,
Miss Rosenerantz left the hospital
where neighbors sent her without her
melancholia and. according to
physicians, absolutely disinfected.
