DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRE.
Serious Damage in the Eastern Part
of Charles County.

LA PLATA, Md, April 9.-One OF the
most destructive fires that have occurred
in this county swept over the eastern sec
ton, doing great damage to timber and
fences and destroying the dwelling house
and outbuildings of George NJ. WOODBURY.,
farmer, near Hughesville. The fire
originated from the burning of small
pile of brush in a garden on the property
of Edward Howard. Owing to the high
wind the flames got beyond control and
quickly spread to the neighboring woods,
where it swept everything in it's path,
covering an area of several square miles.
On reaching Mr.. Woodburns house the
flames leaped across All open field several
hundred yards wide. The dwelling and
outbuildings soon went UP in smoke, and
it was with great difficulty that the live
stock was rescued from the stables. The
property was only partially insured. Hun
dreds of acres of timber were charred by
the flames. and the loss is heavy one
to land owners throughout the section
traversed by the fire.

ROCKVILLE. Nd, April Q, 1909.
For the purpose of holding fair at
Rockville, in July, the Rockville Masonic
Fair Association has been organized, with
the following officers: President, DR..
George l.. Edmonds; vice president, DIR.
George f. Lewis secretary and treasurer.
Robert G. Hilton. The fair will be held
for the purpose of increasing the fund
that is being raised for the erection of a
Masonic temple at Rockville. A three
day fair was held last year, when about
s., 600 was cleared.
Representatives OF the Washington and
Rockville Electric Railway Company ap-
peared before the Rockville town council
last evening and requested that the ordi-
nance limiting the speed of cars within
the corporate limits of Rockville to eight
miles an hour be changed so as to make
the limit fifteen miles an hour.
1t was claimed that since the extension
OF the Washington and Rockville road to
the extreme western section of Rockville
the cars have not been able to make the
trip from Washington to the rev termf-
nus on schedule time with satisfactory reg
ularity, but that IL faster time were per-
mitted in Rockville, a more regular sched-
ule could be maintained.
The board decided against making any
change in the ordinance. at the same time
serving notice that the law would have to
be strictly observed and that every time a
car was run in excess Of the limit fixed by
the ordinance an arrest would be made.
Mayor Offutt suggested a way in which
better time could be made between Wash
ington and Rockville without any change
In the Rockville law. He referred to the
crowded condition of almost every Rock
vile car leaving Washington. which, he
said. was due to residents Of the District
of Columbia residing along the line pre-
ferring the Rockville cars to the regular
District cars, and recommended that the
Rockville cars be run express to the
Maryland line.
Whether Mayor Offutts suggestion will
be adopted by the railway people has not
been intimated but the idea is said to be
very popular with the Montgomery coun-
ty patrons of the road.
Mayor William Fl. Roach Of Glen Echo

Willard s. Haynie and Miss LillaS w.
Angel, both of this city, are to be mar

this forthcoming event Is one OF general
interest to the employees, particularly in
the division of copyrights. It was here
that the romance had its beginning.
About eight years ago, when Willard
Haynie was fifteen years of age. he was
received on the library pay roll as a
messenger. All the clerks are agreed
that Willard was a great boy. He was
most painstaking and obliging. and kept
In his place, as all good little boys should.
He was the 'office kid par excellence.
His side line was the study of ste
biography.
One day there came great rush of
business to the Office. The regular
stenographic staff was fairly swamped.
Willard was put on to help out, and he
did SO well that he has been following
that line of activity ever since.
In September. 1906. Miss Lillias w.
Washington Technical and Business High
schools, came to the Office of the register
of copyrights as a stenographer and type
writer, and was given a desk near to
Willard Haynie. The knowing ones say
that 1t was q case of love at first
willing to explain the office detail to the
handsome young clerk, and these same
folk say that Miss Angel seemed very
much pleased to be in such capable
hands.
Fortune favored the young lovers the
other day, for Mr.. Haynie received an ap-
pointment to the land Office In Little
Rock. Ark. at 81 600 a year. Miss Angel
and the groom-elect promptly handed in
their designations at the library and are
busy with preparations for a wedding at
the home of the bride-elect in the
Lafayette apartments, where she resides
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert f.
Angel. The latter came to Washington
from Providence, r. l. The wedding is
to take place the evening of April p.
