Moore Home Destroyed BY Fire.

The brick residence on the farm
of Hon. A. Moore. Jr.. just west
of town, and opposite Rosemont,
was entirely destroyed by fire
Monday afternoon.
The residence was occupied by
Mr.. William Bonham. and all of
the family were at the dinner table
when the fire was discovered.
Its supposed that the Gre started
from a spark on the kitchen roof.
although. as stated above, the
family were at dinner, and the roof
was almost a solid blaze before it
was discovered, and it had made
such rapid head-way that its origin
could not be positively traced.
With very little water available
at the house, and the hose of the
Berryville Fire Company too short
to reach from the nearest fire-plug
Cat the toll-gate), it was seen from
the first that the house was doomed.
although everything possible was
done to stop the progress of the
flames.
As soon as it was realized that
nothing could be done to save the
house, every one combined 70
save the household furniture and
effects of Mr.. Bonham. and
nearly everything of value on the
first floor of the house was safely
taken out.
Mr.. Bonham's loss will not. it
Is thought, exceed. $3.50.
The loss on the residence will be
about $4,000, on which there was
approximately only $4,000 Of in
surance, and it will thus be seen
that Mr.. Moore will lose fully
$4,000.
The house, which was brick and
two stories in height, was built in
1850 by the late Captain Diffen-
derfer father of Mrs. Chas. H..
BoXwelD, and was situated upon a
commanding eminence overlooking
the town. Facing the east, the
view of the Blue Ridge from the
front portico of the house was
superb.

Club Junket

With the date of their starting on
the annual west side tour and con-
dltlons never so good for a success
full trip, the Whitman College Glee
club may be forced to disband owing
to a decision of the faculty yester-
day, when it decided that four of the
men, including the soloist, could not
represent the college. on the trip un-
less they made up several conditions
that have been hanging over their
heads for some time. In order to give
the members a chance and not dis
rupt the musical organization, the
faculty has consented to allow the
students to take examinations Sat-
urday.
Manager Harold Crawford has spent
about $500 this year in equipping, the
club, and if the faculty continues to
take the stand they have and the
students fail to pass the examinations
| Saturday the student body will have
to dig down in their pockets and
make up the $500. This is not at all
agreeable to the students and they
are making a determined fight to have
the faculty reconsider their action of
yesterday. The club was scheduled to
appear in Milton tomorrow night, and
this date will doubtless be kept, even
though the four barred students do
not accompany the club. The trip to
the coast is to commence on the
evening of the 2Sth, when the club
was to appear in North Yakima. On
the following night they are scheduled
for an appearance at Seattle. the next
night at Bellingham, Tacoma on the
31st, and Ellensburg on April l.
The students point out that the fail
ure of the club to keep the dates will
not help it any for the arranging of
dates next year
