Meet Death In Roaring Flames
In A Fire At ShipIey's
Station.
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $500.
Fire Said To Be OF InceDdiary ORR
gin Destroys A Frame Barn On
Mr.. Howard R. Iiammonds Truck
Farm At ShipleY StatiOn-PartIy
Covered By Insurance.

NJ. Howard X. Hammond, of Ship.
ley Station, this county, was the
victim of a disastrous fire last night
on his large truck farm. The fire
is supposed to have been the work
of an incendiary.
Five mules and two horses were
burned to death before rescuers could
get to them. Five tons of hay and
five tons of oats were destroyed, to-
gether with a lot of harness and
other effects. The loss is estimated
at Sc, 500, partly covered by insurance.
A neighbor passing the barn at 9. As
o'clock was the first to see the fire.
Mr.. Hammond and family had retired
for the night, and were sound asleep.
The stable was in flames by the time
the family was awakened, and one
hundred men from the vicinity were
soon working like Trojans in efforts
to save the dwelling and other build
ings surrounding the barn.
Water was carried in buckets from
a solitary pump on the place, and it
required heroic work on the part of
the volunteer firemen to soak the
roofs and sides of the frame buildings
and prevent the roaring flames from
the stable from spreading. Once or
twice some of the outbuildings
caught fire, but all of them were
saved from damage. The home,
which is about 400 feet from the
barn, was not even scorched, so eff
fective were the efforts of the volun-
teers.
1t was one of the most exciting
fires that section of the country has
witnessed in many years. The flames
could be seen from the city. Mr..
Hammond stated last night that when
he left the barn at o'clock every
thing was in good shape, and that
there was not the slightest indication
of fire or anything that would cause
it. The family went to bed at the
usual hour, and even then everything
on the farm seemed to be all right.
No one on the place could account
for the fire, and the belief is that it
was of incendiary origin. Although a
statement to this effect was given
out. no one is suspected. A report
will be made to State Fire Marshal
Ewell, who will make an immediate
investigation The barn was one
story and half high.
Shipley Station is on the old Balti-
more and Annapolis Short Line Rail-
road. Mr.. Hammond is one of the
largest and most successful truck
farmer in the county. He is the son
of Mr.. John T. Hammond, who is also
a large truck farmer in the same To-
cality.

1t is with regret that this Company
is again called upon to warn its pa
irons in the careful use of water. Our
storage supply is completely exhaust
ed, so that we are pumping into our
reservoirs alone the daily supply run
ming from our streams, which is di-
minishing day by day. Many rains
fallen in Annapolis have passed by our
wter sheds entirely. A personal in
spection of our plant reveals the fact
that our supply TODAY is lower than
at any time during the drouth of last
year.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPE RA I'VE
that all street and lawn sprinkling be
discontinued. While the public has
cordially co-operated with the Com
pany towards this end, it is a regret
able fact that some persons still con-
tinue to sprinkle their lawns gardens
and streets, utterly unmindful of the
injury they are working the com
munity.
