TO FIGHT CARRANZA.
Hope of Peaceful Settlement in Mex
leo Vanishes.

MEXICO CITY, August S. - The
day 5 development resulted in triumph
for the war party. All hope for peace
between the federals and the constitu-
tionalists is now apparently gone. The
war party is i'll control and is being
backed up by Provisional President
Carbajal and unless concessions are
made Gen. Carranza, it seems, must
fight his way into the capital and to
power.
Gen. Medina Barron was yesterday
appointed commander-in-ch of the
federal forces in the capital. . We have
$4,000 men, 65 field pieces, 100 machine
guns and plenty of ammunition, said
a prominent army official yesterday.
We are prepared to resist to the end
unless ample guarantees are given us
If we must fight it will be one of the
greatest battles of the revolution, for
it will take place on the plain and with
none of the familiar cover offered by
mountain fighting. Every officer in the
federal army is prepared to die in de-
fense of the lives and property of the
inhabitants of the capital.
The factories here are turning out
G0,000 cartridges daily. In addition
there are 1000 stands of new japanese
rifles and 5000 Spanish rifles in the
armory at Ciudadela, western suburb
| Of the city, and also the arms taken
to Mexico reeentlyby the steamer Ypi
| ranga.

$1,000 Steamer and Men from
Brattleboro Summoned.
Especial to The Reformer.)
CHI FORD Au0 &

..
Fire which started in the barn on the
old E. c. Carpenter place in Guilford
last night completely DESTROYED that
building, the adjoining sheds and the
house, occupied by Fred Coombs and
formerly for many years the home of
the late Jeremiah Noyes and family.
Practically all of the contents of the
house We're saved, also two horses and.
one cow from the barn. The loss is
placed between $4,000 and $4,000. The
property was insured.
Mrs. Coombs, who has been critically
i'll several weeks, was carried from the
house to the residence of Mrs. S. A.
Smith. In spite of the fact that a
large number of men worked under ex-
tremely trying circumstances in get
ting out the contents of the house, ev-
en- to the carpets, no one was seriously
injured, although one or two have
slight burns.
An appeal was teIephoned to Brattle-
boro for a steamer. and Chief Engineer
Harvey w. Sanders and seven men
went ont, but by the time they reach
cd the fire there was nothing that could
be done except to wet down the ruins
The fact that there was no wind and
that the nearest buildings all had slate
roofs, alone prevented a much more Sc
rious fire
Edward Squires was seated ON his
veranda opposite the Coombs property
just before 1890 o clock, when he saw
smoke coming from the Coombs barn.
He hurried there, gave the alarm and
while members of the Coombs family
were carrying out Mrs. Coombs, Mr..
Squires and others who were quickly
on the scene got the two horses and
one cow out Of the barn. One pig and
some poultry had to be left behind.
News was telephoned two or three
miles in every direction and to Brat
| tleboro for help, and the residents of
Guilford were very prompt in respond
| ing.
| They quickly divided up the work of
| saving the contents and even savel
| practically the entire stock of the stor,
| which is conducted by Mr.. Coombs
with the exception Of what was in the
| cellar.
The fire was raging through tn,
| whole upper portion of the barn When
| discovered, ana il is believed that i
was caused by spontaneous combustion

the salvage corps was ahead of tn,
flames, and despite the terrific heat the,
worked with such good Judgment an,
speed that there was little loss on con
tents except the barn and sheds.
The Congregational church across tn
road, was used as the storehouse for tn
piano, bedding and clothing aud por
tions Of the stock of the store. Heav
Ter pieces were left in safe places near
by until this morning.
There was $2,700 insurance on tn
buildings and contents, placed throug
the agency of George Clay Of Brat
tIeboro.
Those who went from Brattleboro i
automobiles included Chief Sander,
