gular that so far there has been no frost
TO amount TO anything. Much OF the veg
citation is still green and flourishing.
Last Wednesday an automobile officer
in Middletown, Md, set watch on au-
tomobilists passing through that place to
the Frederick fair and nabbed about TWEEN
ty-fiye of them who exceeded twenty
miles an hour. The speed limit for the
town is twelve miles, but the officer was
instructed to arrest only those who went
twenty miles or faster. AT the east end
OF Middletown there is long grade, and
the tourists, seeing this hill ahead OF them,
and perhaps being fooled by the fine new
State road, let out bit more speed than
the law allowed. Thereupon an officer
on motorcycle ranged no alongside and
politely invited them TO go with him be-
fore the squire. Here the fine was i'm
partially assessed at Sc. go for all who were
proven guilty. There was good deal OF
squirming, but in the end all Of them had
TO pay. Among those who were fined
were Messrs George and Harry Staley, OF
Shepherdstown, who are certainly re-
garded as our very steadiest drivers, and
| il is hard to believe that they got up 10
twenty miles an hour. Still, you never
can tell how sporty man becomes when
he gets away from home. II is said that
the Middletown folks had to protect
themselves from the reckless speed oi
10y riders fir m Hagerstown and Other
places who were using the Main street as
| race course.

In gratitude for relief from aches and
pains of bad backs-from distressing kid
ney ills-thousands have publicly recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents

Big Fire i'm Hagerstown.

The worst fire that has ever occurred
in Hagerstown visited that place early
yesterday morning, causing a loss Of some
100000. The fire broke out about
O'Clock a. m, starting in the Antietam
Garage, opposite the B. & o. station,
either from match dropped in oil or
from back-fre from an automobile. In a
few moments the building was ablaze all
over and nothing could be done TO stay
the flames. The building, valued at $780,
600, and which belonged 10 o. d. Sher-
ley, was entirely destroyed. There were
70 automobiles in the garage, many Of
them very valuable ones, and only one
or two were gotten cut. The loss on cars
alone is about $4,000. with very little
insurance The Antietsm Garage was
operated by H. E. Baker, whose loss is
$4,000 The Antietam Fire Company's
hall was also burned, causing a loss OF
$4,000, and Company B. Maryland Ma
tional Guard, was burned out, with loss
OF 5000 or more. The Cumberland
Valley Box Company suffered a loss OF
$4,000 and the Hippodrome Skating Rink
$1,000. While this big tire was being
fought, the Baldwin Hotel on Washing
ton street, couple OF blocks away, was
discovered TO be on fire-whether from
spark from the first blaze or from some
other cause IS not known. This hotel
was almost completely destroyed, though
the walls remained intact. The loss on
the building, which is owned by the
Hamilton estate, is placed at $1,000
and {. w. Boyer, the manager, loses
about $4,000 The guests all escaped
safely, though some Of them lost their
baggage. This is the third time the hotel
on this site has been destroyed by fire.
Grove Bros, who had store in the
building, lost heavily by water. There
was good insurance on all the property
affected by the fire except the automo-
biles. The reelection from the conflagra-
ton was plainly seen in Shepherdstown.
The fire departments OF Martinsburg,
Chambersburg and Waynesboro, in re-
Spouse to calls for assistance, went TO
Hagerstown as speedily as possible and
rendered efficient aid.
