BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE.

A barn and contents owned by Mrs.
NJ M. Barber were destroyed by fire
in South Windham Sunday morning. An
explosion was heard by the members of
the household and Immediately after
wards flames were seen coming out of
the barn, from which fact it is deduced
that the fire was caused by spontaneous
combustion. There was 5000 insurance
on the barn and contents, but the loss
will be considerably more than that.
Mrs. Barber's nephew had finished
milking and was at breakfast when the
explosion was heard, and one member
of the family was awakeded by it. The
barn stood across the road from the
house. 1t was impossible to save any
thing as the flames were coming out in
all directions. In the barn were five
tons of hay, $50 sap buckets, numerous
tools and quantity of maple syrup in
glass jars, packed on ice. There was
no stock in the barn.

GRAIN CONTRACTED FOR PRIOR

of opinion exists among grain dealers
here as to the extent Of the concession
made by the Canadian government
when it allowed Communicated wheat
to be delivered to United States buy
ers who had contracted for it before
the order of seizure went into effect,
Henry Stemper of the Grain Growers
Export Co., said he believed about
100000 bushels of grain would be
released to Canadian contractors SO
they could fulfill their American con
tracts. but that no grain would be re-
leased for any other neutral country.
Holland, Greece, Spain, Sweden
and other neutral European countries
will not be permitted to get any of the
Communicated grain he said. 1T
will be released on the condition that
it be replaced within sixty days and
it will not be necessary that the grain
released was contracted for before
the wheat was Communicated. 1t
must be declared for delivery In the
United Kingdom, however, or the Can
adian government will not permit its
shipment"

COAL IS FIXED TO
START FIRE AT SEA

New York, Dec. 2.-Acting on the
suspicion that fires have been started
In coal bunkers of several steamships
leaving here with munitions OF war
for the entente allies were caused by
chemicals mixed with the coal, fed
eral and city detectives are working
as coal trimmers in the bunkers of
some of the steamships now loading
here. One of the steamers whose coal
supply was carefully inspected by de-
tectives is the French liner Rocham-
beau which caught fire on her last
eastbound voyage and which leaves
Saturday for Bordeaux.
The investigators are said to have
received information that a new
chemical compound is being tested by
persons seeking to prevent the move
ment of war munitions and that coal
impregnated with this will burn spon-
taneously.
