Freaks of Lightning.

Tearing one entire corner out of
the barn, burning several sets of
harness, and throwing debris beneath
the feet of a stable of horses, light
ming on Monday evening struck the
barn on the farm of Samuel p. Bus
sard, Middletown, tenanted by l.. A.
Poole, and caused a damage of about
$25. The lightning bolt struck the
barn in the upper corner of the barn,
near the roof, went down the drain
pipes, tearing huge stones from the
wall and entered the ground.
Several horses stood within a few
feet of the corner in which the bolt
descended and were not injured The
animals wre badly frightened, some
being struck with small stones that
flew from the barn wall. They were
not injured. Yesterday morning large
stones were found in the stalls of
the stables directly under the horses.
One of the most peculiar features
of the incident is that the barn was
not fired. The bolt evidently passed
through a section of the building,
Which was filled with material of in
flammable nature.
pegs against stable walls, were al
most entirely burned. The iron and
steel traces were melted and welded
together The leather was twisted,
torn and burned Other harness and
farm equipment hanging near that
particular corner of the building was
torn and scattered over the stable
room.
Stones which would tax the strength
of two men to lift were torn from
the wall and pitched from ten to fif-
teen feet from the building. Those
who saw the building declare that the
damage was slight. Farmers and
residents in that section marvel at
the narrow escape from total des-
truction of the barn.
The barn was struck on Monday
evening about 8 o'clock during per-
haps the most severe electrical storm
that has swept over Frederick county
this season.
Last Wednesday lighting struck in
a wire fence on the farm of Emory G.
Remsburg, near Buckeystown, and
passed through the wire and struck
a valuable hog that was scratching its
back on the fence. The animal was
so badly injured that it was neces-
sary to kill it.
Mr.. Remsburg, who was walking
short distance from the hog when
the lightning struck, was slightly
shocked. When the bolt struck the
fence, he declared he felt as if his
hat was being yanked from his head.
He was not seriously injured, how
eyer.

May Construct six-story Building

If the business of Frederick justi-
fies such a structure the Byerly estate
will put up a six-story Office and
business building on the site of the
old building, the front of which col
lapsed several weeks ago during re-
modelling work. But according to the
plans and specifications issued yes
terday by the architects, Kepner &
Smith, the building will be three
story structure, with walls and roof
that will warrant the construction of
an additional three stories. 1t is
known that the owners of the build
ing site would now give orders to eX-
tend the structure to six stories pro-
viding there were sufficient demands
for such a building in Frederick
The structure to be rushed to COM
pletion as rapidly as possible, will be
of Greendale brick, cement and steel.
The structure will be made as near
iireproof as possible. The roof is to
be made of Stag.
The plans in the architects offices
show that the structure is to be the
most modern thing in the line of busi-
ness buildings. Monstrous steel grid
ers will extend from one wall to the
other, providing a floor space on all
three floors entirely free of support
ing columns or pillars. The second
floor will be left entirely free of di-
visions and will be completed accord
ing to the wishes of the tenant.
The steel beam over the first floor
will weight about 10000 pounds,
which is perhaps one of the heaviest
girders to be used in this city in a
structure of this character in recent
years. All roof drainage will run
through wrought iron pipes that ex-
tend through the interior of the build
ing. This will eliminate freezing of
drain pipes and surface water.
The entire front of the building will
be laid in rough Greendale brick of
grayish color. There will be wide
and deep joints. There will be four
projecting pilasters in the front sep
arating three panels. The side panels
will contain one window to the floor,
the center three windows, capped with
white stone. A semi-circular arch
will cap each panel. The arch over
the center panel will be quite large
affair, and will be capped with a cen
trail figure of cut stone, bearing the
inscription, "Byerly Building, 1915"
There will be ornamental brickwork
in each of the panels.
Entrance to the various upper stor-
les will be made on the south side of
the first floor. Entrance to the first
floor will be made through the center
of the building. Two spacious and
large windows, level with the pave
ment, will be constructed on either
side of the door.
The third floor which will be occu-
pied by the Byerly studios will con-
tain the latest in this line of equip
ment. My Byerly is now inspecting
furnishings and designs for his stud
los. The ceilings of the first floor will
be Is feet. Hahn & Betson are the
contractors

Farmers to Hold Picnic.

A monster union farmers picnic,
to rival anything of its kind ever held
in Frederick county, is being planned
by the Frederick County Farmers As
sociation. The movement, which is
to include all farmers organizations
of the county, was started on Satur-
day afternoon at the regular meeting
of the association, in the Frederick Y.
NJ. c. A. auditorium. Although nothing
definite was done relative to the time
this mammoth picnic, the affair prob
ably will be held some time during
August, at a place to be fixed jointly
by the various associations of the
county.
The following committee represent
ing various organizations, was ap-
pointed by President David G. Zentz:
Walter England, of the Urbana club;
Jesse p. King, of the Mt, Airy club;
Lewis F. Kefauver, of the Middletown
club; President David G. Zentz, of
Thurmont club, and Emory G. Rems-
berg, of the Jefferson Grange.
The Jefferson Grange, one of the
most healthy independent district or
ganizations of the county which has
been holding annual picnics will unite
with the county association. Mr..
Remsberg declared that the members
of the grange would be perfectly will
ing to have large picnic, which would
draw farmers from all sections of
Frederick county.
Speakers of national fame will be
invited to come to Frederick county
for the picnic. Nothing definite has
been done relative to the arrangement
of program for this picnic.

No SU B MARINE
NEAR HESPER|AN,
SAYS GER MANY
Qualified Disclaimer of Response.
bility for Sinking Liner De-
livered to United States
Ambassador.

Berlin. Sept. H. via London.-The Ger
man government in note from the
foreign office to Ambassador Gerard, de-
livered at noon to-day. made a qualified
disclaimer of responsibility for the sink
ing Of the steamship Hesperian. On the
face of the evidence thus far at hand
the government is satisfied that tho Hes
perian was not sunk by a German sub
marine.
The German position as semi-officially
stated, follows:
"As We are informed from n competent
source. the news already received taken
In connection with facts officially known.
seems to exclude almost absolutely the
possibility that German submarine
could under any circumstances have been
concerned in sinking the British pas
senger steamer Hesperian.
Firstly. according to the prearrangcl
distribution, no German submarine should
have been on September in that part
Of the ocean In which the Tesperiau
sank
Furthermore, the explosion. according
to descriptions received from British
sources. was of such n nature as to in
dictate from its effects that 1t was rather
of a mine than OF torpedo
THE circumstances that, according to
these descriptions. the vessel was struck
near the bow and that the bow COM
partments filled with water, goes to con-
firm this assumption"
The note contains. in addition to the
statements thus made semi officially. q
paragraph to the effect that all the sub
marines that We're at sea on September 4
have not yet returned. but that there
is no reason to expect that the reports
which they wills supply will change the
situation.
The note Is n Smple recital of the
facts as the German government sees
them without any expression of senti-
ment or comment on the German sub
marine policy.
1t is believed here that the Hespcr-
ian note will go far towards removing
one factor of possible tension in the
German American negotiations regard
ing submarine warfare In this note
the German government indicates two
reasons for its faith that the Hespcr-
ian was not torpedoed. Other reasons
even stronger. exist. to which it is diff
ficult to refer, owing to the limita-
lions imposed lH the censorship. Atten-
ton Is given to the doubtfulness OF
similar incidents occurring again.
The political leaders Of Germany eX-
press themselves as confident that the
possibility for future error or accident
with respect to the sinking Of liners
without warning has been mnimized
They hope that the Arabic case may
be settled on the basis Of Germany's
offer to refer the question OF repara-
ton to The Hague and that the diff
ficulties with the United States over
the submarine question If they still ex.
list may be eliminated by reason of the
instructions issued to submarine com
manders. which are In clear, well-de
| fined form.
