Nurse Dies Far From Home.

Miss Mary A. c. Doan, a trained
nurse of Handley, Indiana, who has
recently been engaged in social service
work in Philadelphia, died in the hos
piatl in Charles Town last Monday
She had lost her memory and her
friends had been anxious as to her
whereabouts for some days. She was
81 years old
Miss Doan, it appears, had been in
poor health for some time and was
subject to attacks brought on by kid
ney trouble. She left Philadelphia on
Baltimore & Ohio train last Satur-
day. When the train reached Harper's
Ferry, not knowing what she was do
ing, she alighted and sought a phys
ician, saying that she was sick and
exhausted. She was taken to the hos
pital in Charles Town, suffering from
acute nephritis, and died there early
Monday morning.
In Harper's Ferry Miss Doan found
an Episcopal minister, with whom she
talked freely and fully of her school
experience, though she explained that
she had partly lost her memory. She
said she was a graduate Of Bryn Mawr
College, at Bryn Mawr, Pa, gradu-
ate nurse and had been doing social
work, and also gave her age. But
she could not recall the name of her
sister, did not know where she had in
tended to go and could not recall why

barn and its contents, a silo. and a
covshed on the old Marshall farm
northwest Of Shepherdstovn near the
Shepherd Grade, now owned and farm

u soon gained Roadway and nothing
eou'a De done TO save the burning
structures. Thomas Turner. who lives
near the Jones' place, vas the first

ateiy ran to the Jones' farm. and in

lected, but were powerless to put out
the blaze. The farming implements.
however, were all removed before the
roof OF the barn fell in, one corn plant
er only being destroyed. There we're
no horses in the barn at the time Of
the lire, and the only animal burned
was registered Jersey calf. The en-
tire crop Of wheat, unthreshed, was
burned, together with 20 tons of hay
and the yield of 20 acres Of barley
and rye together. II is thought that
spontaneous combustion was the cause
OF the FIRE. The blaze began in the

which was piled high in the top OF the
barn. The loss Of the crops and the
buildings is heavy one, and there

that was lost. The smoke of The fire
was plainly visible from Shepherds

crowd of persons attending the ball
game as TO where the fire was, as the

clouds out of the northwest
The total loss to Messrs. Jones will
amount to near $1,000, to say nothing
OF the futher loss and inconvenience
OF being deprived OF shelter for their
live stock and all the provender laid
up for the coming winter. They
have been extensively engaged in
dairying, and their misfortune will
be felt all the more on this account
Their friends sympathize with them
in their unfortunate loss.
