LOSS BY FIRE
Dwelling And Contents AT
PrinciniO Burned

The large double frame dwell
ling at Principle, occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Gather
and Harry Price and family,
and owned by Mr.. Gather, was
totally destroyed by fire on
Thursday afternoon of last
week, together with almost all
of it's contents.
Mr.. mad Mrs. Gather both
we're away at the time, and lost
almost all of their personal eff
Ifects, including the household
goods, clothing, etc.
The fire was discovered by
Mrs. Price, who was alone in
her part of the dwelling at the
time, with her few months old
baby. 1t had evidently gained
much Roadway before it's dis
covery, as by the time the
alarm was given and Commu-
nifty Fire Company of this town
had reached the scene with ap-
paratus, the dwelling was
doomed.
The firemen soon had two
streams of water in play, with
the engine pumping from the
nearby creek, and saved the
dwelling of Mrs. H. E. Price,
directly opposite across the
road, the roof of which was on
fire two or three different
times, but the fight to save the
Gather dwelling was in vain.
Most of the household effects
of the family of Mr.. Price were
carried out in safety, but Mr..
and Mrs. Gather lost practical
ly everything.
A sum of money in a bureau,
that stood by a window on the
second floor, was saved. The
firemen played a stream of
water about the bureau, beat
ing the fire back, while Joseph
Touchton, a member of the
company, climbed in the win
dow, pulled out the drawer
containing the money, and
brought drawer and contents
safely down the ladder. This
and two Or three pieces of
furniture is all that was saved
from the portion of the dwell
ing occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Gather.
The fire appeared to have
started on the first floor of the
dwelling, but the cause of it's
origin is not known.
The loss is estimated at
about $4,000, with an insurance
of but $4,000 of dwelling and
contents.

RICHARDS HOSPITAL TO
CLOSE
Port Deposit Surgeon To Dis
continue Practice On Ac.
count OF Condition
OF His Health

The news that DIR. G. Hamp-
ton Richards will close his pri-
vate hospital at Port Deposit,
is received with regret, as the
institution has proven a haven
where many sufferers have
found relief through the min
istration of his surgical and
medical skill, and the care of
an efficient corps and nurses.
The hospital, it is under
stood, will close on August 1,
and DR.. Richards leave for an
extended vacation in the New
England States, for the benefit
of his health.
Last November, DR.. Richards
suffered an attack of angina
pectoris and was in a serious
condition for weeks. In the
manner characteristic of him
self, DR.. Richards, after a short
rest, resumed his work, even
performing large number of
operations and risking a Sec
ond attack for the benefit of
the health of the community.
1t is hoped some way may be
found to keep the hospital
open. The building houses %
beds at present, and this
capacity can be increased to 35
without crowding or causing
any extra Inconvenience. 1t is
electrically equipped in the
most modern manner through
out, X-rays and other up-to-
date appliances being included.
