FIRE DESTROYS BANK BARN Children With Matches Supposed to Have Caused the Conflagration--Horse Perished in the Flames. It is thought that children playing with matches around the small bank barn of Solomon Beltz, about two miles south-west of Upper Strasburg Wednesday evening, set fire to the structure which was completely destroyed together with a valuable horse, hog pen and chicken house. The children had been seen in the building about a half hour previous to the fire which occurred about five o'clock. Mr. Beltz had gone out to a field for his cows short time before the flames were discovered and when he reached the building it was doomed to destruction and he was unable to save anything of its contents.

The fire soon spread to the hog pen and then to a chicken house. With the barn were burned six loads of hay and a valuable horse and farming implements. Mrs. Beltz was alone with the children and she was so badly frightened that she was unable to make any effort to release the imprisoned horse. There was no insurance on the property.

Mr. Beltz is an honest, hard working man and has the sympathy of the people of his community. EXCITING RUNAWAY. Young Lady Jumps From Hay Rake and Escapes Injuries. While working in a hay field at her home in Amberson valley, Miss Annie Hazlett made a remarkable escape from serious injury.

She was driving a colt in a bay rake when the strap holding the bit broke, leaving the bit drop from the animal's mouth. Becoming frightened, he immediately started to run, Miss Hazlett jumping from the seat of the hay rake. The colt, with hay rake attached, jumped a fence, breaking down seven panels and became entangled. The colt was finally caught, after making a desperate effort to release himself from the broken fence. RECORD OF WEDDINGS.

LOOSE CAR RUNS SEVEN MILES ON W.

M. R. R. Mad Career From Grindstone Hill to Chambersburg- Kills a Dog. A car loaded with sand passed over the Western Maryland railroad between the Min Istone Hill cut and Siloam station, north of town, Friday morning.

It was not attached to an engine or any other machine which would draw it forward. It wag alone and had escaped from the trainmen while shifting at Guilford station. For seven miles this runaway car pursued its mad career up grade and down until it reached the stiff incline at Siloam, where it stopped and then ran backwards towards town, and coming to a standstill at the old pump house. Considering the number of trains that pass over that section of the road in the morning it seems remarkable that the "runaway" did not collide with either a passenger or freight train, thus causing a bad accident. The only mishap that 00- curred while the car was on its, flying trip was that of the beheading of Captain Pisle's faithful rat-catching canine "Snoozer." was lying between the rails just in front of the passenger station here and when his master observed the car coming over the bridge he called to his dog, but in an instant the car shot by and "Snoozer" was no more.

It was a close call for the 6:11 passenger train which had reached Zumbro (where the cut-off track meets the old line) a little time before the runaway reached that point by way of the out-off. The car continued towards Chambersburg and when it reached the west side of the overhead trestle it gathered up a wonderful momentam and by the time Water street was reached it was humming through that thoroughfare at a rapid pace. With no warning of its approach it is to be considered a very lucky thing that someone or team was not run down. At King street a team had gotten over the track but five feet when the car sped by. POLITICAL NOTES.

The summer time is the golden opportunity for the girl troubled with pimples and comedones. The torrid heat offers an efficacions substitute for the Turkish or Russian bath. The healty streams of perspiration with which Dame Nature strives to eradicate these facial blemishes should never be dammed by the opposing powder rag. Rather encourage the very friendly drop which adds its tiny share in promoting the health and purity of the complexion. I am reminded here of a young girl who has happily been cured of some very disAguring pimples of the chronic type which physicians had prescribed for in vain.

one intolerably hot day she tried to catch a nap in the attic where the temperature equaled the hot 100m of the Turkish baths. A member of the family called her to come down to cooler quarters. "Oh, no, mamma," she replied, "this is part of the am told that I must perspire!" and she resolutoly turned a deaf ear to all expostulation.

Horace McFarland, writing in the World's Work of the trials and satisfactions of the printer in tions with authors tells this "A veteran editor--a man of wide experience in journalism and politics -sent a book to my office on one of the great natural products of the Keystone state. Being an editor, he could see no use whatever in writing copy days a head of its use, and so this book followed the pen very closely, He was delighted to find a corner in the proofroom where he might work, and whence his awful manuscript went quickly to the compositors. His script was awful, for he frequently balked at it himself when called upon by a despairing compositor. He reminded me of an experience of my own typesetting days, when an editorial writer on an inland city daily was confidently believed to originate new and wonderful alphabetical signs every day. Once I took him a par ticularly "blind" page of his own, and, after puzzling profanely over an undecipherable phrase, he ejaculated, "D--- the man who writes like while he rewrote his own phrase."
