A DISASTROUS BLAZE.
Large Barn op the Farm of the Late Sen,
Hustings Destroyed
As a result of celebrating the Fourth
the large barn and eutbuildings on the
farm owned by the late General Hast-
ings located one and one-half "miles
south of Axe Mann and along the
Bellefonte and Lewistown turnpike
caught fire and was totally destroyed,
says the Daily News.
The farm is occupled by Elmer
Swartz and during the afternoon his
little son Harry was celebrating the
Fourth in the usual manner by firing
fire crackers. The fire umdoubtedly
originated frem these firs coackers. It
started obout 1.15 o'clock and spread
with great rapidity. All the buildings
were consumed except the house and
two outbuildings. HK. KE. Swartz, the
farmer, lost 6 horses, 1 colt, 3 calves
and all his wagons, nearly all his har~
ness, graiy, feed, ete. In attempting
to rescue the horses, Mr. Bwartz was
severely burned about the face, hands
and arms,
The total loss will be about $5,000,
partially covered by insurance. Mr.
Swartz is insured in the Patrons In-
surance Company through the agency
of William H. Miller, of Axe Mann.
The barn and outbuildings had just
been overhauled and refitted in mag-
pificent style by the late Gen. Hast
ings and was one of the finest farm
properties in Centre county. The loss
is quite a severe one both to the Hast-
ings estate and Mr, Bwartz,

pend its force along the mountain do-
ing considerable damage to buildings
and fences. A number of shade and
ornamental trees were uprooted on
Penn street and one of the large wil-
low trees along the mill race was
broken off and hung on another tree
in such a manner that it threatened to
fall on and crush the dwelling house
of D. W, Zeigler. After the storma
number of men, with ropes, pulled
the tree down.

like. In consequence of this wages
have advanced in some quarters, but
this fact has added few laborers to the
