FIRE NEAR MADISONBURG, Dostroys the Large Farm Barn on the Harvey H. Miller Farm — Eighteen Head of Oattle Burned, The barn on the farm of Harvey H Miller, three-fourths of a mile east of Madisonburg, was totally destroyed by fire Saturday night. Eighteen head of cattle, which was all the stock in the barn except the horses, were also burned, together with all the grain, hay aod farm implements, Saturday evening Harry Miller, a sou of the owner, and tenant on the Miller farm, together with his wife and small children drove to Madison- burg, and at about nine o'clock re turned to their home. The horse they used on the trip was stabled without the aid of a light of any kind, and shortly thereafter the family retired About 10:30 o'clock Mr. Miller was awakened, and saw a glaring light at the barn, woich upoa further investi gation proved that the whole of the upper part of the barn was afire. Mr, Miller hurried to the barn, and with considerable effort was enabled to ref move his horses from their stalls, but the flames were too far advanced to re lease the stock. Besides the stock, implements, har. ness, ele, burned there were destroyed by the fire about one thousand bushels of corn, seven hundred bushels of wheat, four hundred bushels of oats, lot of hay and straw, Mr. Miller, the owner of the farm, had an insurance of $960 on the baro, in the Centre County Mutual Fire In- surance Company, while the son, the tepant, had $1600 ipsurance in the Annville Fire Insuraues Company. In 1856, the Miller barn was built by Hon, Samuel Frank, of Rebersburg, who at that time ownea the farm. mre t—— Ao Eoglueer's Find Wednesday morning the engineer on the east bound freight train spied two watches, a necklace, photograph of a lady, and several other trinkets, lying at the tool house east of Centre Hall station.
