Barn Destroyed at National Junior Republic Saturday. A destructive fire visitéd the National Juntor“Republic. near Annapolis Junction, Saturday evening about 5 o'clock. The fire started in the barn and rapidly spread to @ building used as a jail by the republic, and in a remarkably short time both strue- tures were an entire loss, Most of the farm implements were stored in the barn at the time, and but few things were saved from the flames. Happily the live stock was gotten out shortly after tne alarm was given. Practically the entire contents of the jail were destroyed, including sev- eral cots in the sieeping quarters. Owing to the high wind prevailing at the time, but one trip could be made into the burn- ing buildings and but ttle was saved, and only through the most determined efforts of the superintendent and his assistant and the hard work of the boys was a bad con- flagration averted. The pss on the burned butidings has not yet been computed. The destruction of the sleeping quarters necessitates the using of the carpenter shop as a temporary dormi- tory. Earlier in the day a meeting of the execu- tive committee had been held at the re- public. All the returns from the concert held in this city for the benefit of the republic are not yet in, but about $300 has already been received. aes Called It a Prayer Meeting.
