Swift Conflagration on the Munici pal Farm Destroys Property Worth $5,000 All Coverc J by Insurance A sudden, and disastrous fire occurred esterday afternoon shortly after two o'clock at the city's farm, just south of Raleigh, and the large bam and stables, the crib, a quantity of feed, numerous vehicles and: one horse were consumed by the flames. fThe loss is roughly estimated at $5.00). All the property was fully. Insured. The flames were discovered shortly liter the dinner hour. The -street cleaning force had fed the horses, hitcher wagons and returned to the city. Health Officer T. P. Sale, as usual, was at the farm when . the teams came in at noon and gave his Drders for the afternoon work. He eft about 1:30 and had hardly reach ed his home on Saunders street before a 'phone message announced that the building were afire. r Mr. R. B. Bunn lives in the' cottage on the farm and; looks after the place. He was at work a short distance from the house' when a laborer with him saw smoke rising in-great volume from the large building, a combination stable and barn with sheds on either side for vehicles. He rushed to the ipot and brought out two of the three lorses left there as quickly ; as he could. He went in for the third horse but before he could get out a whirl wind of smoke .engulfed them, the mimal was swept off his feef and'Mr. 3unn had to escape for his life. The vrse was burned to death. This building was 34x100 feet with 16 Joot sheds on the two sides., It con tained about 40 tons of stover and oats iu the loft. The vehicles destroyed ircliuled the new street sweeper, a . shreader, a corn harvester, a hay press, a mower, a one-horse wagon, a two-horse wagon, a buggy, a buck board and farm machinery and tools. The fire leaped to the crib, 18x40 feet, which contained between 75 and 100 barrels of corn, and it was burn- ?d Fortunately much of the crop on the farm has not been gathered, so the year's work was not swept away hi the devastation. The wind was not from the west and this saved the cot tage from sharing the same fate as the barn. How the fire originated is not known. There are two theories: one that 'it :,as due to spontaneous combustion Kince some pea vines had. just been placed in the loft, and the other theory is that some ,of the hands droppeda match or fire from a pipe or cigar ? hilo there at noon. The flames seem ftl to come first fr'Om the feed room 'at the southeast corner of the barn. The fire made a-1 great sraokje and many persons down town supposed that the Mills' factory was burning. Some ope turned in an alarm and the companies responded, but the farm is, beyond the corporate limits and they could do no good. The Rescue wagon ivent to the place, but, the men could nly watch the flames complete then Instructive work. In a small building near the farm a, quantity of powder and dynamite for the use of the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound Railroad is stored and it was feared at one time that this would ignite and a terrific explosion would follow. The building, however, esV ciiped. The city's loss is fully covered by insurance. This insurance was dis tributed as follows: Virginia Fire and Marine, --$3,000 on buildings and live stock (including in this is the building which was not burned); North Caro . line Home, $2,000, distributed as above. Besides thi3 Insurance there was $1.C00 on the corn crib with the Sun Insur ance Company of London, and $1,000 - ort the live stock with the North CaroT lina Home..- The total insurance is $7,000.

Joyner Statement as to North Carolina Share The report of Hon. J. T. Joyner. state superintendent of public instruction, as to the Peabody fund coming into his . hands from October 1, 1904, to Septem ber 30, 1903, was sent to Dr. Samuel A. i Green, agent of the Peabody fund, Boston, Mass., yesterday. It shows tiiat there was on hand for pi'blic schools on October 1, $450 and checks for the following - purposes were re ceived during the year: For public schools ... .....$2,000.00 For colored normal schools.... 1,600,00 For Greensboro Normal and - Industrial College ..... . . . . . l.Woo For summer" training schools.. 2;000.00 Judge Thomas R. Purnell of the United States court, in an opinion de livered yesterday, made a ruling that a bankrupt is not entitled to a home stead in lands lying outside of .the state. The ruling is in the case of D. A. Owens, bankrupt, argued before the judge some' time ago by R. A. Nunn for the creditors and Ernest M Green for the bankrupt. - Owens became a bankrupt in New Bern and in the schedule of assets was a tract of land in Maryland and in this the bankrupt asked that he have . a homestead allotted. This the trustee in bankruptcy refused to do, and the counsel for the bankrupt appealed to the referee, who allowed the allot ment. It is this appeal that Judge Purnell passed on, deciding that there can be no homestead allotted in an other state, thereby sustaining the de cision of the trustee as against that of the referee. The following is a sig nificant concluding paragraph of the lengthy and able opinion of Judge. Pur nell: "The case at bar concerns real-estate lying within another jurisdiction, and while all of the property of the bank rupt is vested in the trustee (section 70, In re Engle, 105 F. R., S93), under the act of congress, to take charge of it or subject it to sale, 'reduce to money the property of the estate,' as required by section 47, sub-section 2, act of 1898,' it would be necessary for the trustees to commence ancillary proceedings in the jurisdiction where the property lies. As intimated, there is great doubt whether the bankrupt would be entitled to a homestead ex emption to property Vyin beyond the state without occupancy and having his domicile J n North Carolina under the bankrupt, not and his rasidence in North CaroHna vnd?r th? stote consti tution, it is dinicult to see how he can occupy this land in the state of Mary land, though it may be so. If the bankrupt hs the mind to return to Maryland, does-not combine with resi dence in this district, the intention of removing he has no domicile in this district or state and could not claim a North Carolina, homestead under the section of the 1 inkruptcy act invoked, the law of the domicile. If he does in tend tc remain he cannot 'occupy' the land In Maryland, and one of the es sential? under the law of his domicile is lacking. The land is not exempt under the constitution ,of North Caro lina. In the opinion of the court for the reasons stated this court has no jurisdiction to allot a' homestead ex emption in lands lying in Maryland, and under the laws of .North Carolina, eve nif the court had jurisdiction, the bankrupt is hot entitled to such ex emption. . "It is therefore considered and de creed that the referee be reversed and his order to the trustee overruled. The trustee in this case Was correct in his construction of, and the referee was mistaken as to the law."
