Colt- man At Eccleston Wrecked; Owner On European Trip. Eccleston, in the Green Spring Valley, this county, was the scene of great excitement on Monday evening when the handsome residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. E. Cottman was wrecked by flames. The house at the time was occupied by servants, the owners being in Europe. Nearly all of the furniture -was saved by residents, who flocked to the house and removed it before the arrival of the fire companies. Today only the crumbled walls of what was one of the county's "show places" remain. It ial said the building was purchased in 1918 at a cost of $91,000. The origin of the fire, which started on the third floor near the roof, could not be definitely determined. One theory was that crossed electric wires1 were to blame. Some of those on the scene early thought it possible that the house was struck by lightning during the sttorm of Sunday, which was severe in that section, and that the fire smouldered unnoticed until Monday, j It was about 5.30 o'clock Monday evening when Julia Wyatt, the cook, went to the servants' quarters on the third floor and found her room full of smoke. She ran screaming through the house and spread the alarm. John Horsey, the butler, attempted to reach the Pikesville engine company, but found the phone out of order, and Harrison Diggs, Mr. Cott-man's chauffeur, was dispatched by automobile to the engine house. The firefighters encountered great difficulty in getting water to the flames. The house stood on a commanding knoll between the old Chat-tolanee Hotel property and the Shoemaker estate, from which two points the firemen were obliged to force their streams. The Pikesville company attempted to force a stream from the Chattolanee springs!, which are 2,500 feet from the Cottman residence, ' and several hundred feet below it, but found their engine unequal to the task. It was not until the arrival of the Towson company, -which paired with the Pikesville company, that an adequate stream reached the house. This was 7.30 o'clock, nearly two hours after the fire was discovered. By that time the entire housie was wrapped in fl.ames. After it was seen that the task would be a long one, the wives and daughters of some of the volunteers organized a refreshment brigade, and emptied the larders of neighboring homes to serve sandwiches and ice water to the workers. The burned house contained 16-rooms and 3 large reception halls. At the time it was acquired by Mr. Cottman nine years ago, it was remodeled throughout at a cost said to have been $50,000. Its construction -was of stone, with slate roof. The location is, near Eccleston Station, on the Green Spring Branch of the Northern Central Railway. The estate comprises 34 acres. BECKLEYSVILLE. Mrs. Alvin Strevig and son visited Miss Leonica Frank on Tuesday evening. Children's Services will be held here tomorrow evening at 7.45 o'clock.
