In the insurance column the blanks denote
that there was either 10 insurance or none ID
stated.
Additional to the above are seventy-tw other
fires where the losses are not set down at any
figure, but are simply said to be triflng. Hence
the chief engineer, in his recaptulntion, sets
down the aggregate Of loss for the year at $685.
5l0., and the insurance at 1928, 900 The differ
ence between these amounts and the totals of
the columns printed above are, we presume the
extent of these trihing losses and insurances.
Thirty false alarms were sounded during the
year. or the fires reported above, sixteen were
OF ncendiary origin and ten accidental. The
heaviest loss of the year was that sustained
by Jones Guthrie in the burning of
his carriage works on November 29th which
he sets down at 100000. The next heaviest
loss is that incurred by John Cook in the burn
ing of seven houses on Spruce St, between 7th
and Sth, on August 18th.
The Chief Engineer. in his report, makes sew

water mains (now being laid); fire alarm tele-

THE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE WILMINGTON &
WESTERN FAVORABLE FEELING ALONG THE
ROUTE.
The proposed extension of the Wilmington Il
Western Railroad to Oxford has been frequently
discussed in tho CoMMERcIAL and now presents
no new features except the important fact that
there seems to be = revived interest amongst
the people along tho route from Landenberg to
the Big Elk creek, q distance OF about seven
miles. Ii is believed that ii stock subscriptions
enough can be obtained along this line, to grade
and bridge these seven inles, means can be
found to procure and lay the necessary rails and
ties. This extension would develop good
freghtiug bu-neaa from q number of saw, grlst,
aud paper mills, on White Clay and Big Elk, and
also open n very line and highly improv-
ed agricultural section. whose people
formerly to Wilmington market,
and made all their purchases here,
but who now go by the Baltimore Central rail-
road to Philadelphia. The farms are largely de.
voted to dairy products, and there is an extern
sive and growing attention TO all kinds of fruits.
A large quantity OF hay ls baled and shipped to
| ruarl;t by rsll.
| The Wilmington 4 Western Company have
ample legislative authority from the State OF
| Pennsvlvania to build this extension, and 1t
| could be operated with the same rolling-stock
and force of employees, at a very small increase
| OF cost. 1t would, no doubt, add materially to
| the passenger travel, as well az the frechtlng,
| OF the present road and the great advantage
| from both wonld he that they would he carried
| over tho whole of the present read, and not
merely over the extension.
| Several OF the Directors of the w " W. yes
terday rode over the line of the proposed extern
| sion and had very cordial and friendly confer
enca with number of those interested. What
may result from 1t remains to be hereafter seen,
| but it now appears quite certain that strong
effort will be made to procure the necessary
subscription of stock to grade and bridge. II
this be accomplished, We think the extension
will be built. The .ine surveyed for II shows an

this, in the phase in which it is presented, is
resolved chiefly into question of law-"What
