Almost Fire.-Special off Ger Heri-
tase, while passing Institute Hall be-
tween and o'clock Sunday morning,
discovered fire in the upper store, oc-
cupied by l.. f. Blair, plumber and gas
filter. He immediately aroused Mr..
Watson, the night clerk at Shoemaker's
drug store, and obtained the keys of the
Hall doors. He then entered the hall
way, and entered Blair's store through
the transoine over the back door. He
and Mr. Watson then speedily extin-
guished the fire with buckets of water,
before any damage was occasioned eX
cept the burning of a hole in the floor,
and the charring OF one or two joists.
The fire originated in a box of saw dust,
used as a spittoon, and was caused, it is
supposed, by lighted cigar being thrown
into this box.
Turkies in nd.-Notwithstandin
the great number of turkies brought to
market ON Saturday, the supply was not
equal to the demand, and this morning
not single gobbler was to be found
along King street while few chickens.
geese and ducks formed the entire ponl-
try, supply. People were annxiously
looking for turkies, and at nine o'clock
one dealer said he could readily sell FIVE
hundred If he could only obtain them.
The sales of poultry on Saturday must
have been immense, as one man alone
disposed of 700 pounds of chickens dur
ing the day and did not have half enough
to supply the demand.
Duties of Church o6fcers.-Rev. VIM. P.
Davis preached yesterday at ST. Paufs
NJ. e. Church very interesting sermon on
the duties of the official mem bers OF the
church-stewards, trustees, local preachers,
exhorters, Sabbath school superintendent
and teachers. 1t is seldom that n sermon
| on such q subject can be preached with
such effect. Many were deeply affected by
| the sense of their responsibility and the
fidelity portrayed by the preacher and the
silent tears were seen on many checks. II
| is a pleasure to know that this young min
lister is growing in popularity and by his
wisdom prudence and fidelity Is commend
ing the truth to every mans conscience In
the sight of God.
Funerdl-The funeral of L. H. Warren,
one of the victims of the Quarryville ex-
plosion, took place yesterday, from the
Masonic Temple, under the auspices OF
Washington Lodge, No. 1, A. T. Z A. M
The body was laid out in the parlor,
where services were conducted by Rev,
+. B. DuVal, of the First Presbyterian
Church. The interment took place In
lhe Wilmington & Brandywine Gene
terry, and the body was followed to the
grave by large number of members oi
he fraternity.
This Mornings Market. There was no re-
gular market along King street, this morn.
fog as many people supposed there would
open but the only additional ma, ket wal
| comprised in some dozen or more of per
sons selling cedars, moss and Christmas
everygreens.
