UsoteW 1<Vpo *SOsVVV.
This morning between twelve and
one o'clock bright light lit up the
western sky, the alarm was sounded,
and the respective fire companies start.
ed in the direction Of the fire, but upon
reaching the city limits, and finding
that the fire was several miles in the
country they returned back.
This morning from persons from the
vicinity we learned that the bright
light was occasioned by the burning Of
the spice mills at Brandywine Springs,
formerly the property Of c. J. Fell &
Co., but now held by the Philadelphia
Trust, Safe Deposit and Insurance Com.
pany, Trustees for the heirs of Frank
lin Fell, deceased. When the fire was
discovered by one Of the head millers,
the large mill was about two thirds en-
vsloped in flames.
The alarm was given, and the occu-
pants Of double dwelling house located
about $50 feet from the burning build
ing escaped saving the most Of their
effects, but afterwards the dwelling
caught fire and with the mill and its
contents was totally consumed. The
grist and Touring mill about 100 feet up
the race from the large mill, and occu-
pied by the Mecannon Brothers was
saved.
The spice mill was occupied and run
by A. NJ. Pnrvis & Co., 1913 South
Front street, Philadelphia, who are
said to have had a large stock on hand,
but to what amount we have not been
able TO ascertain. The loss of the
mill and machinery is estimated at
$50, 900 and other losses 1t is supposed
will increase that amount to $75, 200.
The same mill was entirely consumed
in 1873 and rebuilt in 1875.
There is no settled theory as to the
cause Of the fire as the mills were not
in operation at night and the fires had
all been carefully extinguished the
evening before. The general supposi-
tion is that it was the work Of an incen-
diary.
The following are the insurances ef-
tect.d on the mill machinery y and stock,
through the insurance agency of Wool
ley 4 vanTrump, Of this city:
Delaware, of Wilmington, Del. $l,-

Mcleod, for whom the girls had sin

dismissal the school remained few
minutes longer than usual to sing to US
sweetly abont the days of our childhood

These sweet plantivs airs c-lled up
Of the past in our lives

all we wish in commendstion Of the

the great profusion Of black boards In

We would also not forget the success.

In the qualifications Of a teacher, but
we do say that any persons who love flow

things we would like TO unite about,

The Storm at the Light House

The storm at the Light House at the
mouth of the creek was the most sever
ever known. The water was so high
that it came into the dwelling at the
second story window and all the out
buildings around the place were swept
away except wood shed. The keeper
of the Light House lost over one hun
dred chickens and several pigs, but
his horse and COW saved their lives by
striking for fast land before the waters
got high. During the storm sloop
parted her chain at Pennsgrove and
came drifting over TO the Light House
in helpless condition. Captain Kelly
the owner and his sons wife with her
chi Id about two years ofage were aboard
of the sloop exposed to the pitiless
beating OF the storm and the waves
which washed over them. The woman
and her child were almost perished
when they were rescued by the kind
hearted keeper Of the Light House and
his family, and were taken in and
cared for.
