the ground and we're soon followed by
the others.
1t seems that in the afternoon the
structure was in danger of fire from a
detective chimney which ignited and as
1t appears now was not altogether ex.
tinguished. The building was occupied
by Mrs. Long and Mrs. Forrest and her
daughter. Tho two occupants went ia

upon the roof above.
In the night about eleven O'Clock
Mrs. Long was awakened by the. cries

be Mr.. John Forrest who was on his
way to work at Jessup's paper Mills
When the lady awoke the fire was
about enveloping her own room and

from Mr.. Forrest she would .ins a few
moments have been suffocated by the

of the building wers awakened, and
the work Of saving the furniture began
All the household effects belonging
to Mrs. Forrest were saved while a .por-
tion OF those belonging to Mrs. Long
were destroyed. A general alarm was
given by the ringing of the chapel bell.
Several Babcock fire extinguishers were
brought into requisition, but without
much effect as the flames had gained
too much headway. The inhabitants
turned out enmasse and assisted ma
terially. Those worthy of especial
mention are John Forrest, Frank Stout,
Richard Brown, Thomas Green, Robert
and Samuel Forrest.
A man named Sullivan, living at forty
acres, in his desire to save the household

smoke and flames. While he was in

from the momentary feeling OF terror
and dismay the by-standers went to
work aDd after much trouble succeeded
in liberating Mr.. Sullivan through a
portion of the building that had not
been reached by the fire.
Tie Wilmington engines arrived on
the ground in quick time and were fol-
lowed by several carriages and cab
containing the fremen. The building
burned nearly to the ground. The fire.

under the water, however, when several

EDITORS OF REPUBLICAN:-I see by

different wards Of the city are bestirins
themselves in this matter OF the selec.
ton of good men az candidates for city
council. This is weif and Is being watch
I'd with mora interest tSan very mary
suppose, as the people 81 Whining. on are
totally sick and tired of being misrep-
resented What they want now are rep
r-sen ative men, men who know some
little of the manner of conducting busi-
ness on strict business principles; do you
suppose that any man or set OF men
doing business in Wilmington would
intrust their interest into the hands of
som- one unacquainted with such re.
latiohs No sir. Their first question
would be, what are his qualifications p
and 80 We want to know and be. assured
sir. The people will endravor to know
this time into whose hands the affairs
of this city are to be- entrusted for the
year TO come, then let us have good
men nominated from our party, candi-
dates that no man can object to; and
such one | want TO say is Lemuel
Mari from the Eighth Ward. Mr.. Hyde
and Mr.. White have both been talked
Of and are good men, but we do think
Mr.. Mari the strongest man yet named,
one who knows how to conduct his
own business as has been proven from
the past (and as your own paper an
nonnced only a few days ago) has
pushed his business in a very few y ears
Fl ON ten c-nt nickel 20 start on and
by strict economy, hard work and close
attention to his business has now fl ne
boot an shoe store on the corner of

his interest is in this ward.

ten by Mis- own Animal.
The streets Of the Northern portion
Of the city were rapidly vacated as the
cry OF 'mad dog" was borne along rails
ed by the appearance Of q black bot
tjl dog that gave every appearances IF
being attacked with the rabies. The
animal started from the lower portion
of the city. 1t was pursued by officers
Jones and Gutchmer followed by q
crowd Of men and boys. The rabid
animal bit two dogs, one of them the
property of DR.. Wales and the other b.
longing in the vicinity Of Third and
Walnut. As far as known the dog sue
ceeded in doing no other injury. In
the search for the animal officer Jones
shot one and dog externinator Hunt
killed some half dozen other CANNES.
These we're running around loose in the
Ninth Ward.
On the same afternoon Mr.. William
Powell, fish merchant in Third street
market, was severely bitten on the fin
ger by his own animal. The dog is a
small black terrier and while out on
Saturday afternoon in the street was
pursued by several parties who, from
the strange actions of the animal,
judged 1t to be mad. The animal ran
direct to Mr.. Powell who picked it up
and put 1t in the ice box, but it appear
ing restless he again let 1t out when it
ran down Third street but soon return
ed. Mr.. Powell again picked the dog
mp and while fondling it the wound
mentioned above was inflicted. The
dng r bled profusely 1t having been
bitten to the hone.
Mr.. Powell dropped the animal and
1t disappeared an ! it is supposed to be
one afterward seen running up Market
St and out in the 9th ward, as the
description answers in every particular.
About II o'clock on Saturday the dog
of Mr.. Powell returned to Mr.. P.'s
residence in South Wilmington. 1t
seemed thirsty and drank heartily of
the water set before 1t, but refused to
touch the food. Early on Sunday
morning Mr.. Powell hearing noise in
the yard got ut and psrceiving the dog
viciolsly chewing at the gate he
thought it discreet to kill the animal
which he did. Mr.. Powelli Is somewhat
alarmed over the bite; but he still ad-
heres to the opinion the dog was not
mad; but was worried at the pursuit
which had been given it.
The reason the animal inflicted the
bits upon him, was through one of the
young men hallooing at the dog while
hs h ad II in his arms. When the dog
heard the cry of this individual, it
tried to squirm from Mr.. Powells arm,
and so persistent were its efforts that
NJ. P. put the animal on its feet and
caught it by the back of the neck.
While dragging it along in this posi-
tion the dog grabbed Mr.. Powell's fin
ger and held on so tightly that it was
lifted from the floor and only lot loose
after it had been vigorously kicked.
The dog Skip" property Of the
Washington Fire Company, was also
bitten by the rabid animal, and is now
chained at the engine house so that it
may be determined to certainty
