Little Damage.

The alarm OF fire at . o'clock this
morning was caused by a small fire in
the garret Of John Haggarty's house at
No. 4l5 Orange street. The building
is small frame structure, and would
have burned radidly if the ire had
gained any headway.
The IRE department promptly re-
sponded, and in tsw minutes the con
migration was under control. The
damage done will not amount to more
than forty or fifty dollars at the out.

badly burned and the contents of the
garret and second story was almost
ruined.
1t is thought that the fire was com
munisated frem the blacksmith shop OF

A Georgetown Y0Mngster SeeIBs
tine World.
A boy Of fifteen years, who said his
name was Samuel Donsldson, Jr., and
that his home was in Georgetown, D. G.,
with his father Samuel Donaldson, ST.,
applied at the police station Saturday
night for lodging. TO Chief of Police
Maxwell he told this story:
He had been entioed away from home
by tramps and locked up in a railroad
freight car. A. Wilmington he had
been released. He now wanted to re-
turn home. The lad was allowed to
remain over night, and Chief Maxwell
communicated with the father in
Georgetown by telegraph. Finally an
answer came from the father stating
that description which had been pre-
viously sent cOrresponded with that of
his lad, and that money would b. sent
to. morrow to bring him home.
Meanwhile the lad told several ditsr-
ant stories, one of which was that4he
had been living with sister of his
named Tillie Smith, at No. 354 South
Seventh aVsnus, Browntown. This lady
put in an appearance last night and
claimed the boy, saving that she had
brought him from Georgetown three
weeks ago, and that hs had been living
With her until Saturday night when he
vent out and had not returned.
A dispatch was at once sent TO Mr..
Donaldson asking him II Mrs. Smith
vas to have possession. Before an au.
wer came she was allowed to take the
10Y. Later dispatch came from the
ather as follows: "The child is mine;
end him TO me tomorrow" A con-
est for possession of the lad bstwesn
sther and daughter Ia now expected.
