NOies From MadIl

The Weccacoe and Reliance engines,
together with the Washington, Fame,
Delaware and Reliance hose carriages,
did effective service a. the fire yester-
day. The Reliance engine supplied
the Weccacoe steamer with water
through 1850 feet of hose, which is con-
sidered big thing. The Weccacoe
was cor manded by Ezra Lukens and
John T. McDermott. 1t is thought
that all the business men who were
burnt out will resume business as soon
as possible. New buildings will be
erected and ere long all vestiges of the
fire will be gone. The special train
yesterday was drawn by engine No. 53,
j. Eeeder, engineer, and made good
time both going down and returning
home.
The man Covle who fell off the Ca
boose OF the sp cal train, was not so
badly injured aS at first supposed, and
was out last night,

UndererOuud d Wires.

A special committee of the New Yorh
Legislature, which has made thorough
investigation Of the subject, has made
a report urging that all telegraph polei
be removed from the cities of thai
State, and that the companies be
compelled to put all their wires under
ground.
The report takes the ground that
these obstrucions are PERMITTED in nc
country except the United States, and
the committee questions wheather any
authority can be cited for their ap.
pearance, the only law in New York
allowing their construction explicit y
providing that they shall be no incon-
venienCe.
Over twenty experts testified before
the committee, and all agreed in the
opinion that it is entirely feasible to
direct that teleeraphic appliances be
put under ground. The committee
present an experimental bill, limited in
its operations to New York city, and
predict that in case OF its adoption
that municipality will be relieved of
these obstructi, MS and the new system
will be an accomplished fact by Janu.

Frau Il ON the BRIDES,

Nearly every bridal party that goes
to Washington-and Washington is the
national Mecca-visits the Treasury
vaults. The young and interesting cou.
pie want to closely inspect Uncle Sam &
plentiful shekles When they enter the
vault the man in charge Of it, attur a
few preliminary words of explain alto n,
hands down a package of notes from a
shelf, tells the bride to take it in her
hands. He then explains that this
package contains $40, 900, 900 in U. S
Treasury notes. The young lady i, de-
lighted to be able to 60 away and say
that she had so much money in her
own hands. They are further told the
notes are of the denominations of $10,-
600.
This constitutes what is known as the
" Bridal Package" But it is little
fraud on the young people. The Treas
ury there does not hold that amount of
money. The bulk of the money is in the
sub treasury az New York. That L"
Bridal Package "is gay deceiver. 1t
does contain, however, notes of the de-
nomination of $40, 600 which would, in
the aggregate, represent $40. 900, 900, if
they were only signed. But they are
worth no more, in reality, than the
paper on which they are printed, being
minus the necessary signature.

The Open Camp Fire.

The committee on the Open Camp
Fire of Smyth Post, No. /, G. A. r..
which will take place at the Opera
House next Monday evening have
about completed their arrangements,
and will present one of the best enter.
tainments ever given in this city.
ITO attain this end, they have spared
neither labor or expense, and have been
successful in securing the services OF
James A. Tanner, the soldier who left
his legs on one Of the Southern
battle fields, but who is ono of the best
orators in this country, and Miss Laura
Bigger, the Wilmington favorite; little
Ada Jones, the charming vocalist from
Philadelphia, Prof Ford the talented
elocutionist and a host of other talent.
As the admission is only 10 cents, or
25 cents for q reserved seat, it is ex-
tremely doubtful if tbs Opera House
will hold the people. The number of
tickets will be limited to the capacity
of the house and al who wish to be
sure of seats should secure them. The
box sheet will open at Thomas q Co.'S.
on next Friday.

dents" might easily be prevented. We

lieb, a brakeman on the Erie road,
