Lewis tho SwrndIer.

A few days ago the REPUBLICAN
had a local account of the mysterious
disapperace Of W. W. Lewis from
Delaware City, where he left q wife and
four children In destitute circumstaces,
but who since his disappearance have
removed to New Castle where they still
reside. Since the publication Of the
local report III the REPUBLICAN the
Philadelphia Record has come across
his tracks and gives the following re-.
port Of him in to days paper. W. W.
Lewis, who fed from Clayton, Della
ware. about six months ago to avoid
being arrested for swindling various
wholesale tobacco firms in this city
and In that State, was registered a
day or two ago at hotel In Denver.
He was formerly travelling sales
man for Charles O. Heisler, wholesale to.
bacco dealer at No. 139 Market street.
He was afterward connected with the
tobacco firms of Barker & Co. and G.
X. Marks, Of this city, and r. E. Smith,
Of Cookesville. He swindled these
firms in large amouts by collecting for
goods sold and making no returns.
SHlth loses, $3.50 in Delaware City, Del
and smaller sums In other places. Lewis
was a prominent member of church
and leader in Sunday school.
While such was the case, he was dis.
sipated and neglected his business for
Sc veral months prior to his abrupt de-
parture. He left behind him q wife
and four small children, who have since
removed to New Castle, Delaware.
Lewis is about SO years old, of medium
height, and free-and-easy style. His
swindling operations have caused much
comment in Delaware City, where he Is
we'll known.

The aigh Schools new Principal

A special meeting Of the Board of
Education was held last night for the
purpose of ratifying the action Of the
Com mittee on Teachers, in reference to
the principalship of the Boys High
School, No. l. 1t was with difficulty
that a quorum could be secured, as
many OF the members were out Of town.
At 8.35 O'Clock the necessary number
were present and the meeting called to
order by the President.
The Committee on Teachers reported
In favor Of appointing W. w. Birdsall
Of Richmond, Indiana, as, In their opln-
ion, he was the best fitted candidate for
the position. The report of the COM
mittee was unanimously adopted by
the board, after which 1t adjourned.
Mr.. Birdsall, the successful candidate
has been principal of the High School
In Richmond and comes to this city
highly recommended. He is about 81
years of age and Q man fully calculated
to fill the position with credit to him
self and success to all concerned.
There were about twenty five OPP
plicants, but out of this number, only
three met with popular favor at the
hands OF the committee, viz; W. w.
Birdsall, Of Richmond, the successful
candidate; John N. Garman, of Tunk-
hammock, Pa, and A. N. Graham, of
Elkton, Md. The above three gentlemen
all stood very high in point Of creden-
tials and it was with some difficulty
that the committee could decide be-
tween the three. 1t is thou0ht the one
selected will be liked by all who come In
contact with him and he is destined to
become a favorite with the scholars.

slneerley,s Paper Mills burned.

SIngerley's Paper Mills Burned.
Mr.. Ewing a gentleman residing on
a farm in sight of the Providence paper
paper mills, in Cecil County, belonging
to William NJ. Singerly, pro-
prietor of the Philadelphia Record
called at the REP UBLICAN Office to
day with the information that the
mills referred to caught fire this morn.
ing about five o'clock.
These mills run continuously both
day and night, and the fire broke out
about the time for the morning change
Of hands. The cause of the fire is not
known but Is supposed to have caught
from what is known as the "chipper. 1"
The alarm was sounded, by the blow.
ing of whistles, and every possible eff
fort was made to extinguish the flames,
but in spite Of all that could be done
the flames spread with the greatest
rapidity and later reports state that all
the buildings are a wreck of ruins ex.
cept the machine shop which it was
thought could bo saved. All the paper
used in publishing the Record was made
in these mills the amount manufactured
being nearly four and half tons. Six
teams were kept constantly employed
in hauling materialtoand from the mills.
These mills were located on Little Elk
Creek about 1S miles from this city and
about five miles from the town Of Elk
ton. Mr.. Singerley has lately put
about 100000 worth of Improvements
upon the mills and it is supposed they
were amongst the most extensive and
best equipped mills in the country, the
machinery used being of the best i'm
proved and modern use. On account
of the marshy nature of the ground on
which the mills stood it is said Mr.. Sim
gerley had it in contemplation to re-
move his mills to another locality
where better roads could be made with.
out losing them by gradually sinking
in the marsh. Our informant could
not tell the loss, but it must have been
immense. Jas. w. Harris from this city
is foreman of the mills. About 100
hands were employed at the mills, and
1t is very probable will not be rebuilt.

never did see engines get out Of their
houses SO quickly. Your engines arp
very different from ours. Those III Ill.,
in London have parts as carefully made
as a chronometer's works; still, some IA
yours are very fine. T don't see, how
ever, why you hayesueh disastrous fires
as frequently occur here. When II ask
your iiremen about it they say: Oh.
our water supply j. inadequate WE
haven't sufficient in force Or quantity;
our apparatus is poor, and our build
ings are 80 high that often WE can't
reach the fire. Now, that is All
nonsense. You have a reat res
ervoir $50 feet above your city, and yoli
have plenty Of water in it. Your ap-
paratus is very good, and your build
ings do not average the height of those
in London or any other great European
capital Then, again, your streets ARE
remarkably wide, and your houses are
very substantially constructed Ihave
seen as fine brick aud iron work here
as ever I set eyes on. I can't under
stand how these things are. THE
blame, in my opinion, does not lie with
your water supply, water head, APP
paratus or buildings. but ia the
organization of the force. You have
no responsible head, to begin with
Your chief is not responsible to the
people, but to a board of commissioners
and they seem to have no well-deined
responsibility The discipline Of the
men is Indifferent as compared to the
discipline Of London firemen, who are
the most rigidly governed in the world.
This lack Of personal responsibility
however, appears to pervade all your
public Offices. InLondon, mismanage
ment at fire would be instantly in=
quired into and the blamable party
severely punished. That is one o. Ehe
secrets Of our success in coping with
fires -
