The Fire across the River.

A fire on the Jersey shore near Deep
Water Point attracted the attention Of

be oommodious mansion, with lawn
in front and thrifty looking outbuildinga
adjacent. The mansion was large
enough to have six windows In row en-
its river front. Men were fighting out
goods, About p. m. the roof was seen
to fall in, and half an hour
later the flames died out and the
destruction seemed complete. inquiry
Tuesday morning ELECTED the fact that the
house burned was occupied by farmer

his produce in the Wilmington market.
The house is situated two miles south OF

all these states are conceded to Cieve-
land by the Republicans. We have not
put Indiana in the list, but It might
reasonably be included. By general con-
sent it ia believed to be safe for Cleve
land to-day, in spite Of the announce
ment that Commissioner Dudley ia going
to devote himself especially to it as soop
as he can settle his little difficulty
at Washington, growing out OF the
charge that he has grossly violated
the Civil Service laws 10 bis work for
Blaine in Ohio. he secured his present
Office by his 90 .operstion with Dorsey in
the ''sosp" victory in Indiana In 1880,
and Is undoubtedly great expert in
that kind Of political work still We do
can not believe he turn Indiana about
within the next two weeks.
As for New York state, the chances are
at least two to one that Cleveland will
receive Its electoral vote by very large
majority. With New York and Indiana
sdded to his 1852 assured votes, he would
have 2l3, a majority OF IL. Or leaving
out Indiana aud adding Connecticut, he
would have 207 votes, a majority OF 6.
Leaving out Connecticut and Indiana,
and adding Nevada, lie would Lave 201
voted, precisely majority. But he has
bstter chances than Blaine In all these
states-Indians, New York, Connecticut
and Nevada-Rnd the four combined with
his sure states would give him 1913 votes,
a majority OF 20.

FIRE broke ont in the stables OF John Il.
Tygert. The alarm was Immediately
given, but not until the flames bad en-
velopsd the building, did the town firs
apparatus get upon the ground. All
efforts to extip uish the flames proved
futile, and in q short time the stable and
Its contents were wiped ont.
The wind was blowing q hAvvy gale
and 1t carried the flames to the adjoining
stable Of BENZ B. Allen. The build
ing contained seven tons Of hay, a car
load Of phosphate, two sleighs, come
harness, 90. The stables were situated
In the rear Of the Presby terrain and
Episcopal churches, and adjoining the
Episcopal chapel was q large hemlock
shed, which the fire had finally
communicated to. The fire engine,
directed by B v. Weldon, played

The windows In the rear OF the chapel be-
came 80 hot as TO melt the soldering.
Upon the roofs OF the surrounding houses

to put ont the flying cinders that were
car led promisouously about by the
wild Several times did the houses
Of Messrs. Allen, Hoffecker aud
Hazel catch fire but the flames
were extipguished in their inoIpiency.
Effective work was rendered by tue hose
of J. B. Evans & Co., and constantly
upon the oornice Of the Presby te rian
Church stream was played. An engine
from Wilmington was telegraphed for.
but getting the fire under control, it was
teleRraphed back that its service would
not be needed. The origin OF the fire Ia
attributed to some small boys that were
seen in the stable playing with matches.
Mr.. Aliens loss is estimated At about
$500, while Tygert's will not exceed
$3.50. There is thought to be no In
