A Small Fire.

About three o'clock Sunday afternoon
black volumes of smoke were seen aris-
ing from the upper end of Main street,
which proved to be some fodder stacks
belonging to Robert L. Cummins, in
the rear of his granary and stables,
right near to which were the stables of
David J. Cummins. B. B. Allen, Jr., who
lives on the opposite side of the street,
as soon as he saw it hurried down to
the Town Hall to give word to the
members of the Hose Company. The
president and two engineers, however,
were not about, and the members to
the number of ten or a dozen got out
the carriage and soon had it on the
ground and attached the hose to the
uppermOst plug on Main street. Two
attachments were made and the COM
bined streams suppressed the flames.
The fire had been kept down in part by
water thrown by buckets, but when
the hose carriage got there three fodder
stacks were on fire and proved difficult
to entirely extinguish, being ON fire
from beneath as we'll as on the outer
surface, breaking out several times
after it was thought to be out. A large
rick of fodder and the adjoining stables
could not have been saved bat for the
water supply as furnished by the water
works, and but for the feeling to save
property of any kind from unnecessary
destruction, there was an absence of
sympathy for it because deemed out of
place thus located on one of our prin-
cipal streets.
1t is not known how the fire Origina-
ted butsuppOsed from smokers or boys
playing with matches, as has been the
case with most of the fires for some
time in our town. This is the first time
that the hose has been in use since the
construction of the water-wOrks. There
was no general alarm, but happening
near the close of the Sunday School
sessions, the information was soon
scattered and the place visited by a
number of people who wanted an even
ing walk. The following is from the
persons whose property was in such
imminent peril:

Protecting Game.

The influx of gunners from the
cities into Delaware and Maryland has
been great and many birds, i'm spite of
our laws protecting game, have been
killed for the city markets. The So
license to gun in the State is disre-
garded and the Delaware Game Protec-
tive Association is considered of little
account in keeping birds from being
taken from the State. The Salem Sun
beam gives the following experience of
the efforts in New Jersey to protect
their game:
From all parts Of the State come COM
plants that our game laws are altogether
in the interest of foreign spOrtsmen. II
cost this county recentlySl33 to prevent gun
ming on Sunday, most of the illegal gun
ming being attempted by residents Of other
States. Burlington county has this year
paid @l79 for protecting game until Phila-
delphia got ready to go up and kill it. In
Cape May county local taxpayer who had
shot quail day or so before the season
| opened, narrowly escaped being heavily
fined, an agent Of the foreign gunners trav-
cling all theiway from Camden to prose
cute him. A few days after, these foreign
sportsmen went down to Cape May and,
/ according to the Wave, literally cleaned up
the game without so much as "by your
leave Of the citizens Of the county. It IS
/ dihcult to board a train on the West Jer-
sey Railroad without meeting parties OF
these Philadelphia gunners. nearly all OF
them loaded with bunches Of rabbits and
quails. 1t II probable that this Winter
South Jerseymen will ask for Legislation
that will give them a shot at their owl
game"

THE Wilmington Home Weekly stalks
among its exchanges stilted critic 1t is
well for the press of the Peninsula to have
a schoolmaster to look after its syntax and
especially keep it in the line of accredited
English words. Its criticism of the TIMES
turns on the use Of the word "yanking,"
in reference to truant school boys being
caught By an officer and compelled to go
to school, The word we knew was not in
the dictionery, but its use, in common par
lance or rather slang, was understood with
more forcefulness than would have been a
long sentence Of Adisonion English. The
nearest approach to it in the dictionary is
Yankee, but which was not there in the
days Of johnson and Walker the we'll
known compiers. The dictionary has been
built up from generation to generation by
words that were at first considered vulgar,
having their origin with the common peo-
pie, but soon claimed the attention Of the
photographer, because of their expressive
ness as well as general use We expect
meat OUR editorial confrere in his high re-
r.i t0r elegant dicJion will object to our
use Of that Peninsular provincialism.
