boat to the steamer Maine, also building
by that company for the same line, will
be launched on January 10th, at Q p. m.

Daniel Sweeney, r., w. & B. rail
road trackman, who resides on Railroad
avenue near Eleventh street, was at
tackled by grip about three weeks ago
and paid no attention to it until severe
bronchitis developed, which rapidly
turned to pneumonia Although Sweeney
is So years old he pulled through this
illness, but when he had recovered from
pneumonia his reason was suddenly
dethroned. Sometimes he imagined de-
tectives were after him. Again he would
see lot of lame old women with
crutches, who were prosecuting him, all
OF whom would jump out of the window
when any of his attendants would enter
his room. For awhile it was thought he
would have to be removed to Farnhurst,
but under the treatment. of DR.. G. w.
Mann he is recovering. The physician
says Sweeney's mental trouble was
caused by grip and is an intellectual
monomania with depression and the de-
lirium of prosecution.

Burn Their Way Into the Store--Cloth-
ing Damaged.


Burn Their Way Into the Store--Cloth-
ing Damaged.
Fire was discovered in the basement
of Thomas A. Pennock's clothing store,
southeast corner of Fifth and Market
streets, about $50 last evening week.
Almost Immediately after the flames
fed Captain Francis at the police sta
ton, fire alarm box No. 12 was struck
at the city hall. The firemen responded
in good time, and when they arrived
the flames were bursting up through the
floor into the main salesroom of the
clothing store.
The fire which crept through the hole
burned in the floor, illuminated the first
story of the building and threatened
everything with destruction for time.
The flames burst through the aperture
and were making their way along the
counter in the room when the firemen
turned shower of water upon the con-
Migration.
The water soon drowned out the fire
in the basement of the building, which
aided materially in subduing the flames
on the first floor. The fire on the first
floor was eventually conquered by the
firemen before it had gained much head
way, but not until dense volumes of
smoke had issued forth through the
upper story of the building and damaged
every article of clothing in the rooms.
Chief Engineer Robinson was present
shortly after the fire was discovered and
the firemen reached the scene. He was
careful to see that only SO much water
was used in putting out the fire as was
absolutely necessary. In this way the
clothing escaped being deluged with
water, but the smoke and flying cinders
damaged all the stock.
Mr.. Pennock was seen at the store
on Thursday and asked the amount of
the loss sustained by the fire. He said
he had not been able to make an exact
estimate yet, but that it would not fall
short Of $4,000 He added that the in
surance would probably be equal to the
loss. Although he could as yet make
no definite estimate of either the loss or
the insurance. He did not know the
origin of the fire.
The portion of the basement occupied
by Edwin +. Uber as paint shop was
untouched by the fire. The paint shop
is separated from that portion where the
fire started by stone wall and this wall
saved the paint shop. While the firemcn
were at work the street cars on Market
street were stopped.

Flames were discovered in the Old
Novelty Theatre, formerly used Us u
saloon by Billy Carroll, on Front
street between King and French, at 2.40
O'clock Thursday afternoon. The fire
was first noticed by Sergeant Wiggles-
worth, who turned in an alarm from
box 81 at the Philadelphia, Wilmington
& Baltimore railroad station. When
the firemcn arrived the second story Of
the building, where the fire originated,
was filled with smoke. 1t is thought
the flames ignited from defective tiue.
The building is occupied by NJ. Slum-
mer as a picture-framc store. The fire
was put out by the firemen before it
mad made much headway. The owner
of the building estimates his loss at
$500, with an insurance of $500. The
loss to the building is about $500,
covered by insurance.
