DWELLINGs DESTROYED BIZ FIRE.

Two Houses on Elliott Avenue, Near tho
Toii-gate, Completely Quilted by the
Flames.
The dwelling houses of Benjamin F.
Downward and George Downward, con-
tractors and builders, living at Nos. sos
and 507 Elliott avenue, wele destroyed
by fire at an early hour Thursday
morning.
The fire was first discovered in the
house occupied by Benjamin Down
ward, No. 507 Elliott avenue, a few
minutes before o'clock, by Mr.. Down
wards brother. The smoke from the
burning building filled the rooms Of the
adjoining house, and George succeeded
in getting his wife and child outside
and then went to the rescue OF his
brother, who was asleep in the front
room OF the blazing building adjoining.
The house was mass of flames when
Benjamin Downward was awakened by
his brother. Glad only in his night gar
ment he quickly left the burning build.
ing and jumped from the second story
window to the yard below. A few
moments later and he would probably
have been burned 10 death, as he was
sound asleep when aroused by his
brother The flames had cut off all
avenues of escape by the stairway, and
the bedrooms were filled with smoke.
The fire was soon communicated to
the adjoining building, occupied by
George Downward. Both buildings are
Of frame and burned rapidly. The fire
department was summoned about A
o'clock by the sounding of an alarm
from box No. 2, al Twentieth and
Market streets. BY the time the fire
apparatus arrived the houses were
nearly consumed. The fireman turned
their attention 10 the stables, which
several times caught on fire and were
saved from the flames.
The houses and contents are a total
loss. The owners estimate the loss on
the two dwellings at IS 900, upon which
there is an insurance of about two.
thirds that amount in the Royal and
Girard Insurance Companies. The con.
tents are also insured.
The fire is supposed to have been
started by mice, the theory being that
the little pests carried the matches tc
their lair in the frame work of the build
ing, where they ignited them by biting
tho sulphur with their teeth. Several
fires have been attributed to this origin
recently, as workmen in tearing dowr
the remnants of partially destroyed
dwelling have found where mice have
carried matches to their nests and eaten
the sulphur from the sticks.

The Pathetic Story of Curtis Valentine in
Justice Monaghan,s ONCE.

Justice Monaghan's ONCE.
Curtis Valentine, young man 81
years old, was arraigned before Justice
of the Peace James Monaghan, last night
week, charged with the larceny of
some clothing from Watson Handy and
Alonzo r. Donovan, living near Belle
vue in Brandywine hundred. The
young man told pitiful story to the
magistrate, in which he related how he
came from Saratoga county, N. Y,
where his wife and child died, with the
hopes of getting work, but his efforts
were fruitless, until he reached the
farm of Nicholas Spiele in Brandywine
hundred
Here he worked nearly two months,
he said, until Wednesday he found the
work was too hard for him and he
made up his mind to leave. He had no
clothes, he said, and as Spiele had told
him he could not pay him any money,
owing to the fact that his crops were a
failure, out of sheer necessity he took
the garments from Donovan and
Hanby's rooms. He said there were
valuables and other jewelry In the room,
hut he wanted only clothes. He was
finally released.

A fine specimen Of squid was taken
from the water dead. His queer shape
and fading spots attracted much alten-
ton and comment,
"The squid, explained the colonel, sis
difficult fish to transport. They are
among the most rapid swimming fish
known. When placed in tank they
dart to and fro with incredible rapidity.
Time and time again they come in
violent contact with the sides of the
tank, frequently rebounding several
inches from the force of the impact.
When taken from the tanks dead their
heads are always found to be badly
bruised"
The collection also includes score or
more of viviparous perch. The female Of
these species is remarkable for giving
direct birth TO her young in the same
manner as whale. This is phenome-
non that has never been observed in any
other species Of the fish creation.
Other specimens were observed too
numerous to mention. The visitors could
readily believe the statement of Colonel
Lambson when he said that the making
of the collection was big job. While at
Monterey the Colonel and his assistants
were required to be up many mornings
at or o'clock and TO Chamber over the
rocks in order to take advantage of a
favorable tide. Duckings were frequent
and the collectors were as often clad in
wet clothes as dry.
All the specimens were taken from
the bay and will have to be kept in salt

A oREAMERY NUIsANcE.
The State Board of Health Moved t
Secure Its Abatement.


Secure Its Abatement.
In Justice McWhorter's court, on
Thursday, Palmer Dickey and William
Mitchell, proprietors of the creamery at
Stanton, were arraigned on o charge of
refusing to obey the orders of the State
Board Of Health relative to the abate-
ment of nuisance on their premises.
For the purpose of draining their
creamery, the defendants dug on the
sidewalk well five feet in diameter
and 16 feet deep, into which the refuse
was conveyed by u pipe. The pre-
sumption was that the stuff would dis
appear by percolation, but this it failed
to do, and in consequence the we'll filled
to overlooking and became foul nui-
sance. A piggery was located near the
creamery and in hogshead well close
by was poured milk for feeding the
hogs. The piggery arrangements also
resulted in constituting an ill-smelling
nuisance.
On complaint of Robert o. Currinder
and others, e. B. Frazer, secretary OF
the State Board If Health, visited the
premises and ordeIe1 an abatement OF
the nuisances. The r,prietors promised
all abatement, but the promise was moi
fulfilled. Again Secretary Frazer visited
the place, this time accompanied by DR.
Lowber of the State Board of Health
More promises, but no abatement re,
suited. A third warning, producing nc
practical effect, legal proceedings were
instituted.
The defendants were represented a
the bearing by W. T. Lyman, and wit
nesses were on hand to testify to ths
nature of the nuisances. By agreement
the defendants pleaded guilty, and th,
case was settled by the payment o
costs, amounting to about $40.
The nuisance will now, in all proba
bility, be abated.
