Last evening at about nine o'clock,
Mr. George L. Homsted, the cigar dealer,
saw a cloud of smoke which his ex
perienced eye at once saw was too large
to be made by any human smoker.
Police Officer Firth attention was called
to the matter. He agreed with Mr..
Homsted and turned in an alarm from
box five. The fire was in a room in the
second story of the building on Monu-
ment square owned by the Hammond
estate. The room is occupied by Henry
Mayo, the barber. The large barber's
case for shaving mugs, etc, was the
starting point of the fire, and from there
it ran up the wall to the ceiling. The
chemical soon extinguished the flames.
Mr. Mayo said that he left the building at
half past eight and at that time every
thing was apparently all right. He
thought the fire might have been caused
by matches kept on the case. Mr.. Mayo
estimates his loss at about $500 and has
an insurance of $500. The fire was the
cause of one death, that of Mr.. Mayo's
highly priced and sweet voiced canary,
which was suffocated. Beneath Mr..
Mayo's room is the store of Adolph Il.
Ulmer, the cutler. Had water..made its
way through the floor and reached the
hardware and cutlery, it would have
caused heavy loss to Mr.. Ulmer.. But
the firemen swept the liquid from the
chemical into the hall and down the
stairs SO that little if any reached the
store. The thick smoke rolled through
the building but the rooms were all
closed and the damage to the tenants will
probably not be much. The offices of the
Evening Express are in the building,
but were not reached by the smoke.
The damage to the building is slight.
The building is insured.

A Lost Child.

The plaintiye wailings of little two
years-old boy echoed through the base
ment of City Hall. yesterday. The little
fellow was brought into the station in
the forenoon by a man who found him
lost on the street. The child was dis
consulate, but could neither tell its par
ents' name nor its home, so the police
were forced to keep him all day. In the
evening search was made, and the child
was found to be the little son of Nicho-
las White, who lives in the rear of No. IS
Anderson street. The boys mother was
sick, and when the little fellow strayed
away there was no one to look after him
until night.

Against the Schooner Eunice l. Croker

The libel case of John A. Morse ct al.
VS.. schooner Eunice L. Croker it will be
remembered was tried in the United
States Court few weeks ago, and was
decided by Judge Webb in favor of the
schooner. The vessel has now again been
hbeled by Mr.. Morse at Philadelphia. 1t
will be remembered that this case was
brought about by John A. Morse ct al,
of Bath, who were dissatisfied with the
charter which Captain Croker. who is
manager of the schooner, made. The
schooner has been bonded by the cap
tain, and the case will probably be set
tied by Captain Croker buying the frac-
lions of the vessel which the dissatisfied
parties now own.

March 2jth-Noying Day.

March the twenty fifth is a daY Of
which neighbors ar, exchanged, fucai

long Cecil county families have observed
March %, as the proper day upon which
to take up their new homes is beyond
computing, and why they do not wait
until more favorable weather is a queg

that the March winds. rains, bad

because it always has bsen done. Why
not consider and have the date Of the

The Wilmington FAIR AssOcia-
ton DISbanded.

The committee appointed at the recent
meeting of the stockholders and credit
ors of the Wilmington Fair Association
to consider the question of continuing
the exhibitions have submitted report.
1t is valuable for definite statement
that it is useless to reorganize the associ
alton, and as a result the assets will be
transferred to the creditors for them to
take such action as they may deem
fitting. This means.thas the buildings,
which constitute the whole of the assets,
will be placed in the shsriff's hands for
disposition. The immediate cause of the
collapse is stated to be the high prem
iums paid to exhibitors.
The Association has been in existence
for five years during which time total
of over $4,000 has been sunk in the
enterprise. The land on which the build
ings are erected was leased.
1t lis the opinion of several of the d.
rectors that successful fair can only be
run with the adjuncts of whiskey and
pool selling and this the directors will
not consent to.
