Fire Destroys the House and Barn oil
Thomas Pagan and Eleven Head oil
Horses and Mules Perish In the Flames.
The house and barn belonging to
Thomas Pagan, the garbage contractor,
situate on the old Jackson Inn road
about one-fourth Of a mile beyond
Silyerbrook, were burned to the ground
at 8 o'clock Monday morning together
with the contents.
There were five horses and six mules
in the barn at the time of the fire all of
which persisted in the flames. The fire
also destroyed several tons of hay and
straw, the corn crib adjoining the barn,
together with number of garbage
carts, is sets of harness, tools and i'm
plements.
The dwelling house, about 10 yards
from the barn was burned to ashes. The
occupants, George Valentine and family,
escaped with their lives. Valentine
was asleep on a lounge downstairs,
when he was awakened by the braying of
the mules about o'clock. lie ran out
of the house in the direction of the barn
which was by this time mass Of flames.
lie was about to go to the rescue of the
imprisoned animals, when he discovered
that the house also was on fire. The
roof was all mass of flames, and while
several occupants were sleeping in the
second story the flames werebri4kly burn.
ing over their heads. The fire had also
caught the side of the house, which was
fast eating its way into the building. 1t
was with difficulty that Valentine got
the other occupants out of the building
before the roof tumbled in with crash
Only one piece of furniture was saved.
The fire soon destroyed the two frame
buildings. They were outside the city
limits and no fire alarm was turned in.
The loss sustained by the fire is about
$4,000, divided as follows: Horses and
mules, $1,4Q0; barn and corn crib, 5000;
house, $500; contents of buildings, to-
gether with garbage carts and wagons,
$500. Upon the buildings and contents
there is not dollar of insurance. The
origin of the fire is mystery. One
theory is that it is the work of tramps,
while some believe that it is due to an
incendiary,

STABBED BIZ A NEGRO.
A Wrangle That May End in Murder--
Case Under the New Local Option Law.


Case Under the New Local Option Law.
CAMBRIDGE, ND, July 9.--Thomas
J. Hallowell, respectable and indus
trious farmer of the Neck district, was
seriously and perhaps fatally stabbed
by William Byrd, colored, during a
wrangle in front of Thomas A. LIE
Complies store, at Lloyd postoffice,
Dorchester county, Saturday night. The
difficulty arose from debt which Byrd
owed Hallowell and his son. Last spring
the two Hallowell's were employed. by
Byrd TO plow his ground and put II
in order for planting corn. They
never received any payment for the
work, although they had repeatedly
called upon Byrd for the SANS. %
Saturday night Mr.. Haliowell and his
son met Byrd at the store and again de-
manded pay. Byrd refused and stated
that he did not owe them anything.
The elder Hallowell replied that he was
dead beat" and never intended to
pay them. Byrd in response used some
very offensive language. Hallowell
raised his arm to strike and Byrd in
stantly drew large knife from his
pocket and attacked Halloween, stab
bling him twice near the region of the
heart. Hallowell, who was bleeding
profusely, was removed to his home,
about two miles distant, and doctor
sent for to attend the Ned man.
DR.. George L. Hicks examined the
wounds, but was unable to state posi-.
lively whether they would result fa-
tally or not. After the affair the negro
escaped and has not yet been caught.
S. j. Venables against whom there are
four charges of violating the Cambridge
liquor law in selling beer, was given
preliminary hearing before Justice Bar
nett to-day. Venables, through his
counsel, A. L. Miles, prayed jury trial
and was held in $500 bail for his appear
ance at court. He was unable to furnish
bail aud was sent to Jail. This is the
first prosecution under the new law and
will test its validity.

London Papers Give Great Prominence
to the Strike News From the United
States---will Not Affect American So
eurities.
LONDON, July THE morning papers
give the greatest prominence to the rail-
road strikes in the United States. Start
ling head lines are displayed such as.
''Seige Of Chicago" Chicago Captured"
Anarchy in Chicago" &c.
The 50. James Gazette declares that the
strikes have almost assumed the character
of civil war.
The strikes have caused but little change
in the prices of American securities in the
London stock market. Prices to-day were
mostly steady, but there was scarcely any
business done. A few declined a tribe.
Members of the firms of Brown, Shipley
& Co., Drexel, Morgan g. Co. and other
American and English banking firms have
been interviewed by Associated Press
correspondent as to the probable result of
the strikes on American securities. The
general opinion of those seen was that no
unfayorable effect would be caused here,
the trouble being looked upon as abso-
lutely temporary in character.
Some disappointment was expressed,
however, that the Federal government
had, UP to the present, contented itself
with the issuance of injunctions to refrain
the strikers from interfering with the
transit of the mails and interstate COM
merce.
The general conclusion was that the
situation was bad for stocks for the mo-
ment, but that eventually the effect would
be good.

Wilmington g. Northern Cars Derailed,
Track Torn Up and Man scslded.
West Chester News Monday.
A disastrous freight wreck occurred
on the Wilmington & Northern rail
road at point about one mile south of
Modena Saturday. Nine cars were
derailed, several of them being badly
damaged, and the track was torn up for
distance of over 100 feet.
Shortly after O'Clock the freight
train drawn by engine 13 went thunder
ing along the road. the regular crew
being in charge. Upon arriving at a
point one mile south Of Modena car
right in the centre of the train jumped
the track in some Unexplained manner,
and was dragged over 100 feet before
the engineer could bring his iron horse
10 q standstill, the car referred to in the
meantime being completely demolished
and eight other cars thrown from the
track. As stated above, 1.-The tracks We're
torn up or twisted out Of shape for a
distance of over 100 feet
Duke Fassnacht of Joanna, the engi.
neer in charge, was violently shaken up
by the accident, and badly scalded
about the limbs by escaping hot water
and steam, some of the valves of the
locomotive having been baGly broken
by the Earring. His injuries were
dressed by physician and he was
subsequently sent to his home at
Joanna. The locomotive was badly
damaged in many respects.
North-bound and south bound trains
arrived at the scene shortly after the
accident occurred, and the passengers
we're transferred around the wreck,
thereby causing only a slight delay.
The trains were, however, compelled to
run backward to their respective
destinations.
Word was dispatched to Wilmington
shortly after the occurrence of the acct
dent, and in about an hour big wreck
ing crew was on hand and busily en-
gagged in relaying the tracks, replacing
the derailed cars and clearing way the
debris. The crew continued at the work
during the greater portion of Sunday,
by which time they had gotten things in
pretty good shape. 70. day all trains are
running on full time to all points on the

NO STRIKE HERE.


scarcely u possibility OF the Western
Movement Affecting the Pullman Shops
and Railroads in This City.
General Foreman Bulge stated last
Monday that he did not think the men
employed at the Pullman shops in this
city will strike. The men, he said, have
no grievance and the only possible
thing which would induce them to quit
work is sympathy for the Western
strikers. They are perfectly contented
SO far as they themselves are concerned,
and he doubted whether they will strike
through sympathy.
The foremen of the several depart
ments, he added, were instructed some
time ago to ascertain whether the men
were discontinued and it they were to
send them to him, but no discomfort
was discovered.
Three men were commissioned as
special watchmen last week. Their
duty is to guard outside the building
and to patrol the p, w. &c B. tracks in
front of the works, on which Pullman
cars are frequently left until the shops
are ready to receive them. They were
appointed particularly for service on tile
Fourth of July aud are being continued
on duty as precautionary measure.
The total number of men employed as
watchmen is eight. Mr.. Bulge did not
know whether or not any of his men
are members of the American Railway
Union, branch of which some West
erners endeavored to organize in this
city recently.
Superintendent Brooks of the Mary
land division of the p, w. q b. rail-
road did not anticipate strike among
his men. He thought very few of them
belong to the knights of Labor. II the
men who are members of that order
should decide to strike, their action will
not affect the company. He was of the
opinion that the men have better sense
than to strike. Since there are so many
out of employment, tho company would
not experience tronble in obtaining en-
ployes in the event of strike.
At the Delaware railroad office it was
stated that there isn't the slightest pos
sibility Of strike among the passenger
trainmen on that division. The train
men belong to the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, the Order of
Railway Conductors and kindred organ
izations, which have no sympathy for
the Western strikers.
A conductor remarked with more en-
phasis than elegance: "rhe railroad
men here aren't such - fools as the
railroad men out West We are in the or.
ders for the insurance we get out of them
and we would not quit work if the or
CARNATIONS ordered us to strike" The
latter thought few trainmen on the
Maryland division are members of any
order.
If there should be strike here, rail-
road employee said, the strikers would
consist only of few trackmen and
possibly some shopmen.
Things are quiet on the B. & o. rail-
road and none of its employees are ex-
pected to strike.
At noon 1t was stated at the Whining
ton offices of the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad companies
that their trains were still entering and
leaving Chicago.
In The officers of the A. r. U. of this
city are: Samuel B. Knee, President;
William A. Kelly, Vice. President; S. B..
Robinson, Secretary. 1t has about 45
members.
