Greensboro, Md, Visited by Fire That
at One Time Threatened to be Very
Serious.
GREENSBORO Nd, July 26.--The
dwelling house of Nathan Minner, on
Main street, Greensboro, was entirely
destroyed by fire about o'clock this
morning. The fire started about 1880,
and for time it was thought the larger
part of Main street would be destroyed.
The people were awakened by the
the shooting OF guns and the ringing of
church bells, and within 20 minutes
from the time the alarm was sounded
more than 800 men were hard at work
endeayoring to save the town. Much
credit is due Mr.. Walter Rich, who was
the first to give the alarm, coming out
in his uight-clothes to do so, and also to
two ladies, Misses Iva Lowe and Sallie
Draper, who hastened to the Methodist
Episcopal Church and rang the large
bell until almost every person in the
town was awake.
As in Hillsboro, there is no fire ap-
paratus excep: water buckets, num-

nation. The occupants of the burning
house and the family of Mr.. Robert E.
Coursey, living in building adjoining
on the north, were hurried out in their
night-clothes. Fortunately there was
but little breeze, and the adjoining
houses being kept wet, the flames were
not allowed to spread. Butaittle furnl-
ture was burned, The fire is supposed
to have originated in the summer
kitchen of the building, which was
destroyed. The loss is estimated at
| about 81 900.

WHAT KIM YUNE SAYS.

He is Not at All Alarmed About the
Prospect of War Between Japan and
China.
Kim Yune, who conducts laundry
at No. 210 West Eighth street, is now
the accepted leader of the Chinese
element in this locsiity. Harry Wing,
used to bear that distinction, but since
the departure Of Wing for other pastures
the mantel has fallen on the shoulders
of Kim Yune. Ex-Leader Wing now
conducts a laundry at Atlantic City.
He formerly resided at No. 3l6 East
Ninth street. He is above the average
Msngolian in poiGtsof intelligence, and
has DOTTED the garb of his native coun-,
try for that Of the civilian. Wings
parents are living in China and are
said to be veryewealthy. They tried to
induce Wing to return to his native
country, but in vain.
Kim Yune is another Chinaman who
is satisfied to dwell in the midst Of the
"Melican man." Last Friday he was
asked concerning the likelihood OF the
threatened hostilities between China
and Japan coming to a climax, as a
result of the recent disturbances In

"Let 'em fight" says Kim. NE no

Funeral of Mrs. LippIncott.

Mrs. j. Dundas .Lippincott, whose
summer residence was near Claymont,,
and who died suddenly at Bar Harborl
Saturday week, was buried in the family
lot at Laurel Hill cemetery, Philadeli
phia, Wednesday. The funeral services
were held at the house, No. 500 South
Broad street, at IL o'clock Wednesday,
morning, and the officiating clergymen
were the Rev. 5. d. Mcconnell of st.
Stephens Church, of which Mrs. Lip
pincott was member; the Rev. Dr.
Baker of Princeton, N. j.; the Rev. A.
b. Conger of the Church OF the Good
Shepherd, Raduer, and Bishop John
Scarborough of New Jersey. The In
tention Of the family was to have the
burial service strictly private, but the
friends were so numerous and so
anxious to bid the last farewell to the
woman who had been such benefac-
tor and friend that the first plan was
considerably relaxed. The house was
filled with mourners, many of whom
were representatives of the philan-
thropic and charitable societies with
which Mrs. Lippincott was connected.

NEWARK, July 27.-lt now looks as
if the project to extend Delaware
avenue from Academy to Chapel street
has received death blow at the hands
of the commission Of award which met
here yesterday.
Although the mercury out in the sun
was clinging close to the 1l00 mark the
commissioners appointed by the court
were all present and at 2 o'clock, accom-
panied by Hugh G. Browne, Esq, attor-
ney for the protesting property owners,
went over the route of the proposed
street extension. The length of the ex-
tension is 200 feet and passes through
the lands OF the Academy of Newark,
James A. Wilson, DIR. L. W. Haines,
John Gregg, Joseph b. Luton and

The original damage award made by
Council amounted to only $23S alto

one agreed, yet one quite commensurate
with the advantage which it would be

imburse the property owners for their

who appealed through the court were

Evidently the commission felt the same

ELKToN, ND, July 25.-Dr. r. Ward,
State inspector, was here to-day examin-
ing the disease among the hogs of j.
w. Mccullough, near Mechanics Valley,
who has recently lost nine fine hogs out
of herd OF 81. Three Of the balance
of the herd appear to be perfectly well,
but the remainder are very sick. DIR.
Ward pronounced the disease hog
cholera. From Mr.. McCullough's state
ment it seems that ]. w. Ward moved
his herd of ~ hogs from Delaware to
the adjoining farm, and the doctor
thinks this is how the disease was in
troduced. The herd Of Mr.. Wards hogs
have been dying off as we'll. DIR. Ward
explained the best methods under the
circumstances to save the remaining
hcgs-by isolation, antiseptics, with the
burning of all litter. The only symp-
toms shown are the loss of the use OF
their hindquarter and their. refusal to
cat. Death follows closely. One of the
diseased hogs was cut open and it was
discovered that both lungs and intes'
tines were very much diseased and in
famed.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The division
of vegetable pathology of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has published an
interesting report on the effect Of spray
ing with fungicides on the growth of
nursery stock. The report was prepared
by B. t. Galloway, chief Of the division,
and embodies the results of three years
work in the treatment of nursery stock
for the prevention of fungous diseases.
The work was conducted at a nursery
at Mulliken, Nd, and during the three
years there has been treated more than
million pear, plum, cherry and apple
trees. Spraying, the report says, is
looked upon by the owners of the nur-
sery as necessity and equal in import
ance to cultivation and fertilization OF
the soil. The report summarized as
follows the more important points
brought out by the experiments:
The treatment had comparatively
little effect on the apples; that is, the
untreated trees were, from the begin
ming to the. end of the experiment,
practically as good as the treated.
The most striking results of the works
were seen in the case of the pears,
cherries, plums and apples, in tue order
named.
Bordeaux mixture in every instance
gave the best results, materially increas-
ing the growth OF the pears and cherries
and never in any case injuring the
foliage in the slightest.
There was no appreciable difference
as regards growth between stocks treated
early and those treated late. In other
words Withholding the application of
the fungicide 10 to Is days in spring
did not materially affect the results 50
far as growth was concerned.
The treatment did not seem to
produce any marked effect on stocks
SO far as regards rendering them
more easily budded. These results
may in a measure be accounted
for, however, by the fact thai
the leaf blight diseases were not SC
severe during the early part OF the
season of 1891 as usual.
En- The cost of treating nursery stock with
y Bordeau mixture need not exceed %
cents per 900 trees the first season. The
second year the cost of the work will
also be % cents, while the third veal
the cost will be increased to 80 or 40
cents per 1000, making the total cost OF
treating trees until the buds are two
years old from IS cents to ST per 1000.
The net profit resulting from thu
work in case of the pears and cherries
ranged from 81 to $40 per 1000 trees
the average being $l3 per 1000.
a& In conclusion the statement is mad
that as whole the experiments clearl,
show that spraying nursery stool
ii with fungicides is thoroughly practic
N able; that it results in better trees il
every way; and, finally that it yields
handsome profit.

CoUNCIL,s BAD FINANoIERING.
The High City Assessment Roundly Con.
demned EYerYMhere.

Probably never in the record of
municipal financing of Wilmington has
there been such universal condemnation
as in the case of the present city assess
ment figures.
1t is heard daily at every street corner
and is the most usual of topics along
Market street,
1t is not taken up in political sense.
The criticism comes from Republicans
Just as much as from Democrats.
Tho worst feature of the harsh assess
ment is that il bears by far the heaviest,
as regards the increase, upon the poorer
class of property owners. 1t is raised
ON small $12,a-month houses, those
belonging to mechanics, upon whom
the present business depression bears
the heaviest.
