MEMORIES OF MIL.
A wiimingtoninn's Recoiiectlons OF sena-
tor from New York.


Schuyler G. Reynolds Of the Will
mington Candy 90. is native of the
Empire State and spent all his life,
until he came to Wilmington, few
years ago, at Elmira, the home of
United States Senator David b. Hill.
Mr.. Reynolds recollections of Mr..
Hill date back to the time when the
latter went from Havana, N. Y, TO
Elmira to beign the study of law.
The Office of Mr.. Hills preceptor was
only two doors distant from that of Mr..
Reynolds and consequently Messrs.
Reynolds and Hill frequently met.
Mr. Reynolds was at that time secre-
tary and treasurer OF the Chemung
County Democratic Club, and then,
as now. il required money to run a
political club. Ono day young Hill
walked into Mr.. Reynolds office and,
handing him so cents, remarked "Mr.
Reynolds, | am Democrat am in :
terested in your club and here's so
cents for the cause. IL had more |
would give it, but that is the best |
can do at present. y That, probably,
was the first money given by Mr.. Hill
for political PURPOSES
Soon thereafter Mr.. Hill saw Mr..
uiih utblIt W dll-
dress Democratic meeting. An op.
portunity offered and he was sent over
to Erin, little town seven miles dis.
tant. There he made his first political
speech and it must have greatly pleased
his hearers, for few days subsequent
a leading Democrat OF Erin called on
Mr. Reynolds and requested that Mr..
Hill be sent there again, adding that ne
was bright young fellow and would
be heard from in years TO come. 4"
Mr.. Reynolds says David B. Hill,
law student, was as punctua! as David
Il. Hill, Senator from New York, and
during his law studies at Elmira his
habits were as regular as they possibly
could be. For nearly 25 years previous
to becoming Governor of New York Mr..
Hill boarded with two widow ladies
and so regular was he, especially in the
hour of going to dinner, it came to be
a by-word with those he passed that
David is going to dinner, set your
watch. Mr.. Hills father is said to
have often expressed the fear that
David would not get along in the
world, ~

Elkton, Md, Jan. H. Trinity Epis-
copal Church, on the corner Of Main
and Bridge streets, was entirely gutted
by Tire this morning. The first bell
had been rung, and the rector, the
Rev. William Schouler, was in the
church preparing for services. He dis
covered the festoons in the rear Of the
church, close to stove, on fire, and
attempted TO extinguish the flames, but
without success. He thon ran from the
building and gave the alarm. The
flames gained such Roadway that the
interior of the church was soon seeth-
ing mass Of fire. Nothing remains Of
the handsome structure but the walls
and some charred timbers. The con
tents of the church were totally de-
stroyed, including large pipe organ,
which cost 81, 200 The church was
built of Brandywine stone ono story
high, and had 4 seating capacity Of
over 200. The fro was caused by an
overheatod stove. The building was in
sured for s3,5OO in the Royal and
American ire Insurance Cos, and

A committee had been appointed to
suggest plans for the stockholders to

Tho company is now in the hands of a
receiver, that position being occupied
by tho Girard Life Insurance, Annuity
and Trust Co. of Philadelphia, and
many of the stockholders would like
the company to be relieved of the re-
ceivership. A petition is in the United
States court asking for the removal Of
the receiver.
The stockholders discussed plans and
decided to petition Judge Wales to
order the receiver to sell forthwith the
