City Railway Co.'S Car Sheds
A car shed owned by the Wilmington
City Railway CO., at Fifth and Union
streets was destroyed by fire Thursday
evening. Two summer cars and five
horse cars, which were stored in the
building, were also consumed. The
origin Of the fire is mystery. 1t was
discovered by boys, who went to the
alarm box at Fourth and Scott streets,
from which point the fire department
was notified. By the time the engines
arrived, however, the building was en-
veloped in flames and the firemen were
unable to save it from total destruction.
The trolley wires running into and
past the building fell to the ground and
for time there was some danger from
that source, but as far as could be
learned nobody was hurt.
The loss is estimated at $l2, COO,
which is partially covered by insurance.
The building was used as store house
for cars which were not in service.

better than lotions to restore the skin

Old OCEANS shore,

just like the seashore is to be the
bottom of the new pond now being
built by the West Chester Trolley Road
Co., at Lenape, and it is to be as soft
to the feet of the bathers as the beach
at any point along the Atlantic coast.
All this proposed Transformation is
to be brought about by the use of an
imported beach. This beach is to be
brought to Lenape in sections and a
largo number Of cars will be required
to transport the sand.
When the excavations for the pond are
completed it will have level bottom
throughout. The water will range in
depth from threo feet at the upper por.
ton to nine at the lower, and will be
held in check by strong concrete
breast.
Lenape will be the favorite summer
resort on the line of the Wilmington
& Northern railroad next summer.
