A FREE AMBULANCE.
Satisfactory Service to Be Given
the People.
WILL CARRY A PHYSICIAN.
New Ambulance of Phoenix Fire Com
pany Can BE Ordered by Telc-
phone by Any One.

Wilmington now has an ambulance.
A free ambulance. One that is at the
service of the people and not merely tc
those that are financially able to use it..
This ambulance can be found at the new
home of the Phoenix Fire Company and
responds to any and all calls in any and
all parts of the city. 1t not 60 at the
ringing of the fire alarm unless the am
bulanee call accompanies the alarm and
when it does respond to a call a physi-
clan will always be found on the box.
This city has for some time had
several ambulances, but the service given
has been of a very unsatisfactory nature.
They have been kept at places where a
horse has, at sometime when the am
bulance was needed, been unattainable.
One was kept at the transfer stables and
in several instances when all ambulance
call has been turned in, all the horses
have been in use and a wait Of perhaps
twenty minutes or more was necessary.
Then, when the ambulance was OBJ
tanned the person or persons ordering it
had to pay s. for its use, and on several
occasions the police patrol has been
used in cases where the ambulance was
needed and seeing a person in the
"hurry-up' wagon has often had mis-
leading impression. The Phoenix Fire
Company are going to have a telephone
put in thir house and will place cards in
all parts OF the city giving directions in
regard to their ambulance. Anyone
desiring to order the ambulance has only
to 60 to the nearest telephone and call
up the Phoenix Company and ask for it.
The use of the wagon will cost nothing.
1t will respond to all calls.
\ physician will accompany the am
bulance on every occasion and by this
arrangement, an order for the 'llumane
wagon" will also be call for Il physi |
cian
This new ambulance is Il great thing
for the city and the people should show
their appreciation for it. As the rail
roads will perhaps have more occasion
to use it than any one else, they should |
not be slow in showing their apprccia-
ton Of the work OF the gallant tircmen
for Them and the community.
The ambulance is now at the service
of the people, but will be more easily
accessible when the telephone is placed
in position.

The people in the vicinity of Second
and Madison streets, were awakened
shortly after one O'Clock Sunday morn
ing by wild cries in the street below.
As the startled residents, half awake
gmspcd the dire import of the agonizing
sounds they sprang to the windows and
looking down into the street saw a man
writhing in convulsions upon the pave
mcnt.
Two or three men hastily throwing on
some clothing ran to the spot. The man
was writhing as though in the utmost
agony and paper lying on the pave
ment at his side gave suggestive evidence
as to the cause.
1t took the combined strength of sew
eraF men to control the man. He was
recognized as James McGovern and was
finally overpowered and taken to his
home on South Monroe street where he
continued to scream and yell at the top
of his voice.
Various attempts to relieve him were
made but without success as McGovern
resisted, wildly reiterating his intention
of killing himself
In the midst OF the excitement officer
S d. Scott began at once to interro-
rcgatc McGovcrn as to what poison he
had taken and where he had procured it.

ed tablets. McGovern' wouldn't believe
him and continued to indulge in convu!-
sions with all the symptoms OF arsenic
poison. He was finally convinced how
ever by seeing his friends eating Curse
nic' with evident enjoyment.
As the fact dawncd upon him that in
stead of dying in agony in the midst OF
Svmpathzing and fearful friends, he
was simply furnishing Il large sized bit
Of clioyncnt.
With dissustcd air he rose from the !
curb on which he had been laid and in
formed the crowd that he "was damn |
glad he had so many friends anyhow"
The whole affair seems to have been
4 drunken whim and there is general
laugh in the vicinity. One man, how
ever, says that McGovern will have to
pay for the big pane of glass in his
second story window. In his haste to
see what was the matter when awak-
,ned by McGovcrn's cries he stuck his
nead through the window which he in
lis hurry neglected to raise.

SaIted Ore.

1t is not generally known that it is
possible to salt ore with gold just as it
is possible for an INSCRIPTIONS man to
salt the mine in which gold is found.
In the one case the fraud is compare
lively easy to detect, while in the other
it would defy even an expert. and there
fore shareholders, induced by the over
fiattering reports of perfectly honest
assayer, could be readily taken in. The
gentleman who demonstrated this pos.
sibility is Mr.. J @. johnson of AIDE
laide, Australia, who, making expert
ments with different salts of gold,
found that he could produce quite
natural looking specimens of gold bear
ing quartz from stones whose previous
assay showed that they contained no
particle Of gold. Furthermore, the gold
penetrates the stone in the most natural
manner possible. Indeed, pieces of this
artificially produced gold quartz were
exhibited some little time ago at the

The Awful Carib Fish.

A traveller in Venezuela gives an in

Orinoco country. He says the party sew
carib fish, which are the most ferocious
inhabitants of the water known. The
fish are not over IA inches long, but
they travel in schools. Their teeth are
three cornered. Any living object which
attracts their attention is attacked with
fury. Mr.. Thompson tells of an Indian
woman who entered the water to fill a
bucket She was attacked by the fish
and reached shore only to die in 10
minutes. The flesh was literally torn
from her body. Mr.. Dart, who was
with Mr.. Thompson, caught one of the
fish and pulled it upon the bank. He
held the carib under his foot while he
pointed at the peculiar teeth with his
finger. With a quick movement the car

frequently have been known to bite Or
binary fishhooks in two.
Another fish which the party cften
came across was the. morocoto, the fla
vor of which is like Lake Superior
whitefish, only more delicate. The mo-
rocoto is provided with molar teeth and
subsists on vegetable matter, which it
thoroughly masticates before swallow
