THE TRANSFER SIGNED
Fire Companies Get Proceeds
Of Sale of Firemen's Farm.
TIDY SUM FOR EACH COMPANY
CHIEF ENGINEER SASSE DID NOT
INTEND TO BE OBsTINiATE-WlAs
IGNORANT OF THE FACTS-HIS-
TORY OF TINE FARM.

On Saturday might last each of the
nine fire companies of this city re-
ceived check from c. L. Ward fer
$666.67, than being the amount every
company was entitled to Of The fund
.accruing from the sale OF the fire
mems farm.
Some three years ago David Bush, a
philanthropic citizen of Wilmington,
feeling THAT he would like to contribute
something to the volunteer Fire Depart
ment, donated to them a farm OF 120
acres, situated about six miles out OF
the city on the Philadelphia pike. AT
the time of the deciding of this property
the fire companies were not empowered
to hold any real estate other than that
which was necessary for their actual
use, such as engine houses, stables
etc.
In order to avoid any complications
that might arise from the transfer Mr..
Bush selected one member from each
company 10 act as a board OF trustees.
These he named for two years, during
which time it was expected an act
would be passed by the Legislature az
lowing the companies to hold other
real estate.
This was done by the last session of
the Legislative body, and now the fire
companies can control a certain amount
of property which was fixed by law.
The farm, however, never has paid
and it was finally concluded to sell II
and divide the proceeds among the diff
lferent organizations. This was done
and the amount received from the sale
was $4,000.
At the expiration of the two years
trusteeship of the originally appointed
members OF the different companies
new ones were chosen in all cases ex-
cept two, the Friendship and Washing
ton, who retained their original trus-
tees.
George w. Sasse was selected to rep
resent the Washington company and
was afterwards rechOsen.
lAt the time of the sale Mr.. Sasse was
at Camp Meade with the First Della
ware Volunteers, and knew nothing O
the transaction. The transfer papers
which required tine signature Of everl
trustee, were forwarded to him by AT
torncy Ward for his signature. This h
refused top,ace upon them, as he was IL
Ignorance of the sale and returned
them to tine attorney. They were latter
forwarded to him again, however, by &
member of the board of trustees, ex-
planning the matter, and he at once
signed them. 1t is not definitely known
who bought the farm, as it was pur-
chased by Mr.. Ward, as attorney.

Congressman Gum.

Hon. James Gum, Congressman at
large, from the state OF Idaho, has re-
covered from his recent illness which
was caused by an accident, and again is
in the enjoyment of perfect health.
Mr.. Gum Is one of the most industri-
Gus men in Congress, and is at all times,
even when he was sickest, found at his
desk attending to his business.
To give some ideas of the labors of a
Congressman, Mr.. Gum sent out over
1900 letters to his constituents relative
TO garden seeds alone. He has been q
particularly active member since taking
his seat in Congress. He was an oppo-
nent OF the Bankruptcy Bill which was
intended to cripple the people of the
western states in favor of the money
oligarcy OF the east; and he voted
against the infamous Loud Bill, which
was introduced for the destruction OF
the country press; and was a very earn
est advocate of the Free Homes Bill.
He was defeated in the latter measure
but the subject is in position so it win
be an easy matter for 1t to be made a
law at the next session OF Congress,
Democrats and Populists being almost
solidly for the measure.
Mr.. Gum is very strong, ardent and
influential advocate OF bimetalism and
fayors the free coinage of silver and
gold at the ratio Of 16 to l. He knows
that the destruction OF half OF the
worlds money means the enhancement
of the price of the other half, and 1
consequent decrease of all commodities
