Sensation.

Miss Camac, of New York, will he
His Bride TOInOrrOw---She
is Considered Very
Wealthy.

Fashionable society circles in this city
were stirred to a profound depth ycster-
day by the announcement that II. Vic.
tor Cause will marry Miss Camac, a
Young and wealthy New York society

in the handsome house now occupied by
David Lindsay, at the corner of Penn
sylvania avenue and Clayton street Mr..
Cause started the construction of the
house according to his own plans, but
the bride had the house torn down and
built to suit her fancy.
A year or two after their marriage,
society was shocked by their sudden
separation, about which centred an in.
teresting bit of scandal involving young
man prominent in fashionable circles.
Mrs. Cause left Wilmington and went
to New York. Last spring, through Hof-
fecker 4 Hoffecker, her attorneys, she
applied to the Legislature for divorce
from her husband, alleging incompat-
ability of temper on his part. Owing,
however, to alleged pressure by lobby
lists for fees to secure the passage of her
bill, she withdrew it and filed petition
with the Superior Court CT the county,
though not before her attorney was
called upon as II witness in an investiga-
ton started by the Legislature to ascer-
tain the truth Of the charges by lobby
lists to attempt to get money from her.
| Her bill hung fire in the Legislature at
the same time that the case of Mrs. W.
II. Acklan, of Cleveland, attracted 50
much attention.
Mrs. Cause finally secured divorce
through the Superior Court last fall, the
husband making no attempt to combat
her petition.

aS no one here knew anything about it
until yesterday. Mr.. Cause is an artist

A FIREMAN BADLY INJURED.
Clarence Smith, Of the Wash
ington. Falls From a Roof.
ROW OF HOUSES DESTROYED
Fire of supposedly Inccndiary
Origin Sweeps Through II
Block of Fra me
Buildings.

At . o'clock this morning fire broke
ont at 18th and Claymont streets, which
DESTROYED four houses and was still rag
ing at , o'clock.
Clarence Smith. member Of the
Washington Fire Company, was badly
injured by IL fall from the roof of one Of
the houses.
The connagration was discovered by
Officer Ward who was standing at the
corner of Twelfth and King streets.
Ward noticed the reflection of the flames
and rushing into the Phoenix Fire Com
panv's house notified the members.
The Phoenix Company reached Pine
street as the alarm was turned in from
box -, by Nathan Hill. All the district
companies responded and did good work.
While fighting the fire from the roof
of No, 81 Claynont street, Clarence
Smith, fl enan Of the Washingt on o.,
became stitled by the dense smoke anu
missing his footing fell from the caves
of the building. Fortunately the fire.
man struck a ladder in his descent and
thus his life was saved. Smith had
several ribs fractured and it is
thought that he is internally injured.
Nothing is known of the fires origin
and Miss Arnelid Forrest, who owns the
row of houses, cannot account for it, as
all Of the buildings destroyed are un-
tenanted.
1t is thought that tie blaze was the
work Of incendiarics.
The flames seemed to gain headway in
the walls between the buildings, and
this made the fire stubborn one to
fight.
At O'Clock the companies were
still at the scene Of the contlagration
and the fire vas not at that time under
control.
The loss is estimated at 5000, but
this is fully covered by insurance.
