l02 West Fifth street, ahuut O'Clock
Saturday morning caused less than S2Oc
damage. On account OF tho Find OF
material in tho cellar, nm explnsion was
feared while the fire was in Trogres4,
and for that reason precautions were
taken to keep the gathering crowd OUT
of harms way.
AS 10 the origin of the fire, Mr..
Mitchell says that ore Uf his employees
told him that a barrel OF benzine paint,
such as ia used on roofs, was running
over, md Mr.. Mitchell went down the
cellar TO sue about it. In order to sue
moro clearly he struck match, by the
light of which he could make out the
liquid spreading over the floor. As he
turned TO leave the scene, the glowing
head of the match foil upon the thin
coat OF spreading paint and ignitel it
like n Hash. Then Mr.. Mitchell loft the
seems very quickly, escaping from the
cellar by the front opening. Word was
at once tBiephoned to the police sta
ton, at his order; Lineman John u.
Simmons of the Wilmington City Elec-
trio Co., who was working 10 the
the Washington Fire Co., and an alarm
was ssnt in from box No. l2, in front
of the City Hall
meanwhile. Mr.. Mitchell AMI his
employees had left tbs building, and
smoke was pouring from the uellarway.
Capt Kane and corps of officers were
on tho scsno hefpro tho firemsn, and
upon being informed liy MIR. Mitchell
OF the possible danger of explosion of
material 10 the cellar, cleared the spec.
tators from in 'front.' Of the establish
ment, and when the Washington chom.
iral engine and hose wagon arrived
checked them at Shiplcy street. When
the Friendship hose wagon reached
Fifth and Shipley streets, however, the
Washington hosswagon made u dash
past the danger point, followed by the
Friendship. The Fame Fire Co. ar
rived at the Orange street end of the
block. and soon the companies were
throwing watHr into the cellar.
The police roped the street of and
kept the crowd back and the firemen
worked unimredad. About Is minutes
after the alarm was sounded. the
'out" signal was given. but there still
seemed to be some fire, which soon
gave way before stream from the

Ahe uiloru herhlu fkptAinH now some OF

Milford Herald, Jan. 7th.
We may just as well say, while
speaking on this matter. that the late
teller of the First National Bank, pre-
vious to the defalcation, was a popular
man and well liked in the town of
Dover. X II Therefore it is not
surprising that other persons should
also have had confidence in him, and
upon some occasions he did come to
the editor OF this papHr and with MIN
exchange checks. to what amount or to
what extent We do not now remember.
We do not believe that it amounted to
the sum suggested by this paper in
Wilmington. In tho light OF subse-
quent events it was an error to have SO
accommodated him. ITO err is human,
to forgive is divine. Mr.. Cooper
never gave a check upon that bank
with any intention to do wrong. Any
man who says, auggestH or intimates
that he knowingly did dishonorabl e
act, or that he ever profited dollar by
the losses or profits Of that bank, lies
10 his throat aud the truth is not in
him.

Potato Growers Meeting.

An enthusiastic gathering of potato
growers met at the courthouse last
Saturday afternoon for the purpose of
organizing themselves into an aSSO-
citation, the purpose of which would
be to better look after the interests
OF the potato growing business of
Wisconsin. Considerable was said by
different persons present, and from
what was there said we judge that
the purposes Of the organization are
the education of it's members: First,
in the art Of potato raising and Sec
Ond, in the still more difficult art of
potato selling. They were strong in
their denunciatiOn of the methods of
the commission men in handling the
potato business, and from the facts
there stated it would appear that
there is good foundation for their
denunciatiOnS.
A temporary organization was
formed and committee appointed to
draft a constitution and provide for a
meeting and permanent organization
at later date. From the enthusiasm
shown at that meeting it is apparent
that the organization means business,
and if they are judiciOus in their
methods Of work they Will undOubt-
edly do a great deal Of good to the
potato growers.
The date of their next meeting will
be published in the various papers of
the state and they hope that the
representation at their next meeting
will be general.
The men who are pushing the
organization have had experience in
such matters and are enthusiastic
workers, and the organization will I'M
| dOubtedly be a success.
Watch the papers for the date of
the next meeting and attend it.
