A Fire Yestirdsy Afternoon

There was a fire yesterday afternoon
for the first time in about fifteen days.
No doubt, this dearth of fires, which is
very satisfactory, is owing to the fact
that the flames are tired of being des-
patched so mercilessly and in such
short order by our efficient paid fire
department.
The alarm yesterday was sent in at
3:45 O'Clock in the afternoon from box
IA, Mutt and Brunswick streets. The
fire was located on the roof of a one
story frame dwelling, on Front street,
between Hanover and Brunswick, but
was soon put out. Mr.. Pat Glavin
owns the house, which was damaged
to the amount OF S., and Robert
Royal, colored, is the occupant.
The fire is said to have been caused
by sparks from h smoke stack at the
factory of the Carolina Cooperage
COMPANY.

good impression in w city.

present, and delightful refreshments
were served.

Armstrong; office employees, presented
a handsome silk umbrella as a token
of their sincere regard for him and as
an expression of their high apprecia-
ton of his uniformly courteous and
kindly relations with them during his
management. Mr.. Pennington made ap-
%propriate remarks in making the pres
emit, and Mr.. Armstrong responded ap-
proprately, expressing his thanks for
and his high appreciation Of the gift.
The umbrella has a gold head and it
was handsomely engraved with the
initials of Mr.. Armstrong and the date
of its presentation.
General regret at Mr.. Armstrong; de-
parture was expressed by all. The
evening was made enjoyable by
vocal selections by Miss Carrie White
and Mr.. "a IS. Holden, instrumental mu-
sic by Mr.. Joe C%aruthers and Mr.. Dan
Horgan and others and a graphOphnne
entertainment by Mr.. Fountain, of
ingly pleasant all round

man Pearson has written to leading
populists who We're at last weeks con-
ference, saying he has been informed
that at the meeting the following res
olution was adopted:
THAT the spirit of the recommended
tory address by the national populist
chairman and silver republican party
invoking union of all forces favoring
reform of financial system is cordially
endorsed, since UGH reform was am
inspiration of the populist party, and
is now it's greatest purpose"

The DEFENSE OF WILMINGTON
A War Department Oficia1 Here Looking
into the Situation-Strong Garrisons to
Defend tho Approaches to Wilmington

An officer of the war department
was in Wilmington yesterday looking
into the matter of the defense of VIII
mington in the event OF war with
Spain. He kept the details of his bust
ness quiet, but it is understood that
the situation was investigated and
that measures will be taken to make
his port safe against attack.
Tt is learned that in the event of hos
Titles, strong ~garrisons will be placed
at Fort Caswell, at the mouth of the
Cape Fear at the Rocks (Fort Fisher,
for the protection of the New Inlet
breakwater, and at Wrightsville to
protect that portion of the Goa from
an invasion.
II hostiilties begin and Wilmington
ia attacked. torpedoes and submarine
mines will be laid in h channel at
the bar, in the offing and bay at the
Rocks, and in the channels at Mason
boro and Moore's Inlets, and along the
coast. In in the event OF the capture
of Fort Caswell, the channel Of the
Cape Fear to Wilmington will be quick
ly laid with torpedoes and batteries
wifi be constructed on both sides OF the
river. Even should the Spanish cap
ture Fort Caswell, which is hardly con-
sfdered as a contingency, it is not be-
lieved the enemy would ever be able to
reach Wilmington, as was the cas- in
the war Of 1912 with Great Britain.
