business IN Wilmington.
The Hygeia Ice Co. has been or
gapized and will enter the ice business
in this city, commencing about April
18th.
The ice business Of Wilmington has
grown from u small beginning to very
large proportions. 1t was started by
BENJAMIN Webb, who cut ice from the
old city reservoir, on the lot where the
Court House now stands. The ice was
dumped in hole back of Mr.. Webb's
residence on West Eleventh street.. ana
there pounded into small pieces WIN
malet, the idea then being that this
was the only way in which ice eouia
be kept. 1t was then sold around we
city, being delivered in a cart drawn ny
one horse, and driven by eolored man
Thus was the entire community sefveu'
Now about 90 two-horse teams are en-
ployed in the local ice custom OF VII
mington, from 10000 to 40,0OO tons per
year being required.
The sale of ice in Benjamin Webb s
time was by the bushel, or parts OF q
bushel, and there is still on the CITY
ordinance book an ordinance, passed IN n
June, 1916, providing that there shall
be 70 pounds of ice to the bushel.
In former days the leo was cut from
the old basin, the Brandywine in the
vicinity of Walnut street, ard from the
Barley mill dam. Later, it was brought
from distance from the upper
Brandywine and from the Hudson
River and New England States. Then
came the manufactured ice.
The Hygeia leo Go. will manufac'
ture ice. Its name is suggestive fol
this business. Hygeia was the god,
dess of health, and was the daughter O.
Esculapius, the god of medicine ane
healing. Such a name should guaran
tee ice of the purest quality.
The Hygeia Co. will construct.
plant with a capacity of 100 tons OF ic'
daily, and will be equipped with thu
most modern appliances. 1t will u.s.

WiImingtonians experienced variety
of weather changes Sunday. In the
morning the temperature was warm and
Aprjl showers prevailed. Early in the
afternoon the atmosphere resembled
summer weather but terrific blow,
which was accompanied by heavy
downpour of rain, and also lightning
and thunder, had cooling effect, and
by night the weather was more on the
winter order. Fences were blown down
in different parts of the city. the great
est damage in that direction being at
the old Ferry rolling mill, on Head
street. en- Fourth street between Madi-
son and Monroe, and on Market street
between Eighteenth and Nineteenth.
Limbs were also blown from trees and
some chimneys were toppled over. The
roof of the residence of Otto Rolf, at
Seventh and Scott streets, was badly
damaged. A trolley wire at Front and
Market streets was broken and traffic
was delayed about 20 minutes.
During the night the weather be-
came very cold and ice quarter of an
inch thick was formed in some places,
while many pavements were covered
with coating which made walking
dangerous early on Monday, Genuine
March weather prevailed Monday and
the dust made walking more or less un
pleasant.
Two barges belonging to Hughe:

their moorings at Bellevue and iioatee

could not be told whether it was that
of a male or female, was taken from
the ruins. The bone was taken out of
heap of rubbish at the entrance to
the hotel.
Jennie McKenna, reported missing,

MArauders.
CORTLAND +. Pierson, No. 913 Market
street, had thrilling experience with
burglars shortly after O'Clock Saturday
morning, at his residence, No. 29l3
Market street. BY his presence of mind,
cool manner and quick action, he
nipped robbery in the bud.
At about /. 10 O'Clock he was awak-
ened by noise on the first floor that
sounded like men walking about and
talking in an undertone. After listen
ing for u few minutes he was con-
WINGED that his suspicious we're correct,
and, arming himself with a revolver,
crept down stairs in his night clothing.
When he reached the first floor he
noticed that the shutters of one of the
front windows was open and saw two
forms moving about in the darkness.
The intruders evidently realized Mr..
Persons presence as soon as he had
set foot en- the ground floor. for when
he saw them they were in the act of
taking their departure, but were still
inside the room, and Mr.. Pierson shot
at them. Both plunged out the front
window and escaped
In running for the window the men
overturned d large piano lamp and com
pletely wrecked it, but as far as is
| known nothing of value was stolen.
After the excitement had subsidized Mr..
Pierson began an investigation and he
discovered that the mon had beer

room ard had been using matches fol

all over the carpet, but, fortunatel,

Five Valuable Animals Perish IN Blaze

Five Valuable Animals Perish IN btaze
at r. Binmenthai 6 Cos. Stable.
f. Blumenthal & Co.'S large stable
on Guthrie's lane, near the causeway
beyond Market street bridge, was de-
stroyed by fire Sunday afternoon, to
gether with five valuable horses. The
fire was discovered shortly after 4
O'Clock by boy and an alarm was sent
in from box l42. Before the tiremen
arrived Horace Scribner, the stable
man, had rescue three horses from the
burning stable, not without risk to
himself. In an effort to release one it
fell on him, but he was able to wriggle
from under it and crawl through fire
and smoke to the door. The smoke
probably suffocated the five horses be-
fore the heat burned them.
The high wind that was prevailing
at the time blew the sparks SO that
apprehension was felt for the safety of
other buildings in the vicinity, but
fortunately the fire was confined to the
stable. The Fame Fire Co. had its
engine so near the fire that there was
danger of the wheels being scorched,
but screen was placed between the
engine and the flames and no damage
resulted to the apparatus.
The firemen were hampered by the
muddy condition Of the street and by
the crowds of people which gathered
near the fire. Persons are advised to be
careful in the future not to interfere
with the firemen, whose work is tc
fight fire and not to furnish spectators
with choice points OF view.
| In addition to the horses, a number
| of sets of harness were destroyed.
The loss may reach $500.

The box caused him to lose his balance
and he fell and was dragged for a dis

1870 pounds, pulled Todd from his dan
