A BIG BLAZE AT THE BEAR
Joseph 7. Coughs General Store and
Contents Entirely Destroyed.
ALSO, STOREHOUSES AND STABLE
Societies and a Sunday-school
Are Sufferers.
LOSS,ABOUT $4,000; LIGHT INSURANCE

Bear Station, Dec. 5.-A destructive
fire broke out about 2 O'Clock this
morning in the general store of Joseph
Il. Cough and burned itself entirely
out, destroying the store and contents,
d static and two warehouses. The
home of Mr.. Cough was saved by the
heroic work of neighhcrs who labored
with will while their clothing almost
fioze upon their backs, and in some
instances the heat from the burning
store set the clothing of the men on
fire.
The main building was about % by
30 feet, and had an addition OF 10 feet
in tho rear, running the full width OF
tho building. The storehouses, two in
number, almost adjoined the main
building On the east side of these
wore the stables and carriage houses,
which were destroyed. The contents of
the stable ard carriage houses were re-
mo"ed to safe place.
Bucket brigades saved the icehouse
near the lumber sheds, and much water
was used on the latter sheds, thus pre-
venting much heavier loss.
The main store carried general mer
chandise from pin to clothing, grocer
les and drugs. In the rear were two
tanks, one containing coal oil and the
other linseed oil. These did not ex-
plode, as they had proper vent from
the top. The lids blew oil and the oils
burned over.
The metal cutters on the building
were melted off, while the men at
tempted to reach them with buckets of
water.
The store was two stories in height
and the upper floor was used as meet
ing room by Industry Lodge, No. ~,
/. o. o. f. The paraphernalia. with
books and other property, were entirely
destroyed. Loss about $3.50; no in
surance.
The Eden NJ. E. Sunday school also
met in this building and lost an organ
and library valued at $3.50.
New Castle Grange, No. 81. Patrons
of Husbandry, also met in this build
ing and will lose SO.
The sparks from the fire we're carried
a distance of several thousand feet,
and in some places fences 500 or Cox
feet away were set on fire and con
sumed.
The fire was discovered by G. G.
Lewis, operator of the Delaware rail
road. who was awakened by the luria
light from the burning store. He aros'
and ran to the room of Mr.. Cough anc
after awakening him ran to the porch
in the front Of the stole and awakened
the neightors by the ringing of thu
large farm bell. The railroad standpiE,
formed valuable savior as water wa
drawn from it in large quantities.
Word Mas telegraphed to Wilmington
for help, but when the stables caugh
fire all hope of saving those portion
Of the burned buildings were abandon
ed, and as the wind was blowing ava
from the lumber sheds the order 70
help was cancelled.
The loss is estimated at about IS, 00C
and is only partially insured in tn
Kent County Mutual and Textile c
Philadelphia. No cause can be sssigne
for the fire, as the stove was situate
i some distance from where the blnz
started. The safe was in the hottest {
, tho fire. 1t contained several books an
, bills of small denominations, whic
1 we're found intact.

AN lNGENDlARY FIRE.
outbuiIdinss aud stock on the Jason Davis
Farm Burned.


Farm Burned.
A fire of incendiary origin occurred
Tuesday morning about 3 o. clock on tho
Jason Davis farm, situated near Farm
hurst, and about three miles from this
city. The loss will amount to about
81, 600, part of which is covered by in
suance in the New Castle County
Mutual Insurance Go. the fro was
discovered in the stable about 3 O'Clock
by Arthur Chlllas, who has general
charge Of the place and serves the
products of the dairy in this city. An
effort was made to save the stock, but
only part of it was rescued. Two COWS
were burned TO death and ~ cows SO
badly scorched that it is thought sew
OF al of them will have to bB killed.
Three horses were also burned and
another badly scorched, while three
Others were singed. Three calves were
also lost in the flames.
Three largo barns, granery and SOW
eral sheds aud outbuildings were do
stroyed, with most vi their contents.
Wagons and flaming implements were
also consumed Tho contents Of the
grainery were 1000 bushels OF corn, and
several hundred bushels of wheat, So
tons of hay, GO tons of straw, 200
bushels of oats and the crop of 81 acres
OF fodder.
1t is said two men in a buggy wero
seen going out of the lano leading to
the premises shortly before the flames
broke out and several ears Of corn were
found near the gate, where they turned
out into the road. Tho supposition is
that thu men had been at the barn
stealing corn.
One of the best horses ON the Place
had been harnessed and attached to a
wagon before the fire started. Horse
and wagon were found in the lane and
it is believed the person or persons who
fired the place intended to steal the
team, but were frightened away before
they had time to drive it off. The
blaze evidently originated in the stable
near where the horse had been.
The farm is occupied by the famil,
of the late Jason Davis. There is 81
insurance of So, 200 on the blilding.
and contents, $1,000 with the Farmers
and 81, 600 with the New Castle Count,

stock. which, it IS understood, wer
also insured.

that any live man on the farm could

Mr.. Daily stated Notwithstanding
the contention that there was not a

Mr.. Mahoney commended that IL WAS
wrong to keep farmers, or so-caiico
farmers, ON The farms who would ONLY
raise or make returns OF about IVY
bushels of wheat where they should
have at least 500 bushels.
Mr.. Hanse stated that some farmers
do not Try TO farm their lands and
that they havo run down. The pro,
ducts arc taken to Wilmington anu
there is nothing placed on the farms
to keep them up.
u Mr.. McGrory said he had rs much

tons and he expected Others to do
