ARSON AND ROBBERY

AFTER BURGLARIZING SAMUEL
CHAMBERS HOUSE, THIEVES
SET FIRE TO THE BUILDING.
Burglars evidently have their own
way in Wilmington, as early yesterday
morning they entered the house Of
Samuel Chambers, and after robbing X
fired the building.
Mr.. Chambers son recently fell from
a walnut tree and is still suffering from
the injuries. Yesterday morning when
Mrs. Chambers arose to procure some
medicine for her son she detected the
odor of smoke. Mr.. Chambers was
aroused and upon going downstairs
found one of the chairs on fire and as
he entered the room the hot ashes fell
upon the carpet, igniting it. A guam
tity of papers that were In the room
had been piled on the chair and SET hre
to. The house was also ransasked and
$14 in money stolen, entrance being ef-
fected by forcing a shutter.
The fire is similar to one that wat
discovered recently on the porch OF Ar
chitect r. l.. Rice, Jr., on West Twelfth
street, when would-be burglars piled
several chairs ON top OF each other anC
lignited them. No clue to the burglars
has been found.

2 800 OF these people will be compelled
to leave there before the close OF navi-

will be but three steamers here to re-
turn before the season closes. Unless
the people can get away there will be
