HEAVY LOSS
BY FIRE..
Over $l25,0OO Worth Of
Property Wiped Out
by Fire Last Night
in This City.

Wilmington was visited by dis.
astrous fire last night that entailed
loss of $125,000. The works Of
the Delaware Hard Fibre Company
at Eleventh and Union streets. were
reduced to ashes last night. In the
same block were the works of the
Brandywine Machine Company and
the Talley on-Top Company. The
fire was discovered by night watch
man Jasper Burrell, colored, about
10 o'clock. The flames were then
shooting down the elevator shaft.
He then telephoned to manager
Charles A. Rupert and sent in an
alarm from 112 box. BY the time
the distict fire companies arrived
the works were burning tiercely.
AS soon as Chief Sasse arrived on
the scene he sent in general
alarm. The companies secured the
best possible positions but the in
fiammable nature of the contents of
the works caused the fire to burn
more fiercely and as chemicals were
in the works several small eXplo-
sions took place. After burning for
an hour the building was ruin
and then the walls fell. Nothing
could be seen but mass of twisted
machinery. and pieces of burned
timbers.
The origin of the fire is IA mystery.
There were number of men at
work in the building up to 80
O'Clock and it was while closing the
works that the fire was discovered.
The building occupied by the
Delaware Hard Fibre Company
was filled with valuable machinery.
Hard fibre manufactured for cleo
trical appliances was the most
valuable article destroyed. There
was some valuable machinery on
the second story used for the manu-
facture of trunks. Two small build
ings adjoining the works were
damaged by fire as we'll as three
freight cars with part of their con-
tents These were on the tracks of
the B. and 0. railroad. Linemen
were quickly on the scene and cut
the electric wires so that they
would not interfere with or injure
the firemen.
Manager Rupert stated that the
loss would be $125.0O0. He could
assign no cause for the fire. About
IS men will be thrown out Of work
on account of thf fire
While returning from the fire the
horse attached to the hose cart of
the Phoenix Fire Company ran
away on Delaware Avenue. At
Eleventh and Jackson streets the
wagon collided with a telegraph
pole and was damaged. The horse
broke loose from the wagon and ran
off.
The Delaware truck lost a cap off
a wheel while responding to the
alarm. The work Of the police at
the fire was excellent.
When the watchman discovered
the fire he called the Superintend-
ent, Mr.. Rupert and then notified
President William Swift before an
alarm had been turned in. This
caused general delay and the re-
suit was that a general conflagra-
tion took place where promptness
would have made the loss but trif-
ing. The watchman does not know
how the fire originated, the Super
intendent has no idea and they and
the insurance people seem to know
nothing about the fire except that
the place was burned and that the
insurance is about 100000.

W. c. CRANE.

William II. Cranes admirers it is
SAID will be greatly pleased with
the actors new play, A Rich Mans
Son, which is to ask attention at the
Opera House Oh Saturday evening
for the reason that it gives him op-
portunities for which he has been
longing for several seasons. Crane
gained his reputation as an actor
of comic scenes and situations. He
was given credit for eXacting hui
NOR from characters he played with
rare skill and extreme naturalness.
AS the perpetrator of joke or the
butt of one he was equally good and
everything that he has done has
been marked with artistic thought
and care. Now, in his new play
the comedian is credited with hav-
ing one OF those droll, diverting
characters that he revels in. Know
ing his natural aptitude to create
laughter he delights in the oppor-
tunities which are again offered
him in his new work and that he is
artistic In it goes almost without

PRICE IS CENTS
Ladies' Rainy Day or Cycle Skirt, 1877.
(Hints by May Manton.)

The comfort derived from the al
most universal adoption of the
/ rainv-day skirt has led the more
sensible and up-to-date woman to
favor it highly for long walks,
shopping expeditions as we'll as for
cycle purposes. Just as much, if
not more, care is taken in the gen
eral make-up of these as in the
regular more dressy skirt models,
the evenly rounded lower edge and
the correct tailor finish of machine
stitching stamping the correct
style.
Oxford gray double-faced cheviot
is here illustrated, the under side
showing fancy broken plaid black
and white, that is exceedingly ef-
fective.
The skirt fits smoothly across the
front and sides. becoming fullness
being arrangedin underlying plait
at the left side of the front. which,
with the foot, is deeply underfaccd
with the material. finished in strict
ly tailor style with rows of machine
stitching.
The right edge may be straight
or scalloped, the pattern providing
the correct outline for shaping.
Double or single-faced cloths in any
OF the doublc-faccd chcviots being
the most popular material at pres
cnt.
TO make this skirt in the medium
size will require two ard quarter
yards of material fiftv-four inches
wide. The pattern. No. 1877. is cut
in sizes for y. p, 26, 2S and 80
inch waist measure.
This pattern can be secured by
filling i'll the blank below and send
ing it TO REPUBLICAN Office with the
price.

STlNGY NEW YORK,

The Dewey arch in New York, has
been torn down. 1t was an imposing
and artistic piece of work and at the
time of it's erection the New Workers.,
in their excitement and enthusiasm
over the return of Dewey, vowed that
the timbers and stair of which it
was composed should give way 70
blocks Of marble. But, as every
body expected, their ardor has cooled,
and it is not believed that Dewey's
unherOic career in civil life since his
return, has had much to do with the
collapse of the permanent arch propo-
sition. None who remember the hui
initiating delays, which amounted to
a national scandal, in connection with
the completion of Grants tomb, at
Riverside park, can have much faith
in New York's public spiritedness.
Considering it's standing as the first
city in the United States and the num-
Der of wealthy people who claim it as
their home, New York is about the
stingiest city in the country. New
York could well afford TO perpetuate
the Dewey arch as a municipal under
taking, or any one of a thousand
residents of the city could have paid
the cost and not missed the money.
That none of them have had generos-
ity or public spirit enough to do this
and that the arch has been torn down.
is to be deplored. 1t was esteemed
by good judges as about the only work
of real art in the way of street Or
namentation in the city and as such
deserved a better fate than to be torn
down and divided among secondhand
dealers, relic hunters and rubbish
heaps.

That an autocracy has it's advan-
tages is attested by the report that the
police of Kieff, in Russia, have taken
the theatres of that city in hand, They
have decided that the pauses between
the acts must not be longer than
Is minutes. The police also dis
covered that some of the actors were
being applauded far beyond their real
merits. They therefore decided that
no actor may be applauded more than
three times during the same per-
Torrance. There can be no dispute
about the wisdom of such regulations.
Few theater goers enjoy long waits
between the acts and as for the en-
core fiends it would be a blessing if
the could be rounded up and banished
to Kieff in a body.
