Burned.

The pumping station of the Ches
apeake & Delaware Canal, at Ches
apeake City, caught fire at about
Ii O'Clock Friday night. An
alarm was given and the town hay-
ing no fire apparatus a bucket
brigade was formed and the Sin.
gerly Fire Company of Elkton tele
phoned for, which responded with
engine and about fifty members,
making the run of six miles over a
rough road in less than an hour.
At midnight a steamer passing
through the canal was stopped and
its fire pumps put to work on the
flames. After about two hours
work the fire was gotten under
control. Both engine rooms were
burned out and considerable dam.
age done to the water wheel. The
fire is thought to have originated
from an overheated stove.
The loss is variously estimated
from $1,000 to $4,000, which is
probably covered by insurance.
The machinery in the engine room
was badly damaged. The plant
was destroyed by fire IL years ago.
The Chesapeake & Delaware
canal runs from Chesapeake City to
Delaware City and connects the
Chesapeake bay with the Delaware
bay. 1t is used by the Ericsson
