DRY HOUSE
DESTROYED.
Fire In One of 6. Wesley
Weldin's Buildings
Causes q Loss of
$4,000.

Shortly before midnight fire was
discovered in the drying house
of c. Wesley Weldin, morocco
manufacturer and despite the eff
cient service of the fire department
loss amounting to 5000 was the
result. The factory is situated on
Conrad near Jackson street and
the blaze was discovered by pass
erby and he informed Officer Payne
who sent in an alarm from box Is.
BY the time the companies arrived
the structure which was half brick
and nalf frame was in flames. The
tiremen worked hard and succeed
ed in having the flames under con-
troll in half an hour. People living
in the neighborhood had retired
for the night and were badly scar
ed by the fire. The origin Of the
fire is a mystery. The dry house
contained considerable quantity
of skins. All the district engines
were at work on the building and
tine water supply was good so that
tells the secret of the confirming of
the fire to the one building. Mr..
W. has an insurance OF $4,000, a
part in the Farmers Insurance
Company of Philadelphia, the New
Castle County Mutual, and the
Farmers Mutual Insurance Com
pany of the State of Delaware.

If what Jonathan S. Willis said
yesterday in his speech which he
made before the Republican conven-
ton be true, there are only 4 very
few Union Republicans in Kent
county. He said he had never done
anything in his lie in politics that
he was ashamed Of. That the
reason why he left the Union ke-
publican party was because it was
one man S party. He made up
his mind after the session of the
Legislature that met in Dover last
year. had utterly failed to elect
Republican United States
Senator, that he could not support
party that was controlled by one
man who stood ia the wav of the
success OF that party unless his
ambitions were satisfied. He be
lieved in the grand principles of the
Republican party. TWAS the party
that has accomplished prosperity
after Democratic failure, when
work shops had been closed down
all over the United States. He
then said that he wanted the boilers
who went out in 1896, to understand
that they did not forestal him. He
talked OF his Republicanlsm and
said that he was a stalwart before
the men who have talked about him
were dry behind the ears. In lact
be made an honest confession why
he returned to the folds of the Reg
ular Republican party. He was
not ashamed of any of his previous
actions and was always honest in
what he had done. He freely &C
knowledged his forgiveness to Will
liam Michael Byrne for what he
had said about him in the previous
convention held at Dover and in fact
The parson.politician appeared
highly pleased with himself and
everybody general. He had been
consulted by President Mckinley
and he considered the President

iaska. This weird island is shroulc ia
: fog II months out of the IL. Septel. her
is the one fine month, and on IN average
there are but seven days of bright sun
shine during this glimpse Of summer.
The reason of this gloom is the meeting
of the warm flood of the Japan current
with the icy draft of the Arctic, which
swirls through Bcring strait.
More than one place in the world Is
limited to very occasional glimpses of
the sun. The fogs on the banks of New
fonndland are famous. They are spe-
cially bad during the fishing season.
Iceland sometimes has whole sum-
mer Of thick fog This happens every
four or five years, when a number Of
big icebergs float over from Greenland
and ground on the northern coast of the
island. On such occasions the hay crop
In Iceland is Il total failure, and SO, ow-
ing to the chill of the waters, is the fish
ing.
A part Of the foothills Of Perm Is
STEPPED in mist from May to October.
But here the fog is kindly, for it takes
the place Of rain. Above the height of
1.2CO feet it is replaced by violent rain.
On some farms half the area is rri-
gated by fog, the other by showers.
L0ndon's fogs have been almost as
thick as they are today for over two
centuries, but used not to last 50 long.
1t was in 1873 that what was perhaps
the worst known lasted from Dee. 3 to
IA. Over 40 deaths by accidents in the
streets and Is by drowning were at
tributed to it. Its most strange effect
was upon the fat cattle at the Isinst.n
show. They all got i'll and exhibited
symptoms of poisoning.
In the heath districts Of north Ger
many some 10000 acres Of peat are
burned over every year. The smoke will
drift from this 100 miles without losing
much Of its density and constitutes what
Germans call the hohrallch. In dry
summer ii hangs over the country for
weeks.
Volcanoes are sometimes responsible
for fogs which cover millions Of acres
at time. In 1912 the ash dust from s..
Vincent darkened the sky over the whole
group Of the Barbados for many days.
In 1884 all south Italy and part SI
Sicily were plunged in gloom for Two
weeks by an outbnrst from Mount Etna.
The most extraordinary fog ever known
appeared at Copenhagen on May n,
1888. and, spreading all over Europe,
covered France early in June. II was
noticed from Russia to Canada and last
ed in some places for four months. 1t
veiled everything in pale blue haze and
was not affected by rain or wind.

Man Who Will Tell About

vile, who has decided to tell OH the
witness stand all he knows about
the plot TO assassinate Governor
Goebel, left here this afternoon for
Winchester, from whence on Friday
he will 90 to Frankfort to testify
for the Commonwealth in the case
OF Caleb Powers and others who
are charged with completely i'll the
murder of William Goebel.
The reason Goebel went back to
Winchester. 1t is said. is that he
was followed here this morning by
three men, one OF whom had threat
cned to kill him. He will stay in
a safe place at Winchester and he
told a fri nd before leaving that he
had no idea any one would attempt
TO kill HIM before Friday.
A gentleman who came here to-
day from Beattyvil!e says that
"Taliow Dick" Combs is there
conducting a barber shop and has
not gone into hiding, as was re.
ported.
1t is stated here tonight that a
liberty league was formed here TO-
day to resist the action OF the
prosecuting attorneys in arresting
prominent persons suspected OF
being implicated in the killing of
Goebei. The meeting was
secret.

COLONEL HENRY A. DUpoNT was
a happy man yesterday and he had
every cause to be. Never has there
been such Il harmonious and repre-
sentative Republican convention
gathered at Dover as on Wcdnes-
day. Levi c. Bird paid the conven-
ton that compliment and made Il
speech that electrified his hearers,
and put the writer in mind of the
Republican conventions that had
assembled at Dover in years past
when the grand old party was uni
ted and arrayed fighting the Demo-
cratic party instead of lighting each
other and calling one another black
guards, boodlers and thieves. The
writer has attended numerous Re-
publican conventions but never be-
fore has he sat in convention that
was so harmonious and representa-
tive as the Republican convention
that met in session at Dover yester.
day. II showed that the leading
Republicans in the State are once
more taking an interest in politics
and predict that the Regular Re.
publican party will sweep the State
from Wilmington to Rehoboth. The
olive branch will have to be handed
out by the Regulars and accepted
by the Union Republicans before
the party will be united and SUCCESS
crown our efforts With party sue
cess the Republican party will be
successful and elect nearly every
official in New Castle. Kent and
SUSSEX counties.

Denials Met by ailirmations of The
asreene County Story-Company' i
Options are not Closed.

O. A. Blackburn, superintendent Of
mines for the Monongahela River Con-
solidated Coal and Coke Company was
seen regarding the story Of the lost
coal vein in Greene county and con-
flrmed the facts as printed In the Dis
patch yesterday. He said;
Essentially 1t was true. Now
that the facts are out there is no rea-
son why they should be hid. The
geological survey reports show just
exactly that s'faultn in the formation
the course OF the vein. We have been
unable to relocate it, and have come
to belief that the Pittsburg seam
actually does not run through the
county,
+. l.. Robbins, President Of the
Pittsburg Coal Company, also sup
ported the theory that the Pittsburg
coal vein was lost in Greene county
and that the mineral there was de-
posted in shallow pockets. seThere
was slight mistake made In the
publication in that our company is
not such heavy investor in the new
field. We did take some options on
property there, but never closed them
for the reason that our people were
skeptical as TO the extent OF the de-
posits, am glad we got out in time. .
The whole matter mas created quite
a little CONSERVATION among the num-
erous investors in Greene county coal.
Some who have been caught pretty
heavily-one man said to have $1,000
acres OF it--haye denied that the seam
runs out there and say that they are
satisfied with their purchases. Pitts

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
Preliminary Work For its Preparation
Begun.

Secretary Garvin, OF the State
board OF agriculture, is now sending
out to farmers and other persons in
terested in agriculture all over the
State blank circular forms, on which
he expects to obtain considerable data
for the annual report OF the board, on
the preparation OF which he is now
about to begin. The questions cover
all the subjects which Will be treated
Of in the report, and If properly an
swered will provide much interesting
data. The circulars have also been
sent to county clerks, assessors and
other county officials.
Chapter 43 OF the Acts of 1895 and
part of section 5, in speaking of the
duties and rights OF the State board
OF agriculture, says:
They shall have authority to re-
quest Of any State official or any OFF,
cial in any county, city or town, any
and all statistical and other,informa-
tion the board may desire. 1t is here
by made the duty of all State and
county officers to assist in every way
possible, and cooperate with the
board, upon their request, to the end
that the welfare and interest of agri-
culture may be promoted.
