Almost a Fire.

What might have been a very
destructive fire was narrowly avert.
cd Wednesday night. A lamp, at
Mrs Elizabeth Peery's, seemed
about to explode, and was thrown
out of doors, landing close to the
house of Mr.. o. G.. Emschwiller.
This threatened his home, in case
OF an explosion, and some one
again picked up the lamp, throw
ing it into the street. This time
the blazing lamp fell near enough
Col. Il. G.. Witten's stable to catch
a lot of hay, and a big fire seemed
iminent, MS Cofiee's livery stable
adjoined, and was filed with hay.
BY prompt action the fire was ex-
tinguished, but not until the entire
town, almost, was aroused. Had
the accident occurred later in the
night, the result might have been
serious.

AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE

$50 A. NJ, on Tuesday, December
18th, 1900 fire was discovered in the new
part of the residence of Jos. G. Jolls,
corner of Broad and Lockwood streets.
The discovery was made by Mr.. Jolls and
by his son who were aroused by the
smoke. The fire originated in the library
and was probably caused by slight de-
feet in the 1ue from the fire place, as
this was the only fire in that part Of the
house. The family all were aroused and
the children were taken care of by the
neighbors, although, thanks to the fact
that there was no wind, there never was
any danger of loss of life. The alarm
was given at the electric light station by
Miss Anna McColgan and the sounding of
the whistle soon summoned the Volunteer
Hose Company to the scene. Although
hampered by lot of defective hose and
by inability to open the plug in front of
the Clayton property, the firemen soon
had the flames under control The BRO
perty and furniture were insured in the
New Castle County Mutual Insurance
Co. and Messrs. Cleaver and Winslow of
the Company were in town on Thursday
and adjusted the loss, which amounted to
bout $125. Mr.. Jolls received a check
d the amount Of damages on Friday
n expresses himself as being pleased at
prompt action of the Insurance Com
7. Repairs will be made at once.
