RESCUED FROM
DR0W Ming.

Fenwick Island, Md, Aug. o.
Great excitement was caused Thurs =
day morning on the beach at Fen.
wick Island Methodist Protestant
Campaigning at the height Of the
bathing hour by what threatened to
be a most appalling drowning acct
dent. Rev. J. NJ. Yingling, former
ly the Methodist Protestant clergy
man stationed in Baltimore, but now
located at New Church, Va, was
bathing with two ladies from Phila-
delpha-Mrs. John Neathammer
and Mrs. John Martin. The recent
severe southeast storm has cut rath-
er deep holes in the usually very even
bottom. Into one OF these Rev. Mr..
Yingling and his companions acct
dentally slipped. Fortunately the
tide was on the increase and there
was no undertow whatever. This
made 1t possible for them by dint Of
padding to remain practically In the
same spot. The shrieks Of the drown.
Ing women and the loud calls for aid
by Mr.. Yingling soon brought hun.
dreds of bathers on the beach near
the spot.
A living chain was soon formed
until 1t stretched within a few yards
of the imperIled persons. Strong
swimmers then swan out to the
party and succeeded with great diff
Guilty in bringing them to the end Of
the chain where they were passed on
to the beach.
Both women were unconscious,
having taken some water into their
lungs. Mrs. Neathammer was par
ticuiarly exhausted, and 1t was some
time before the rescuers succee ded
In restoring her to cons ciousness
through restorative methods. Their
escape from drowning was due in a
large measure to the strength Of Rev.
Mr.. Yingling. He is over six feet In
height and powerfully built. He
succeeded in keeping the women
above water until thoroughly exh aust
ed. But 1t was long enough to give
the rescucrs time to form the chain
from the beach, At hight Rev. Mr.
Yingling was sufficiently recovered
from his experience to ofliciate in
s. the pulpit.

DANGER in !.
GASOLINE.

Apropros Of the number OF gaso-
line stoves now in use 70 Whining.
ton it is likely a decided action will
be taken by the insurance compa.
MES. During the past week a
death dealing explosion took place
in Philadelphia.
The new activity on the part OF
the city officials to cur b the G asoline
peril has followed close on more
stringent regulations by the Phila-
delphia Fire Underwriters AS
ISOLATION relating to the use Of the
OIL On August 3-too days before
the fatal Locust street explosion
the association. sent bulletin to
its me mbers which provides that
appli cants for insura nee who have
gasoline stoves. branding irvns or
plumbers pots on their premises
shall be charged extra for their
policies. The cnarge for combinat
stores and dwellings is fixed at IL
avear for policies for $1,000 or less
and 10 cents on 800 for policies of
more than $1,000. The charge for
buildings occupied as mel camille
or manufacturing establishments
is fixed at Is cents on 800 per an.
mum with a minimum extra charge
Of 81. When more than one gaso.
line stove is used the charge for one
stove is multiplied by the number
by the number Of stoves. In this
bulletin is contained the following
caution in bold faced type.
"The. principal danger from gas
oline stoves is on having the gaso.
line on the premises. At ordinary
temperature gasoline gives of IN.
fammable vapor, and a light some
distance from the material will ig-
mite it through the medium Of this
vapor THE VAPOR FROM ONE
PINT OF GASOLINE WILL MAKE
200 CUBIC FEET OF AIR EN-
PLOSIVE. 1t depends upon the
proportion Of air and vapor whether
It becomes burning gas or a de-
structive explosive. Beware OF any
leaks in cans, and never forget how
dangerous material is bein.
handled.
The term gasoline shall be held
to include naptha, benzine or amy of
the light products OF petroleum by
whatever name known"
So far as Wilmington is concern
ed there is lots Of danger In adj
dition to the large tanks hauled
throu h town there are several ped.
dlers with two or three wagons
each. A large percentage of the
grocers keep the gasoline on hand
and whole sale grocers also have
large supplies. The matter Of re-
stricting the storing of gasoline is
far more dangerous than the stor-
ing Of bunch Of fire crackers.

SHERIFF'S
BIG FEES

Much adverse criticism has been
caused by the presentation to the Levy
Court by Sheriff Mcdaniel Of II bill for
$7l7S.4O for the quarter ending March
l, this year. or this sum $4.Sl0.2O was
for the board of prisoners at the county
Jail.
The Every Evening says:
1.-The allowance to the sheriff for
the board. OF prisoners is 20 cents
per prisoner per day. The regular
population Of the Jail is 'css tn an
200 per day, on a very reasonable
estimate. For this limit the allow
ance to the sheriff for one quarter
or go days, would be $4,000.

adds in his letter:
"rhe understanding Is that my
proposed company will run pipe lines
to New Birmingham, to Dallas and to
