HARD FIRE To FIGH I
Fletcher Block Had a Narrow
Escape From Destruction.
FlREMEN WORKED HARD
Damage Estimated 10 be
About $1,000.

Investigation into the origin OF the fire
at the Fletcher building at an early hour
yesterday morning, reveals the fact that
the same was caused by spontaneous
combustion Some mechanics had been
at work hanging a new cable for the ele-
vator and it is thought that the cotton
waste which is used to oil the shafts,
became ignited and caused the blaze,
which but for the timely discovery of Mrs
Smith, one of the tenants, might have re-
suited in the destruction of the building.
It is certain the fire originated in the
lift near the elevator and from there
spread to the east part of the building.
The big start that it had when the de-
partment arrived upon the scene, made
It appear that the fire had been shoulder
ing for some hours before it was discov-
cred. Mrs. Lydia Smith who occupies
apartments in the east half of the build
ing was awakened by the dropping of
timber down the elevator shaft upon the
cab in the first floor. Finally she noticed
that smoke began to fill her bedroom and
upon further investigation she discovered
the fire at the shaft. Going to the apart
ments of Mrs. McNaughten across the
hall, she awakened the occupants and
then telephoned to the fire department.

"Flofodora."

"Florodora" entered upon the
third week of it's tuneful sway at
the Chestnut Street Theatre Phila-
delphia, last evening. The popu-
lar interest in this melodious and
diverting piece appears truly to be
on the increase, and it would seem
as if the production might profit
ably remain there throughout the
entire season. The now famous
double sextet, "Tell Me Pretty
Maiden" is, of course one of the
prime features, but there are many
others of much attractiveness. The
work of Isadore Rush in the role
of Lady Hollywood, is the distinc-
tive individual hit of the produc-
ton, while the chorus is remark
able for its prettiness.

Nearly Completed.

Work is now progressing rapidly
ON the New Castle County Work
house at Greenbank and it will be
ready for occupancy some time be-
fore Christmas. The trustees are
unable to fix the exact time at pres
ent. Most of the cells have been
completed and the work-rooms will
now receive attention. For some
days there has been a report that
Patrolman H. A. Pierce had de-
cided not to accept the position of
deputy warden of the institution,
but it is stated by those in authority
that Pierce will accept the position
and that the announcement that he
would not accept was made without
authority. He will go ON duty with
the other officers who have been Sc
1ected.

ham, of Dover, returned there a
few days ago and borrowed a gun

also borrowed another gun from
Enoch David for the.same purpose.
1t was afterwards learned that he
sold Mr.. Walters gun to a man in
Wyoming for IS. Mr.. Waller has
since recovered his property by
paying So to the man who bought
it. Mr.. David has not yet recov-
cree his gun, but has sent mes

Delaware College.

1t is the wish of the Librarian of
Delaware College to add as rapidly
as possible to the Local History
Department of the Library, and
friends of the College are urged to
aid in the work of improving this
department. Much of the local
history of Delaware and the PENN
sula has been published in the form
of sermons, addresses, biographical
sketches, and memorial pamphlets
of various kinds. Such publica-
tons are often lost sight of shortly
after the occasion that begets them
and are rarely to be bought of any
bookseller, yet they sometimes con-
tain valuable historical data moi
easily found elsewhere. Any friend
of the College who has such publ
cations that he is willing to give
away can do a real service to the
institution by sending them to the
Librarian of Delaware College al
Newark. There are other and even
rarer publications that would be
very welcome additions to the Ii
brary, such for example, as Ferris
History of Wilmington, now to be
had only of dealers In second hand
books. Pictures illustrative OF
Delaware and Peninsu1ar History
will also be very welcome gifts tc
the Library. 1t is the wish of the
Librarian to make the Department
of Local History really valuable
one, such as may be of use not
only to the students of the College
but to any one investigating the
history of Delaware or the PENN.

cow DIES WITH THE RABIES.

Three weeks ago Fred Wood, a
young farmer living on the Denton
Hillsboro road, and his four-years-
old son were bitten by dog, but
little was thought about it, although
one of Mr.. Woods cows was bitten
at the same time. A few days ago
the cow died and a portion of its
brain was sent to Baltimore for ex-
animation. This showed that the
cow had died of hydrophobia. Mr..
Wood and his son may go to the
Pasteur Institute, Baltimore, for
treatment.

TRAMPS ATTACK
MILFORD MAN.
One Highwayman Shot in the

Mr.. JONES MADE HIS ESCAPE

Charles Jones, who was held up
few days ago near Laws Church
near Milford, says the men who
caught hold of his horses bride
wore large SLOUGH hats, heavy
sweaters and army breeches. He
fred at the gang, and the bullet
from his revolver struck one of the
highwaymen in the arm, causing
him to loosen his hold. The horse
sprang forward at a word from his
master, and Mr.. Jones got out of
bad compay speedily. The queer
feature of the affair is that it oc-
cured about 10 o'clock in the
morning and at point 100 yards
from a farmhouse.

After being treated by an eminent physi-
clan for quite a while without relief, my

is almost entirely cured.-GEo. X. McDoN-

A Tale of TeIegraphic Ticks.

A well-to-do young man recently
married and started West on his bri-
dal tour. The happy young couple
were breakfasting at station eating
house. During the repast two smart
Alexis came into the eating-room and
seated themselves opposite the con-
tracing parties. They were telegraph
operators. By delicate posing Of
their knife and fork they were able to
make sounds in close imitation of te-
legraphy. In the mystic language OF
the key one said to the other:
CANT she a daisy, thought"
The party thus addressed replied
by clicking off:
Wouldn't / like to kiss her, the
little fat angel"
"Wonder who that old bloat is that
she has married?"
"Some gorgeous granger" replied
the other.
The groom stood it until forbearauce
ceased to be a virtue, when be also
balanced his knife, and click, click, ii
went in rapid succession. 1t was in
telligible to the very cute twain that
had recently made fun Of its author
When interpreted it read
DEAR SIRs-I am superintendent
of the telegraph line upon which you
work. You will please send your
time to headquarters and resign your
positions at once. Yours,
