A protest was presented by the North
western Elevator Co., against their
assessment in Osnabrock at Wales
villages and Langdon city.
The auditor was instructed to lower
the valuation on the Wales elevator 5000,
Tor the reason that said company is
assessed for an engine and boiler which
appears by the records to be assessed
twice.
The valuation on their elevator in Osna-
brock was ordered lowered $500. for the
reason that the valuation on this elevator
was lowered the above amount by the
county board of equalization in July,
1900. and through an error no change
having been made at the proper time.
No change was made in their assessment
in Langdon city.
The auditor was instructed to lower
the valuation on east K north east4 Sec
tion 10, township ISL, range 60, from
$3.50. to $3.50. and ON the east u, north
west a. section 18, township 161, range
60, from $500 to $3.50, as it appears that
the above described land is assessed at
twice the amount of like property in
the Same locality.
The auditor was instructed to issue Q
warrant in favor of Geo. MoHardy for
the sum Of $3.50 for refunded 1900
personal property taxes in Glsnila town.

YOUNG WOMAN'S SAD FATE.

Reading, Pa, Oct. 28.-Annie Etter,
aged 10 years, who wBs found in shed
carly yesterday morning, bruised and
bleeding, died at the Reading Hospital
this morning without regaining con-
seriousness.
Public opinion is wrought up to a
high pitch against George Cans, aged
q years, who is ia custody, charged
with committing the crime. The girls
skull had been fractured with board.
When arrested for disorderly conduct,
yesterday morning, blood stains were
found on Cans chin and bands.
Cans made partial confession in
which he admits that he met the girl
ON Saturday evening and took trolley
ride with her. He pretends TO have
seen her safely home, it is alleged, but
lufed her into an alley and through an
open lot to the shed. She resisted him
violently, when, it IL alleged, he hit
her on the head with board again and
again.
The girl was of respectable parentage.
Cans is degenerate, and has been in
trouble before.

DELMAR WAS BURNED IN 1892.

Shortly after noon August 10th. 1892,
Delmar Was almost destroyed by fire
which burned over 90 houses and re-
duced many families to want of shelter,
food and clothing.
The houses destroyed covered 10 acres
OF ground. When it was seen that the
town was doomed unless assistance
could be obtained to check the flames,
telegram was sent for the Sails
bury steam fire engine, aud soon the
apparatus was on the scene Of action !;
but then, as in Saturdays fire, there
was no water convenient.
When the fire was discovered ii was
a small spot on the top of the knights
of Pythias Hall, on the Delaware side.
lii looked as if the fire might be extin-
guished with bucket of water, but in
few minutes the entire building was
in flames. a strong wind blowing from
the north and abundant inflammable
material combined to make confiagra-
tion.
The fire burned 20 houses ON the
Delaware sids and then 1t leaped across
State street, the dividing line between
Maryland and Delaware, and burned
over 40 houses on the Maryland side,
making a total of over 60 houses
destroyed. Churches, stores and dwell
ings were all involved in the ruins
The total loss was considerably over
800, 900, while the insurance was for
about half that amount. About 200
persons were rendered homeless and
destitute, so that contributions OF food,
money and clothing were necessary.
Delmar now has about LOCO in
hatiJants. 1t is at the western end of
Sussex county and is 81 miles south of
Wilmington.

HELP GOES TO DELMAR.
Salisbury Sends Carload OF Food for the
Stricken Town.

Salisbury Sends Carload OF Food for the
Stricken Town.
A later dispatch from Delmar saws
the horror of the great fire at Delmar
was visible on the countenances Of the
citizens Sunday.
The total loss will be about 1856, 600,
with only about $50, 600 insurance.
Early in the day lines of carriages
began TO wend their way into the heart
broken town. They we've filled with
sightseers
A thing which aroused the people
and put new life into them was the
reception of telegram from the mayor
and relief committee of Salisbury,
stating that special engine was start
ing from that town with carload of
provisions, consisting Of staple groceries,
fresh pork and other meats The train
arrived at Delmar shortly before noon
and the Salisbury rolief committee,
consisting OF Mayor Disharoon, o J.
SchneolS, II. ID. Griur, William +.
jackson, A. A. Gillis and Senator NJ.
" Brew ington, at once communicated
with the town authorities. The latter
appointed another relief committee con
sistiGg of II. h. Barker, Lleweilyn Kerr,
Harry Hill, Harry L. Tickle and James
II. Tyre, to Jake charge of the pre-
visions and distribute them.
The people of Delmar who suffered
from this fire were in many cases the
same unfortunate ones who we're burned
out in 1892. Many of them feel the
weight of the blow to such an extent
that it is possible they may not try
again to build up their falleE fortunes.

tressing. What were on Saturday last

them dozens of tall chinneys stand like
sentinels to guard what was once
busy mart OF trade and domestic happi
ness
The town Council will meet today
and take up the question Of how the
town shall be rebuilt and whether or
not to pass compulsory brick house
ordinance. The Council had recently
contracted for the furnishing of elect
trio lights for the streets, the power to
come from Laurel, but it is now Iroba
ble that this order will be rescinded
and the first question taken up will be
that of providing the town with water
works. 1t is estimated that a plant
can be put in which will give adequate
protection for $40, 600.
Among the heaviest losers by the fire
were the Hon. William Il. Sirman and
Levin Hastings. MIR. Sirman lost four
dwellings, two OF which cost $4,000
each, also his large mill and manu-
featuring plant, IN all about S35, 600,
on which he had not cent Of in
surance. He was burned out in 1882,
entRiling loss OF about $40, 600, with
only $500 insurance. A year previous
to that he had been burned out and
lost $4,000. So within the last 10 years
he has lost about $500 by fires in
Delrnar. He was at one time the
wealthiest man in the place, but his
entire fortune has been eaten by fire.
Levin Hastings, another prominent
resident. has lost heavily. He had
seven stores, four dwellings and stock
of goods destroyed Saturday, in all
about S25 600, on which he has an in
suranoe of only 81, 800. Like MIR. Sir
man, he was large loser at the pre-
oedine fire and will be severely crippled
financially by this second great loss.
The unfortunate ones who lost their
homes were provided with shelter by
neighbors Saturday night,
But five small stores are left In tie
place-those of ". j. Donaway, Hast
Ings & Fleetwood, K. I'll. Lowe e Co.,
j. Ii. Sturgis and W. S. Parker & Co.
An idea of the geat heat of the fire
can he estimated by looking down the
streets and see dogs, cats, and rats
which were roasted to death in the
middle of the street while trying to
escape from the houses 1t looked as if
the town were burning from four
quarters at the same time.
