Several communications have re-
Gently reached the Philadelphia Rec
ord asking if the original copy of the
declaration Of independence was in ex-
istence, and if duplicate copies could
be had 1t is a rather curious fact
that while facsimiles of the declara-
ton were common enough several
years ago, and were largely used for
advertising purposes, they are now
very scarce-so scarce that Philadel-
phia collector only last week offered
ten dollars for one bearing the adj
vertisement of a western railroad. The
original document, preserved in glass,
is still to be seen in the possession Of
the department of state in Washing
ton, but 1t has become so faded as to
be nearly illegible, by reason of which
Photographic reproduction would be
valueless. James d. Mcbride had
plates made, and secured a copyright
of them in 1874, but these plates were
later destroyed by fire, and none are
now in existence. Consequently the
copies that have been preserved are
constantly increasing in value.

Fire At Sandy Hook. THE CARROLL BUILDING
 DESTROYED. Hose and Men From Factory of
 Fabric Fire Hose Co. SAVES NEl0hBORIN0 PROPERTY.
SAVES NEl0hBORIN0 PROPERTY
A Big Crowd At The Fire.

Sandy Hook had a sensation of the
 first order on Wednesday afternoon,
 when the residence and store building of Mrs Patrick Car roll was burned to the ground. Smoke was discovered issuing from the roof by Francis Car mOdy about 12.3O, who quickly gave the alarm. One of the first to arrive at the scene was Former Representa- tive M. F. HOulihan, who rushed up
 the back stairs of the Carroll building. The door was locked, but after several efforts he broke open the door: Pass ing up another stairway to the attic
 eaten small hole through the roof.
 A number of men soon arrived and
 bucket brigade was formed, but the men were driven from their positions in short time. Louis Greer was pass ing and MT Houlihan dispatched him to the factory of the Fabric Fire Hose Co. for men and hose. Response was made as quickly as possible. Several hundred feet of hose were brought up
 from the factory, but this was not suf- hcient'and hose was Secueed from the
 Brick store and coupled on. The pump at the Dutch shop was started and a strong stream turned on the blaze. The building burned slowly most of the afternoon, but the neigh boring buildings were saved. Those who manned the hose were Thomas E. Bradley and William Egan, who did splendid work. Had the hose not been secured the fire would have swept southward to MT Crofutts' residence, as stiff wind prevailed. The insurance was about $500, placed through the agency of w. A. Leonard. At the time of the fire Mrs Carroll was away from the house, having gone to look at some crops some distance from the house. T.e fire Is supposed to have originated from the chimney.

TRINITY (EPIsCoPAL) CHURCH CHOIR OF BRIDGEPORT COMING. On Saturday evening, August B, at the Town hall, Newt0wn, will be a novel concert by the Sylvan quartet, together with the members of the boy choir of Trinity lEpiscopaD church, Bridgeport. c. N. Worthen, who is favOrably known in Bridgeport, is member of the choir and will come with them. He says this will be rare opportunity to hear some fine music. c. F. Baker is director of the choir. Hear what the Evening Sentinel of AnsOnfa had to say about them in a recent concert given there:
 For nearly two hours the large au- diehce was delighted with choruses, solos, triOs, and Quartets taken from the most classic music of the church, and rendered in fine form. Among the solOists was Ellie Lockwood, and his magnificent soprano voice called forth unstinted applause. He is without a, doubt the finest boy soprano yet heard in this place. He sang, ''Oh, for the Wings of a Dove" and.the ''HOly City" in manner that held his hearers spellbound, and in the "Inflammatus," :" from ROssini's "Stabat Mater," his voice was at it's best"
 It Is possible that the choir will be engaged to sing at one of the churches on Sunday, August "A.
