. THE NEWS OF NEW CASTLE.

New Cattle, Dec 20. ALBERT Hol.
! sohumaker's timely discovery Of a fire
in the home of John MoCallin, I2S
Harmony street, about 9. 80 O'Clock last
evening, prevented what might have
been serious oonhagration. A bucket
brigade, headed by Joseph McCaughan
and Charles Shearer, secured water
from q nearby pump. Mr.. Holschu-
maker saw flames and smoke issue
from side window of TIE house and
promptly gave the alarm. In short
time about 20 buckets were going to
the pump and water was thrown on the
flames.
After the fire was extinguished, an
overturned lamp was discovered on the
floor and a hole burned through the
flooring. The furniture in the front
room was destroyed by fire and water.
The house is owned by John q.
Mahoney and is insured in the New
Castle County Mutual Insurance Co.
The damage to the property is about
$50, and to the household goods like
amount. Charles Shearer had his hand
injured while bursting in a door and
Walter Bacon had his fingers blistered
while removing a marble top table.
Members of the McCaughan family,
scented smoke while eating supper and
searched the house, but could not
locate any fire.
The origin of the hlaze is a mystery.
Mr.. McCallin left no lamp burning aud
had not been in the house since
O'Clock. Joseph McCaughan heard some,
person in the house shortly after g
O'Clock, and it is believed tks intruder
set the place on fire.

BlGGAR CASE WITH JURY

Freehold. N. j., Dec. "a. The trial
of Laura Biggar and others on the
charge Of conspiracy and perjury to get
possession Of the entire estate of
Millionaire Henry NJ. bennett was
finished yesterday and the case went
to the jury yesterday afternoon. People
came from scores of miles around to
hear the closing arguments, and after
Judge Heisley's charge had aeen de-
livered and the jury had retired they
waited for hours around the Court
House in hopes of hearing the verdict.
At 10 30 p. m. the jury was still out
and it was though it would disagree,
in which case the jury would probably
be discharged today. If the jury disa-
grees IL is probable the case will never
be tried again,
Late last night one of the jurors
asked the officers to allow him to talk
to Judge Heisley, who had gone TO his
home in Long Branch. over the tele-
phone, but this was not permissible,
ItIis thought the jury wanted to get
information upon some legal point

Philadelphia Ledger yesterday
J. Edward Addicks, candidate for
| United States Senator from Delaware
and gas magnate. tacitly admitted to a
reporter for the Public Ledger. yester
| day, that proposition was pending to
cancel tina lease of the city gas works
to the United Gas improvement Co. on
January LIST, 1903, and release the
works to some other corporation. He
| said:
The Bay Stats Gas Go. will he pre-
parcd to lease tho Philadelphia gas
| works in 1903. .
Is there a positive movement pro.
jected to revoke the lease OF the United
Gas Improvement Co, and are yon in
tefested in it?n Mr.. AddieKs was asked.
That l cannot disc1ss ! have
| nothing moro TO say be repliea.
Then ne inquired: Where did the
Public Ledger get its information! 1t
was wong In that the payment to hs
made to she United Gas Imrroscn.snt
Co will eEceed sl5 00J, 030 The lease
can be revoked and new contract

He continued II am not indi-
yiduelly ready to undertake the man

syndicate of Philadelphia capitalists it
would be a good Investment y
Is John NJ. Mack interested with
you,in any way to effeot the oancella-
tion of the United Gas improvement
Co. Is lease by City CouncilsY''
That question could be asked more
profitably, perhaps. Of Mr.. Mack, 2 de-
clare1 Mr. Addioks II have said all
that intend to say. will answer no
more questions.
According to the information OBJ
tanned by reporter for the Public
Ledger it is proposed to pass an ordi-
nance towards the close Of the next ad-
ministration reyoking the United Gas
lmptoyement Go. Is contract, and then
surrender the gas works, by lease, to
another concern in which John N.
MACK and j. Edward Addicks are said
to TO interested. In connection with
the project the rivalry between the
financial interests represented by Mr..
Mack and those of which Thomas
Dolan, president OF the United Gas I'm
proyement Co., is the head, was pointed
out.
1t was learned yesterday that confor-
enoes to discuss the proposition had
been held, and that Mr.. Mack was cog
INFANT OF the plans, but he was not ac-
cessible to reporters yesterday, and no
declaration Of his interest in the scheme
was obtainable.
Ii IS the opinion that, if the project |
is carried out, Mr.. Mack and is finan-
cial associates will use the Bay State
Gas 70. as the opposition corporation.
Although the franchise now held by |
the United Gas improvement Go. can
not be revoked until January 1st, 1905,
a scheme as proposed. according to The
report, would require legislation in the
next administration, owing to political
conditions. The one problem which
blocks the way is that the city would
be required to pay the United Gas I'm
proyemens 90. for all expenditures
made by that corporation during its
lease. 1t is estimated that SIG, 0O0, OOO
or Sl7, 900, 600 would be necessary.

IT CAME UPON
THE MIDNIGHT CL EAR.
Edmand Hamilton ssnr..

II came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bonding near the esrth
To touch thei- harps of gold:
Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From Heaven's 3 aii-gracious Eing."
The world in eolerun stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unturled;
And still their Heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world;
Above its sad and loSiy plains
They bend on lowering wing,
And DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
With all the woes of sin and strife
Tha world has suffered long;
Beneath the angelBtrains have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The lore-song which they bring;
Oh hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing
And ye, beneath lite's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh! rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing.
For, 10. the days are fastening on
BY prophet bards foretold,
When with the eyer-cireling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
It's ancien. splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.
