Dover, March, 1.-The inhabitants of
the little town of Camden have not yet
recovered from their thrilling expert
ence of being aroused In the early
morning by the screams of fire and see
ing the commercial part of theif VII
lage being licked up by flames.

more Trust Company, in which build
ing the fire is thought to have or'g;-
mated by robbers who dropped lighted
matches on the lineoleum covered floor
completed arrangements to open quar-
.ters in the old post Office building.
Counters desks and other fittings were
hastily erected by carpenters and this
morning the officers OF the trust COM
.pany opened their doors for public busi-
ness
Colonel Levi G. Sterner whose stock
of goods, valued at $500. were eaten
up by the fire, moved his goods which
he managed to save at the peril of his
life, to a store unoccupied-
L. w. Hollis owner of the bu-cher
establishment which was gutted by the
fire, opened his store in the town
building.
Detectives Summoned.
Meanwhile detectives have been sum-
moned to ferret the clues which are
rife among tho citizens. William NJ.
Evans, a guest at the National Hotel,
and one of the directors OF the trust
company, heard two persons walking
to and fro in front Of t.e trust buiil-
ing, talking in a subdued voice. He
then dozed into a sleep and a few min
utes later he was awakened by the
lurid glare of the flames bursting from
the banking house and the cries of fire.
No one has accounted for the walking
and talking Of these tWo men. and It
is supposed that these are the fire bugs.

Railroad Office at Wyoming did not no
tice any one get off the early morning
trains. WHICH pass that town about .
o'clock. 1t is possible for one. how

smith in Wyoming and who has a shop
en- the road to Camden, claims his shop
was broken into yesterday morning
and an auger. used for boring iron and
steel, was stolen. He could not tell
how many other tools were taken, for
he said he had a great variety Of ham,
mers, chisels and others. These ham,
mers and chisels We're kept ir a hox

For some time the railroad contractors
have been laying or men, li was thought
for a time this was on account Of the
weather but the fact Of the matter is chat
the railroad will spend only what money
is absolutely necessary during 1904. This
retrenchment has been made to give the
company an opportunity to make up the
dividends which were greatly reduced last
year by building operations troubles with
locomotives and other things.

that are only driven a short distance IN

they are not deep enough to resist the

men is that the elevated bridge viii be

There Is no doubt that nothing will be

Then there would have been repeated the very cruees
that aroused indignation in Cuba We could not

We could have established joint protectorate where

FINALE.

The barren, endless plain, ablaze and white
With burntup sage brush and short why grass;
The white overhead, like molten glass,
That rolls in pitiless unclouded light;
The long white trail that stretches out of sight
Through dreary miles where scorchng heat waves pass
The white ridge of the mountains a huge mass
That mock the fevered brain with their cool height.
There is no heart no help no hope no life,
So groans the lonely horseman in despair
And imprecates the cruel burning sky
white-haired spent old man. who yields the strife
And drops beside the trail, and moaning there
Pleads vainly for water ere he die.
