Says the Ocean Grove Times: Miss
Margaret f. Assay gave truly dramatic
recitation Of "Ihe Bells" as her first
selection. Her choice was happy one,
and her eIeverness was made apparent
before the close of the first verse Of this
well-known piece. There are no affec-
tations in Miss Asay's manner such as
are noticed in many professional readers,
and which invariably make the audience
feel immeasurably uncomfortable She
also reeited AUX Italiens," a love-dream

DURING TARGET PRACTICE
Good Scores Made With
Large Mortars by Gun
ners Of Fort DUPONT
speelaI to rhe EvenIng Journal.

Delaware City, Nov. 15.-The target
practice at Fort DUPONT yesterday with
the large mortars attracted a great
deal Of attention and considerable anx-
iety was held for windows. in town.
Nineteen shots in all were fired. The
first three shots were fired singly and
then four salvos OF four shots each
were fired. at a range OF 724O yards.
Good scores were made by the expert
gunners Of Fort DUPONT. When it is
considered that 1926 pounds of powder
and 1000 pounds Of projectile were fred
lat each salvo IL can be seen that the
danger TO windows In the proximity
of the fort is considerable.
The target is not seen by the men in
the mortar pits, but the range, direction
and full particulars and directions as to
firing are given by telephone by the Of
ficers in the range tower to the gun
commanders in the pits. A gun COM

CREMATED

the stalls of the animals. So fierce
was the blaze that he only succeeded
in saving one of the vehicles before
being forced to make a retreat.
LOST THEIR SAVINGS.
Another pathetic incident was the
loss by the Italian inmates of the two
dwellings that were destroyed Of their
entire savings, amounting to $1,000 or
more. The fourteen or more who occu-
pied these houses were huddled to-
gether across the street from the burn
ing buildings when the reporter for the
Journal saw them. Some of their
household furniture had been saved,
but their money, earned by hard toll
and carefully boarded for years, was
gone. Some lost as high as $500. OF
those who lost this amount was Nicola
Laschricio. Of No. 1O3 Orange street.
As he told of his loss tears trickled
down his aged and wrinkled face.
Frank Ciconte, of No. 1O5, next door,
lost 5000 and anumber are losers in
sums ranging from $50 to 500.
SAVED THEIR CHILDREN.
After discovering the extent Of the
blaze Handle ran back into the house
and he and his wife quickly awakened
their seven children. The flames. how
ever, had gained such headway that
their home was already on fire and it
wah only with rare presence Of mind
that the couple got their little ones
out Of the building before the roof Of
the structure fell in with a crash.
The children were snatched out OF
their beds and almost naked carried
by their parents to the street and safe
ty The youngest one Of the seven is
but two months of age and the Oldest
about II years old.
OIL FED THE FLAMES.
What made the conhagration SO
fierce and retarded the firemen in their
work was the presence Of oil. Both tn
buildings of the Industrial Supply
Company and W. K. Reynolds were
stocked with inhammable material OF
this kind. In the latter place was con-
siderable glycerine and during thC
course of the fire there were severa
explosions.
Mr.. Durstein is in New York and h'
knew nothing of the blaze until notified
lby wire today. He is expected hom
this afternoon.
/ Considering the obstacles in the wa!
of the firemen, they did excellent ser
vice. Though almost surrounded b.
fire, they saved the buildings of tn
/ Delaware Machine Works, Charles r
Dougherty and John ]. Magahern ant
Thereby probably saved the entire blocl
from destruction.
The loss on all the buildings is GOV

ture a mass of flames. There was a
report current that Handle threw an
4 oil stove. which had exploded, out OF
