TWO MEN BURNED TO DEATH.
Lightning Causes Fire and Loss OF
Life Near Newark.

On Saturday evening lightning
struck a barn on the Morrow farm,
near Newark, and two men were
burned to death in the fire which
followed. The barn was totally
destroyed, and large quantity of
feed and two calves consumed.
The property loss will reach about
$4,000.
The victims of the fire were Isaac
Delcors, white, and William Davis,
colored, farm laborers. They slept
in the barn, and the supposition is
that they were stunned by the light
ming and were unconscious while
the flames ragged around them.
Isaac Del Corse was the son of
Rosa Del Corse, familiarly known
as "Rosydel," who notwithstand-
ing his feminine appelation was a
dago-man who several years ago
resided in this section and dealt
in old iron and rags.

Gasoline Stove Causes Fire.

In attempting to fill a gasoline
stove while burning a lively blaze
was occasioned by Mrs. Sophia
Dickinson, at her home in Oxford,
on the evening of July 4th., The
gasoline ignited, and in attempting
to throw the can from the house
Mrs. Dickinson was unable to get
the door open, her dress catching
fire in the meantime. Dropping
the can, she smothered the flames
which had communicated to
her clothing, with a rug. Her
screams attracted Jas. P. Evans who
attempted to kick the blazing can
from the house, but was unsuc.
cessful, his trousers catching fire.
Morris Dickinson finally appeared
on the scene and succeeded in
extinguishing the fire, which was
assuming serious proportions, and
when the fire department arrived
they found their work done. Mrs.
Dickinson was painfully burned,
while the woodwork of the kitchen
was badly charred and scorched.

Want The Bridge Rebuilt.

The people who use the Como
wingo bridge are strong in their
hopes that the structure will be
rebuilt as soon as possible. The
burning of the structure has caused
no end of trouble and expense to
the storekeepers in that section of
the country and to Chas. A. An.
drew at Glen Cove and the Hartford
Flint Company. Mr.. Andrew has
constructed two wharves and is
compelled to have ferried across
the river in scows all of his coal,
feed, fertilizers and other material
used in his extensive business at
Glen Cove. By the use of his two
fiat bottom scows he is able to move
about ten tons day but the in
convenience, labor and additional
cost makes it very hard on the con-
sumers of the neighborhood. Mr..
Andrews demonstrated his enter
prise by losing no time in providing
for the non interruption of business.
When he arrived at his office the
morning after the fire he put a
force of men at work on building
the temporary wharves and in a
few days had his supplies brought
across the river from Conowingo.
