Twenty Horses Burned in Fire
at the Wilson Line Stables

Despite the heavy loss in horses and
property, sustained by the Wilson
Line Steamboat Company late Satur-
day night, the concern had its full
quota of teams in service today, and
doing business as though nothing had
happened. The company lost twenty
horses, two Carriages. several sets of
harness and a quantity of hay aud
straw, but the wagons reported as
lost we're all saved. In consequence
the company had to buy or temporar-
lily hire horses to continue its freight
service.
The loss is estimated at $4,000,
which is covered by insurance.
The blaze was one of the most seri-
Gus seen in this city for sometime.
Thousands Of people gathered IN the
vicinity of Fourth street wharf and
it was with difficulty that the police
kept them back so as not to interfere
with the firemen.
The fire broke out at 11.20 o'clock on
Saturday night. The origin is a mys-
terry. The supposition is that some
body went In the building to sleep and
started to smoke, accidentally setting
fire to some straw.
The blaze was discovered by a
watchman on the steamer City of Will
mington, which had made it's last trip
for the night and had backed down 70
its berth along the wharf opposite the
stables. He notified Captain W. F. p.
Jacobs, who was sitting on the wharf.
BY the time they got around into the
yard of the stables, the whole build
ing seemed to be in flames. Captain
Jacobs and Ephraim Jones, the pier
watchman, hurried to Third street and
the Pennsylvania railroad, to send in
the alarm, and by the time the dis
trict apparatus arrived the entire
structure was a sething mass OF
flames. Fire Chief Moran sent in a
second alarm.
The fire spread so rapidly that 1t
was impossible to save any Of the
twenty horses in the stables. All Of
them were burned to death. One man
aged to get as far as the door and
building and then turned and ran d.
rectly back into the fire. The COM
pany had many fine animals and all
the employees regret to lose them. The
carriage horse of Captain Horace VIII
son, president OF the company, was
in his stables at his home. One of the
burned animals was a prize winning
stallion which was valued highly.
Captain Jacobs aroused the crew OF
the steamer City of Chester which was
lying near the warehouse, this struc-
ture being in danger at one time oi
catching fire.
Captain Wilson arrived on the scene
shortly after the fire was discovered
and personally directed the employees

SMOKING BY
SCHOOL BOYS
Principal Berlin Asks high
School Pupils to Quit
the Practice
ONLY CRITICISM HEARD
ABOUT SCHOOL, HE SAYS

Principal A. H. Berlin this morning
addressed the High School boys on
the question Of smoking around the
High School grounds. He said that
people passing on the car had notic-
ed boys smoking outside the building
and he had received telephone mes
sage calling his attention to It, Last
Friday he had been obliged to sus-
pend a boy who was found smoking
in the basement, and he had been told
that he would be upheld by the Board
Of Education in suspending boys found
smoking outside. The principal said
that in a good many instances boys
who did not belong 10 the school at
all, but we're hanging around the
grounds were responsible for the
smoking.
However, he hoped the boys would
be sufficiently loyal to the school 10
see 10 II that the prevalent opinion
that there was a lot OF smoking on
the school grounds would be stopped.
Aside from the fact that smoking
harmed a growing boy. the boys
should stop this, the only criticism
that was being made on the conduct
OF the school. He also asked that the
boys should not linger outside the
building.
There was no speaker at the exer-
cises this morning, music making
the program. Great punches of wild
flowers spoke of the enjoyable out

II is rather an extraordinary aggre-
cation which the Garrick management
announces the week commencing to-
day. Digby Bell and Thomas Q. Sea-
brooke, two veteran comedy stars, are
two features of note. Stella Tracy, a
Broadway comedienne is another;
Rawls and Won Kaufman, black
face hit of last year, are another. The
Four Royals, in one Of the most sem
sational exhibitions of real strength
ever seen on a stage. are due, as are
also Fred and Bessie Lucier, in Love
Powders;" Ray Dooley's Metropolitan
Minstrels, composed of a number of
pretty girls, and the pictures. The
show speaks for itself.
Beginning this evening, and all
during this week, billy" a first rate
comedy in three acts, will be the Of
fering Of the Avenue Theatre Stock
Company. II is a play abounding in
funny situations most of them induced
by the hero's loss Of his front teeth.
This premise may not sound very at
tractiye at first, but It Is a fact that
the play is both, and that along some
what unusual lines II might scarce
nave Deen possible case IN pTlmiliNe
times, when the village blacksmith
was also the village dentist, but at
present, when the ID. d. S. has become

possible for BILLY" Horgrave to re-
place the four teeth he lost on the
gridiron, by four others he bought Of
the doctor, and for him TO keep the
world at large in ignorance Of the ex-
change. He has some difficulty in
learning this lesson and some pains,
too, and that is what the play is all
about.

pleasure of Wilmington theatre-goers.

DETAILS OF THE
GREAT DISASTER
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
PARIS, Sept. 25.--Stunned by
Frances latest disaster, the loss OF
the magnificent fighting ship Liberte
while lying peacefully swaying at her
anchors in the roadstead at Toulon,
the minister OF Marine and his as
sistants took steps Immediately TO aid
the families of the victims and de-
termine the responsibility for the dis
aster. The news has convulsed all
France and is everywhere accepted an
evil omen coming as it does on the
peaceful settlement of the struggles
with Germany over Morocco. Re-
ioicing has been turned into mourning
and there is a concerted demand TO
have the entire naval system thor
oughly investigated, experts declaring
the higher officers Of the navy untitled
TO command, and the personnel Of the
rank and file very low.
According to the report. the COM
plement of Liberte was 10 men and
80 officers. OF this number one-third
OF the officers and 120 Of the men had
been given over Sunday leaves Of
absence.
Sleeping When Fire Broke Out.
Most OF the crew OF the warship
were sleeping below decks when the
fire broke out There are several
stories as to where II started, but the
Minister Of Marine believes that IL
broke out in a storeroom adjacent to
the after magazine and was caused
by short circuit in the lighting
wires.
The fire alarm was sounded and the
watch on deck rushed TO fight the
flames while the officers OF deck or
dered all hands to their posts AS tn,
half clad figures rushed TO their po
sitions for fire drill there came ;
!. slight explosion which shook tn
structure of the giant warship.
Instantly flames seemed TO brea
/ out all over the after-quarter Of tn
] warship. Two other explosions follow
; ed at minute intervals and with tn
third the flames spouted mast high. 3

| ship could be seen at their post
vainly trying 10 keep the Are bac
from the main magazine Of III

. of explosives.
, Suddenly Just as the other vessel
, Of the fleet and the fire tugs from th
J yard were heading toward the blai
ing warship, there came a detonatio
of terrific force which shook the W;
ters of the harbor with the force {
