CENTREVILLE REPORTS
IA BELOW TEMPERATURE

Many Wilmington families spent
yesterday around the kitchen stove,
the only real summer resorts in the
city during this weather. The ther-
mometer, because it was so slippery
perhaps. took an awful fall down to
degrees below, the coolest weather
for Delaware in the memory of the
next to the oldest inhabitant. A
prominent grocer in the Seventh ward
sent his neighbors into chills by walk
ing the sidewalk tanning himself with
palm-leaf fan, but he didn't spread
the Joke over any space Of time.
Now there is a lively contest on as
to what place in Delaware can boast
the lowest temperature, Centreville
holding the banner with a declaration
of IA degrees below.
Few people in the city have escaped
more or less discomfort from the un-
precedented cold weather. but among
tho poor II has meant a great deal-oi
suffering, many families have not had
enough fuel to warm even one room,
but sit huddled up in old rags. The
hospitals took care of numerous cases
of frost bites, and the charitable In
stitutions were filled with people beg
ging to be allowed just to come In ana

pated.

led him to the corner. "Go RIGHT up
to yon we hoose and turn to ye're

they were yellow, falling to pieces

throughout Delaware, and proof OF
originally is under the circumstances
exceptionally necessary.
Mr. Wigglesworth likewise brought
two old papers whose age he traced
by personal knowledge Of how they
had passed from various owners into
his possession. so that there is nc
doubt OF their originality.
The oldest, and it is the Oldest

GIN FOR THE KIDNEYS.

Gin is one of the Oldest known
remedies for kidney and bladder
troubles, especially when used in the
following formula: six ounces good
pure gin; half ounce fluid extract
Buchu; half ounce Murax compound"
Any druggist can supply or mix these
ingredients. Shake well each time
and take in doses Of one TO two tea
spoonfuls after meals and at bed
time.
This is the most effective remedy
known for the quick relief of kidney
and bladder disorders. Such symptoms
as backache, frequent or highly coll
ored urine. rheumatic pains in the
groin ought to have prompt attention
to prevent Bright's disease or dia-
betes.

flames from spreading to adjoining
property.
Even after the water had been OBJ
tanned it froze almost as fast as 1t
fell and the firemen handling the lines
of hose were quickly coated with ice
and suffered considerably from the
cold.
The burning building was within
a few feet of the rear of houses on
the surrounding streets. and some Of
these dwellings were threatened sew
Seral times. The residents stood
guard on roofs with buckets of water
ready TO extinguish any little blaze
that might spring up.
The fence in the rear of the home
Of Francis p. Kane. was on fire sew
eral times, and finally had to be torn
down to keep the flames from spread
ing.
The loss, though not yet estimated,
will reach several thousand dollars
and is covered by insurance.
During the fire Deputy Judge Harry
P. Joslyn. who lives close by. and Mr.
Kanes households served hot coffee
to the firemen Cor which they later
were grateful.
While the fire was raging an alarm
was sent in from a box on the east
side. which by the way, was a false
alarm, and this was why the firemen
at work in ths Hancock street fire
did not send I'm an alarm for assist

bigger blaze and not wishing to
call out any more companies than
were absolutely necessary.
