FIRE SWEPT.
Property Damaged Last Night
For Third Time in Two
Years
WORKERS FIGHT BLAZE
UNTIL FIREMEN ARRIVE

The crematory plant Of the Will
mington Sanitary Company at the foot
OF Liberty street was destroyed by
IRE last night for the second time
within six months and the third time
within two years.
While the loss last night will
amount to several thousand dollars
It will not be as great as at the two
previous fires owing to the fact that
the firemen last night held the flames
in check and subdued them before
they could spread to the entire plant.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The flames we're discovered in what
Is known as the dryer by James Dor
sey, the colored night watchman at
the plant, who Immediately notified
Charles Reynolds. the night fireman,
who got out a line Of hose and at

Dorsey. in the meantime, ran to the
ere room and tied down the whistle
cord. and the blowing of the whistle
was heard possibly five minutes be-
fore an alarm was sounded from Box
No 20. The alarm was sent in by
someone who saw the reflection and
the smoke, while the two employees
we're trying to prevent the fire from
spreading. The blowing Of the whis-
tie for such a long time and the
glare of the FIRE which illuminated
the sky for a great distance. attracted
more than thousand persons to the
scene.
The flames we're raging in a small
cupola on top of the building when
the fire companies arrived. The fire
men had difficulty getting water on
the burning building because Of the
low pressure at the plugs in that sec
ton Of the city and the long leads the
companies had 20 make in order to
get a hose to the crematory. When
they did get into action, however, It
was not long before the flames were
extinguished and after an hours work
the fire was out.
The plant was flooded with water
and the costly machinery. was dam
aged. but Il is not thought beyond re-
pair The FIRE will interfere with
the operations at the plant but to
what extent is not known as none Of
the company officials could be located
on the scene last night. % ---- about

London.-The Times correspondent
at Sofia says the Turkish cavalry en-
tered A~drianople after a short conflict
with a small defending force.
1t looks as though the fighting in
the balkans between the Bulgarians
and the Greeks, Servians, Montene-
grins and Roumanians is over. Bull
garia appears to be willing to cede
everything that has been asked by
each country in order to secure peace.
She had no alternative, apparently, as
the Servians, Greeks and Roumanians
are around Sofia on all sides, and the
Turkish cavalry under Enver Bey,
according to the dispatch cited, has
actually entered Adrianople itself
after a short fight with the garrison.
Another story says the small Bull
garian garrison had been ordered not
to resist Enver Bey's men. The bashi
bazouks who accompanied the Turk
ish regulars are reported to be burn
ing and pilaging in the neighborhood
of Adrianople.
