2 REBUILDING BRIDGE.

Inspection disclosed the fact that the
bridge over the Mispillion River in the
town of Milford was total wreck. The
bridge was an old secondhand affair
when itwas placed there a dozen years
or more ago. and the flood of this sum-
mer washed the abutments so thatit was
unsafe for travel, and this caused an ex-
animation to be made by the county
engineer, who promptly had the bridge
roped off and all traffic overit, other than
foot passengers, stopped. The abut-
ments have been reinforced with con-
crete foOtings. row of piling has been
driven down in the centre of the river,
and on these will be built a concrete
pier, which is to carry a heavy iron beam,
and on this will be laid an iron or steel
frame work to carry the concrete floor
which it is intended to place over this.
This latter will put a stop to replacing
the covering each three years with ex-
peusive oak flooring. Kent and Sussex
counties are having the work done.

PULlCE NEWS NOTES.

Officer Trice and Alderman Latchum
had a lively experience on Thursday
night of last week on North Walnut
Street about IL o'clOck, when they came
upon Sherry Masten and a negro from
Frederica in his carriage in front of
Viereck's 5 Bakery in an alteration with
the notorious Hi" Van, a negro who
has been in the tolls of the law tor years
for selling liquor, fighting, etc. Hi
was drunk and wanted to pull the negro
accompanying Sherry Masten from the
carriage in which was two large boxes.
Policeman Trice attempted 70 arrest
Van, but Alderman Latchum had to go
to his assistance before the handouts
could be locked on him, and in the mean
time Masten and his negro friend IN the
carriage made their escape. Another
negro man who was unknown to the
policeman or alderman came up and OBJ
lected to the arrest of Van, but a severe
rap over the back of his hand by the
pOliceman's S stick caused him to subdue
for the time, but the result was anus
ing. After locking their prisoner in the
jail they went back to the scene, and
approaching the negro who had objected
to the arrest of Van, Alderman Latchum
said to the policeman, lets lock this
fellow up until morning anyway, but
this remark caused a startling transfor-
nation in the man. who with head thrown
back broke into a bounding run towards
Walnut rect Fridge, on VIII ch a man
was standing and to whom the Alderman
called stop that fellow" and in re-
sponse the fleeing man turned his course
across and up Walnut Street to the lots
where the stores have been demolished
to give place to the new brick block for
Mrs. Jump. Across these he sprinted
and the last saw of him was as he ran
up the alleyway between the Masonic
Building and the Central Hotel. Friday

SATURDAY AFTERNOON
fire IN north MILFORD

An alarm of fire was blown last Sat
urday afternoon just after the dinner
hour, which called the people 20 the
western part of North Milford. where a
fire was furiOusly burning in a stable on
Truitt Avenue, which was owned by
Mrs. Louise SmoOt. The hot sun and
dry old building made a condition which
was favorable to a quick and dangerous
fire az the shingle roofs of property in
all directions nearby started to blaze
almost as soon as the firebrands settled
upon them, and that was the condition
which faced the valunteer tiremen when
they arrived upon the scene. The old
stable was so far gone when the water
was turned on that it was useless to at
tempt to save it, so the other buildings
were given attention, and the many
blazing roofs were soon eXtlngulsned.
Next to the old stable was another
building which was at one time used as
a stable and owned by Mrs. Mary Welch,
and that was almost totally destroyed
before the fire was extinguished. The
loss in money is comparatively small !;
Drobablv six hundred dollars would re-
nlace ali the real damage done to build
mos. The Orkin Brothers lost some hay
and food stuff for their horse which was
stabbed in the burned building, and 1t
had lust been taken out when the fire
occurred. The fact is that the appear
ance of Truitt Avenue is greatly i'm
proved by the absence of the two old
Structures which were burned. The fire
was caused by the bnrning of pile
Of rubbish near the stable. The fire
brands fell upon the roofs of the homes
of Perry P. Richards and Louis H. Ross,
one square away, which started them
burning, but no serious loss occurred
before the fremen extinguished the
blaze. Mrs. L. H. Ross was burned
about the face by a blazing shingle
which fell upon her while at her home
trying to put out firebrands. and William
Pierce, the fire chief of the volunteer
firemen, had his arm burned while di-
recting the men at work. The tlremen
need some way to get their hose car
riages to and from fires, as the pull ex-
hausts the firemen before they reach
the scene of their work.
