During a fearful fire shortly after
midnight last night. the P. B. w. R.
r. carpenter shops along the north
bound track was reduced TO ashes and
the lumber yard more or less damaged.
The loss will result upwards of $4,000
or $4,000. Just how the FIRE occurred
is not known. The FIRE broke out a.
bout a hals hour after midnight and
made a blaze that lighted the heavens
for some distance. AS the Clayton
Water Works was not completed and
in service. the Railroad Company's
fire equipment was the only thirg
available II was soon found out the
shops could not be saved and attention
was directed to keep the FIRE con-
fined and from spreading to the
buildings across the street. Forum
Ately it was raining at the time
ard the roofs were wet. This added
to the fact that the wind at the time
was not blowing hard. il what pro-
bably saved a confsgration. Had il
been dry and windy nothing could have
saved the whole row of houses on the
east side Of the track. The con.
tinuous blowing Of the FIRE alarm
whistle and the tremendous blaze thai
shot high in the air, attracted many
from Smyrna and surrounding countr!
besides nearly the whole population
Of Clayton. The Clayton fremen,
considering the limitations and equip
ment they had, did splendid work.

MILFORD, Del, July 6.-Bayard
Wharton, of Houston. and William
Comegys, of Millington. Md, we're Sc
riously injured at the railroad cross
ing at Houston last evening, when
the automobile in which they were
riding collided with a freight train.
Comegys suffered a fractured skull
back of the right ear He was other
wise injured. Physicians do not ex.
pect his recovery.
Wharton suffered three serious cuts
on his head and for a time il was
feared that his skull had been frac-
tured His left shoulder is badly in
iured and his body is mass of
bruises. He was unconscious most of
the night but this morning he was
resting easy and was conscious.
Wharton remembered nothing of
the accident other than leaving the
front of his fathers store. Following
the accident calls for physicians we're
sent TO Milford, Harrington and Fred
erica. Dr. Willard Pierce of Milford,
was the first to arrive and he was fol-
lowed quickly by Drs. Dawson and
Pratt of Milford. DR.. Hoey of Freder-
lea and DR.. Lewis Of Harrington. The
latter doctor is the railroad physi-
clan and he ordered a special train
made up at Harrington and brought
to Houston TO take Comegys to the
Delaware Hospital at Wilmington.
Shortly before the train left. DR.
Comegys, Of Millington, Md, a son
of the injured man arrived, and ac-
companied his father to that city In
quiries this morning of the hospital
authorities brought the information
that Comegys' condition was fair
which is taken as an indication that
but little hopes are entertained foi
| his recovery.
The automobile is a wreck.
