PAUL PRY's GLENDALE
LETTER.

The snow storm of last Sunday
which set in so much like a blizzard
with the thermometer down to two
above; with pumps stuck and wood
piles empty, made poor attendance al
the schools for a day or two, but now
no one is suffering or in want.
The most disastrous fire Ellendale
has ever experienced took place on
Friday afternoon about five o'clock
when fire was discovered in the NJ
E. Church. The Epworth League was
in its usual Friday session, when the
flames were discovered between the
ceiling and the roof, supposed to be
caused by a defective flue. They
mounted from there to the steeple and
it was soon apparent that despite the
heroic efforts of the many who re-
sponded that the building was doom
ed. Glendale has no fire fighting ap-
paratus and a poor supply of water,
and but for the calm weather and the
wet buildings more Of the town might
have been lost. The church was built
by Henry Short in 1882. and cost 81
900. Insurance for 5000 was carried,
in the Kent County Mutual, and DR..
PaynteT of Georgetown came on Tues
day to adjust the claims. It is now
probable that a new and more com
modius church will be erected at once
as we'll as some kind of fire fighting
apparatus purchased.
The Pennsylvania railroad has
large gang of carpenters here at work
on the station. Why they do not build
a new and suitable station, instead of
wasting money on this old ramshackle
building, Is a mystery to the town peo-
pie. The station was built fifty years
ago, and was only a makeshift then

CARRANzA HAS
A NEW PLAN
SUBMITS PROPOSAL THAT THE
BORDER BE PLACED UNDER
JOINT CONTROL.
WOULD STOP RAIDS
CaIranZa Also Wants Permission
For Mexican Troops to Cross
on American Side in
Pursuit of Raiders.

MEXICO CITY. Mey 1O.-The
feeling here today was most opti-
mistic over the result of the Juarez
conferences and this despite few
early reports indicating friction.
If the negotiations between Scott
and Obregon have been halted it is
not because of any insurmountable
obstacles, Carranza told the United
Press.
Pending a thorough examination
of the agreement and final approval
by the Carranza government there
will be no further exchanges. When
the agreement is formally ratified it
is expected that the negotiations will
be resumed.
1t is understood that the agree
ment as finally made provides for
the withdrawal of the American
troops and provision will be made
for Joint control of the border to
prevent further attacks on American
towns and ranches. 1t provides that
CarranZa and American detaehments
be stationed along the border ana
by this means the border would be
effectively patrolled. The CarranZa
government. will insist that the pro
tocol now being framed, accord
Mexican troops the same right 10
cross to the American side when
necessary TO hunt down raiders VINO
cross to Mexico from the American
side. This provision. it is said, Is
to guard against attacks by Huerta$
svmpathizers and other enemies OF
the Carranza government or the
United States.

Fresh revelations in the case OF Mrs.

of four inmates have removed them
