ACID PLANT
BURNS
One Death and One Injury the
Result of Flames
SnoW Covered Roofs Saue
the 7own from Blaze

The most serious fire that has
threatened Newark for years oc-
surred last Friday morning about
$50 when flames broke out in the
salicylic acid plant of the E. l. Du
Pont de Nemours and Company,
located on Cleveland Avenue. One
man was burned to death, a sec
ond seriously injured, and two ad-
poining dwellings compl ct e ly
burned. Only a blanket of snow,
conservative observers declare,
saved the greater part of the town
from destruction. Whole burning
shingles were found as far distant
as Main Street, east OF the Center
depot.
Five men were in the. plant at
the time the flames originated, two
of whom were working on the Sec
ond floor of the building. The fire
is supposed to have followed an ex-
plosion of the super-heater of the
sublimer and chemical mixing
machine. The explosion put out
the lights of the building. The
two men on the upper floor, Will
liam Grove, and Harvey Fulton,
groped their way in the darkness,
it is belived, to the elevator shaft,
Where they fell, one to his death,
and the other sustaining serious
injuries. The charred body Of
Grove was found at the bottom of
the shaft by fremen; Fulton was
able to crawl on his hands and
knees beyond the reach of the
flames. He is now in the Ply
sicians and Surgeons Hospital,
Wilmington, where his condition
is reported serious. The men on
the first floor escaped through the
windows.
The dwelling occupied by Earl
Porter and family, just east of the
plant, was burned down. Porter
and his family had to flee in their
night clothes and lost all their
household goods. The house oc-
cupied by Mrs. Crossan, south of
the plant, also was eaten by the
| flames, the household goods being
consumed. The houses were own
ed by Mrs. Jacob Thomas.
The plant destroyed was frame
structure, $50 by 60 feet, and locat-
ed at Cleveland avenue and North
College avenue. It was started by
Newark residents, and was taken
over by the DUPONT Company some
time ago as commercial acid
plant. It was not engaged in the
manufacture of explosives and the
flames are believed to be purely
accidental.
Funeral services over the re-
mains of Mr.. Grove were held
Tuesday afternoon, with interment
in the Newark Cemetery.

HASTINGS
TALKS OF THE WAR
Generation To Measure Up To
Task Before Them

Inc first of series of patriotic
services was held in the Newark
presbyterian Church, last Sunday
evening. Hon. Daniel O. Hastings,
member of a committee appointed
by the government to awaken the
people of Delaware to the serious
ness OF the national situation, was
the speaker of the evening.
Judge Hastings prefaced his
talk with references to the strug-
giles OF our forefathers, declaring
they were forced to meet new con-
dltlons, to struggle with new diff
hcultles, to endeavor to work out
problems for generations vet to
come. Now we are facing new
conditions" he said, 1--WE are 90
ing to face as difficult a task as our
forefathers faced; may we do our
work as we'll.
But before the great construc-
tive burden comes to u.s." Judge
Hastings said, 1--WE have before us
a very difficult task indeed, one
that will test the character of
every man, woman and child in our
county. And the seriousness of the
struggle, even the most intelligent
of our audiences does not begin to
understand.
eff it were not for the United
States today Germany would be
victorious in this great struggle
The great task now is to make the
American people understand that
the task of winning this war is ur
to us, and to get them to do what
they individually should do. MOI
many of us can do much by our
selves; not one soldier that goe!
