Firebugs Burn Big Cannery

The large plant of The Atlantic
Canning Company at Rehoboth,
owned principally by Governor
John G. Townsend, was totally des-
troyed by fire of supposed incend-
larry origin on Wednesday night
with a stock of about 100000
worth of canned tomatoes and
other vegetables. A previous at
tempt to fire the plant was frus-
trated by watchman's timely dis
covery of the incipient blaze.
Another cannery nearby was des-
troyed several weeks ago, the sup
posed incendiaries, five Germans
escaping. Four plants within a
radius of six miles have been
burned within a month, and it is
thought the same firebugs are res
ponsible for the several blazes.
The total loss at the Atlantic plant
is put at S125,ooO. Nicholas
Samoni, an Italian, formerly en-
ployed at the plant, was arrested
in Middletown and brought to
Georgetown as a suspect owing to
some supposed threats he had
made as to hiring colored help but
was discharged after officials had
questioned him. Guards have been
stationed and will be maintained
at many of the canneries in lower
Delaware.

there are no grounds whatever for
many of the appeals and that it

His contention is that the District
Board has no authority whatever
to make such appeals unless the
attorney for the Provost Marshal
General files the appeal on a be-
lief that the facts as stated in the
original case were incorrect. No

In Memoriam

In loving remembrance of our
dear mother, Grace A. Rose, who
died September |, 1911.
She suffered hours of pain,
Yet not murmer nor complain ;
But patinently bore it all
Until she heard the Saviour's call.
Dear is the grave where my
mother is laid;
Sweet is the memory that never
shall fade.
Roses may wither, leaves fade and
die,
If others forget her, never shall
we.
