MIDNIGHT BLAZE AT
HARRINGTON TUESDAY
Spectacular Blaze Destroys Private
Garage And Two Automobiles.
No Insurance Carried.
AN INVESTIGATION STARTED
To Learn Cause Of The Fire As 1t
Is Believed To Have Been Z
Work Of A Fire-bug. =

A spectacular fire occurred in Har-
ringtOn Tuesday about midnight. The
| firemen, with First Assistant Chief
Passmore in charge, were soon on the
job and had the blaze under control.
A private garage located in the rear
of the homes of l.. Morris and Supt. of
Harrington School, M. R. Adams, was
entirely consumed, including an Over
land touring car belonging to L. Nor
ris, and a Dodge sedan belonging to
Mr.. Adam. Another Dodge car, nearly
new, belonging to L. Morris was saw
ed. The loss on this building probably
is $1,00 and the autos were valued at
about $500, with no insurance on cars
or garage. Almost at the same time in
the dwellin, tenanted by Mr.. Adam,
fire was discovered there; this home is
closed for the summer; Mr.. Adams
family being at the seashOre, and he
was out of town all day.-The proper
ty which is also owned by L. Morris,
is damaged to the extent of a thous-
and dollars; which is entirely covered
by insurance. According to reports,
the fire was first discovered in the gar
age by Edgar Tucker, who was call
ing nearby and Immediately turned in
an alarm. The fire in the dwelling
seemed to have started in a closet. It
is also stated that several pieces of
stuffed furniture were ripped open and
paper placed therein and set on fire.
There is considerable damage done to
The furniture and the Chronicle cor
was unable to interview
Mr.. Adam to learn whether his furni- !
ure was insured.
Thomas Fleming and Arthur Below,
wO members of the fire company were
slightly injured, but continued on their
luties until the company returned to
heir quarters.
Believing that the fire is of an in
,endiary origin, the Harrington Town
youncil, working in conjunction with
he insurance company and persons
have called a special citi-
ems meeting at the city hall, to start
n investigation into the cause of the

7. C. du POnt Bought Part Of Simp-
sOpFarm--TO Build Boulevard.

Last Monday morning the public
sale of thirty-six building lots, located
at the southwestern edge of Milford
by the Dixie Brothers, took place on
the land. These sales of real estate
by the successful auctioneers has been
so well advertised in both Maryland
and Delaware, that many persons at

become enthused with the programs
and become buyers. This was the case
last Monday.
A full report of those who bought
these lots-all of which were sold
was not secured, as the reporter fail
ed to secure each individual name, by
reason that several persons bid off
lots for other persons.
The first lot sold was bid off by John
Ingram for $3.50. It was bought for
the purpose of erecting a bungalow
thereon.
Arthur Derrickson bought lots Nos.
z, II, II and Is.

David Boyce bought Nos. 25, 26 and
q, which are mostly located in the
clover field, but one lot takes in some
of the white oak woods.
Henry Cook, of Lincoln, bought
part of the wooded lots and Philip
Lewis bought the remaining parts of
the lots on which the oak trees stand.
The large farm was withdrawn from
sale at called bid of $50 per acre.
The average price realized for the
-hirty-six lots was about $375.00 each
and they were all sold to people who
know their values as building sites.
John Ingram and Arthur Derrick
son guessed exactly the same amount |
he Mystery Lot brought and they di-
Tided the prize.
In several Of the guessing contests
Is to starting price of the lot were
Won by these two men.
A brass band was on the job and

MISS JORDAN Wins STATE
/ HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA

v It is interesting to know, that one
student out of every one hundred in
habitants in the State of Delaware,
outside the city of Wilmington, has
earned State High School Diploma
during the past three years. Prof.
John Shilling, Assistant Superinten-
dent in charge of High Schools in
Delaware outside of the city of Will
mington, stated to the writer this
week, that he had just signed Diploma
No. 1000 and it is issued to Miss Leah
Betty Jordan, Of Milford, for her work
accomplished during her High School
career. This means that since Prof.
Shilling took hold of the High Schools
in Delaware, then Statewide records
have been kept and are available, that
one thousand boys and girls of Della
ware, have recorded work in high
school that has earned for them a d.
plOma, which will be equal, if not of
greater value, than a diploma from a
standard college. In addition to the di-
ploma for Miss Jordan, (who is a stu
dent and graduate of the Milford High
School, and daughter of Mrs. Wilbur
Joseph, whose husband is the Assist
ant Postmaster of Milford), there will
be about rs additional diplomas from
the State given to other students from
all parts of Delaware. Miss Jordan
will take a special course in CONNER
cial business and secretarial work, so
as to be prepared for the most respon-
sible lines of business affairs. She will
be one of the graduates from the Mil
ford High School, in the Plaza Thea
tire next week.

REPUBLICANS WIN
WILMINGTON ELECTION
DR.. George W. K. Forrest Majority
Of 6S9 For Mayor Was Greatly
Exceeded By Other Offices.
CITY COUNCIL REPUBLICAN
About 5000 Voters Did Not Go To
The Polls, But Each Party Was
Affected Alike.

The Republican ticket headed by DR.
George w. K. Forrest for mayor, car
ried the Wilmington city election Sat
urday last, electing the mayor, presi-
dent of City Council, city treasurer
collector of taxes in the northern dis
trict, and the seven Republican mem
bers of City Council who were candi-
dates for reelection.
DR.. Forests majority over A. Vic
tor Hughes, the Democratic candi-
date, was $50 out of total vote for
mayor of 1879, approximately 440O
less than were cast for the heads of
the tickets in the municipal election
two years ago. DR.. Forests majority
showed a proportionate falling off
from that cast for Mayor Leroy Har-
vey two years ago, when the Repub-
lican mayoralty candidate won by a
majority of 1865.
His associates on the ticket won by
much larger majorities, due largely to
the hard fight put up for the head of
their ticket by the Democrats and the
apathy of the voters shown by the
great falling off in the votes polled.
DR.. Forrest carried the First, Sec
ond, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth wards in which the Republican
candidates for City Council were sue
cessful.
Ward Wins by 1867
Howard N. Ward was reelected
president of City Council by a ma
jority of 1861 over DR.. John M. Stad-
ter, Democrat. At the election two
years ago Mr.. Ward was elected over
his opponent by a majority of 1747.
Samuel J. White was reelected city
treasurer over DR.. Thomas o. Cooper,
Democrat, by majority of 2291. His
majority in 1921 was 2719.
John I. Dolan, Democrat, the present
was elected tax collector
for the Southern district over David R.
Jones, Republican, by majority of
702 votes. Dolan received a majority of |
555 votes in the 1921 election.
Elmer H. Klund,. Republican, was
reelected tax collector for the North
ern district blythe largest majority Of
my candidate at the head of the tick
1t. His majority over Bertha M. C.
Reeves, was 3457, as compared with
| majority of 4088, which he received
n 1921.
With the exception of the three new
Democratic Councilmen and the new
mayor elected Saturday, the city gov
,rnment will be manned for the next
wo years by the same men who have
'un it for the past two years. This is
he first time in many years that all !
he members of the City Council have
,een returned, and the result Of the
election is looked upon by the Repub-
leans as approval of the present adj
conduct of the city's af-
airs.
The general apathy of the voters
saturday is noticeable by a compar-
son wit hthe votes cast at the last
General elections.
At the November elections, when a
and State ticket was
oted upon, approximately 16,026 Re ]
ublicans cast votes. On Saturday
My about 1924 Republicans voted.
At the Municipal election two years !
go, 10,941 Democrats and 1906 Re- Z
ublicans voted.
