BURNED TO DEATH
WHILE ASLEEP In BED
A. H. DaIIing Found Dead By His
Wife When Smoke Awakened Her

Albert H. Dalling, aged &c, burn
ed to death Tuesday night at his
home at Cedar Beach while sleeping
in his bed. His wife and two chill
dren, smelling smoke during the
night, went to Mr.. Dalling's room
to investigate and found him dead
while slowly burning in his bed.
While the origin Of the fire has not
been definitely determined, it is
thought that Mr.. Dalling, as was his
custom on going to bed, had been
smoking a cigarette, and for some
reason not yet discovered, first be-
came unconscious and then the
bed clothes took fire. DR.. o. V.
James was summoned, and the de-
ceased was brought to Milford to
w. G.. Powders undertaken office.

LOFLAND PROPERTY
BROUGHT SMALL PRICE
Building Occupied By First National
Bank, And Bank Stock Sold

The sale of the real estate of the
late DR.. James P. Lofand was held
on Wednesday afternoon, and the
property located at the corner of
Front and Walnut streets, North
Milford, sold to Norman Windsor
for $4,000 This is considered a
low price by persons familiar with
real estate. A long-term lease,
which still has thirty years to run
for the bank portion of the build
ing, probably kept many persons
from bidding. The bank stock
owned by DR.. Lofland sold for fine
prices, one block of five shares be-
ing bought by Mrs. James H. Stan
ton for $615.OO and $625.OO per
share. Ten shares Of bank stock
was sold to J. P. Hammond for
$625.00 per share.

DELAWARE BAY SHAD
IN MILFORD MARKET
Henry Ingram Caught Fifty Shad
And Some Trout Wednesday =

Henry Ingram, who has been
hauling his seines at Slaughter
Beach for number of years, caught
fifty fine shad on Wednesday. The
fish were brought to Milford where
they sold readily. On Tuesday Mr..
ingram caught the first trout of the
season. He again caught trout on
Wednesday. While Milford markets
have been supplied with shad for
several weeks past, they have been
southern fish or Chesapeake Bay
shad. These fish do not have the
flavor of the Delaware Bay shad,
and many fish lovers do not buy the
earlier catches Of fish. The Della
ware bay shad season will be on
in full swing within few days if
the weather continues warm and
seasonable. There are a number
of fishermen who make good money
each season from Cedar and
Slaughter Beaches, and the fact
that the fish have commenced to
run is pleasing news to them.

FIREMEN HAD HARD FIGHT
Companies From Milford, Dover,
Camden And Wyoming Pour
Water On Fire For Hours.

Fire, Of unknown origin, which
started in the Office of the Harring-
ton Journal about 10 O'Clock Tues
day night, burned several business
places, lodge rooms and offices, and
threatened the entire business sec
ton. Firemen from Milford, Dover,
Camden and Wyoming answered a
call for assistance and for hours
pumped water on the burning build
ings to check the spread of the
flames.
When the fire was first discovered
it was burning in a small area on
the side wall of the interior Of the
Journal Office. Before aid could be
summoned, however, it had spread
rapidly and when the Harrington
firemen arrived the place was a bur-
ming furnace, and was doomed. The
Harrington Journal is owned and
edited by Mr.. Burgess. Plans for the
future had not been made as this is
written. Adjoining the printing
offices was the Harrington Bakery.
The flames soon spread through this
place and it was completely destroy

modern machinery and was one of
the best of the smaller plants on the
peninsula. The printing Office and
the bakery occupied the frame build

CRISFIELD SWEPT
BY DISASTROUS FIRE
THURSDAY NIGHT
About Six Blocks OF Stores And
Dwellings Were Burned To
The Ground.
STARTED In A THEATRE
New City Will Rise From Ashes
OF Thriving Chesapeake Bay
Town. =


Crisfield, Maryland, was visited b,
one of the most disastrous fires in
the history of the Eastern Shore late
Thursday night of last week.
Scores of buildings were reduced
to smouldering ruins, one man is
dead, another seriously injured; sew
oeral volunteer firemen were over
come by the smoke and the damage
is estimated by the business men of
Crfsfeld to be $2,500,00O. Just how
much of this is covered by insurance
could not be estimated. Only a shift
in the wind and the prompt response
and heroic efforts of fire companies
from half dozen nearby towns on
the shore prevented the complete
destruction of Crisfield and residents
are generous with their praise of
those men who travelled many miles,
in some instances, and worked all
night to help the Crisfield fire COM
.pany combat the flames and eventu-
ally subdue them.
Six business blocks are in total
ruins, the site where Sc commercial
houses and 81 residences stood. The
fire started from film that had ig-
nited in the projection room of the
Arcade Theatre.
Residents of Crisfield have held
meetings this week and are already
planning to build bigger and bet
ter town.
More than 500 men, women and
children in the audience filed out of

fusion as good night" was flashed |

manager and smoke began issuing in |

balcony.
The theatre in few moments was
in a mass of flames, the sheet metal
of the walls curling from the heat
like tissue paper. The blaze spread
to stores on either side and down
the south side of Main street.
Famed by a light breeze, the
flames leaped across the street,
sweeping four blocks as if with
single leap. Down Maryland avenue
to Pine street the fire rushed, reduc-
ing Pine Street Station of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, brick structure,
to the bare lower walls. From there
sparks flew across the railroad /
