Yesterday's Fire.
The alarm of tire was bounded at
about half past 11 o'clock yesterday
forenoon, while a large proportion of
our citizens were at church. lhe
alarm was caused by the burning of a
small one story frame building, occu
pied by colored people, on tbe causway
about 300 yards from tbo ferry on tbe
West side of the river. As the fire was
located outside of tho city and conse
quently outsido' of the fire limits tbe
engines nor hook cc leader trucks
were taken across. The hooks and
ladders and axes, however, wero car
ried over by members of tbe Hook &
Ladder Co. and were made very useful
in preventing tbe spread of the flames
to Contiguous property. A good many
he members of the fire department
t over and did all that could be
e unuer luo circumstances, lae
caught on the roof, from the chim
ney, ana naa gotten under sucn Head
way when first discovered that it was
impossible to save tbe building from to
tal destruction. The property belonged
to Mr. John D. Bellamy, Jr., and was
not insured. Loss estimated at $150.
TUe Special Delivery.
As Wilmington is one of the cities in
which tbe new special delivery of len
cents letters is to be established, our
people will be interested to know that
the messengers' books, record books
and forms of oath required of the em
ployes are now being sent out to the
special delivery offices so that the sys"
tern may go into operation on October
1. A notico has been sent to tbe post
masters at the offices, requesting them
to send to the department for approval
lists of the names of messengers called
for in the circular ot the Postmaster-
General. So fai4 less than twenty post
masters have complied with the request.
A large number of placards exhibiting
the names of the cities andtowbs where
the special delivery service will be
operated have been sent out to presi
dential postmasters for distribution
among business men. The post offices
throughout the country are, being sup
plied with tho specia1 delivery stamps
at the rato of 1,000 offices each day.
The law requires that letters bearing
the special stamp shall be delivered up
to midnight, and postmasters in towns
where tbe offices close early in tbe
night are anxious to know it they must
keep open their offices until midnight.
If go they believe that an allowance for
he employment of night clerks is in
dispensable. Other postmasters, who
now close their offices on Sunday, are
in a similar position. T' The status of
the messengers is also unsettled, and it
is questionable whether or not , tbey
must be.appointed through the machin
ery of the civil service commission.
