Polvogt Co., WM Insured for 31.70O Mr. Behrend's Ininrmne 9,0OO Mr. Behrends to Baboild. Great crowds of people viewed the ruins of -the Are on Friday in the dry goods house of Messrs. CW. Polvogt & Co., at No. 9 North Front street, and in the -warehouses and naval stores yards on the wharf "between Ann and Nun itreets. : At both, places - the fire made a clean sweep. - There Is no theory for the origin of the fire in Messrs. Polvogt & jo. a store. Mr. C. W. Polvogt says' there had been Are during the day In the heating furnace in the cellar, hut he does not think the fire caught from it. He says it caught in the cellar of In the rear part of , the store oh the first floor. Messrs. Polvogt & Co. had $31,700 In ..in on their stock, with the fol lowing underwriters: With Wlllard & Giles, $8,000; i-wlth I. - H. - Stedman, 32.000: with Colonel Walker Taylor. $5,000; with W. w. Hodges. z,60u; wu a .t w. Boatwrist & Son. $9,000; wit Atkinson & Son, $2,700; with Dr. W. W. Harrlss,' $2,500. Mr. Polvogt thinks the Insurance will about or nearly cover m loss on stock, but there will he a big loss, on account of the stoppage Of the business. He expects to resume business t the oM stand as soon a4 Mr. S. Behrends, owner of the building. can have it repaired or rebuilt. Mr. Behrends tells us that he will have the building repaired or rebuilt. as soon as the - loss is adjusted ana lnhrnnee settled He does not know yet whether the walls of the building will have to be taken down or not. It is said that the north wall is damaged and will have to be puHed down, but It is believed the other walls are intact. The amount of his Insur ance waa only $9,900. as follows: With Colonel. Walker Taylor, 6,900; with X H. Boatwriirht & Son. $1,500; with John Wilder Atkinson & Son, $1,500. The in surance will not quite cover his loss. It, "is estimated that the damage to the Purcell House building and . the stores occupied by Messrs. H. J. Ger ken and George Honnett, will amount to from $500 to $600. This loss is cover ed Ty insurance. The losses in the second Are, the one that occurred in the warehuses and naval store yards on the wharf be tween Ann and Nun-streets, were cov ered by insurance as follows: The P. C. Calder estate, on warehouse $1,000, on wharf $200; -the F. J. Lord estate, od warehouses $900; Mr. S. P. McNair on spirits turpentine, rosin, spirits casks, molasses, etc., $3,000. Mr. Wm. Calder and Mr. F. A.' Lord state that their loss will be about covered. Mr. McNair informs us that his loss will be from $1,500 "to $2,000. His loss is more than covered. - In the latter fife Captain E. D. Wil liams, of the stem tug Marion, did fine service with the steamer's fire aparatus. He reached the scene just in time to save several thousand bar-' rels of rosin in the naval stores yards of Messrs. Williams and Murchison.

A Caae e of Right Hen In the Right Place The Messenger was able to appear yesterday nearly as early as usual. much to our surprise and greatly to our gratification. This was all due to the hard and wlllinjr work done by each and every one connected with our composing room," The Messenger "feels proud of Its employes' and hazards nothing in saying that no office in the country, has more faithful and devoted workers that the Messenger. We are proud of them and they can be counted on every time. "For La Grippe, at the start, take your oea ior a aay on a Pine Fibre jyiaiiress. . - Shipping Arrived Here In February.

The Messenger does not wish to ap pear captious by any manner or means. but there are two things that need im mediate attention and Investigation for the sake of public safety. One is the fire alarm system and the other is the matter of pressure at the waterworks when there is a" Are. i When there have been fires it has been a frequent occurence that the fire alarm system has been out of order. This causes -delay in the Are depart ment's teaching Ares and consequently allows Ares to make headway, thus the suiting in the endangerment and de struction of property and the imperil ing of the lives of our people. Who is to blame for this defect in our fire alarm system we cannot say, but we do say that the matter . should be" promptly and thoroughly investigated and remedied at once. The fault may lie in the fire alarm system itself or In its condition or in Its management. In either case, the blame should be traced to the proper source. There is also frequent complaint that when fires occur, there is delay in giv ing pressure at the waterworks or that there is insufficient pressure. - This also results in destruction of property and and danger to life itself, and asjit is a very . serious matter it demanfis the earnest attention of our city authori ties. We have no criticism td make upon the waterworks company or any body else, for we. do not know where the blame lies, but for the public good our city authorities ought to find out. At the fire in Mesrs. C. "r"' Polvogt & Co's. store on Friday night it was a long time before sufficient pressure could be had to throw a stream to the top of the' building. There was also the same complaint at the destructive fire on Front and Grace streets on Fri day night of last week. The entering wedge of a fatal com plaint is often a slight cold, which a dose or two of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral might have cured at the commence ment. Therefore, it is advisable to have this prompt and sure remedy al ways at hand to meet-an emergency. The Injured Men. Mr. FItzhugh GibsOn. the young man who was run over and seriously hurt by the buggy of the chief of the fire department, on Friday night, was get ting along quite well yesterday. He was still confined to bed and will be laid up for several days. H has an ugly bah inj the back of his head but fortunatly the skull was not fractured. It happens; that it was the chief's buggy also ran over . Mr. ' C.W.Colwell, at Second and Market streets, Friday night. Mr. Colwell was terribly bruised about the right side of the face and nose and one of his legs and both wrists were sprained and bruised. He suffered great pain, but a Messen ger reporter who called last night at his residence, on Chestnut, street, be tween Third and Fourth streets, found him resting easily. He thinks he will be out in ten days. Mr. Colwell was walking when he was run into and knocked down. The buggy ran over Messrs. Gibson and Colweft in a half square from each other. Mr. S. O. Frostlck, who was run over by another buggy at Third and Market streets about the same time, all the ac cidents occurring in one block was able to be at work yesterday at the bicycle repair shop of Messrs. T. H. Wright & Co. He was sore from his bruises but was not Wadly hurt. His bicvele was a perfect wreck,! and so was Mr. Gibson's.

The rast Week Has fully demonstrated that the peo ple of Wilmington are looking up the different modes of selling pianos, and appreciate a manufacturer' W.W.Kim ball Co. offering them an instrument. "The Kimball," at factory cost, at a saviner of enough in the purchase of a piano to educate the whole family in music. 'When you fling a stone in a crowd the one that it hits will holler' and this same old saying will hold good in the piano business. Not knowing any. one had a "fence" around this town we flew" in a short time ago to introduce the Kimball Pianos and with the assis tance of our many customers here, who know a good thing when they see it, we Drooose to continue to carry out each and every promise made you, and to furnish a better and finer piano in every respect for $198 than an agent will sell you for $350. Our $260 instru ment will cause an agent to to taKe to the woods" in. comparison with others he sells for .twice the money, and $342 will take a better piano, than you can buy of any dealer in the state for $600. We stand ready and willing to test the merits of the "KbaH" against the world. We met them all at the World's fair ana won -nignest honors" easy and can do it again with 'hands down." Just watch the on ward and upward" march of the Kim ball. Hear our "Grand" at the differ- ent concerts here in your city. Exam ine our uprights at 103 Market street and then you will see who was hit." Come while we have them, we will only be here a short time as we have other places waiting and our limited number will soon be sold here. J. C. JELLISON, Special Agent. It The Kimball Piano Indorsed In the Heart lest Manner by the Greategs Ma slrians In the World. It is a notable fact that almost every artist of prominence that" has visited the United States within the past few years has given an eloquent testimo nial to the Kimball piano. The great est singers in the world have united in praising an instrument that embodies the best phase of the skill and devel opment of the piano makers' art. Not only singers, but operatic directors and- band conductors, pianists and compos ers vie with one another in giving their meed of praise to a piano that In every way deserves it. When musicians having the fame of Adelina Patti, Jean de Reszke, Emma Eames, Lillian Nordica, Frau Lohse- Klafsky, Emma Calve, Rosa Sucher, Lilli Lehman, Max Alvery, Edouard de Reszke. Ardita, Maneinelli and others give their unreserved commendations to tne .turn Dan piano, it means tnat it has won a position where its great qualities are above and beyond all question. It has made an international repu tation in a brief space of time that fadrly dazzles one to think of it. And yet this progress is simply the relation of cause to effect. The cause is to be found in the con scientiousness with which the piano is built, the high grade quality of the materials used therln, the. constant striving to develop the purely musical side of the Instrument and the intelli gent methods used in marketing the product of the Kimball .factory, the largest in the world. With this cause there can be only one effect, because the laws that govern these two princi ples of commerce are unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and Persians. There can be but one effect and that has been already achieved by the W. W. Kimball Company. These pianos are on exhibition at 103 Market street. - C. Jellison, special agent, will be here only a short time. placing only a limited number .of these instruments at factory prices, on easy terms. An early selection will insure you a saving of from $100 to $200 In the purchase of a piano. t iMiiimiMMM..... Pain-Killer. (PxmxT Davis'.)
