Mrs Eliza Jane Tallay, who reside* at No. 017 Orange etreet, was the first witness Hhe was awakened shortly before midnight by e pistol shot, bat thinking It a signal of the police paid no attention to it.

HUIT Correspondence Evening Journal.Dover, Jan. 26.—When the Senate

repaired to tbe House at noou yesterday there was not a vrcxnt seat In the gallery or on the floor id many persona were «tending, ao grea’ was tha Interest manifested In the balloting for United States senator.

Staff Correspondence Evening Journal.Dover, Jan. 26 — Representative Rey-

bold has Introduced a bill to provide for the maintenanos of eertaln publie roads In St. Oeorges and Red Lion hundreds. The bill is drawn for the banefit of the

. Georges Marsh Company, which was chartered in 1763. Of the company’s land 1,266 acres la situated north and west of the Port Penn road, lying be­tween that road and the canal. Tha re­mainder, or 915 sores, is on the east side of the Port Penn road between that road and tbe river. The value of the nroperty is $81,900.

About four miles of county roads are protected by tbe company's banks from being ovsrflowtd by the tides of the Dataware river, as follows: the Port Penn road, one and a-half miles; the Dntch Neck road, about two miles, and two roadn north of the eaual, about one-half mile.

In 1879 $14,000 was spent for rebuild ing the bank, $7,000 of which was paid by tbe county. During tbe years 1881 and 1888 a further sum of $16.000 spent for improving aud protecting the bank, $8,000 of which was paid by the county. Daring tbe seven years follow ing, tbe sum of $5,289, or an average of $750 a year was spent, this enm being paid wholly by the marsh owners In 1891 an act was passed empowering the Levy Coart to bear one-half the cost of maintaining the bank, the total to be paid by the county not to exceed $500 a year. For the three years from 1891 to 1898 inclusive, the sum of $3.650 was spent, of which tbe county paid $1,500. The total oost of maintaining the bankB and slnloes for ten years was $8,889, or an average of $886 a year.

The storms of last Hpring necessitated repairs aggregating $3,400, only $500 of which was paid by the county, the bal­ance being sdvauced by the owners. Tbe connty commissioners were called npon. They inspected the roads and river bank, bat had no right to spend money on the latter. The work, ao far as it has gone, has been thorough, but it is etlll un finished, and from $8 000 to $5,000 more will be needed for grading and stoning.

The sot authorizes, bnt does not cam pel, the Levy Coart to appropriate $1,220 of the public money towards rebuilding and completing the embankments and dikes, and also to make a farther appro­priation towards completing the embank ments, provided that such appropriation shall uot exoeed one half the cost nor in any event exceed the snm of $3,000.

Hound to This Port.

The barkentihe Beatrice, Captain Brown, which salir d from New York yesterday, for Wilmington, in ballast, went ashore on the beach near Scotland Lightship last evening, and will probably prove a total loss.

The Bestrloe passed Sandy Hook at 4.55 o'clock, and at dusk was seen stand­ing In toward the batch. At 7 o’clock a patrolman of life saving station No. 2 reported a vessel ashore about half a mile north of this station. She proved to be the Bestrloe

Captain Edwards, of ths life saving station, and bis crew went at one* to the stranded barkentlne'a assit, tance with their surf boat. The tugboat Stephen Decatur, which was at the Handy Hook wharf, tried to reach the Bestrloe, but the weather was ao heavy outside that she bad to pat back.

Captain Brown aud his crew of sight men. together with their baggage aud the vessel's nautical instruments, were taken off by the life savers. Captain Browu said that be took soundings a short lime before the barkentlne struck, aud h. thought he was further off shore than the result proved him to be.

There was a heavy surf on last night, and It was thought that tbe vessel would go to pieces before morning.

Tbe Beatrice was owned by E L. Lemon, of Barbadoes. She was built In Swedeti in 1873, and was of 288 tons bur- den.

A Stable on Willing Street Destroyed

By Fire—None of tbe Contents Saved.

Neighboring Pioperty Endangered.

Tbe Lose.

Last night was a terrible one for a fire. A fall of hail at 7 o’clock followed by snow and then rain, covered pavements and roadways with s coating of ioe, which made them practically Impassable. There were bat few people on the streets during ths evening and those who were forced to be out, completed their work and harried home

Just before midnight fire was discov­ered In the stable on Willing street, which runs from Fifth to Sixth street, between West and Washington, and an alarm was turned In from box No. 114, corner of Fifth and Washington streets, which brought the Friendship, Fame and Wecsacoe Companies quickly to the soene. Despite the lnclemenoy of the night, the committee of ninety and tha curiosity club were well represented.

The flames had secured a big headway and it was useless to try to save anything in the building where they started, and which was owned by Joseph Geuld and occupied by Charle8 Rarns- berger. Two horses were burned to death and three wagons and a quantity of hay, straw, harness, ete., were destroyed.

The stable adjoining Delonged to Fred Kleole, and two horses and three wagens were rsmeved to places of safety by willing hands This building was not damaged to any extant At one time it locked as thongh tha rear buildings of tha bouses on West street weald oateh, bnt the storm bad rendered them to a great extent fire proof and the firemen sne- ceeded in confining tbe fire to the atabl* where it originated.

The Uould stable haa been on fire four times befoie this, and on each occasion the canse is thought to have bean tramps who were in the habit of sleeping there.

The loss is estimated by Mr Gould at $1,300. Tbe insurance la $1,700 of which $900 Is on the horses, etc.
