THE WORK ON HAND AT THE HARLAN
~ HoLLINGswoRTH cos YARDS.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
who recently visited Wilmington, gives
the following account of the work on
hand in the yards of the Harlan & Hol-
lingsworth Company. All of these bus
iness items have been published from
time to time in the Wilmington papers,
but even now, when printed together,
they make an interesting article:
The Harlan d Hollingsworth Company
have now on the ways three iron steam
ers, two of which are for Baltimore, and
the other is double turret, double bot
tom, armor-plated monitor and ram,
which has been in process of construction
for the government for two years. The
first of the steamers for Baltimore is to be
an Old Bay Liner, which is expected to
reach Baltimore finished in July next.
This steamer is $50 feet long, 35 feet
breadth of beam and 62 feet over all, and
IA feet deep, side wheels, 80 feet diane
ter and feet face, walking beam, engines
so inches piston diameter and II feet
stroke, with two tubular boilers in the
hold, as in the Florida of The same line.
The iron hull is finished and the upper
works of wood are going forward actively
The capacity will be 1.200 tons.
The other steamer for Baltimore is TO
run on the Chester river route. This is
also a side wheel steamer, 1856 feet long
27 feet breadth of beam, and Sd feet over
all and 8 feet deep; engine 38 inches pis-
ton diameter and feet stroke; wheels "a
feet diameter and 8 feet face. The ton
age will be 500. Workmen are now riv-
citing the outer shell of thick boiler iron
with hundreds of hammers. Inside the
hold there are dozen portable forges
where the rivets are heated red hot and
hammered into the eyelits, presenting a
novel and busy aspect of blacksmiths and
machinists building ship to the eyes Of
one accustomed to see wooden knees and
oak sheathing put into place by ship car
penters with adj, copper bolts, hammer
and saw.
The hull of the monitor is finished land
it is covered with its iron deck, while the
immense turrets lay near by, ready to be
put in place. The monitor is a stupen-
dous piece of naval iron architecture, 250
feet long, Sc feet wide over all and II
feet deep, with immense engines for pro-
pellers. The turrets, which are double,
the pilot-house and the guns are each
three hundred tons weight. Two years
have been already consumed in construc-
ton, but the work is not actively pushed.
The "monster" is ready for armor back
ing, which will be wood, over which ar
NOR plating, to resist modern ordnance,
will shortly be placed. The monitor is
what is called 'double BOTTOM" practic-
ally ship within ship, and divided in
to thirty-two compartments, with valves
for sinking, as desirable in action to pro-
tect the vulnerable parts. The bottom is
''as broad as whales back" to sustain
the heavy top architecture.

lssaDrove,,ae,,fs.

As spring advances so does the improve
ments on buildings around the city. One
Of the most important and at the same
time one that will add decided improve
ment to the neighborhood is the one
being made by E, McInall, Jr., at his
drug store corner of Second and Market
streets. The improvements to be made
will be new and handsome cornice
around the top of the building, which
will be surmounLed by sign to extend
around the building. All the present
window sashes, will be replaced by the
French style. The store front will be
painted green oInamented with gold, and
the entire brick work will be painted a
bright red. Y
Messrs. Hartman and Fehrenbach, are
having the dancing platform at Rosendale
Park, thoroughly repaired, all the old
boards will be taken up, and replaced by
new ploughed and groved ones. The plat
form will also be covered with tin roof
so that in case of rain during picnic
the dancers will be protected. Several
other improvements will also be made to
the park.
L, K. Jones is having another story
added to his house at 1T Shipley street,
which greatly enhances its appearance.

as the season does, and the political

Upon visit of a GAzETTE reporter
this morning, to the Office of Pusey,
Jones u Co, they report that they
have received contract for the build
ing of two 30 inch Fourdiner paper
machines, fer Jessup s. Moore, to take
the place of those burned at the fire of
the St Augustine mills.
Besides tue above they have contra
ted with the government officials of
the U. s. of Columbia, for the build
ing of two iron tug boats rs feet long
to run In the Port of Savanello.
Besides the above they have also re-
ceived an order for the building of a
large engine and boiler for the steam
ship Aries that plies between the ports
of Philadelphia and Boston.
The above announcements are not
only gratifying to the firm, but will
also act in the same way upon the
large number of workmen, who have
been idle for SO long a time.

NEW SCHOOL LAW AFFECTS THE BoARD
by the provision of the new school
la " for Wilmington, passed at the re-
csnt session OF the Legislature. the
eiection Tor members of the Board of
Public Education will take place on
the first Saturday in May, instead of
the nist Saturday in April, as hereto
Iore, and the terms of membership
which expired on5the last mentioned
day were extended to the time of the
election.
Inc names OF the members whose
terms expire this spring are as follows:
First Ward, VIM. Fl. Pierce; Second.
John II. Moore; Third, John E. Frock !.
Fourth, Allen Smith, who was elected
70 NIL out the unexpired term of James
Woolley, resigned; Fifth. Levi C. Bird:
sixth, K. O. Fraim; Seventh, Philem-
ma chandler; Eighth, Messrs. Under
wood, Jefferis and Belts (who were
chosen to fill out the unexpired terms
OF Messrs. Zebly and J, G. Morrow re.
signed, and VIM. s. Hllles, deceased1 :.
Ninth, DIR. E G.. Shortledge; Tenth
George r Roberts.
AS the new law reduces the mem,
bership of the Board to twenty, two
from each Ward stead of thirty ,as at
present, no election would be necessary
were it not for the redivision of the
Sixth and Eighth Wards, and the fact
that in the Third, Sixth and Ninth
Wards, Messrs. George W. Vernon,
pr. L. Kittinger and John Palmer are
filling until the election in course, the
terms of members who had resigned
their seats. 1t also happens that the
III sent members from the old Eighth
" ard all reside in the Sixth Ward as
recently defined by an act of the Cen
eral Assembly, which vacates the en-
tire membership of the new Eighth
Ward, and renders IT necessary to elect
TWO members-one to serve one year
and the other tive years. AS fifteen
members of the Board hold over one
more year, only FIVE need be elected at
the ensuing election, but annually
thereafter ten members will be elected
-one from each Ward.
The new Board will organize inn
mediately after the election. Henry
Eckel, of the Sixth Ward, and DR.. G.
Elton Buck, of the Fifth Ward, are
candidates for President; and VIM. II.
Cloward, the present incumben', VIM.
u. Lee, and r. q. Fraim are canu Idates
for the office of Secretary and Treasur-

THE FISH MARKRr.-The tish market
this morning was very poorly supplied
with shad, some of the dealers not
having one for sale. Geo. w. Powell in
the Third street market. who was en-
tirely out, stated that on Monday there
were 5000 Delaware shad in PhIladel-
phia, and yesterday he telegraphed for
some and received reply that there
was not one in the market.
The number received in the city We're
only 81 and sold for $50 per hundred,
most of them being small. The south
ern were even fewer, not one having ar
rived here.
The only reason assigned for the
scarcity is that the weather has been
so stormy that it has been impossible to
fish

burglariously entered by thieves, who
effected their entrance by forcing open
the shutters of side window with
chisels. After getting inside the thieves

they attempted to open, but the drawer

SEVERELY BURNED Yesterday lit
tie three year old son of William Ander-
son, residing on French street above
Fifth, was severely if not fatally burned.
The burning was the result of the care
lessness on the part of the mother, as she
went out and left the child alone. and
during her absence, it crawled into the
open fireplace, where there had been a
fire during the day, the smouldering en-
bers set fire to its clothes. The screams
of the little unfortunate fellow attracted
the attention Of the lady next door, who
ran in and found the child's clothing in
flames, and before she could subdue them
he was burned around the face, arms and
body. A physician was sent for, and up
on arriving did all in his power to allevi-
ate the sufierings of the poor child.

Our City proved conclusiveIy yesterday
that Democracy still lives and that "Con-
missions" or compromises of any kind
will not be tolerated in this section. Ev-
cry effort was put forth to force upon
this city ticket having the names of 3
Republicans, and as q necessary copse-
quence it met with an overwhelming de-
feat. So long as the great Democratic
party stands by its first principles so long
will they be victorious. Its motto should
be no compromise, no more commissions
and victory will always perch upon its
