The Rumor Concerning the Harlan AN
Holiingsworth Co. Pronounced Untrue.

The Rumor Concerning the Harlan and
Holiingsworth Go. Pronounced Untrue.
The Baltimore Sun of this morning
gives currency to the following senseless
rumor: ''lt is understood at the Navy
Department in Washington that the Har-
Ian & Hollinsworth Company of VIII
mington Del, are arranging for the re
moval of their shipbuilding plant to a
site adjoining the new steel works at
Steelton, near Baltimore. The proposed
location would give them better facilities
for transportation, with dock frontage
on deep water where the largest ships
could be launched The Harlan n Hol-
lingsworth Company Is one Of the largest
wood. iron and steel shipbuilding con.
steamship Dorchester, the Bay Line
steamers Georgia. Carolina and Virginia
and nearly all the side. wheelers out OF
this port were built by this firm. Fully
one thousand men or more are alone en-
ployed in shipbuilding. The firm are
also largely engaged in carbuilding. A
report was recently circulated in Balti.
more that the company intended to re-
move their works to Baltimore Members
of the firm and those closely associated
with them denied that any such q move
was contemplated. The revival Of the
rumor in such reliable quarter rs the
Navy Department would seem to indicate
that there might be basis for the truth
Of the reported move
A EVENING JOURNAL reporter saw Mr.
H T. Cause this forenoon and submitted
to him the above clipping. After reading
It he he quietly, but decisively, remarked
that there was not word of truth In It,
Mr.. Cause further stated that repre-
| sentative Of a Baltimore paper called
him last TO make inquiries concerning
the contemplated removal. He told the
reporter in such positive terms that the
matter was not even under consideration
bg the Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany that he thought the false report
had been effectively KILLED and nothing
more would be heard Of it.
Secretary Tracy Of the United States
navy about two weeks ago, in an inter.
view recommended the building OF ten
wal ships, one of which he said the Har-
Ian and Hollingsworth Company could
build; one could be constructed at Ches.
ter, another in Baltimore two In Phila-
delphia, and the rest in the National
navy yards. The discussion OF
whether the Harlan and Hollings
worth Company had water facilities
| for launching cruiser in the Christians
is no doubt the foundation Of the rumor
about the contemplated removal The
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company have
every facility for building and launching
ships OF any size and the members Of the
firm are perfectly satisfied with their To-
cation in Wilmington.

a sYmnathetic strnnrer.

A woman named Lyman and who lives
in Spring Alley, had her pocket picked
in King street market on Saturday Dis
covering Immediately that her purse had
disappeared she suspected a man who
had jostled her as he passed, and quickly
following him she took hold of the
stranger and accused him of the theft.
The man was peculiar sort of a fellow
for instead of getting angry, as most
honest men would, he asked the woman
how much was in the purse Upon her
answering that it cantained $l.15 he
took $40 bill from his pocket and, go
ing into a neighboring saloon had it
changed, and gave the woman the
amount she claimed TO have lost, all the
time protesting that he was not the thief,
and expressing his sympathy for the her
poverty. A great many of the witnesses
Of this episode say that in their
opinion he was a very slick fellow and
that he had passed the purse to confed-
crate when he saw he was followed and
only paid the money to avoid arrest.

Damages Asked for Losses Caused by
Water Flooding G sIlar.
When the Superior Court convened
this morning, Spottsvfood Garland. of
Baltimore, was, on n otion of William G
Spruance, admitted. TO practice in the
courts of the stat ..
The trial of the case OF Anderson &
Son VS.. the Mayor and Council of Viii
mlngton was begun. Levi Q. Bird and
Andsew f Sanhnrn Esqs.. are counsel for
the plaintiff and City Solicitor Henry G.
Turner aud Judge j. Frank Ball for the
city.
The following jury was drawn: Hiram
Vandyke, Frank NJ Collins, Alexander p
Carn agy. George M. Bright, William p
-Biggs, William Cooch, George Boulden,
Benjamin L. David, Alexander Deakyne
and w. f. Smalley.
The action is brought to recover dam
ages caused by repeated aoodings of the
store occupied by the plaintiffs, at the
southeast corner of Delaware avenue and
jackson streets, during the months of
January, February, March and April
1888, caused by the defective condition
of Delaware avenue.
Mr.. Sanborn opened for the plaintiff
before the court and the jury. 1t is
claimed by the plaintiff that the proper
authorities had notice of the condition of
the street and of the continued hoodings
of the cellar, and allowed the nuisance
to continue. A permit was issued
allowing plumber to dig a
trench in the avenue to connect
some new houses with the sewer
from this trench the water ran into the
cellars of the new houses and thence per
colated through to plaintiffs cellar, fill
Ing it to the brim and damaging all the
goods stored in it. The loss is estimated
at about $1,000.
The first witness was Joseph L. Car.
penter, Jr, president of the Street and
Sewer Department, who identified the
permit issued to the plumber.
Ezekial Anderson senior member of the
plaintiff company, testified that the
trench which caused the trouble, was
dug on December 3d. 1887. He described
the trench in detail He found the cellar
full Of water on the morning of Janu-
AIRY ;, 1888, A fire engine pumped the
water out taking nearly all day. The
other cellers were full of water and
it drained down into the PLAINTIFF
cellar when it was pumped out. Joseph
l. Carpenter said he had nothing TO do
with the matter The trench was filled
up on January by the plumber. The
trench was full of mud for the next three
months and water drained into the cellar
continually.
Mr.. Anderson was cross-examined by
Judge Ball. and court adjourned until
2 30 o'clock this aftern oon.
