| - lieutenant Brown has recently recev-
ed from G pt. E l. Rice of Wilmington a
| generous contributor to toe new Delaware
| College armory and gymnasium building
| fund. This contribution is no less than the
| offer to make all the plans and drawings
| 70 Ri h,il RI,
it is altoger her probable that the lieutenant
in the name of the students and alumni
| will accept it when the building fund is
large enough to warrant the starting and
finishing OF the structure. 1t has not yet.
| however, arrived AT the satisfactory point.
| The amount collected is now about $3.50,
lacking $3.50 of the sum originally intended
to be collected among the friends and
| alumni of the institution, after which about
500 more would be available for this use
from a source not yet made public. So far
about 1915 of the amount collected has come
from Newark alone. the rest coming from
| Wilmington. 1t is earnestly desired that
| the building be commeced before com mence-
meut and to this end final appeals are be-
/
students over tue State for any contribu-
tions from 81 upwards. This seems to be
the last hope.
1t seems that the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad has decided to put into operation
system of track Water troughs SO that water
can be taken by trains while moving at
speed of about 80 miles an hour, as is done
at present and for several years past ty the
w. 81 b. line This improvement is made
necessary by the demand for fast time be
tween New York and Washington. The
lumber and material for this new water
supply system have arrived in Newark, but
no one as yet knows definitely where it will
be located, although one report says about
half a mile east of Newark, where the track
is almost perfectly level. All this is very
dismal news to Newark, which enjoys a
revenue at present amounting to over 81 900
for water which the express engines con-
sumo. 1t will also probably render unnec-
cessary the stop at that place of the two
five hour New York and Washington limit
ed express trains which run from Philadel-
phia to Washington, 1856 miles, in two
hours and so minutes. This time includes
stop at Newark and Baltimore and a
ferry transfer across the bay at Baltimore
The average running speed must therefore
closely approxin ate about 81 miles an hour,
but strangely enough they make this re-
=. narkable run GU time almost every day.
