Editor Eptry hScntng; My attention has
been called to communication in your
paper Of the 10Th ult., from your special
correspondent here in which he quotes the
following from the Milford Chronicle, a
weekly paper 1.-THE public schools of
North Milford should be closed until after
Christmas. Il is a shame that those who
had control should permit the Itch to pre-
vail for seven weeks without keeping the
infected one out of school"
ut was not known positively that
the itch was prevailing i'll the
school until this week when several
new cases were reported, but now fully a
score are troubled with the dread disease
When reporter for live daily paper like
EVERY EVENING is compelled 10 60 to
weekly paper for news il is time for him
to step down and out, and it is particularly
so when he selects articles SO grossly incor-
rect as the above when the facts were within
his reach. There has only been four cases
suspected even and they were. ordered to
stop at once j. Y. FouLK.

building just outside the city, and owned
by the du Pont Powder Company, eU
ploded this afternoon the concussion

The explosion was caused by the foolish
act of n soldier named Syms III firing a rifle
at the building. The ball caused some
dynamite to explode, and the explosion of
the powder followed. Seeing the crowd
rushing for the scene. Syms ran away and
hid himself in the creek below. He was
ovcrtakeu and brought back, badly scared,
but when assured that no violence would
befall him he seemed to consider himself q
hero.

Of rock which was rent in boulders all the

or more. Not o vestige Of the walls re.

MILFORD, Nov 2G.--navid Miller, we'll

last night charged with the theft o. u SHIRT
from john Minner aud was held in 500
bail for court in default of which he was
lodged in the town Jail until this morning
when he will be sent to Dover If the bail is
not furnished. George Adams, another
worthless character, was with Miller when
the theft was committed and took the
stolen property, but so far has evaded the
police and arrest.
Detective Hutchins of the Game Protec-
tive Association, was here yesterday look
ing after the case of q man named Bennett
of Slaughter Neck, who shipped a box of
birds out Of the State contrary TO law. The
box was billed by the agent of the. Adams
Express Company here, but ms he had not
received instructions as tn the shipment Of
game, he is eXoncrated from blame. De
tective Hutchins and Route Agent Tunis
Of the express company will be here to-day
to settle the matter.
II is surprising how few quail are heirG
killed by the gunners in the vicinity of
Milford. Before the law was ont sports-
men were given the impression that game
was plentiful but as yet they have not been
able to find ii. Ii may be that the con-
tinucd warm weather keeps them in the
woods and as soon Us the weather becomes
a little cooler inpd VIII become scarce III
the woods and the birds will have to come
out to feed The largest number of birds
