THE BERMINGHAM ELECTION
A Spirited Contest in Which the Offend
ing Committee is Defeated.

The election for committeeman of the
Birmingham Friends burying ground,
held Monday week, is described as one
of the most exciting elections held in
Chester county, in comparison with
which political contests were tame and
void of interest. The issue at stake was
the vindication of the old committee,
who had created great deal of dis
satisfaction through their order to the
sexton, which resulted in having foot
stones removed from graves and the
mounds leveled off. A large number of
the meetings members resented this in
noyation and made the fight which re-
suited in the defeat of the old commit
tee and trustees as follows.
Three trustees Wellington Hickman,
Thomas II. Brinton, Benjamin Sharp
less.
Eight committeemen-Abr S. Will
liams, William T. Painter, John E.
Huey, William Jones, John Darlington,
Joseph Dilworth, Chauncey Darlington,
John G. Taylor.
Both parties were there prepared for
all legal points which might arise, both
factions being represented by attorneys.
There was no voting on age, no tax re-
SCIpto lCluilGu, Dul tIlbIS WIS GlldlltilB-
ing and plenty of it, but the challenges
did not finally reject the votes in all
cases, Some were received and marked
doubtful" These were held over by
the judges and considered in the general
count after the voters had retired.
All the afternoon there was an almost
constant line of vehicles driving to and
from the school house (the polling
place. and every vote was gotten out
which could be secured, some going
from Wilmington and other points quite
distant. Notable among these was
Thomas Rooney who resides in Indiana.
He had timed contemplated visit to the
east so as to be at this election and cast
his vote for his favorite board of com
mitteemen. A four-horse team from
West Chester carried to and from the
election a large party of friends of the
proposed new board, and many others
drove down from that place. Pretty
young ladies, aged ladies, young men
and old gentlemen with white hair
mingled in the voting place, all deeply
interested in the result and all zealously
working to advance the interests of their
respective friends.
The vote stood, old board, So; new

sILYERBRooK.


The resolution introduced at the meet
ing of the Street and Sewer Department
Tuesday night week to condemn Silver
brook for common sewer, is likely to
considerable discussion. IL was referred
to City Solicitor Lyman for considera-
tion.
1t is stated that sewage from the out
lying western section of the city known
as Silverbrook, is naturally drained into
the stream of the same name, and more
or less of it goes there now. The locality
is good one for large manufacturing
establishments, being on the line of the
b. d o. railroad, but the fact that they
cannot drain into Silverbrook has pre-
vented them from being established
Peter j. Ford's morocco factory is on
the brook, and at one time drained into
it, but is now compelled to pump his
sewage, by steam, to Front and Adams
streets, where his private sewer connects
with the city system of sewers.
II is stated that large planning mill
was recently TO be established on West
Fifth street, near the brook, and siding
to the factory was laid by the b. q o.
railroad. When the company found
that it could not throw its sawdust into
uIlS piboh, thc plOJtCl was given u ups
On the other hand, it can be said that
the stream takes a roundabout course
and empties into Mill creek, which has
its outlet in the Christiana river, at the
pulp works of the Jessup s. Moore
Paper Company. The farmers through
whose property the brook runs will op-
pose any steps towards turning it into
common sewer, because it could not
then be used for watering their cattle.
The Jessup & Moore Paper Company
have, and will fight against the pollu-
ton of the stream, claiming that the
pulp works use the water of Mill creek
for manufacturing purposes.
Some months ago the court of chan
cery ruled, on complaint of the Jessup
d. Moore Paper Company, that the pulp
works and the farmers along the
streams were entitled to their water
in pure state, and that no one had a
right to drain any communicating sub
stances into them. At that time Peter ].
Ford was by injunction stopped from
draining his morocco factory into Silver
brook AT no time however has any
action been taken towards condemning
it as common sewer.

doomed man has voracious appetite and
eats three square meals every day. He

DREDGER ARE FIERY Blue.
| The Oyster Industry at Its Worst and
| the Quilting Law Dead Letter.

CRIsFIELD, Jan. 7.-The steamer
Governor Thomas, Captain II. B.
Howard, Of the state fishery force, ar
rived here this morning, having on board
Commander Seth and his guest, General
Felix Agnus. They found nearly 5000
oyster boats here, but only one house
was working, because of the smallness
of the supply, At all points along the
bay bad reports We're received Of the
condition of the industry. Most of the
oysters have been caught, and the boats
are making no money. The culling law
is regarded as a dead letter by the
dredgers.
There are rumors here of a rehearing
of the Tangier Sound case by the court
of appeals; but reversal of its decision
would do little good, as the seed oysters
have been nearly all scraped. OF a
bushel examined here to-day rs per cent
were under sized. General Seth, Gen
eral Agnus and Captain Howard met
the prominent oyster men of the town,
and discussed the question with them.
The steamer left this afternoon for An
