George G. Whiteman, the well-known
and popular proprietor of the livery
stables Mt Nos. III and 7l9 Shipley
street, met with serious accident
on Monday evening, while crossing
field on one of William DuPont's farms
in Brandywine Hundred
MIR. Whiteman was riding the iron
gray mare which he rode ut the lair
and was leading brood mare with
colt by her side, which Is customary
for him to do every night. Last night
being in hurry, he took to the field
instead of going two miles around the
road.
When he had gotten the horses in the
field through the gateway the spirited
animal he was riding broke into rap
Id pace the mare and colt following
close behind.
This caused n number of other
horses in the field to follow them,
which frightened Mr.. Whiteman's horse
and 1t became unmanageable. While
1t was running 1t slipped into musk
rat hole and fell, with Mr.. Whiteman
underneath, when he was almost tram
Piled to death by the frightened AMI
mails.
His head was badly injured, and the
only wonder is that he escaped instant
death. He finally managed to reach
house in the vicinity, where his wounds
were dressed, and he was made as
comfortable as possible. He was able
to be out yesterday, and will no doubt
be fully recovered in few day.

WAsHINaToN, d. c.. Sept. 18-The
footing up In the Internal Revenue
Bureau has gone SO far as to show
that the figures In regard to this years
produce OF oleomargarlne are going TO
surprise the dalrymen throughout the
country and others interested In the
manufacture of artificial butter. Last
year the receipts from the tax on oleo-
margarine were $7S6,291 as against
1886, ,247 for the preceding year. a. de-
crease of Sl07,0 ,000 This year there
will be shown an increase OF fully 40
per cent.
The theory held by the officers of
the bureau Is that oleomargarine Is
steadily winning its way in public fav-
or as an article of commerce put upon
the market simply for what 1t Is.
They believe that people generally
are beginning to recognize It as a
cheap and healthful substitute for but
ter. II is noticeable from the returns
that more oleomargarine Is sold In
mining regions distant from the mar
kets than anywhere else. This Is t'e-
cause it Keeps" and does not become
rancid as time goes by. Heretofore
the output OF oleomnrgarine mas de-
pended i'll very great measure upon
the grass crops. When those crops
were good, ana the COWS consequently
gave milk freely, the Government re-
ceipts on account OF the tax upon
oleomargarine amounted to almost
nothing. When the grass did notgrow
well then there came demand Tor
oleomargarine. The unprecedented
figures showing this years increase
from tn > tax on oleomargarine would
induce the belief that it has come to
stay, grass or no grass.

A brilliant Picnic.

The picnic OF Curtis Bros and Sim
gerly's paper makers, at Newark. last

thing to be remembered. The gold

Miss Katie Summer, of Wilmingt on. 1t

two mlnues, and one minutes. In
the last contest there were only cou-
pie called out: Mr.. John Lynch, for
merly Of Wilmington, but now OF Sim
gerly, and Miss Annie DeIlan, OF Will
mington; Mr.. John Brown, of Whining
ton, and Miss Annie Lynch, OF Kirk
wood, and Mr.. James Harrigan and
Miss Katie Summer, Of Wilmington,
Del.
The judges were Mr.. Isaac Brown
Of Wilmington, Mr.. Rummey Of Sim
gerly, and Mr.. George Spence of New
ark, who should receive great credit
for the Just decision they rendered.
Great credit should also bo given to
the committee, MeSsrs. Russell, Hill

they took care Of such large gather
ing of people. Thedirst picnic OF the

The burning OF the mills of the Della
ware Iron Company, at New Castle,
last Saturday evening, is reallya ealam-
ity to the wording people of that city,
and hundreds of men walk the streets,
not knowing where to 20 to look for
work. The mill is boarded up to await
tho action OF the agents OF the insur-
ance companies, and only fifty or sixty

A compromise was effected, under
which about one-half the men return
ed to work, and the remainder will go

It Is now a settled matter that q
catholic convent will soon be erected
ona block of land 300 feet square
bounded by Shallcross. Grant, Gfipin,
and Bayard avenues, on the Kentmere
tract and adjoining the property Of
st. AIMS Catholic church at Gilpin
and Union avenues. The price paid
for the lot is said to be $l4, 900. Bishop
Curtis who has the matter In hand has
not the plans fully matured yet for tho
building.
Owing to the delay In having to
send for plans peculiar to this kind of
building, operations will not be COM
menced until some time next Spring.
The Institution is to be known as the
Convent of the Visitation, and its com.
munity will be sisters Of tho Order OF
ST. Francis de Sales, which was found
ed in France by St. Francis in 1910.
The Academy of Visitation, on Della
ware avenue, is in charge of the sisters
OF this order. There are twenty-seven
Of them, and when the convent is
built all the sisters will be transferred
to 1t and the Academy will revert to
some other Catholic educational pur-
pose.
The now convent will be carried on
according to rigid church law. 1t will
be cloistered and all but four of the
VII 10 W
side all their lives. The folr excep-
tions will be permitted to go out of
the building to pefol m work that has
to be done and they are called "out
sisters Each convent may have 33
sisters but no more.
The nuns will be permitted to see
their friends frequently through graf
ings but their conversation, must be
very brief. None but nuns arc allowed
within the gratings, but the Bishop
can visit the institution once year,
but at no other time can he pass the
grating. II physicians services are
necessary he will be escorted to the
cell of the sister by two nuns.
The nuns are permitted to receive
children left solely to their care for
instruction. Rooms will be provided
where women can go into retreat for
short periods, but they must conform
to the rules prescribed for the nuns.
Bishop Curtis says the building
when completed will be open for in
spection until the nuns are transferred
10 it, after which it will be closed to
the public forever.
