barge T. D. Roberts, went for'ard to
cast off his line, lest he, too, should 60
aground, when the rope broke and a
portion OF the cleat on the bitt struck
him violent blow in the face, lacerat-

knocking him overheard. He rose to
the surface once, but owing to rheu i.
matte affection in both his legs he was
unable to swim or to reach the pole
which was thrown to him by another
pargeman, who witnessed the
accident. The body was grappled
for and found, but life was extinct,

the body was placed aboard and she re-
turned to Delaware City. The proper
authorities were notified, and Deputy
Coroner Giles responded, coming down

engagements toward locating the big

on Wednesday evening and Martin b.
Burris, Esq, was instructed TO draw up

parties. Last evening the signatures
were appended to the document.
The amount necessary to defray the
expenses of moving the plant here has
all been subscribed, and the preliminary
steps toward putting up a suitable build
ing will at once be taken. The strur.
ture will be shout 40x100 feet. with n
few additions, and will be constructed
SO mat the workmen may enjoy every
cony,en lnce. The new concern will
employ about $50 women as soon as it
gets IN good running order, and it is
very probable that the number will be
doubled. The firm will send a few
women operators here with machines in
q few days that they may teach some Of
those who will work in the factory
something about the work to be done
before the factory is ready 10 start up.
The lot on which the building will be
erected lies on Catharine street, and was
donated by Nathaniel Williams. The
intention now is to have the buildinG
up and ready for the machinery by DC,
