TO ROOM MILFORD.
Citizens Organizing BOard of Trade
The New Shirt Factory--HopiDg for a
Stocking Mill.

Citizens Organizing Board of Trnde--
The New Shirt Factory--HopiDg for a
Stocking Mill.
Special CORRESPONDENCE OF Gazstte and journal
MILFORD, Feb 1O.-A meeting of citizens
was held in the parlors Of the Dorsey
House last evening TO discuss the advis-
ability Of organizing "A board of trade for
Milford. Owing to the heavy rain storm
that was prevailing the attendance was not
very large. DR.. George w Marshall was
called to the chair and briefly told the OBJ
ject of the meeting and gave many reasons
why such step should be taken Manu-
featuring industries are greatly needed
here and as we can offer them all the
facilities required as to transportation,
having both railroads.
The only drawback has been no one to
intercede for such industries as could be
induced to locate here. Now that water
works are almost settled fact other steps
can betaken to make the town more at
tractive and prosperous.
A committee consisting Of Dir. g. w.
Marshall, George II. Hail. William A.
IIumes James NJ Hail. James P. Pierce,
Frank Reedy and Dr. Pratt were appointed
to frame a set of bylaws and constitution
to be presented at the meeting to be held
on Tuesday evening next at thesame place
1t was stated at the meeting last evening
that knitting mill from one of our large
cities could be induced to locate its place of
business here il satisfactory terms were
offered. This would employ about 300 per-
SONS and the board of trade as soon as or
ganized will probably endeayor to have
them remove to Milford.
Mr.. Crosby, representing Strawbridge &
Clothier, is here to attend to the moving of
the shirt factory to Co. BIS armory, on
Church avenue. An engine will be used
to run the machines, thus making il easier
for the operators. The engine could not
be placed in Reedy's Hall, where the fac
tory is now located, as it is insured in the
Kent County Mutual Insurance Company,
and they do not take any risk on steam, so
il had to be moved. The firm expects soon
to erect large building for the manufac-
ture Of its goods, and as soon as the opera
tors can be drilled properly il is probable
that the whole city plant of the firm will
be located here.

TO BE HANGED IN pUBL1c.
And 1t Is Doubtful If the Governor VIII
Interposc.

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal
Dover, Feb. 10.-Ciovernor Reynolds
spent worrying day here trying to
decide what course he ought to take in
regard to Frederick Young, the junior
of the murderers awaiting death on the
gallows next Friday. The governor
would like to be merciful, but he wants
at the same time to be just. He said this
afternoon that, in order to better inform
himself on this subject, he had asked
every one who called on him, as TO what
he thought should be done, and three
out of every four had expressed the
opinion that Young should be hanged;
that the law should be allowed to take
its course. Later in the day he was in
formed that Judges Houston and Cullen
agreed with the chief justice in fayoring
a respite for Young, and, harasaed by
increasing doubt as TO his proper course
in the premises, he took the afternoon
train for Wilmington to consult further
with the judges and the attorney-gen-
eral. Governor Reynolds left word here
that he did not expect to be back before
Thursday morning, and could not say
what he should do until then.
Sheriff Cole, anxious to conform to
the spirit of the law and to show proper
regard for the sentiment of many people
against the hanging of these negroes in
public, went to Hazel and Pennewill
this morning and got their figures for
the construction of temporary enclosure
which would secure privacy. This firm
agreed to loan the lumber for an en-
closure 16 to Is feet high and SO by AZ
feet in linear dimension, without a roof
of course; to put up the structure, and
to take it down and cart away the lum-
Der after the execution, for the very
reasonable consideration of $24. The
sheriff reported this offer to the levy
court this afternoon. That body took
it into consideration and voted it down,
by 5 to 4. Consequently the hanging
will be public. 1t is not likely to be
conducted even inside the board fence
in the rear of the Jail, for the reason
that the uneveness OF the ground and
the presence of sewer there render
that enclosure, in the sheriff's judgment
unavailable. The probability is there
fore that the scaifold will be erected in
the open lot to the west of the jail be-
tween 1t and the county building, which
is separated from the street by only q
paling fence. A New Castle man, who
has OBLIGATED in this capacity at II hang
ings, will erect the scaffold and assist
Sheriff Cole in looking after all the pre-
liminarins
