Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
NEW CASTLE, Oct. Chief Marshal
James j. Toner and his corps of assist
ants were busy all last evening at the
Lenape engine house, arranging with
paper and pencil the great parade which
will be held here just one week today, or
on October 10, in connection of Delaware
State Firemen. New Castle is 80 laid
out that it would puzzle a deep-thinkiDg
man to get a big parade Strengthened out
for once to march all over the city. Mr.
Toner has, however succeeded in plan
ming this, but it required nights of study
and some assistance. In fact, the fire
men are working hard enough with the
arrangements for the day, to ensure the
great success of the convention Of 1892.
Everything now points to success from
beginning to end and all are hopeful that
the visitors will spend an enjoyable and
profitable day here
