DELKIR RELIEF FUND.


The Committee Decides to Turn Over the
Entire Amount to the Local Committee
at De,mar.
The Delmar relief committee met We'd
nesday at the office of d. W. Taylor,
those present being Mrs. A. ID. Warner,
Daniel W. Taylor, William Lawton,
Enoch Moore, John p. Almond and
Anson A. Maher.
A motion made by Mr.. Maher, that
the $500 in the hands of the relief COM
mittee at Demur be distributed among
the actual sufferers of the town, and the
balance of the contributions be turned
over to the associated charities of this
city, subject to the recall Of their pro
rata amounts bysubscribers 10 the fund,
was lost by tie vote.
A motion made by Mrs. A. d. War
ner, that the $500 in the hands OF the
relief committee at Delmar be dis
tributed, pro rata, among the sufferers
| of the town, and the balance held at the
disposal of the subscribers until October
18th, and then, If not called for, handed
to the Associated Charities, was also
lost by tie vote.
On motion of Enoch Moore, seconded
by Mr.. Almond, it was ordered that all
money Ill tHS ndlluS Vi Tue COllllnlJlee
be sent to the treasurer of the relief
committee at Delmar, to be distributed
| among actual sufferers who are unable
to assist themselves. The vote was
Ayes-Messrs. Almond, Moore, Tay-
lor and Mrs. Warner.
Nays Messrs. Lawton and Maher.
The majority of the committee was
influenced by the fact that the money
had been subscribed for Delmar relief,
and felt that it should be expended for
this purpose. The minority contended
that there was not actual need for all
the money at Delmar, and that it could
be expended for charity in this city with
better results.
The amount of money in the hands
of the committee, in addition to the $500
already forwarded TO Delmar, is between
S 200 and 300.

Morris, Taskcr & Co.'s Works to be Taken
From Philadelphia.

Philadelphia may lose the immense
Pascal Iron Works, Last spring the city
condemned their great lot, bounded by
Moyamensing Fourth Tasker and Morris
streets for public square. Morris, Tas-
ker x Go. received notice this week to
vacatc the premises, and within the next
few months must remove therefrom all
their iron structures stables and tenant
houses. This will cranp the works ex-
trcmely.
fhc firm now expect to transfer a further
portion of their manufacturing department
to a location where they can have railroad
facilities, and the entire plant may possi-
bly, follow. The significant fact is that the
firm have offered their square of ground
bound by Fourth and Fifth, Morris and
ifa,ker streets, 400 feet square, now wholly
covered with buildings, Tor mint site for
$4,000. The mint will, however, in
general opinion, be erected on the site
already proposed by the commissioners.
Morris, Iasker 4 Go. may be contem-
plating a move to the outskirts of the city,
but the probability seems TO be that they
vii, remove the entire plant to New Castle,
Del, where their later Delaware Iron Com
panys mills cover about TO acres.

Il DANCE by THE DIFT


hurst Enjoy Torpsichorean Treat.
AT the regular meeting of the Trustees of
the Delaware State Hospital for the Insane
at barnhurst Thursday. the committee on
buildings and grounds reported having
awarded the contract for painting to
Cardwell e. Son OF this city and also that
the work on the mortuary chapel had
been commenced. lii the report of the
superintendent several suggestions were
made looking toward the improvement of
the hospital The matter Of vesting the
superintendent with police powers was
considered and will probably be referred
to the next session of the Legislature.
There being so little business to transact
the trustees decided to hold ball for the
amusement of the inmates. The grand
march was accordingly led off at 3 O'clock,
and the scene in the ball reem was novel
one. The dance included men and women
of all ages and nationalities, besides the
lame and the halt. The strains of music
appealed to the feelings of all and for
time they seemed to East off their garments
of mental helplessness and became ra-
tional human boiygs. The music was fur
nished by tw" inmates, DR.. Richardson
acting ss floor manager.

STATE central to01nitt,s, Wilmington, Dd--
DEAR SIR: have your favor Of the 9th
inst. and thank you for the information it
contained.
Replying to your question, have little
hesitation in saying that Colorado's eIec-
!ural votes will this year go for James Il.
Weaver. The gold-bug supporters of
President Harrison in this state per-
sistently declare that he is the avowcd
friend of silver" and that he would
cheerfully sign bill for its free coinage if
it should be presented to him. Thus you
will see that consistency is a Jewel, y
which has no place in the cabinet Of the
Republican politicians in this state during
the present campaign.
am, sir, very respectfully yours,
