Editor Gazette t Jonyndl; As members Of
the coroner's jury investigating the death
OF Jennie Brewington. who was killed at
llearn's crossing Wednesday last, we wish
to deny the insinuations cast upon us BY
your correspondent, viz, that the Jury is Il
farce and that people are indignant because
ten men, and not former railroad
employee" las your correspondent states),
are holding ollt for what they believe To be
Just verdict. We have no desire to CEN
sure the railroad company for criminal
neglect, but we do contend that the rail
road company should place safety gates at
this particular dangerous crossing, and we
purpose recommending this. Admitting
that the girl met her death BY carelessness,
would she have been on the track had gates
been there2 At the inquest over the victims
of the recent fire in Philadelphia was not
the management Of the theatre censnred ?
When Or. Parvis was killed at Fr0gtown
crossing, Middletown. did not tho Jury
ccnsure the company for not having gates;
and did not gates follow?
This jury docs not want to censure the
company, but they do contend that they
have authority To recommend that gates
be placed at this crossing to guard against
slaughter of lives in the future. Only
Three. weeks ago Il valuable horse was
killed at this crossing. Condemn only
those who are unworthy of praise.

TIE LAnREA accident.
Some Members of the Coroner's Jui
Want to Blnme tho railroad Compnn,

Want to Blame the Railroad Company.
At Laurel, yesterday week, young
colored woman was struck and instantly
killed by the engine of train No, L. She
persisted in attempting to cross the track
i'll advance of the approaching train, not
withstanding the Efforts of two of her
friends to prevent her.
LAUREL, May 2O.-The jury empanelod
by Deputy Coroner Phillips yesterday in
the ease of Jennie Brewington, who was
killed by train here Wednesday, was In
session several hours, but failed to reach q
conclusion, The conduct of some of the
jurymen is considered ridiculous and
is exciting much comment. Ono or
two individuals seem determined to
work up n sensation, and though
all the evidence shows the accident was
due to foolhardy careessness OH the part
of the victim, these men stand out for d
verdict OF contributive carelessness and
riminal neglect on the part Of the railroad
company, endeavoring TO support their
effort by saying that the crossing is dan
gerous to public safety unless provided
with 4 llagiuan and gates"
late employee of the railroad is said TO
be the lending spirit IN the protesting part
Of the jury. The people are quite agitated
over the affair and many are indignant
that such farce should bear the name Of
ali inquest.

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-10-07

A process has been introduced for pro-
tecting steel and iron by means of q coat
ing Of copper. When the invention was
first made it was applied to the construc-
ton of telegraph wires, but since then
further developments of the process have
enabled it to be employed in the manufac-
ture of complete ship plates The method
employed is similar TO that of the old silver
plating process, in which plates Of the two
metals were rolled together without any
chemical or electrolytic means being EN-.
ployed.
A short copper ingot is cast on core Of
iron or steel; the copper is shorter than the
core, and not placed symmetrically, but SO
disposed toward one end that the unequal
travel Of the coating, when afterward ex.
tended by rolling, may be compensated
for. Save for the provision of special groov-
ing of the rollers to prevent the formation
of fins of the softer metal, the subsequent
operations are conducted in the ordinary
way. Advantage is taken of the retention
Of heat by the steel core to diminish the
excessive ductility of the copper by chill
ing the covering. When the porosity Of
the coat Of copper and the difficulty in OBJ
tanning perfect adherence is overcome, the
process will BECOME commercial success.

The child is taught at school that
dozen means twelve every time. but when
the child grows into man he finds that
iozen is very elastic term. A bakers
loZen is thirteen, and so is a publishers or
news agents in many parts of the world.
IN some sections a dozen of fish means
wenty-six, and there are other anomalies
If this kind. But to find dozen indicat-
ng anything from two to fifty it is neces-
Sary to go to the earthenware trade.
Here the size and weight of articles de-
eide how many make a dozen, and in jugs,
bowls, plates and so on there are two, four,
tx, eight or more to the dozen. A dozen
composed of twelve articles is very un-
usual thing in the wholesale pottery trade,
and as result there are few clerkships
more difficult to hold than in this line. l
tried the work once and failed ignomin-
iously. To have to find the cost of SOC
articles ut so much a dozen when that
dozen may mean anything is very diff.
cult task until n man gets thoroughly used
