UNITED STATES PRISONERS.
Long Term Prisoners to Go to Brooklyn
1.-The Place of Detention of Others No

Long Term Prisoners to Go to Brooklyn
1.-The Place of detention of Others Not
Yet Determined on.
In regard TO the matter of the trans
ferring of United States prisoners from
New Castle Jail to some other point of de-
tention it is learned that the whole matter
has been left with the attorney general. 1t
is understood that under any circumstances
the long term prisoners Chose whose sem
fences are for six months imprisonment
or over will be sent to the United States
prison at Brooklyn, Kings county, n. Y.
The short term prisoners will be sent TO
some location decided upon by the Wash
ington authorities or they may yet be
kept at New Castle. Nothing in reality is
definitely known.
AS an inducement to catch what crumbs
may fall in its way and upon the sugges-
ton of District Attorney Beniah Watson,
the Kent county Levy Court has passed the
following resolutions:
Rssolped That tho United States BIO and they
arc hereby permitted to use the Jail Of this
county for the purpose Of combining therein
Federal prisoners under the following terms
Tn United States TO p2Y 10 cents per diem for
the board of each prisoner, the same M now
paid by the county; to pay % cents per month
rent for each prisoner as cell rent; to pay all
medical bills, the government TO he permitted
to supply what physician they may deem
proper: to furnish clothing for its own prison.
ers, and that this agreement shall not be ter
minated by either party under sixty days
notice.
Our Levy Court New Castle county, has
it yet in its power, if ordinary diligence be
used. and expenditure looking towards
proper accommodation of prisoners be or
cered, still to retain United States prisoners
outside of long term ones.

A THRE1TENING CONFEDERATION
Frames in Coal House at du Fonts
Upper Yard Last Eyening.

Fire broke out in the coal house at the
upper yards Of II. !. du Pont, de Nemours &
Company about o. clock Friday night and
burned with such fury that it was fully an
hour before the workmen about the yards
got the flames under control The hose of
the company was put in operation
promptly and a number of men battled
hard to subdue the flames, which they
only succeeded in doing with the greatest
difficulty. The fire burned savagely and
so brightly as to illuminate the country
for some distance. The reflection was
seen as far as Carrcroft. on tho Philadel-
phia division of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, and was also noticed by persons
in Brandywine and Christiana hundreds.
The building in which the fire originated
is about 200 feet long and is situated about
100 yards north OF the refinery in the
upper yard. There is row Ter magazine
about 300 yards distant and right north of
the burning structure. But a short dis
lance from the coal house are a number of
dwellings, which might have caught fire
had the wind been in that direction.
The coal house is used in the consump-
ton of wood, which is burned into char
coal. The latter furnishes the chief ingre-
dent in the manufacture of powder. There
are as high as eight charcoal furnaces in
this building, and after the charcoal is
taken from the furnaces il is thrown out
upon tle HoOr OIL Inc Dulldlng, which IS OF
iron. The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated from the charcoal which is allowed
to remain upon the iron floor until re-
moved to the refinery 1t is stated that a
flame was kindled by breeze which crept
through the building. and the fire became
so intense rs to catch fire to the sides of
| the building, with the result already
stated. just outside the coal house, it is
stated, as high as 900 cords of wood have
been placed at one time, but fortunately
tho fire was put out before the flames
reached the wood ricks.
The building was partially destroyed.
The loss will not be very great as the
| flames were gotten under control before
they had extended far beyond the burned
to subdue the flames stated that in all his
experience he never before saw fire burn
sotiercely and saTagely as did Friday nights
confagration.

is the consideration of the various
ways and methods Of getting to the

the most popular is that Of given

the Central National Bank, died at his
home, 6l7 West street, on Monday night, of
paralysis of the heart. He took i'll sud
denly at the bank on Monday morning
when a carriage was obtained and he VIZ
driven home. Allen Speakman. director
of the Central Bank, accompanied him
and remained at the house until the arrival
of physician. DIR. j. w. Crumbaugh ,sas
summoned and devoted all his attention to
his patient throughout the forenoon.
Later in the day Mr.. Peoples became
worse. His son. who lives at Norfolk, Va,
was telegraphed for, and his two daugh-
tiers, who live outside the city, were noti-
fled later, but none of his children arrived
in time.
Mr.. Peoples was always an early riser,
and his tall familiar form standing ON the
brown stone steps at Fifth and Market
streets and unlatching the bank door close
to O'Clock in the morning was almost a
signal that business was about to com
mence ON Market street. Monday morn
ing lie had arisen early ms usual and had
called ut White & Brothers store at Front
and Orange streets. On Market street he
was met by Allen Speakman when the
two stopped for "A moments chat. "IInllo,
John ~ the latter exclaimed, you're out
early
Mr.. Peoples went into the bank and Mr..
Speakman proceeded to his stere. As the
banker went up Market street Mr.. Speak
man turned around to watch him, as he
had been impressed at the moment with
the idea that Mr.. Peoples looked fiustered
and not in his usual equable humor. A
little before 8 Mr.. Speakman went into the
bank to attend the meeting of the direc-
tors. He was met in the aisle by Mr..
Peoples.
If wish you'd go home with me-" the

A carriage was called and the two drove
to Mr.. Peoples home. The cashier wa:
very feeble, cold and white. 81 haven't
any pulse" he remarked to his friend
Mr.. Speakman had the sick man taken
upstairs and put to bed. While waiting
for the physician the patient remarked, u
drank glass of cold water first thing this
morning and I'm afraid it does not agre,
with me" He told Mr.. Speakman that h,
| feared his trouble was indigestion. DIR
Crumbaugh. the attending physician, gave
all the attention possible, but the patien
rapidly grew worse and death came at go

DEATH OF JAMES 4. BoURKE
OF the Irish Nationalist Sunday Evening
From Brain Affection.

From Brain Ahectton.
The prominent Irish Nationalist
James A. Bourke died Sunday evening at
the residence of his niece, Mrs. William
Healey, southeast corner of Third
and Monroe streets. His death is at
tributed to brain affection. The deceased
was born in Limerick, Ireland, in 1e47.
He came to this country at the close of
the war and removed from Pennsyl-
vania here two years afterwards. Mr..
Bourke was always in the lead among
the Irish agitators in Wilmington. In
the Presidential election of '94, although
hitherto pronounced Democrat, he
took the stump throughout the State for
tho Republican nominee, believing that
Blaine's election would result in the
appointment as minister to England of a
strong pro.Irish representative. After
this campaign, however, he returned to
his Democratic allegiance. The deceased
was an adhefent of Parnell and stuck
loyalty by the Irish leader through all
his troubles.
At the time of the Clan-na- Gael per-
secutions Of DR.. Cronin and others in
Chicago the deceased, who was per-
sonal friend of the murdered man, was
credited with the possession of valuable
information which, however, he could
not be prevailed upon TO divulge. He
was visited at that time by representa-
tives of New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago papers.
Mr.. Bourke was a man of kindly,
genial temperament, and his hand was
always stretched out in affectionate
grasp TO anyone from the "old sod"
The deceased leaves widow and four
children. The burialtook place yesterday.

A certain tax collector of this city relates
one of the many experiences he has had in
the collection of taxes during the past year.
The other day the collector received from
a certain female resident of the city two
checks whose denominations were so and
$40 respectively. One of the checks was
dated and made payable in March while
the other was dated two months ahead.
The first check was protested and the col
lector declares he paid the protest out of his
own pocket. The good woman was noti-
fled Of the protested note and again she re-
newed the paper by giving a new check in
Guiding the amount of protest. The check
was made payable at certain time which
happened to be Tuesday. Imagine the sur
prise of the collector then, on opening n
letter from the female TAX payer to receive
promissory note for both checks. Besides
the tax payer was kind enough to enclose
two cent stamp which the collector
declares is the only compensation he has
yet received for the years taxes.

A CATCH OF 10000 HERRING.
A Delaware Phenomenon That Annual
Attracts Great Attention.

Levy Courtman James II. Clark came
from Delaware City Monday, where
he reports that the big annual run of
herring in the Delaware and Chesapeake
canal has commenced.
AT the lock at Delaware City this morn
ing Charlie Jefferson made single catch
of 20, 600 fine fish.
The herring are reported very plentiful.
The height of the run will not be reached
however for few days yet.
How it is that such large catch was
made in the lock is explained in the fol-
lowing odd reason. 1t is known or as
serted that the directors and stockholders
of the Delaware and Chesapeake canal
are devoutly opposed to any suggestion
even of Sabbath breaking. Under their
strict Sabbatarian rules they always keep
both ends of the 14-mile canal rigidly
closed to all commerce for the "a hours
commencing Saturday night and ending
midnight on Sunday. Immediately the
clock strikes IL on Monday business re-
commences.
During the spring herring run this of
course gives the fish good start and they
accumulate so at the mouth of the lock,
where the canal makes its outlet into the
Delaware bay, that they are there literally
in myriads, crowding one another in their
attempt to escape to the waters Of the bay.
1t is an extremely interesting phenome-
non, and one well worth witnessing

contractor and builder of Philadelphia,
died at the residence of her son-in-law.
Nathaniel Bayne, No. 1908 West Eighth
street, Monday morning at the advanced
age of 95 years. The cause of death was
principally the result of old age, coupled
with injuries she received in an accident
by falling about three weeks ago. Mrs.
Hudson was a woman of much force of
character and possessed q retentiye memory
until the last hours of her illness, when
she became unconscious. She was a native
of Delaware, having been born in Sussex
county in 1897. Deceased comes of good
family connections and has many surviv-
ing relatives. Three sons living in Phila-
delphia, and u daughter Mrs. Nathaniel
Bayne of this city, with whom she has
made her home for score of years, sur
vive her. Thomas Draper of Dover is a
nephew of the deceased as was the late
Myers Conwell of this city. The funeral
was held at the residence of her son-in-
law Tuesday afternoon.
