markable Christmas; its quietness,-or

Dover Hosiery Factory


Last Thursday was the day set for the sale
of tue machinery, the stock aud failures of
the Delaware Hosiery Company. The build
ing having been sold sometime back, for
$40 sos. 1t was purchased by the Dover
syndicate. It was also the aim of this syn
dictate to purchase the machinery, stock and
fixtures, and for that purpose the stockhold-
ers were out in full force at the mill where
the safe took place. Mr.. Schlossmau and
Gotschalk were also present and eBdesvored
to secure the plant but the Dover men were
equal to them both and bid the machinery
and fixtures in at $40, 100, while the unfnish-
ed aud finished goods in the building were
bought by Mr.. Cotschalk for $4,000. This
makes a total of Sz5,595 that the entire estab
lishment, building, machinery and goods
have brought. This then will leave about
200 to be divided among the stockholders.
The whole Indebtedness was 5000, includ
ing the judgements and mortgages. It is
now purposed to soon have the mill in good
working and running order. and the people
seem to be determined to do their best
toward its success.

Two Brothers Killed at Salisbury.


BENJAMIN Brittingham and John
Brittingham, brothers Of Powells-
Vile, Md. while attempting to cross
the tracks of the New York, Phila-
delphia & Norfolk railroad in Sails
bury, Tuesday afternoon in a four
wheeled buggy, were struck by north
bound express No. 81. Benjamin
was instantly killed and John died
that evening. The vehicle was re-
duced to kindling wood but the horse
escaped injury. Benjamin was caught
on the pilot of the engine and car
ried over hundred feet. His wounds
were scalp wounds and his death re-
suited from cOncussion Of the brain.
John was knocked to the east side
of the track, with his left arm resting
on the rail. The arm was cut oil a
sholt distance above the hand. The
men were warned not to attempt to
cross the track as the train was run
ming at a rapid rate. They drove
on the track when the train was not
more than thirty yards away. The
engineer gave the danger signal and
applied the air-brakes, but could not
stop the train in time to prevent q
collision with the vehicle. The rail
road company was exonerated from
all blame by jury Of inquest. The
same train six mills north of Sails
bury-at Delmar-struck and killed
freight conductor Wright, making
three men killed in less than an hour
