The country continues to recover
from the effects of the panic despite
the fact that the Sherman law has not
been repealed. If this thing was the
cause of all the trouble how are we to
account for the present state of affairs?
Fifty millions of dollars in gold have
come in from Europe to help along
the return to good times, although We
were told that the Sherman act was
the cause of so much gold being sent
abroad a short while back and that
unless Congress was convened in extra
session and this monster wiped from
the laws Of the land the whole of the
one hundred million gold reserve fund
would soon be exhausted.

is likely to exercise in behalf of a
compromise on the silver question
Senator Ransom is not making
much noise, but he is using his in
fuence to hold the party 10 the plat
form. Whatever is secured in the way
of compromise will be due in large
measure to his efforts. Our senior
Senator's hand has not lost its cunning
and his fine work will show up in due
time. He knows the true situation in
this State and recognizes the i'm
portance OF giving the people what
they have asked for.

Finally mass of the most recent in
formation was laid before the board.
The officials of tine board encouraged
Mr.. Colquhoun in his work and further
correspondence was had with the boards
of health Of other municipalities. Mr..
Colauhoun visited New England and
the larger towns in the west making
personal investigation of the methods
in vogue.
The results of his investigations were
carefully prepared and placed before
the board. This consideration of the
subject occupied a year. After due
deliberation the method of disposition
of refuse by cremation was adopted as
the best method and the one best suited
for Wilmington.
Plans accompanied by statements of
probable cost were submitted in Novem-
Der of last year to City Council by the
Board of Health. Council appointed
special committee to act in conjunction
with the Board of Health. Councilman
NJ. T. Dannenberg was chairman of the
Council committee. In April of the
present year Mayor Shortlidge, then
president of the Board of Health, ac-
companied by Councilman Dannenberg
and Secretary Colquhoun, paid visit
to the chief New England cities. On
their return the result of the next meet
ing of the joint committee was report
to City Council, which recommended
the erection in this city of a crematory
for the disposal Of garbage and refuse.
Council adopted the report and subse-
quently appropriated the sum Of $l2,-
600 for the purpose.
Bids were thereupon asked for. These
were received from the American Garb-
age Cremator Company and the Engle
Sanitary and Garbage Company.
The joint committee unanimously
recommended acceptance OF the bid Of
the Brown Crematory, as constructed on
the plans of the American Garbage Gre
matory CompSny.
The city thereupon purchased lot at
the foot Of Liberty street, along the line
of the Wilmington g. Northern railroad
for the sum Of $1,000, The contract
price for building the crematory is $780,
600. The work Of erection is at this date
almost completed by the contractors, the
American Garbage Cremator Company,
of which S. II, Brown is the president,

and also the inventor of the process
used.
WHAT THE cREMAToRY IS FOR.
The crematory is for the definite pur-
pose of consuming by fire all of the
swill, garbage, and city waste within
the limits of Wilmington. The collec-
tlons of garbage will be continuous, the
furnaces being at work all the time,
The city has been so divided for this
purpose that all streets running east and
west will have collections tri-weekly,
namely on Monday, "Wednesday and
Friday; and streets running north and
south on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day.
The capacity Of the furnaces now
being constructed are of such dimension
as to allow of the consumption If 100
tons of garbage per day. Die average
collection over the city according TO
Secretary Colquhoun's figures is about so
tons per diem, the year around. Mr..
Colquhoun explains that for five
months, from June to November, the
average per diem collection is 70 tons,
while for the cold months, it is about
40. This average Of so tons represents
gatherings from households alone us
collected undor municipal contract.
There Is In addition to this an average
of at least five tons per day from
grocers, hucksters, and from market.

1t has always been source of annoy
ance to the Board OF Health as to what
disposition TO make of this refuse. The
grocer has the credit of dumping it into
vacant lots after dark. This refuse will
in the future also go to the crematory

SAVED BY A HUMAN LADDER.
Exciting Rescue Of Inmates of " Burning

Exciting Rescue Of Inmates of u Burning
Tenement by Cool Policeman and a
Brave Bartender.
NEw IoRK, Nov. A.--Over human lad
der men and women climbed to safety
from blazing tenement on Ninth avenue
early this morning. Quick 'witted Patrol
man DAILY and plucky Bartender Shaw
with a ladder, saved all the tenants when
little delay would have meant great loss
of life.
Patrolman DAILY was promptly OH hand
at the first cry of fire, and then rushed 10
the back of the tenement. The frightened
tenants had taken to the fire escapes and
were hanging on the iron ladders like so
many flies, calling for help, while the
smoke was beginning to pour out of the
windows.
Daily vaulted fence and got a handy
step ladder. Then resting the bottom Of
the ladder on Shaw's shoulders, he threw
it up so that it reached the fire escape
Down over this human ladder, steadied by
the policeman, came the tenants. All went
we'll until Mrs. William Rafferty,, whose
husband had slipped through the fire
escape, breaking bis collar bone, began in
her terror to throw her children down
from the fourth story.
The plucky officer looked UP Just in
time to seize l-years-od William i'll his
arms, but before he could put him down.
Mary, % years old in her little white slip
came sailing after. She was aiming
straight at him. and, ducking his head, he
made o broad scoop of his back and
shoulders. She fell right in it, plumb on
his neck, and, before she could roll off he
reached around aud caught her night dress
and held her safe, all the time steadying
the human ladder over which the last of
the scared tenants were climbing.

mace roof.
DESCRIPTION OF FURNACE.
A brief and exact description of the
furnace is as follows; Length, 63 feet
with an inside width across the CRATE of
81 feet; height, feet. 1t is constructed
with thick walls of friedrich. The
inner surface of this friedrich is glazed
with boracic acid,a preparation which
protects the brick from the action of all
aqueous gases, and keeps il from disin-
tegrating under the influence of great
heat.
Surrounding the furnace on the out
side is a water-jacket, in which water is
kept constantly moving. This preserves
the exterior of the furnace at an even
temperature. Itkceps the brick aunealed
and greatly retards any tendency to dis
Indignation.
The company claims that its furnace,
constructed in this way, will last longer
than any furnace built in the ordinary
manner,
The fuel used is crude petroleum. At
one end of the furnace, near the top is
situated the combustion chamber, into
which enters the burner. This burner
not only conveys the fuel to the COM
bust!on chamber, but as a matter of fact
forms the fuel, being not only burner
but also gas generator. This burner
consists of three concentric pipes. the

The claims made for this system are a
high degree of heat, quick and complete
combustiun,and IL furnace so constructed
that il is capable of sustaining extreme
heat without any increased cost for re-
newal or repairs.
A feature of this system of furnace
tine Brown fnrnace), is its having adj
vantage of other systems in the fact
that the top of tine crematory building
is closely built, and the air is constantly
drawn by all exhaust into the furnace,
SO that even if any emanation were to
arise from the presence of garbage in
the house-gases, emanating from the
garbage, being lighter than the air,
would of course rise to the roof--it
could not get out into the surrounding
atmosphere, except by passing through
the purifying fires of the furnace and
up through the tlue.
COST OF OPERATION.
The new crematory, IL is expected,
will be ready for use within two or
three weeks. The furnace will be
operated by two men, an engineer and
an assistant. The cost to the city of the
crcmatory will not exceed 40 cents per
ton for the material destroyed. This
estimate includes fuel and labor. The
inventor claims that its cost will not
exceed 25 cents. But he guarantees
that it will not exceed the former figure,
40 cents. This is very much lower than
the cost of running any other furnace
in the country to-day. The cheapest in
any other city is 90 cents, which is the
daily expense bill of the crematory at
Lowell, Mass. Some crematories cost
as high as $l.25 per diem.
