PULLMAN IN WILMINGTON
A Strong Plea to Enlarge Their Works
In Wilmington.

A Strong Plea to Enlarge Their Works
In Wilmington.
The Wilmington Industrial and Imrro-
vement Company is endeavoring to infu-
ence the Pullman Co., to enlarge their plant
in that city, and to that end have sent the
following letter to one Of the Vice-Presi-
dents Of the company:
DEAR SIR As president Of the Indus
trial Improvement Company, of Whining
ton, would respectfully ask you to look
over the field with a view of enlarging
your plant here.
I'VE have no Anarchists here, have
plenty of room and central location.
Most of the mechanics here own their
own houses, thus making them perma-
nent citizens. We have little or no floating
population.
while you have had much trouble
elsewhere our men in your Wilmington
shops have continued steadily at their
work.
Il believe there was never known to be a
labor riot in Wilmington,
Hoping you will give the matter your
attention, / am very respectfully,
WILLIAM LAwToN."
In urging the cause of our state metrop
olic, the evening Journal says:
AS an industrial and commercial centre
Whining has few superiors and in its fac
ilties for receipt and and shipment of raw
and finished material, it cannot be sur
passed. Located on three railroad trunk
lines, the Pennsylvania the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Wilmington and Northern,
l,,.,, cfr for
sailing and steam vessels, and buta few
miles from the Delaware river, is combines
the advantage of all inland and seaboard
city. During the past decade its popula-
ton has increased 45 percent, and its man
ufactors have shown like increase.
Enterprising, it can show twelve miles
of electric street railways, large electric
light and power plants, sixteen morocco
factories, seventeen carriage works, three
paper mills, powder mills, four ship build
ing yards, four car building shops, twenty
seven iron works, three cotton factories,
three hard fibre works, glass factory,
four marine railways. two -four mills and
a score of other and smaller industries.
1t is city of homes and there are few if
any instances TO be found where even the
commonest laborer does not have home
to himself and at rental far more moder-
ate than any city north or west.
It,has supberb educational falilties, and
its twenty six schools canno: be surpassed
in cities much its superior in population.
In fact our city offers unparalleled advan-
tages for the location of any manufactur-
industries, and especially the enlargement
of the plant now here.

the Executive Committee.

the Executive Committee.
NJ: P. Jones, VITO is another member of
the executive committee, was seen at his
residence, and in reply to reportoral
queries said the manner Of collecting
would probably be as during 1890. when
collectors we're appointed to take districts
and solicit contributions.
But" said Mr.. Jones. Il hope those
willing to contribute will not wait for the
collectors to come to them. They should
send in what they intend to give, thus in
surfing that they are not missed and at the
same time setting an example for others to
follow, while saving the unnecessary trou-
bic of calling upon them.
The expenditure of money!" said Mr..
jones'" should be in such manner as to
beuefit the whole people and not individ-
uals or certain localities. We are all inter-
ested in Golden Gate Park, therefore work
done there would benefit every one. So
would WORK on the sewers. if done accord
ing to the plans Of Engineers Manson and
Grunsky."
Mr.. Jones thought to open streets
through the Laguna survey would favor a
certain locality and would therefore prove
Objectionable. lie would not advocate
either the turning of the money over TO
the Street Department. 1t should be ex-
pended with the utmost economy under
the SUPERVISION of a committee, as in 1890,
when the new drive was constructed by
the FUNDS then collected, and without the
expenditure of dollar by the city or the
Park Commissioners. That WORK shows
for itseIf-it is great Improvement and
one fully appreciated by the public"
MI Jones was member of the commit
tee of 1890, and said in that year there were
some 1900 unemployed who registered,
while this year the committee knew of
from $500 to 5000 cases.

March, and the men were given only one

THE WORK SHOULD BE GENERAL.

Now that the money with which to aid
San Francisco's unemployed is coming in
theproblem presents itself How shall it
be- expended?' Mr.. A. S. Rallidie, in
speaking of the matter yesterday, said he
we'll remembered a somewhat similar con-
ditfon of affairs here in 1877 hen some
Thousands of dollars were raised and
employment given to many men iu Golden
Gate Park: The men were paid but a
dollar day, and labor organizations in
some instances opposed the movement as
one setting bad precedent regarding
wages. But the result showed that much
good was done and much want :releyed.
Some similar movement, Mr.. Hallide
; thought. should be inaugurated now and
public work of permanent benefit under
taken. The main thing under attention
just now was the sewer system, and the
plan Of Engineers Manson and Grunsky,
some time since presented, could be profit
ably. accepted. Their recommendation
was the expenditure by the city of $4,000
or $4,000 in making sewer connections
where none now exist by a general re-
organization Of the system. which would
require strengthening out, changing IF
levels, etc. This would give employment
10 many men. Then the streets could be
cleaned and garbage removed Such is
supposed TO be done now, but only In an
Rn"imperfecJ manner.
:"Then there is the opening OF streets in
the Daguna survey-Van Ness avenue,
franklin, Polk, Larkn, ETC., to the bay,
and various cross streets. This work"
said Mr.. HaIdie, Il understand can be
commenced at any time now, as those who
stopped it, by protesting have been paid
their damages"
One difficulty the gentleman foresaw and
that was that many or the unemployed
are. young men who were clerks ard book |
keepers and many"Others had come here
Tor their health. The majority of those, of
course, could not stand manual labor. !
Still" unused he, "the two thousand and

Several of Them Referred to by
Pastor Filben.

In the handsome brick structure of the
California street Methodist Episcopal
Church Rev. Thomas Filben, the pastor,
having been actively interested in the
work of relieving the present distress of
the great host of unemployed, addressed
his congregation upon that subject yester-
day morning, choosing Christ's words in

He embraced the opportunity to tell
about number of instances of want that

The usual causes of poverty in times CT
business prosperity are impTovidence and
drunkenness, but it is not so now. Good
capable, willing men are out of work and
utterly helpless because of their inability
to- secure it, their misfortune being aeci-
dental rather than self-caused. The char

There are two prominent cases of suf-

is that of young unmarried man, who,
nevertheless, has four to support. For

had either a friendly or unfriendly mill
with the results mentioned. but it all
came about in the simplest possible way.
On Saturday afternoon Enos Fouratt,
mate of the steamer Apache, was taken to
the Receiving Hospital as he was believed
to be insane. He was so violent that DR..
Simpson had him strapped to a cot in one
of the padded cells. He is a powerful
young fellow over six feet tall and with
muscles like steel.
Yesterday morning his father called to
see him at the hospital and at his earnest
request he was unstrapped. A few MIN
utes afterward he was talking so loudly
that DIR. Somers entered his cell and walk
ing up TO him said in soothing way,
Now, don't make such noise like good
fellow. You are,disturbing all the other
patients"
FOuratt glared at him for moment and
then as quick as lightning shot forth his
right hand and hit the doctor a terrific
blow between the eyes. 1t was so sudden
and unexpected and so violent tn at it sent
the doctor flying out of the room and clear
across the corridor, where he fell IN heap
against the wall.
to Fouratts cell, and, before he knew
what all the racket was about, he was
staggered by right nander 10 the mouth,
knocking out one of his front teeth. and a
left-hander on his nose, which made him
see more stars than has ever been seen
through the big Lick telescope.
Steward Dawson. seeing the two medi-
cal men in such imminent danger. ran to
their assistance, and he received a blow in
the ribs that knocked the wind clean out
of him.
The blood of the vanquished was up, and
they gathered themselves together and
made ombined rush upon the powerful
maniac. Dawson sprang upon him like
tiger aud grabbed him by the throat,
while the TWO doctors seized hold of his
legs. They threw him upon the cot, and,
