Before the long winter nights come
again this city will be better protected
against burglars and thieves. By a
recent contract made by the Street and
Sewer Department with the electric com.
pany the number OF arc lights will be
increased from thirty-four, as at present
in use, to 100. Over 100 new incandes.
cent arc lights will also be located in
various parts Of the city. Between this
increased lighting and the present excel
lent police force, house breakers will
have little chance to carry on their ne
farious work Good lights, and plenty
Of them, and good pavements is some
thing of which Wilmington may in a
short time boast. For this state OF sff airs

MANY ERRORS FOUND.
Firth and Death Certificates Of Hth' Eges County Inspected.

Birth and Death Certificates Of Hthe
 IEqss County Inspected.
 County Health Officer Hoadley has epm- pleted his inspection of the birth and death certificates filed in this county from January 1 of this year up to the present month. He finds that in the cities the records are kept in good condition, while in the towns many errors were discovered.
 In Southbury there have been only nine teen births since January l. and yet of that number seventeen certificates have been defective. The chief cause of such errors lies in the fact that physicians do not know in many cases tho first name of the child, and so in order to properly fill out the certificate they put Tn the name of John or any other christian name that may come into their heads. Of course they in- tend to make the correction later, but in many instance sthey forget all about 1t and the correction is never made. In this way some persons go through the world and | live out their allotted time with an entirely different christian name from that which is | to be found on their birth certificates.
 | ''The law on the subject requires tbat the physicians shall file birth certificates on or before the seventh day of the month | following the birth of the child. In some cases the parents have not decided upon the name of the child within this time, and in consequence the physicians are com pelled to make out the certificates in the manner they do. So after all. the mistakes are not always the fault of the physicians
 as they are compelled to do as they do 1T | order to comply with the law.

FOUR SCHOOL ROOMS.

An ApproprIatIon of &2o,OoO For an
 Addition to the Washington school.
 The special center school district meet ing last night to take action on the matter of enlarging the Washington school did not bring out as large an attendance as was expected, some of the men who had been begging the papers to help them out not being sufficiently interested in the matter to coms down to vote for it. D. J. Casey was chosen chairman and J. J. Mcdonald acted as clerk. After the read ing of the call and the petition John C.. Downey presented the following resolu- ton, which was adopted without a dissent ing voice:
 '.Voted, that the Center school district committee be and they are hereby in- structed to have built a suitable addition to the Washington school. the cost of such addition not to exceed the sum of S20. GOO.
 J. J. Mcdonald and A J. Wolff spoke of the need of the addition. which will con sist of four rooms. two recitation rooms and a teachers room.
 On motion of D. J. Griffin it was voted that the district committee be instructed to commence the work at once.
 Speaking of the most feasible method ol meeting the expense Captain Wolff said il would be well to pass a vote requesting the district to take coGnizlnce of the expendi ture when making tue annual recommends tion for the district tax. He said: "Fol some years the district has diverted the in come from one mill of the tax to the sink ing fund. or $10.O0O a year. to meet thu bonds of S1CO,O00 redeemable in 1901 There is now S3O, 900 in the sinking fund and as there is no law compelling us t' pay this amount yearly into the sinking 1 fund it seems to me that instead of 50 di verting it we might use the money for tlo | expense of this addition"
 J. J. Mcdonald submitted the following resolution. which seemed to cover tn whole ground and which was passed by 1 unanimous vote:
 Voted, that the Center school distric committee be and they are hereby au thorized to make a temporary loan il anticipation of taxes to be collected on tn lists of 1S94-95 for a sufficient amount t carry out the provisions of the abov 1 vote.'
 The district committee will hold special meeting to night to take action ol the different votes passed at the meeting.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

All of the league teams except the Louis villes and the Washingtons have won the majority of games played on their rcspec- tive home grounds. The St Louis have won and lost an equal number of games played at home. Only the Bostons. New Works and Clevelands have won the ma- jority of games played away from home.
 Not only have the grand stands of the Boston. Chicago and Philadelphia base ball clubs been destroyed by fire within a few weeks. but it appears that on two diff ferent occasions this season. the Cincin- nati grand stand has caught fire and was only saved by lively work. the stand on the St Louis field has been on ire and the New York stand was discovered on fire a short time ago. and narrowly escaped de struction. In the case of the Boston. New York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati fires, the Baltimores were the visiting clubs. Anson's action has placed him in an ugly light. His team has not been changed in the past two weeks. yet he ha: developed of a sudden a wonderful lot oi batters. Strange to say. the pitchers hi, | men have pounded so easily have proved effective against other heavy Eitters | Something seems to be wrong. for ther, are reasons for supposing that Anson ha' won his games by the introduction o lively balls when his side went to bat The matter is to be investigated. and it i likely St Louis. Pittsburg and possibl! Cleveland and Cincinnati will have a han, in aiding to push the investigation starte, by the Louisville club.
 | Up to yesterday the Providence club Ina, won l6 straight victories. That come pretty near being the record of the season | Farrell is on the sick list. His loss t
 New York at this stage of the race is abou as bad as would be the loss of Duffy L | Boston.

Incendiary Fire Tn Bristol.

BLIsToL, Aug 10.-At two o'clock this morning fire broke out in the two story frame dwelling house owned by Mrs Eliza beth Kennedy on Valley street. The fire was discovered soon after it broke out, and the firemen soon had the flames under control. But little damage was done. Al four o'clock the building was again dis covered in flames ard this time it was al- most entirely consumed. It is almost cer. tain that the fires were the work of an in cendiary. Both times the flames origi. hated in the kitchen. and a strong odor oi kerosene was detected by the firemen The authorities believe they know who the guilty party is, and an arrest is looked for either to-day or tomorrow. The house has been unoccupied for a week. It was insured for Sl POO.

FIREBUG IN BROOKLYN
Two Harms on Railroad HHn Street De stroyed Last Night.


 stroyed Last Night.
 Railroad Hill street was honored with d large number of visitors last night. An alarm of fire from box 325, at the corner of Simon street and Washington avenue about 10 o'clock, called the department to a big blaze in the rear of the residence of Michael Hayden. 109 Railroad Hill street The fire was discovered in MT Hayden's barn and the flames from the burning tim bers lit up that section of the town as it had never been lighted before The fire was watched by an immense crowd who lined the sidewalks in the rear of the Buckle shop and a large number went over to the scene of the coDtiagration. The barn with its contents was reduced to ashes and it took the fremen quite good while to extinguish the flames. The barn con- tained n couple of sets of harnesses a dump cart, over ton of hay and other traps. MT Hayden was not at home when the fire occurred and no one doubts but that the building was fired by some of the gang who are doing all kinds of mischief in that part of the city.
 About 30 a second alarm was sent in from the same box. This time the fire was located in the barn ot Charles Daily, Railroad Hill street. just opposite the scene of the first fire. MT Daly's barn stood close to the sidewalk and between l two of the owners tenement houses, and Il seemed almost impossible to prevent the adjoining buildings from catching fire The barn was we'll filled with hay and other articles and also a valuable COW, but some one managed to get her out safely. The barn and its contents were completely destroyed, but the tremen diG good work in fighting the flames bacl from the other buildings. Neither barn, were insured and the loss is heavy on tn, owners. This fire like the other was of incendiary origin. Some of tho residents say the fire box is too far re moved from the lower end of .he street the nearest box being the one from whicl the alarm was sent in.
 Charles Daily estimates his losses a S40O and Michael Hayden says he is ou over s20O. A large tree which stands be tween MT Daly's house and the barn saved the former from the flames. The tree i pretty we'll scorched to-day but it served good purpose last night and proved tn truth of what some people in this section have been talking about in relation to tn value of trees around ones house.

 WASHINGTON. Aug 10.-The conferees on the tariff bill have decided to report general disagreement. which means the defeat of the bill. As soon as the an- nouncement was made in the senate the administration forces attempted to go into executive session on the Chinese treaty. The anti-administration democrats and republicans joined ranks to defeat Mir Gray's motion. for the purpose of forcing the fighting on the tariff bill. and Gray's motion for an executive session was de- feated.
 Senator Hill moved that the senate con- ferees be required to report if they were likely to reach an agreement. also to report what item they disagreed upon.
 Senator Allison suggested that the reso- lution be modified to call on the conferees to report a disagreement, and added that the republican conferees had been given no chance to attend the the obstacles. He said the conferences
 
 and insisted that the senate conferees be requested to report a disagreement so that the matter might properly come before the senate.
 The resolution went over until to-mor- row.
 There was general dissent from the de. cision of Vice President Stevenson. Sen. ator Hill argued that his resolution was a privileged one and the ruling not sound. Senator Mills took issue with Hill as tc the question of privilege. | Senator Aldrich reviewed the tariff situ atIon and called up the resolution o Senator Allen. that the managers on tn, part of the senate Tn the conference b, directed without delay to report the bil and amendments back to the senate witl disagreement.
 The administration forces tried to con sume time. but enough developed to show | that the senate conferees desire to be re | lieved.

MILITARY MATTERS.

The New Rihie Range at Mantle as
 Level as a Billiard Table.
 The new state rifle range at the state military rendezvous was complete yesterday and will be inspected by Governor Morris and his staff to-day. The range. so Gen. eral Harbison says, is as level as a billiard table. The buts are constructed of wood and iron after the most approved plans The range will be used by the military next week. Hz.~-
 The telephone system at the rendezvous has been abandoned this year and com- munication must be transmitted by order lies. The telephone system has never worked very satisfactorily and according to General Harbison's idea have been a use less expense to the state. The orderlies are appointed for the purpose of carryi ing messages and the general believes they should do their duty.
 Major George E. Albee. inspector of arms on the staff of General Haven, will have in his tent at headquarters some in- | teresting Indian relics of the Indian cam palgn in which he was engaged some years ago. The relics he will take to Mantle are two headdresses, one of a Sioux chief | tain and the other one that was worn by | one of the Crow tribe. The first has two large OK horns around which is woven a crown of crows feathers, and from the back hangs a quantity of colored horsehair abou. three feet in length. The whole is ornamented with beads and other Indian embroidery. and when on a chief in his war paint must have made him look quite frightful to the inexperienced eye. The Crow headdress has two short upright horns on a crown of small crows feathers, and while it does not appear as fierce as that of the Sioux it shows skillful work. manship on the part of the Indian whc made 1t. The headdresses have been mounted on blocks by Charles Marvin 1 who will accompany Major Albee to camp They were captured by Major Albee during one of the battles with the Indians, and he naturally prizes them very highly.

A raid was m Ade on the Drigss gang. and s26 .0O0 worth of counter felt notes captured, and one plate used to initiate the fibre on the back of the notes. Nelson Driggs and Gertie Driggs, his young wife. were arrested and tired in Cincinnati before the United States court The jury disagreed. It is also known now that Charles W. Hill and Russell B. Hoyt in 1890 were together perfecting tho Driggs- Webster headplate in Brooklyn. al the arrest of Driggs and the capture of th' counterfeit money stopped the proceeding and for the first it was possible to prov, who made the Driggs gang webster-heat U. $.
