SECOND STREET SPRING NO MORE.

workmen Engaged in Building the New
suppller.
The spring in the yard of the White
Horse Hotel, Second and Tatnall streets,
which has been there for about fifty years
until Tuesday night, is a thing Of the past.
The vein was cut Tuesday afternoon by
workmen engaged In building the
new sewer on Second street, between
West and Washington streets. The
hotel has always been noted for It's excel.
lent water and many country people
coming to town to market stopped there
on this account.
The people living in the vicinity could
be seen in the summer time carrying the
water away In buckets to drink. IL was
also famous place for the small boy TO
quench his thirst.
Years ago e. K. Crawford who lives
at the northwest corner OF Second and
West streets, had a well dug in his cellar
and the water run in there A pipe was
laid from this we'll and the water flowed
here day and night to the hotel. The water
is of such an excellent quality that iJ Is
said that Mr.. Crawford never took ice
preferring to drink the spring water
Riley's stable on West street was also
supplied with water by this same spring.
The water Is now going TO waste,
having been drained into the sewer
Many of the old residents of the city are
not at all pleased that the water will
not flow free for all and think that some
way should be provided TO have the
water run as usual These properties
will now have to use city water.

MIR. BrInton speaks Of the sIusksts.

Speaking Of the muslets in the City
Hall loft, Of which mention was made
yesterday, Amos @. Brinton, local his.
torlan, thinks that they belonged to the
three Delaware companies which served
Ia the Mexican war. One of these com
panies was a battery Of artillery or rather
an artillery company and was commanded
by the late Senator George Read Riddle.
Mr. Brinton 'erved in that company.
The two old cannon now In the City Hall
yard also belonged to that company and
after the war the cannon were left In this
city Mr.. Brinton says that when the
companies from Delaware came back from
the Mexican war TO this city they gave
up their arms and the arms were placed
in the old arsenal. Later they were
stored In the City Hall.
