William G. Downward of Wilmington
mas secured patent on an improve
ment IN gas regulators, the purpose of
winch is to regulate the supply of gas
under pressure. The object of the in
vention is TO produce a construction
which will afford great steadiness in
the action of the valves making uni
form pressure throughout the entire
system and which will automatically
shut off the gas when the pressure be-
comes too great The regulator is pro.
vldcd with reservoir float which,
when the supply is too great is forced
upwards with valve-rod and cuts off
the flow of gas until the pressure is
reduced to proper point. AS the
pressure is reduced the float returns to
its proper place. The valve-rod being
secured to a governor float the device
reduces friction to the lowest possible
degree and at the same time retains
the working parts in alignment. The
regulator is very inexpensive and sim
pie in construction and not liable 10

Eric Ericsson of Wilmington, has
been granted a patent for an interfering
pad for horses to be attached to the
side Of the animals foot, comprising a
pad OF curled hair or other sprinr
cushion packing, and having an angu-
lar tongue attached connected with the
interior portion of the pad and con
structed to extend between the hoof
and shoe; attaching straps, one con
nectcd at the upper inner corner of the
pad and the other near the opposite
lower inner corner; and rubber tube
surrounding one Of the straps. The
pad is received between the hoof and
ordinary shoe and can be strapped ON
or slid over to proper position and ia
easily released from the foot. Pads Of
various kinds for horses have been
used but Mr.. Ericsson claims that his
is superior, especially as it's special
object is to prevent a stoppage of the
circulation OF the blood which some
pads are liable to do.

KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.


Tho iD-Yoars-oil son of a st. Joseph. MO-,
Jcweler Meets Death at Carpenter sra
ton, d. & q. Railroad, AZ an EARLY Hour
Friday Morning.
Homer Clarke, the 10. years old son Of
K. H., Clarke, leading iewoler Of st.
Joseph, Mo-, was struck and killed by
q Baltimore g. Ohio passenger train at
Carpenter station, six miles north Of
Wilmington, at about 3 O'Clock Friday
morning. A. b. McNeal, also of st.
Joseph, was with him ut the time, He
gives this account of the accident:
" Clarke and came down to Carpenter
station from Philadelphia yesterday,
and he intended to board train for
Baltimore at about o'clock. Both
of US were on the platform at the time,
and when tho, south bound train APP
preached, Clark ran utto jump aboard.
He was just catching hold of hind
rail on one OF tho cars when train
came flying by from the south. The
cow-catcher OF the engine caught
CLARK Q, ard the next saw was his body
mangled beyond recognition. The body
was picked up and taken care of, and
the Wilmington authorities notified. 7"
Clarke was evidently in good circum-
stances and was travelling moro for
pleasure than any other reason. His
companion says they had plenty of
money. They had been away from
home about three weeks.
Deputy Coroner Chandler was mott
lied and he brought tho remains 10 this
city Friday afternoon, when an inquest
was held and verdict of accidental
death given.
A telegram was sent to the unfortun-
ate mans father, whose place of bust
ness is on Sixth street, between Felix
and Edmund, st. Joseph. 1t is said
that the father Is wealthy.
McNeal is worried considerably over
the unfortunate affair, and he thinks
it was purely an accident.
Deputy Coroner Chandler received
telegram on Saturday from the father
of young Clarke, who was killed at
Carpenter station on Friday morning,
and by direction of the telegram Mr..
Chandler shipped the remains via
United States express on Saturday to
Dubuque, Ia, TO the homo of tho boy's
grandfather, where tho interment will
be made
1t has been learned that McNeal and
Clarke, both of whom are woll con-
hVSieu III f1ls JOSepu3 NO. ran away
from home about three weeks ago and
came East. When they left home they
had Sl20 between them, but spent it
all before they left New York. They
then travelled south and at Trenton
pawned their watches. After short
stay in Philadelphia they were again
without funds, and when the accident
happened but little money was in the
possession Of other
McNeal states that he and Clarke
both jumped for the train at the same
time at Carpenter station, and he was
not aware that anything had happened
until he reached here and could not
find his companion on the train. He
then remained here until daylight and
walked all the way back to where the
accident occurred. He is very much
downcast over the sad affair.

The Trouble About "Pnrior Car" riiot,

The Trouble About "Pnrior Car" piiots
wan Rrvolutionize the Trade.
Philadelphia Press Sunday.
There is possibility that the recent
trouble amongst the pilots licensed
under the laws of the State OF Penn
Ryivania and the State OF Delaware
VIII end IN notwithstanding the manner
IN which these men ply their vocation,
and steam pilot boats will no doubt in
short timo suporsede the sail. boats
which are now in use, DO th as take off
and cruising vessels
The matter of having steam pilot
boats off the capes has long had the
consideration of the more progressive
pilots, and some time ago the Della
ware mon had so far decided upon the
change that commission to put in use
oil the capes q steam pilot boat was Sc
cured from the Delaware Pilot Com
missioners.
Last winter clearly demonstrated to
the pilots the necessity OF making this
change as at that time the entrance
to the bay became choked up to such
an extent by ice that the sail boats
were unable TO either put pilots on
board inward bound vessels or take
them out Of tho outward bound craft
and tow boats had to be engaged for
this service.
The conditions Of the business have
undergone such vast changes within
tho past few years that the sailing craft
as a pilot boat is almost out of date.
There are, of course, times when they
are just us practical as steam for this
purpose, but in the winter season or
times of light winds they are very
awkward.
Yesterday the Delaware pilots we're
talking of buying the large steam tug
Argus, which was built, here some
years ago, and is now in New York.
This tug, they claim, could at little
expenditure BIO fitted up as fine pilot
boat to take what is known as the
Eastern Station. Such action on the
part OF the Delaware pilots would force
the Pennsylvania men to do the same,
SO it is fair to presume that this move
ment is vol under way, and that within
the next few years the schooner pilot
boat will be thing of the past.
Several years ago the Baltimore pilots
built a steam pilot boat which has rem
dered excellent service, and it is seldom
that vessel lie detained in either get
ting pilot or dropping him off when
outward bound.
Thore are now eight pilot boats off
the Delaware capes four under the
Pennsylvania laws and four under the
Delaware laws. We're steam pilot boats
adopted one half this number of boats
would be sufficient to give to Philadel.
phia first class service. Those Of the
pilots known as "parlor car" pilots
claim they will advocate the adoption
Of steam pilot boats.

it was stated that he took an active
part in defeating the nomination of

over his own signature that he is out
OF politics as leader, for go d. He
said that the statement that he was at
Wllliamsport is all wrong, and he
denies enphatically that he in any way
endeaVored to influence a delegate
against Mccarthy.
