4 LESSON In GEOGRAPHY.

Superintendent Leisen shows Members
Of the City Council what the Oommis-
sion Wants In the Line OF improvements
Some of the members of City Council
took lessen in local geography last
evening under, the direction of Park
SUPERINTENDENT Leisen. The chart used
was map of Brandywine Park and the
lesson was designed to make the way
easier for that body to favor the pro-
posed supplement to the act creating the
Park Commission.
The objection raised against the pro
posed improvements was that the rich
alone would be benefited by the building
OF these roads, while there would be no
paths for the poor people to walk on
The map showed that there were numer.
GUS walks and bIidle paths, and thai the
park drive itself gave those VIII, wished
to reach the upper part Of the Seventh
ward from Brandywine village more
accessible route The exposition OF the
plan had a good effect in convincing some
of the city councilmen of their mistaken
idea relative to the benefits Of the
amendment and they now favor it.
Members of the Park Commission will
60 to Dover within the next few days to
urge the passage of the bill.

AND PEACE REIGEED.

The Question of "who Swan the Row
antS?" settled-Both Captain Buck
ingham and Major Smith Entitled TO the
Honor.
Another meeting of the survivors Of
the Fourth Delaware Regiment was held
last evening in Dupont Post rooms at
which the much mooted question OF
WHO Swan the Rowsnty2" was dis
cusssd. This problem bids fair to take
8 position In history alongside of the
famous one OF "Who Struck Billy Pat
terson2" and the only way out seems to
be to give to both Brevet Captain David
E. Buckingham and Brevet Major g.
Redmond Smith, equal honors The
meeting last night was noticeable from
its lack of bitterness and a cordislity
between the factions which spoke OF
peace.
A number Of sffidavits were read which
sustained the claim Of the gallant David,
and others which gave a similar honor to
Major Smith. The matter was finally
settled by adopting a series Of resolutions
asking the President to cause a medal OF
honor to be issued to Major Smith This
resolution will be sent to President
Cleveland, the secretary Of war and Others
who are interested in these matters

THE COMPULSORY EDUCATION BILL

An Effort to BE Made TO Confne It's
Workings to New Castle County-wouId
There BE sumcient School Acoommo-
dationss
A new phase has cropped up in the
agitation over the compulsory education
bill, in the shape OF an effort to make the
proposed law operate only In New Castle
county, it being apparent that the
measure will not meet the wants of the
lower counties. There Is every likeli uood
Of the matter coming up before the
Board OF Education az the meeting on
Monday night, and a committee from the
New Century Club will be present on
invitation
The question has bsen asked IL,
In the event of the passage of the
compulsory education law, there would
be accommodations for the extra children.
The public schools have a seating
capacity OF 10 034; the number attending
at the beginning of March was s POS.
and 100 applications for seats had been
filed There were 90 vacancies in the
grammar, and 1,733 in the primary
schools In school No 2 there were no
vacancies and ten applications, In No 3.
two vacancies and four applications, and
ia No. 10, no vacancies and twenty eight
applications, but In tine other white
schools there were vacancies far ahead OF
the demand
The colored high school has no vacan.
cies and twenty five applications but In
the other colored schools the vacancies
were much in excess Of the demand.
1t is believed that there would be
ample accommodation for the increase
In the attendance Of white children, but
there is no doubt existing that more
school room would have to be furnished
for the children OF the colored class.
This is q question the state fathers will
do well to look into.

SAN DIEGO. Jan. 23.-It was reported
at Otsy today that two Mexicans on
Monday attempted to cross the Sweet
water river at the upper crossing and
were drowned. The waters of that river
remain at food height. having receded
little if any. The amount OF debris
coming down is less than during the
food. but the waters still rush in tor
rent. The losses in Otay valley are
quite as serious as at Tia Juans. al
though not 80 extensive.
Guatelli, q wine grower adjoining
Daneri, lost 80 acres of potatoes and
vines, valued at $4,000. Daneri lost rs
acres OF vines, valued at $500. The old
Woodward place is suined. hilbert and
others lost many cattle, the animals
getting mired and starving to death.
Nine and one-hslf inches OF rain fell at
Siempreviva during the storm.
the streets of Tia Juana are filed with
mud and much damage has been done
to buildings. The adobe Jail was wash ed
down and is now only mud pile with a
corrugated iron roof lying upon it. The
back half of the custom house is washed
down. Three feet of water covered the
floor OF the place during the highest
water. The boundsy monument was
washed until it fell at 80 today. and it
was soon afterward buried out of sight.
The river in the new channel runs at
the bridge perhaps 60 feet wide, very
swiftly and carrying down an immense
lot Of earth. 1t has cut through at many
different places, utterly running much
land and leaving many houses ON islands
which will be swept away if another
rise comes. The destruction on the
south side equals that on this side. and
even as far up the river as the jun ction
Of the Cottonwood. ranches have been
washed out. Barrundia. who has a
ranch just above the junction, lost abou
rs acres of fine land that lie now a sand
heap. Three other families were washe d
out and had to take to the hills. A
slight rain today ocossioned coma anx-
iety lest the food was to be renewed,
but this is impro bable. The loss in tn lie
county from the food may reach
100000.
