BLOOD MAY YET Be SHED
Single Tax War in Delaware BE-
coming Serious.
Political ms In That State Have Decided
to- Adopt Harsi,~r Measures
Than Imprisonment.

Mob violence and bioodsbed Is u possible
outcome OF the single tax coltest IN Della
ware, aud that within this week.
The old party leaders and representatives,
OF the special privileges. attacked by the
single tax doctrine, have found that they
connot stop the agitation in. favor Of the
single tax by putting a few ofits advocates
in JAIL They accordingly have announced
privately, but unmista kabIy and 30 thatit
must come to the ears Of the single tax
TO the law, but wOald ''let the people deal
with the speakers as they see fit"
This means that crowds OF the friends Of
vested rights will be gathered whenever
possible. and the single tax arguments will
be shut out by display Of force and the
use OF 1t II necessary.
Something OF this kind occurred at Cam
den, near Dover, on Saturday, when J. g.
Frost, OF Philadelphia and William Hcran,
OF Wilmington, were denied the right cf
free speech. The speaking had been an
nounced and quite crowd was on hand at
q usual meeting place in the village.
When the time to begin arrived and the
single tax men were about TO open the
argument for the new idea, several welt
dressed rowdles seized the stand on Which
they stood and pulled it from under them
ard carried off the chairs The single
takers were comparative strangers in the
community, and not knowing with GER
tainty what their strength might be, re-
treated in good order and gave up the
meeting
The siDgle-taxers are determined, how
ever, not TO be driven from the field in
any such manner. They will make 1t a
rule, il necessary, to go to the appoint

the offensive in any case nor to hurt any
body seriously. But they believe they

There win be an indignation meeting cor

Girl Made Her Eastern Beau Come
West on Her Fathers Farm.
Greenup, KY, Aug. I2.-In the Big
White Oak neighborhood In Grecnup county
lives John walIingford, prominent farmer
and stockman. He is the father OF young
lady OF twenty years.
Miss Rose WaIiingford, in the winter, got
into correspondence with wuiter Nannon,
who lived i'll Vermont, and the two be-
caine engaged TO be married. Upon in
forming her father Of her intention, be be-
came angry, and ordered her to write TO
The young man again at her peril, as he
would not have her about his premises If
she persisted in her intention of marrying
a man whom she had never met.
The girl begged her father at least to
allow her to write and inform him of her
fathers objection. He consented, and as
he saw no more letters, he concluded that
the affair was at an end.
In March young man came to the
waliingford house to hire as q laborer
He appeared to be an experienced hand,
and WaIlingford formed u good opinion
of him. Things went on smoothly until
few days ago.
WaiIDgford became sick, and one day
when his daughter and the hired man were
seated in his room he suggested that, aR
he did not expect to recover, he wished TO
see his daughter situated SO as to be able
to live comfortably after he was gone.
At this the young lady confessed that she
was already SO situated, and that the hired
man was none other than her husband, and
Walter HaDnon, her unknown correspondent
OF the winter.
The father was greatly surprised, but
no less pleased at the announcements, as he
had no other in his mind than the hired man
for his daughters husband. Harmon and
the girl had been driven to Grayson one
evening and been married, and no one was
WISER The young folks are comfortably
situated. as Hannon had an amount OF

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.?

As might have been expected, the Ital-

with murder, were also confined A night

into the jail, took all three men out,

STILL KICKING.

President Phillips OF the Metropolitan
Street Railway persists in his objection
To the putting of flagmeH at these points
where his line intersects another rapid
transit road. He holds to the opinion that
the whole matter OF cars crossing can be
far better regulated by the motormen
and gripmen Changing their bells than
by a watchman, who is ON the alert all the
time and knows when it is safe for one car
to go ahead, or when another should come
TO staDdstill. There are negligent watch
men. of course, and they are as nabie as
but the chances of accident are very much
less with them stationed at the danger
point than if prevention depended simply
upon the Changing OF the motormen's bells
The very best proof that this is the case
may be found in the fact that no accident
has occurred thus far at any OF the cross
iDgs where watchInen have been stationed.
Mr.. Phillips will find it difficult to
make people believe that his objection to the
watchmen proceeds from any other motive
lndn Tie Otsire 10 S1Ne lne money lie would
have to pay them, or that his preference for
bell signals is based upon his anxiety for
the greater safety OF the public. The clang-
ing of car bells is already a severe test upon
human endurance and it is more than proba-
BILE that the additional racket would only
increase the torture. Moreover, it is ex-
ceedingIy doubtful If this method of sig
mailing would accomplish the purpose which
an alert and conscientious watchlnan full
fills. Motormen are necessarily too much
occupied with paying attention to con-
ductors' signals and watching out for care
less people trying to cross the tracks, to be
relied upon to give bell signals just at the
right moment, and delay might cause serious
disaster.
Counsel for the Metropolitan Company
insisted that the bell signal system is IN
vogue in forty different cities, and he was
supported in hts plea for them by President
Baker Of the Columbia Line It is posi-
bic that in smaller cities, where the traffic
is not as great as here, the bells may suf-
fice- Here In Washington, however, watch
men are needed, and the people have a
right to insist upon them.

Draw.
Chica go, Aug. 12.-Louisa Olsen took a
header from her bicycle into Chicago River
Sunday night. The wheel remains ashore,
and Miss Olsen was rescued from death by
John Carbonne, fireman OF the tug Will
lam Dickinson. -
When the bicycle girl was rescued she
showed that the ruling passion was strong
even in the face OF such death as one In
the Chicago River by her first remark, as
she stood dripping with not very clean
water:
where's my wheei?" she asked.
Miss Olsen, who lives ut 463S Chaniplain

tried to cross Rush street bridge when it
was swinging at t0:45 O'Clock. She wis

bell to announce the swinging of the bridge
did not deter them, ana they reached the
bridge at the north side whe N 10 was turn

men, who were in the lead, wheeled upon
the road. but Miss Olsen was too late, and
attempted to make the sidewalk. In an
instant her wheel was caught between the
railings and she fell
Her wheel was caught by a man, but tho
swinging bridge carried the girl beyond
his reach, and she fell into tho river as q
cry OF alarm went up from half hundred
persons who watched the foolhardy at

The tug William Dickinson was Just en-
tering the tiruw with the whaleback in tow,
and was probably $50 feet away from
the girl when she struck the water. The
cries attracted the attention Of Fireman
Curboune, who ran aft, and the flashing

rel u a surprise to most people," said
james 4. Newton. OF Paterson, N.
j., at the Oxford, ITO be told that
my native city, bcsides being the home OF
Garrett Hobart, is the center OF the silk in
dustry OF America. In fact, 1t is lRo own
among silk merchants as the Americas
Lyons.
silk weaving was introduced there
about seveDty-flve yenrs ago by French
family, who had emigrated from the city
or Lyons, in France, and who knew only
tins one trade At first they tried other
means of obtaining livelihood, but final
F, when all else failed, The father de-
cided TO set up lccm and ply his trade.
Improved an immediate success. He manu-
factured only the ccarser grades OF silk,
but saving the cost of importation he was
able to sell much cheaper than the stores,
so his productions were eagerly bought by
the enterprising house wives
Soon he had his two sons at work with
him, and at the end of year had small
factory which gave employment To about
twenty workmen. Then he sold to mer-
chants and began to manufacture the better
grades OF silk. Today Paterson supplies
the major part of the silks used in the
western Hemisphere, ,emhracmgev grade
from the coarsest to the finest. There are
over forty silk mills In the place, which
keep busy during the entire year over
twenty five thousand hands, or about one
fourth OF the entire population OF the city.
"As each workman can turn out 100
yards OF silk day you are able to form
a slight idea of the enormous output. In
all but the very finest goods the dnmestics
have almost entirely superseded the i'm
ported fabrics, which latter, as they have
to pay duty and freight. cannot be sold so
cheaply. The cocoons, from which the silk
is spun. are gotten from more southerIy
Countries, but Of late years the experiment
has been tried Of planting mulberry trees
and endcavoring TO raise the silk worm in
the surrounding country. Thus far the ex-
pertinent has not been very successful, but
we hope soon, by the aid of modern i'm
provements in silk worm culture, to have
the whole Of our supply come from ad-
jacent farms"
