BOUGHT THE BELLEVUE QUARRlES.
HuEhss Bros. d Bangs WIN work Then

Hughes Bros. d Bangs WIN Work Them
for Ersakwater Stone.
Hughes Bros. q Bangs Of Syracuse,
N. Y, VINO recently received the CON
tract to build harhor of refuge for
vessels in the Delaware lay, have pur-
chased the Bellevue quarries about five
miles north of this city and are push
ing preparations to work theln. These
are along the oldest quarrieB in Della
ware, lying along the Philadelphia
turnpike, about half a mile from the
Bellevue station OF the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore railroad.
Years ago the place was known as
Quarryyille. Ths former owner Of the
property was Mrs. Lizzie Parsons Of
Cleveland, o.
The property comprises about II
acre8 and contains large supply OF
Brandywine granite. When it was
opened many years ago it's product was
used IN the Delaware Brsakwater con-
struction. AT that time railroad was
laid between the guarries and the Della
ware river and the product of the quar-.
ries was delivered at a wharf at the
rivers edge upon barges and thence
transported to the Breakwater. After
wards the euarries we're worked for
stone Used as ballast for railroads. but
they have not been in operation Tor
probably eight or ten years,
AT the time the bids we're opened at
the United States Engineers Office in
Philadelphia some weeks ago for the
new harbor of refuge in the Delaware
bay, the Syracuse firm, which was the
lowest bidder, was announced to be
the owner of property in Delaware.
The Bellevue quarries we're acquired
by the firm about two weeks ago, and
it is interesting to note that the stone
from the quarries will be used for a
similar purpose 10 that of their earlier
days.
Under their contract with the govern
ment Hughes Bros. & Bangs will fur
nish l, 2l0, 665 tons of stone for the sub
structure and 173. 745 tons for the
superstruc.ure. The contract price is
81. Is 3-S ton. Already the firm has
shipped mach inery to Bellevue station
for working the quarry. The machinery
has been delivered at the station and
will be removed to the quarry about
half mile distant without delay. BY
next week it is said that 200 men will
be put to work at the quarries, and
| soon afterwards 600 men will be per-
manently employed there.
The firm will huid new pier at the
rivers edge on the site of the old pier
and will there load its barges for the
transportation of stone to the scene OF
the Breakwater contract in the bay.
| 1t ia reported also that two or three
tracks will be laid from the quarries to
the pier and that four engines will be
constantly employed in hauling the
stone to the pier. This gives a good
idea of the immensely of the opera
| tons.
The transfer of the property from
Mrs. Parsons to Hughes Bros. u Bangs
was made through Harry Emmnns.
Civil Engineer William b. Carswell OF
this city has been engaged for some
time in making the necessary surveys
at the property.
The Syracuse firm is also reported tc
BIO in the market for half a dozer
barges for use in transporting the stone.

on Monday. A dog belonging to Elias
Carey, which had hesn missing aince
tho middle Of last week, reappeared on
that day, acting strangely. 1t went 10
Charles Ellegood'e premises, two miles
from town. where it bit two dogs, after
which it came here and created intense
excitement. Startling stories RAPIDLY
spread, one of which was that the rabid
canine had bitten two colored children
and dozen dogs. A pursuing party,
armed with guns, reviewers and clubs,
was quickly formed and during the
pursuit many shots were fired but nune
proved effective Finally the pursued
animal turned upon its pursuers,
whereupon the latter climbed trees
and fences and sought other places of
refuge During the scramble several
persons ran against tho door of a
neiehboring dwelling and nearly burst
1T open. While the excitement was at
its height Erasmus Hannah arrived and
shot the beast. Six dogs which were
bitten have been killed by their owners.

EcLIPsE or THE Sun.
The Approaching Phenomenon viii 80
Visible IterN.

On February LIST there will occur an an
nular eclipse Of the sun. The eclipse will
be- visible in North america south of a
line drawn through Boston, Memphis and
La Paz Lower California. 1t may be seen
from any point in South America. with the
exception of Patagonia; also from the
eastern edge OF Australia, and from many
countless islands that dot the South Pacific
Ocean.
In all this region, however, says the New
York Journal, with the exception Of mar
row path only 40 miles in width, the eclipse
will only be partial. In order to view ID as
an annular eclipse you will have to be
situated somewhere within this narrow
path. which extends from the northern
point of New Zealand across the Pacific
Ocean. and through tho northwestern corner
of South America. As will be seen by the
accompanying diagram, this path occupies
but very small part Of the earth's surface.
The time at which the eclipse will begin
and end at various principal cities in tho
United States, together with the amount"
or comparative extent. Of the suns surface
or disk, which will be encroached upon by
the moon, can be determined from the fol-
lowing table:

1t is expected that the Constitutional
Convention committee on corporations
will make its report this week, and
that some important changes respecting
corporations will be recommended. A
change that is badly needed is with
respect to the tenure Of charters granted
by the Legislature. AT present. all
private charters are limited In tenure
to twenty years, a provision which
works much injustice to the charters
of trust companies and organizations
of like character. With respect to these
institutions, the Legislature should
have power to grant charters without
limit or restriction, save that of reyoca-
ton for violation of their provisions.

The following choice specimen Of fres
silver rot is from the editorial
columns Of the Sussex journal of
Georgetown:
Tbs Delaware Legislature has carried
our the great pledge OF the Democracy
OF Delaware. by sending q pronounced
silver man TO the United State Senate.
This is what We predicted and ex-
pocted. They could not have done
otherwise and kspt their pledges to the
people. Tbs Democracy OF Delaware
triumphea on the fres silver issue last
fall and will make greater tfiumphs in
the future on the same issus.
The Democracy Of Delaware made no
free silver pledge TO the people in the
last campaign. On the contrary, the
declaration Of the first Democratic State
convention OF last year was in favor
of the present standard, !" and against
the free coinage of silver at any ratio
or the further purchase Of silver hul
lion by the government. And this
declaration was reaitirmsd by the second
State convention, at which candidates
for Governor and Representative In
Congress were nominated.
The further assertion that 1.-THE
Democracy of Delaware triumphed on
the freq silver issue last fall" ia utter
nonsense. As fact, on this issue the
Delaware Democrats were overwhelm.
ingly beaten. They elected their can
didate for Representative 10 Congress
because the Republicans had two can
didates for this office in the field. Tie
Democrats also saved the Legislature
by reason OF Republican divisions. But
on the electoral ticket, where the Re-
publicans were united. the Democrats
were defeated by large majority. and
Delaware repudiated free silver coinage
by giving her electoral vote to Nc.
Kinley and Hobart.
These are unpleasant facts, but they
are true. They are only rscited tc
show the other folly of the claim that
free silver coinage was endorsed by the
voters Of Delaware at the last election.
