ITEMS FROM new CASTLE
Correspondence Of the REPUBLICAN
NEW CASTLE, October 20, 1907.

That New Castle will have shirt factory
Is an assured thing. In addition to tla1
theie were three other business men here
yesterday hunting for sites. They learned
that the city has lots Of fres land for sites
and exemption from taxes for ten years.
The chronic kickers will not be needed.
They do not have to give cent. They do
not even have to say good word for any
proposed Industry. The industrious Will
come and New Castle people will be ablo
to earn their own living and will not leed
outdoor rclief. The Citizsn,' Committee
will hold meeting each evening and tho
outside wcrld through the REPUBLICAN
will he in touch with the workings OF tho
COMMITTEES.
New Castle came in for Its share OF the
storm. For some weeks pasG u force Of men
have been At work on the sluico on the
Janvier farm. On Sunday night tho heavy
tide swept away about fifteen feet of tho
bank and the water poured over the marsh.
Yesterday Il force OF men were put to work
to try and repair the damage before night
time.
1t was feared that If the wind changed
and higher tide came that enough water
would cross tho marsh and sweep away
the tracks of the trolley road.
The pilings had been joined toge her and
ready to be placed in the sluice but tho
storm was quicker than the workmen.
The Moriurily cabin which has been the
headquarters for q number OF colored men
was swept from its moorings. At the
time there were five men in 1t and they
had an interesting experience. Mat Mur.
ray and George Russell held on to tine last
and when they jumped from the cabin
they landed in over four feet of water.
The cabin was finally landed near the
Rainey residence where 1t has been safely
moved.
The storm swept away the pier of the
Lupton brickyard, u short.distance below
New Castle. The railrond ties battered
down the pier at the Cofleld lighthouse
and the storm washed away considerable
of tho pretty Coileld Beach. The damage
around New Castle is placed at about
$500.
The three lnasted schoon or supposed to
bo the r. Cottingham is still bbached at
Reynolds She will be unable to get oil
unless channel Is sdug out, as she Is in

Owing TO tho storm the W u N. rail-
road floats weru unable to bring several
carloads Of iron to the Delaware Iron
Works yesterday.
The people Of Now Costle are opposed to
any ono coming here to futtnn by their
wits. If Penn Day il to be celebrated then
it is New Castle people who should do it,.
1t is unfair to New Castle for Il number OF
singers to come here and charge for seats
while Pom is never mentioned. All the
people arc entitled to be present If tho
Opera House was secured for u Pom cele-
bration.
Outsiders however, are to reap the har.
vest. By all means do not attend the sc.
called concert.
