RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

A special meeting of the Weccacoe
Fire Company, No. 8, was held on Fri
day, February II, and took action on
the death of our late fellow-member,
Joseph SinneX. The following resOlu-
tiOns were adopted:
Whereas, 1t has seemed good to the
Almighty Disposer of events to remove
from our midst our late worthy and es-
teemed fellow-member, Joseph SinneX;
and
Whereas, The intimate relations
long held by the deceased with the
members of this company render it
proper that we should place upon rec
ord our appreciation of his services as
fireman and his merit as a man;
therefore,
Resolved, That we deplore the loss
of Joseph Sinnex with deep feelings Of
regret softened only by the confident
hope that his spirit is with those who,
having fought the good fight here, are
enjoying perfect happiness in a better
world.
Resolved, That we tender to his af-
flicted relatives our sincere coincidence
and our earnest sympathy in their af-
Fiction at the loss of one who was a
good citizen, devoted fireman and an
upright man.
Resolved. That the members of this
company will attend our deceased
members funeral in a body: that the
engine house be hung with the en-
blems Of mourning until after the fu-
neral ceremony shall have been per-
formed, and that the apparatus be
draped i'm black for thirty days.
Resolved, That copy of the fore
going resolutions be sent to the rela-
tives of the deceased, also published in
the daily papers of Wilmington, also

MARVELLOUS FERRYBOAT sCENE

MARVELLOUS F'ERRYBOAT SCENE.
Lincoln j. Carter, author OF Under
the Dome" which comes to the Opera
House on next Friday night, spent
nearly two years in perfecting the mar
velOus ferryboat scene in his new sue
cessful play. IL is one of the most in
tricate mechanical effects ever placed
upon a stage, and makes necessary a
separate portable rigging loft, which is
carried by the company. To protect
the different mechanisms OF this scene
Mr.. Carter has made application for no
less than twenty-five patents. He has
succeeded in making an absolutely per-
feet stage counterfeit of a ferryboat
trip. Not a single detail is lacking Be

New York shore are seen. The signal

out of the slip. AS she pushes out into
the stream, the lights of the opposite
shore become larger and brighter, and
presently the outlines of the buildings
are seen. Further realism is added by
the familiar footing of a wide variety
of vessels, the steam exhaust of the
ferrybOat. the crealing of its timbers
signal bells. and the thrObbing of the
engines At last the arrival in the New
York slip shuts out the view, the chains

Smallest Estate Ever Recorded.

The Orphans Court OF Philadelphia
the other day disposed of the smallest
estate ever recorded in the Quaker
City, and probably the smallest on rec
ord anywhere. When Mary Pratt
passed through the vale of tears in
April, 1897, she. In common with the
rest of humanity, was not permitted to
carry her earthly possessions with her.
So she left behind the sum of 1888 TO
comfort the Dereaved
Great bodies move slowly, particular
ly in Philadelphia, and II was not until
last week that the estate OF Mary Pratt
came up for probate. The account of
the administrator OF the estate was
adjudicated by Judge Hanna with all
the formality and pomp that usually
accompanies such procedures. AL
though the total value of the estate
was but $3.50, there were numerous be-
quests.
A brother was awarded eighty-fou
cents and a sister eighty-five cents.
Then there were half-dozen nephews
and nieces who camored for their
shares. They got fourteen cents each.
Another niece, more favored than the
others. received the munificent heritage
OF forty-three cents TO keep the gaunt
wolf OF poverty from the porte cochere.
A like sum went to niece through her
guardian, who will have to make his
formal report back to the court as to
his care OF the heavy trust imposed up
on him.

DOING THUNDERBOLT ACT.
Kelly Struck the Lightning Be-
fore 1t Struck Him.

Thomas Kelly, machinist employed
at Mount Glare. had an experience with
lightning during a recent heavy storm
which for popularity has been seldom,
IL ever, equaled. says the Baltimore
American. Mr.. Kelly has charge of all
repairs to the Selden-Ott block signals
which are in use on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, and mad a workshop
fitted up for his own use and separate
from the other shops. The shop is n
small room annexed to one OF the larg-
er buildings, and when IL was erected
the lightnlng-rod. which runs down the
side of the main building, was not
moved, but was allowed to remain in
It's place. running through one end of
Mr.. Eelly's shop. and this oversight
was the probable cause of his narrow
escape.
Mr.. Kelly was at work I'm the shop
during the storm, and was holding in
his tongs n piece of iron which he had
just heated. lie laid IL upon the anvil
and raised his hammer to strike it,.
Just at that moment a ball of fire
flashed across the room to the anvil the
hammer descended, striking IL and
scattering fragments of the ball IN all
directions with loud report. Mr.. Kelly
was thrown across the room against
his work bench and the hammer few
from his hand and struck the ceiling
with considerable force.
Every piece OF metal i'm the shop
which was struck by the fragments
was either burned or melted at the
point OF contract and the hammer.
tongs and other tools about the anvil
were strongly magnetized. as the men
about the place afterward found they
would attract small pieces OF metal and
filings. Mr.. Kelly was not seriously in
jured but did not recover from the
shock until late at night. II is sup
posed that the lightning came down the
rod and I'm passing through the shop
was attracted by the large amount OF
metal stored therein. The lightning
also set fire 10 n small leak In the gas
pipe In the room which. previous TO the
storm was known TO exist.

Had the army troopships been able
to go to Porto Rico Without a naval
convoy the Watson squadron could have
got away within the next few days. as
the war board had wished TO close all
preliminaries by next Saturday; but as
the Massachusetts. Columbia. Cincin-
natl, Dixie and Yale, together with
several lesser craft, were considered
necessary for patrol for the Miles ex-
pedition. this changed plans slightly.
The Dixie is almost certain TO be in the
Watson squadron. and the Massachu
setts Is likely TO be. Secretary Long
expressly says, however, that the delay
OF the Watson squadron is incident TO
conveying the troops to Porto Rico. and
does not mean that the start will be
postponed until the Porto Rico opera
tions are concluded.

VALUE OF PRoJEcTILEs.

Washington, July 22.-Thus far not
a word has been received to show what
kind OF projectiles did effective work
In Santiago. Captain O'Neill of the
ordnance bureau is particularly inter-
ested in this branch for the scientific
deductions which will be afforded, and
he has sent orders for detailed reports
on the effects of all kinds OF naval ord
nance, including the dynamite projec-
tiles thrown by the Vesuvlus. The
press reports concerning the dynamite
projectiles Indicated that they had done
fearful havoc. but the observations
since then within the fortihcations do
not show that they did serious dam
age. The technical reports will dis
close just how much effectiveness can
be secured from the various appliances
now in use by the navy, some Of them
being in their experimental stages.

OF the insurgents OF the eastern depart
ment. This action on the part OF Gen
eraI Garcia is regarded as a ruse. and
is believed TO have as its object the
drawing a vote OF confidence from the
leaders OF the Cuban junta instead of
an honest declaration OF hostility to the
American plans regarding Santiago.
That General Garcia has not seriously
retired from the Cuban army Is disclosed
by the fact that he has just agreed with
