but to do something for Others Let the

cal demonstration of the true spirit OF

ESCAPE FOILED.
Two Boys Prevent Howard Quarles
From Getting Out of New '..
Castle Jail.

Early on Monday evening Austin
Longacre and Mark Clymer, who were
playing about the school green in the
vicinity OF the rear end of the eastern
yard of the New Castle jail, were startled
by a rusting noise in the tree over their
heads. Looking up they spied rope
which had been thrown over the wall
from the inside of the wall. The rope
gradually came down weighted by a
piece of stone tied in a handkerchief,
which was attached to the end of the
rope.
Clymer kept guard while Longacre
notified Officer Harrington and the latter
pulled the rope into the school green and
then took it into the Jail and notified the
night warden, John Hance o. the find.
Mr.. lance at once went around the
cells and parolled the prisoners. He had
about finished the roll call of the long
term prisoners when his brother James
Hance, came into the corridor with
Howard Quarles of Philadelphia, " no
was an inmate of the "bum" cell and
serving term of 60 days on the charge
OF vagrancy,
Quarles was found in the cesspool in
the yard, where he hid when he found
his means of escape taken away. He
was placed in cell No 10, and asked for
something to eat, as ne had missed his
supper allowance by secreting himself in
the yard, when the other prisoners were
locked up.
He will be given a dict of bread and
water for several days for the trouble le
took IN trying to get away.

MACHINE SHOPS RESTORED.
New Mechanical Hall At Delaware
College Replaces the Buildings
Burned Last April.

The new Mechanical Hall at Delaware
College, built TO take the place of the ma
chine shops burned last April, is now
finished, equipped and occupied by the
Department Of Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering. All the instruction as well
as the practical work OF the Department
will hereafter be carried on in the new
building.
Mechanical Hall is a brick building
63x34 feet, and two stories high, with a
one. stOried rear extension Is feet square,
for boiler house. The whole lower floor
of the building is occupied by the ma
chine shop. The second floor contains
the electrical laboratory, the draug ghting
room, two recitation rooms and the
Office of the Department.
Great pains have been taken to equip
the machine shop in such fashion as to
meet all the needs OF the students. The
equipment includes one 20 horsepower
boiler, two drill presses, shaping ma
chine five wood. working lathes. six car
penter benches, each with its proper out
fit of tools, and 150-light dynamo with
switchboard and appliances. All of this
apparatus is in daily use by the classes
OF the Mechanical Department..
The draughting room, 15x40 feet, is
abundantly lit from the north. The
Electrical Laboratory, 15x3O feet, is
properly equipped for electrical testing
and experiment. The class rooms, 15xlS
feet each, are completely furnisle ed, and
heated and well lit.
The heating plant for nearly all of the
College buildings is located in the ample
cellar of Mechanical Hall. This cellar,
and all parts of the building are so con.
structed as to reduce to a minimum the
danger from fire.
By the transfer of the Mechanical and
Electrical Department from its class
room and draughting room in Recitation
Hall, those apartments are left vacant
and available for other uses. One of the
rooms will in time be used as an over
flow apartment for the constantly grow
ing general library.

SANTA CRUZ'S GANG
 OF BOY BURGLARS.
Five Youngsters Held to Answer fol a Series of Criminal
 OffenSes.

SANTA CRUZ, March 3.-A batch of young fellows who in time will make good criminals was up before Justice Gardner this morning for examination on the charge of burglary. They were arrested for breaking into the drug store of r. r. Perry and stealing numerous articles
 In the gang were five boys-Joe Stuben- dorf, Russell KittrelI, Alvin Mccarthy. Seymour Kittrell and Jess Rhodes-whose ages respectively are g, 10, 12, 13 and IA years. They told how they tried to open the door with button hook and key, and not being able to make 1t work broke the window and smashed the sash lock. Two of the younger ones then entered the store and handed out the plunder to the three on the outside.
 They were all held to answer to the charge of burglary and are to appear be- fore the Superior Court. Their bail was Rhodes, whose bail is $250.
 Three out of the five boys have served terms in the County Jail for various thefts, and their chance for the reform school is good. The youngest one, Joe Stubendorf, is a tough lad. He is only g years of age, but has already served about five terms in the County Jail, once for stealing a horse and another time for the stealing of a horse and buggy The lad has been known to break into places and steal innumerable articles and 1t has been impossible to keep him at school. Still he has a horror of the jail and whenever arrested and while in prison he sobs and cries as if his heart would break The father of the lad is anxious to have him sent to a reform school.

TWO BROTHERS FIGHT
 TO THE VERY DEATH,
Thomas and Shepard Wood Have a Dispute and Engage in a
 Fatal Battle

CORDELE, Ga, March 3.-In the pub lie road near here the dead bodies of Thomas and Shepard Wood brothers. well known and well connected, were found this morning. By the body of one was Winchester rife and by the other revolver. Both men were killed by q Winchester rife, however and it is thought they engaged in a fight and that one was killed and the other committed suicide.
 This theory is so conclusive that the Coroners jury has returned verdict ac- cordingly. These brothers were the best of friends and were almost constant com panfons. They were rich and prominent in business and social affairs They owned properties jointly, and were com monly referred to as the Wood brothers" and were never known to have had dispute among themselves. They were last seen at Seville yesterday after noon. There they attended to business matters and left for their home shortly before night. They seldom went armed, and why both of them should have car ried arms on this occasion is yet mys- tery. Where the bodies were found a horse and buggy also stood. and it is be- lieved that the two men disputed while riding and agreed to stop and fight 1t out,
