OYSTER BARGES LOST.
Grounded in the delaware BAY OF
Point Penn During the Recent
Heavy Storm.

News has reached this city of the sink.
ing of two Chesapeake oyster barges in
the Delaware bay off Point Penn. The
accident happened during the recent
storm. On account of the high wind the
barges were unable to land and finally
run aground.
The wind kept dashing them about on
the Leach until they sank. They were
commanded by Captain Robert Battesby
and his son James. Both got off safely.
The barges were loaded with oyster
shells. Captain Battesby had been fur
nishing shells for repairing the Angus
tine road below Delaware City.
1t is probable that one boat load was
intended for the Street and Sewer De.
partment, of this city, for use On Town
send road, as tho boat load ordered by
them some time ago has not arrived and
should have reached here some time last
week.
Captain Battesby is well.known In this
city and furnished oyster shells for the
road on the causeway when the county
repaired it, and also took shells as far as
Newport.
u He, at different times, furnished shells
to the gas company. Both barges are
badly damaged. One can likely be
raised.

COAL STOLEN.
A Young Woman Arrested on satur
day Afternoon While Taking the
Black Diamonds From Cars,

A raid on a lot of persons who were
picking coal along the railroad in the
vicinity of Old Swedes Church was made
by Special Officer Gordy on Saturday
afternoon.
Repeated complaints have been made
about the stealing of coal from the cars
of the P, w. q B. Railroad Company in
that vicinity. 1t is said that some
families did not purchase any coal but
obtain all they burn from the tracks.
Some coal is thrown from the cars in
shifting, but other is pushed from the
cars with sticks by boys.
AS soon as the cars are brought in
from the West Yard, which generally
happens about o'clock every afternoon,
the coal pickers gather about the cars.
The coal is taken away in bags, pals and
buckets, and some boys sell what they
gather for pennies and in some cases for
cakes.
When Officer Gordy reached the coal
cars on Saturday the pickers scattered.
He, however, took into custody the old
est OF the party, woman who goes by
the name of Birdie Cheer. She had a
bag coal which she emptied on the
tracks and putting the bag under her
shoulder proceeded to the City Hall with
the officer, crying bitterly. Her friends
say she generally picks coke on the
property OF the Mccullough Iron Com
pany and sometimes coal from the
tracks but took none from the cars. The
charge against her is larceny of coal.

The list of victims OF the terrible dis
aster at the dupont Powder Mills
along the Brandywine, is growing.
The latest victim is Thomas McCann,
who expired at his home on Rising Sun
lane at 4.45 Yesterday afternoon.
McCann was particularly unfortunate
as he worked in lower yard until the
morning of the fatal day, when he was
transferred to the portion of the works
in which the explosion occurred.
He was very seriously burned and from
the first it was thought he could not re-
cover. He, however, made q brave
struggle for life.
He seemed to rally for time during
Saturday. He was unable to continue
the struggle any longer and when a sink
ing spell seized him yesterday he passed
quietly away. DR.. Swithin Chandler
was summoned but found life extinct.
McCann was about 81 years of age and
unmarried. Deputy Coroner Ch andler
was notified and will hold an inq uest on
the body.
The condition of Samuel Stewart, who
lies at the Delaware Hospital, is very
critical and grave fears are entertained
for his recovery. He resides near Hag-
ley yard and has a wife and three
children.
Large crowds of people journeyed out
to the powder mills yesterday. They
were, however, unable to get into the
grounds and went away disappointed.

were killed outright will take place to-
day.
The funeral services over the body of

MAY RETURN THE MONEY.
The Government Asks for Bills In
CURED by the Different States
for Encamping Soldiers.

The State authorities are now engaged
in making out bill to be presented tc
the Government for the money expended
by Delaware in supporting the First
Delaware Regiment, prior to the National
Guards being mustered into Uncle Sam's
service as volunteers.
1t is not known whether the money Sc
spent, 1922, 900, will be refunded by the
War Department, but it is understood
that such will be the case.
The statement was given out last night
that other States are making out similar
bills and all have been requested to send
them in at their earliest convenience.
There is no definite understanding as
to why the United States Government
requires bills of expenses incurred by the
divers States prior to the guards entering
volunteer service, other than that it in
tends returning the loss incurred by them
in supporting the soldiers before the time
specified.

OPINION OF MR.. COOPER.

When asked yesterday afternoon his
opinion regarding the present complica-
tion in the Botkin case in which an at
tempt is being made by taxpayer
through his attorney to show that the
California courts have no jurisdiction
over the case, Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Peter l.. Cooper said that the matter
beyond retarding the case would not
make any difference il the action of the
Court.
His opinion was that the only thing
that could stop the case would be "a writ OF
error, and this would have to be carried
to the Supreme Court.

The annual encampment of the Della
ware Grand Army of the Republic will
be held in the rooms of the Builder S
Exchange, on Market street above Sixth,
on Thursday, February 8, 1899, when
department commander will be elected.
William II. Moystin, Of this city, is

Mr.. Moystin is a well-known and en-
ergetic business man, and local veterans
say he is thorough Grand Army man,
whose purse strings are Away open to
the needy.
The coming encampment promises to
bean unusually interesting one in view
of the fact that the next National En-
campment will be held in Philadelphia,

FEMALE SWINDLER,

Last Saturday.

The police are looking for an unknown
woman who by the use of worthless
checks obtained goods and money, OF 8

Of sS7.
The woman presented the first check,
amounting to SIP, to one of the most
popular millinery stores and purchased
a hat costing $6.75 and received $5.25 in
change. The check was on the Farmers
Bank of WILMINGTON, bearing the sigma

The check was taken to Mr.. Plunkett,
who branded it as forgery. The Off

and pronounced the $l2 check worth
less.
The first check, which amounted to
$l2, was given to the Misses Steinicken,
of No. 2l7 Market street. Had these
parties notified the police OF the swindle
the woman crook would now be loung-
ing in cell.
She gave it out where she made her

A STILL ALARM.
Residents of HOgan's Flats Almost
Create Panic and Call Out the
Fire Department.

A still alarm of fire was sounded yes.
'erday morning about 74O O'Clock
through the actions of the residents ot
Hogan's Flats on Market street between
Fifth and Sixth.
The first alarm was sounded by Mrs.
Callahan, resident of Hogan's Flats.
She discovered smoke issuing from the
caves OF the building and sticking her
head out of the fourth story window
quietly sounded the alarm at the ton
OF her voice.
A crowd gathered on the street and
smoke was seen to be pouring out of the
upper windows above Adams & Brothers
store, No. 5O4 Market street, and looking
as though sky scraper fire was going to
be the result.
The Delaware truck and Washington
chemical engine were soon on the scene,
but did not 60 into service.
Captain of Police Kane, Sergeant
Tucker and Officers Massey, Donohoe
and Shields went into the stores of Mr..
Slesinger and Adams q Brother and
kept up the investigation until they To-
Gated the origin of the smoke on the
fourth floor of Hogan's flat, where a
stove had been put up and the pipe run
through a thin partition into another
room instead of being run into chin
ney.
As soon as the fire was built the
smoke poured out into the room and
soon the whole building was full of
smoke.
The city building inspector was no.
titled of the matter and took immediate
steps to have the dangerous arrange
ment OF stove pipe taken down.
Excitement reigned supreme. Dwell
ers OF the flat rushed to windows and
their frightened crys added to the
bedlam of. sounds, sbut above the
din of the noise could be heard the clear
cut voice of Mrs. Callahan directing the
firemen and the police to the supposed
portion OF the house which was burning.
Many of the boarders in the Hotel
Lafayette were startled from their slum-
bers and came out of the building pre-
pared to see reproduction of the recent
destructive tenement fire in New York.
1t is fortunate circumstance that Mrs.
Callahan detected the smoke as soon as
she did and much credit (?) is given her
for the assistance she rendered the fire.
