THE pRMANDs OF WAR.

Gawthrop & Brother. OF this city,
have eleven plumbers and filters en-
ployed over at the Carney's Point
works of the Repauno Chemical Com
pany. They have been there for sew
eral weeks and there is no telling when
they will get away, for the breaking
out of the war has compelled the COM
pany to greatly augment the explosive
producing capacity Of its works, and
many new powder presses are being
set up and adjusted, together with
other machinery necessary to increase
the output of the works. These Will
mington men were over at the works
on Saturday when the fatal explosion
took place Fortunately for them they
were far enough away from the spot
10 escape injury, although some OF
them distinguished themselves by as
sisting in putting out the flames which
followed the explosion.

of the men to the Wayfarer on the VI

upon it that hereafter I shall attend
strictly to my business and not go any
nearer to danger than my work neces-
sitates. There was something decid-
edly laughable about the explosion, in

seymen running you would have laugh

some of them have stopped running
yet, unleas they have been headed on.
There are between 200 and 300 men en-
ployed over there, and you should have
seen them hunting for safety. Two OF
them started to run into the Delaware
river, and did not recover their nerve
until they were on the bank. l saw

WRIGHT KINGS ESCAPE
SHERIFF FLINN TIAD TO PAY $36,
AMOUNT OF THE FINE AND
COSTS OF KINGS CASE.

OIlEhlf i LINN i1tAnJ III FA1' Sc0,
AMOUNT OF THE FINE AND
COSTS OF KINGS CASE.
The Police Department Saturday re-
ceived word that Wright King, who
escaped from cell in the county court
house recently, was in New Jersey,
but the department has given up the
idea OF capturing him and Sheriff
Finn and his deputies will have to
make the capture. King was convict
ed and fined in the Court of General
Sessions for obtaining money under
false pretenses. His fine amounted to
$40 and costs.
After he had been sentenced he was
led away to a cell in the court
house. When the warden returned
w.uh another prisoner who had SEN
tence passed upon him, he left the
keys of the cell on a small table in
the corridor.
As soon as the warden left the cor
ridOr TO return to the court room King
slipped from his cell and taking the
keys, he unlocked the door which stood
between him and freedom, and walked
up the corridor where several court
attaches were standing, and escaped.
II was several hours before his escape
was made known. When Sheriff Finn
was informed Of the mans fight he
telephoned the police department and
search was made, but he was no
where to be found.
Sheriff Finn had to pay S36, the
amount of the fine and costs in King Is
case. II is not known whether the
sheriff will make an effort to capture
King or not. Great secrecy has been
maintained regarding Kings escape by
the court house officials.

MANY CHANGES PROPOSED

There will DO n number OF changes
made at the end OF the fiscal year at the
city building, and " the present indlca-
lions materiallze the citizens will have
reason to be thankful that the affairs
OF the municipal government are in the
hands OF a business council.
il is intended that the appropriations
next year will be made to the depart-
men,s most needing them, and the old
scheme OF the councllmen, Of trading
certain items will be to a great extent
done away with. AS has been hereto
fore exclusively mentioned in the COL
umns OF the 1ntelllgencer, many i'm
provements Will be made in the police
and nre departments, and the publlca-
ton OF these faetsmet with general APP
prevail on the part of the public. These
are two branches OF the city govern
ment that should not be found wanting
In any particular and the council can
not appropriate money for a better
cause.
There promises TO be number OF
changes when the ordinance committee
meets to fix the licenses. Not so much
IN the rate charged but In fixing pen-..
atty for the -non-payment OF the same.
A member IN speaking OF 1t last night,
mentioned several matters that would
be brought up for consldera ton. among
them the licenses for balls, etc. At pre-
sent not one club or society In twenty
pays a license for giving dances and
all -t1ney have to. do Is to apply to the
chief OF police and get an officer TO keep,
order, for which thev pay s.. This does
not SO to the city
The proposition is to charge license
Of IS for every dance and enforce the
ordinance. This will include the ser
vices OF an officer. Another proposition
Is to create ailicense for societies and
clubs selling beer at their balls. This
will be extra and above the FIVE dollars
referred to above.
The appointment of the new special
license officer will be made at the next
regular meeting OF council, and he will
begin work right away In hunting up
persons doing business who have not
paid their license. His duties will not be
light by any means and a smart man
should be chosen, who can attend to
them. He will have to be all over
town and keep In touch with all the Ii
cense holders and the amounts paid by
them.

Another War Rumor Denied.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.-Georse
H. McFadden,, of the firm OF George IL.
McFadden & Brothers, cotton dealers Of
this city. to-day declared that
there was no truth In the statements
contained In a dispatch from Houston,
Texas, that his firm had ceased buying
cotton on account of probability Of war
with Spain. Mr.. McFadden said the
rumor telegraphed from Texas had
probably been based on telegram sent
by the firm yesterday afternoon TO Its
agents In Texas and at other southern
points to ''cancel all limits" This mere
ly meant for them to cease purchases
for tho day. owing to the belief OF the
firm that there would be decline. in
the markets. Similar kilograms are fire.
Qucntly sent to the agents. and this one.
he said. had no significance whatever.
beyond that of the affairs of the firms
business The agents, he said, are to-
day purchasing cotton as usual y.
