THE YELLOW FEVER SCARE.
MANY or THE VETERANS DO NOT

OF FEVER.

MANY OF THE VETERANS DO NOT
THINK THERE HAS BEEN A CASE
OF FEVER.
General John p. Donahoe, OF this
city, has received the following letter
from Sergeant Major Eugene Hart. at
the Soldiers Home, at Hampton Roads,
which viii be OF much interest to VIII
mington people who have friends in
that vicinity:
National Soldiers Home, Va. August
3, 1899.
My Dear General: Captain Barney
showed me a letter from you yesterday
In which you stated you intended 10
make a visit to Old Point, and vicin-
ity, in the near future, which | sup
ise you will be compelled to call OF,
on account of the fever scare. Now
don't let that stop you, as /, as we'll as
many others, do not think that there
has been a genuine case of yellow Jack
here. The number OF deaths for last
eleven daSs in July is not as many as
last year in the same length OF time.
no deaths for the last two days, and no
more sickness than usual. l under
stand the mail has been ordered out
without fumigation to-day. We in the
Home are treating the scare very
lightly, as the following program of
yesterday afternoon will convince
you: Baseball. foot and bicycic
races, band concerts, etc. etc. L sun
pose the guards who surround us and
people outside consider us heartless
wretches in making so much noise.
thus destroying their delusions I only
hope the Quarantine will continue for
three months, so far as the Home is
concerned, in which case it will be
the means OF breaking up some Of the
dives in Phoebus. The boys all wish to
be kindly remembered. We have six
recruits (good men and true) to mus
ter tomorrow night. Hope Comrade
Reilly enjoyed his trip. although it
being Sunday. could not do as much
as we would have like6 to make his
and tine national commanders stay
more pleasant.
With best of wishes, remain yours,

lferred to the Law Committee.

Big FIGHT IN PROSPECT,
JOHN BlGGS WILL PARTICIPATE
IN COLES DEFENSE.

BOTH HE AND WALTER II. HAYES
ARE NOW ASSOCIATED WITH
SYLVESTER d. TOWNSEND, JR..
IN BEHALF OF THE YOUNG CA
MADAM WHO SLEW MONTAGUE.
When tine Court OF Oyer and Termi-
ner convenes in September all interest
will hang about the trial of Montylaoo
A. Cole, a young Canadian, for the
murder Of young Montague.
The deadly assault was committed
on the public streets OF this city, the
weapon used was a baseball bat, and
the cause for the crime was jealousy
over Edna Wilson, a dissolute young
woman, who was receiving the atten-
tions Of both young men. Montague is
in Kent county cemetery Cole oc-
cupies a cell in New Castle jail, and
the Wilson woman, whose speech and
manner indicate that she was delicate
ly reared and enjoyed exceptional edu-
cational and social advantages early IN
life. is also confined in the Jail to be
used as the star witness for the prose--
cution, she being an eyewitness OF the
tragedy Who she is or where she
came from. no person but herself in
this neighborhood seems to know. She
admits that her name is not Wilson,
but refuses to tell anything about her
antecedents. How far she will 20 in
the work OF assisting in the conviction
OF her living lover for killing her dead
one is question.
Strenuous efforts viii be made to
save Coles neck. Originally Sylvester
! ID. Townsend, Jr., was Retained to do
fend the unfortunate young Canadian.
The gravity of the situation was such
that he felt the need OF having assist
ance. Coles relatives came on from
Canada to see what should be done in a
material way, but, before their arrival.
Mr.. Townsend had associated Walter
H. Hayes with him in the case. Now
ex-Attorney-Genera John Biggs has
been taken in, and Attorney General
White and Deputy Attorney General
Cooper have the fight OF the year on
their hands. While Mr.. Townsend is
a young man with limited experience,
he has in Messrs. Hayes and Biggs two
associates who are noted as strong
fighters in criminal cases. and when
they once begin Coles defense It will
be made most interesting to the state
prosecutors.
It is not believed that Cole can be
acquitted. but the hope is to save him
from being hanged and to prevent a
verdict of murder Of the second de-
gree, which would mean imprisonment
FOR life.

EPwORTH RALLY POSTPONED
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR AND EP-
WORTH LEAGUE EXERCISES
BROUGHT TO ABRUPT CLOSE
RY RAIN


The Epworth League and Christian
Endeavor meeting was brought to an
abrupt close by the rain, which fell
in torrents, at Brandywine Summit
camp grounds yesterday. The rally
was finally postponed until this after
noon, when the part Of the program
given yesterday will be repeated.
The rain fell in torrents and con-
tinued during nearly the entire day,
but, nevertheless, the morning preach
ing service was continued, but only
with small congregations. The sermon
was preached by Rev. Walter E. Avery,
Of Newport, from the text, James !,
and 3: MY brethren, count it all Joy
when We fall into divers temptations;
knowing this, that the trying Of your
faith worketh patience. But let pa
tience have her perfect work, that ye
may be perfect and entire, wanting
nothing" Pastor Avery held that a
man may be pure, yet not perfect, az
Adam. The trying Of the Christian
faith works patience, or as he parel-
leIed 1t, endurance. 1t is this endur-
ance, or staying quality, that makes
the Christian perfect. and worthy Of
the commendation from the Master
"Well done. thou good and faithful
servant" that he may enter into the
temple where he will want nothing.
Rev. DR.. Grove, OF Asbury, was call
ed on to pray, and he made a fervenf
invocation.
Presiding Elder Wilbur f. CorkraI
preached in the evening. He chose hi
text from Hebrews xii, 2;
Looking into Jesus. the author and fin
Usher Of our faith; who for the jo,
that was set before him endured thu
cross, despising the shame, and is Sc
down at the right hand Of the thron'
OF Cod" S%FEY
DR.. Corkran preached a powerful re
vival sermon, his theme being Chris
Our Helper He closed with an ex
hortation and rousing altar servic
followed, with Professor Gibson at tn
organ, and Alfred Willing in charge.
There were few visitors on tn
grounds yesterday.

From Washington.
JETTIEs TO BE LET ALONE

SECRETARY OF WAR ORDERS
APPROPRIATION OF $3.50 10000 TO
Be USED AT ONCE AND APPLIED
TO STILL FURTHER DEEPENING
THE CHRIsTIANA.
General William F. Smith, United
States engineer in charge Of the har-
Dor Of Wilmington, has received in
structions from the Secretary OF War
to begin the work Of making 21-
foot channel in the Christiana river.
This viii be good news to the mem
bers OF the Board OF Trade and others
who are interested In local Shipping
and trade.
General Smith did not desire to do
this work. He was content to let the
1S-foot project, now about completed
suffice for time. IL was his desire to
complete the jetty project at the mouth
OF the Christian before doing any more
ureuslng. But there were others who
wanted the s250,000 appropriated, in
ADDITION to the sum already expended,
10 be used to make a channel twenty
one ieet deep and 300 feet wide, an in
crease OF three feet in depth. and
about 100 feet in width, and they car
ried the day, claiming that the money
was appropriated for dredging, should
be used for that purpose, and that jetty
projects could come In later. The
Board OF Trade was concerned in this
and communicated with the chief en-
glneer.
Several days ago General Smith re-
ceived instructions to make a 21-foot
channel, and specifications are already
In course OF preparation. 1t will be
month however, before the contract is
awarded.
