ROCK OIL AS FUEL
There Has been Great Increase IN
It's Utilization in Eng
land OF Late.

During the last year the enormous
increase in the use in England of rock
oil as fuel has about silenced the alarm
ist who for many years past has
prophesied a time, not so very distant
when the coal mines in that country
would be exhausted. 1t is not claimed
that the heavy draw on the coal supply
IS greatly lessened, but it is argued
that il will be before very long. Last
month the matter was under discussion
before the Society Of Arts in London
and one of the papers read on the oc-
casion gave an account of the present
position of liquid fuel, as the phrase is
over therc, in England and other coun-
tries. In England oil as fuel is in use
on the Great Eastern railway, and it is
said the results have proved satisfac-
tory. 1t has also found more or less
use in the Russian, German and Italian
navies and on one or two foreign rail
why's. When the oil fields Of Dutch
Horneo were FIRST opened up the oil
was not allowed to be carried in bulk
through the suez canal and there was
not a single port at which obstacles
were not placed in the way Of its intro
duction. Now vessels carrying $500
tons and capable OF discharging over
800 tons OF oil ger hour pass through the
canal regularly. The impediments
placed in the way Of its discharge have
been done away with, as experience has
shown that there is no real danger.
Several advantages are claimed for the
use of oil as fuel to replace coal, the
chief being the convenience of storage
the reduction of labor in storing and
rapidity of discharge. The alternate
contraction and expansion Of the fire
bars and steam tubes, unavoidable
when coal IS used as fuel, is said TO be
altogether stopped, butngainst this ha.
TO be placed a risk of overheating.-Chi

pronounced to be one of the best OF

Torrance. Every turn made by the
performers was applauded, and the
striking features Of the show were en-
cored. j. Dan Rice's Pig Circus con-
tinues to be a chief attraction and the
people wonder how anyone could hava
the patience to teach pigs to do so
many wonderful things. Ed. Estus,
the equilibrist. is a feature that at
tracts the audience. for never before
has an acrobat appeared at the park

LEVIED ON A VANISHING RAIL
ROAD.

West Chester, Aug. 1.-sheriff
Hayes has levied on the track Of the
Old Delaware River and Lancaster
railroad, on an execution issued by
Susan Wauner, Of Warwick township,
who was awarded $1,000 damages
when the railroad was built, years ago,
but was never paid. Ever since its
construction by Colonel George Potts,
years ago, this railroad has been a
victim of adverse. circumstances, as
have those who invested their money
in it. No trains have run over its
tracks for years, and the roadbed has
long been overgrown with weeds and
briars. Upon divers occasions it has
fallen into the hands Of the sheriff, and
recently it was purchased by a New
York party. The rails have for a cou-
pie of weeks been quietly vanishing
force Of laborers being engaged in
wiping the line out Of existence.

see the Cambridge boys defeat the
seaford Club to 2. Never before
was so much interest manifested In
this part of the state about a contest.
Spectators were there from Princess
Anne to Wilmington and from Cam
bridge to Ocean City and 1000 persons
were on the grand stand Seaford had
secured players from the cities and
was confident Of victory. The first OF
the game was watched with breathless
interest, but it became apparent after
awhile that Seaford was outclassed at
every point and had hired the wrong
players Brown and Manner We're the

On the arrival at home of the Cam

with brass bands and horns. A supper

BROTHER IDENTIFIED BODY AS
HIS AND COLLECTED INsUR-
ANCE.
Chester, Pa, Aug. 2.-Charles Hirst,
who was believed to have committed
suicide at Twin Oaks over year ago,
has appeared in Chester very much
alive, and good-naturedly refers to
the fact that his brother, John Hirst
identified the body of the suicide az
his.
In connection with the story is a
sensational insurance incident. Think
ing that the suicide was his son. the
father of Charles collected on a life
insurance policy, the money being paid
to him in Massachusetts, After the
cash had been handed over there ap-
peared in Massachusetts a young man
who answered the description of III,
one believed to be dead.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, which had the policy, made
an investigation of the case. and
learned that Charles Hirst was alive
and undertook to get back the money
There appears not to be any delib
crate fraud in the case, and young
Hirst says if he is wanted he will mo-
run away.

who at that time was cutting quite a
swath in New York His rogueries and
swindling practices had not then been
exposed.
Mrs. Shakespeare visited Onequi and
paid him 500 for hand reading. Her
time was her own, she was untrammel-

it was not long before she was a daily
visitor to Sir Henry's.
She gave up her apartments at the
Sloane, and took a house at No. 205

Onequi and Mrs Shakespeare.
They went back to the Thirty
fourth street residence and lived there
quietly, Shakespeare coming weekly as
before, in complete ignorance of what
had happened. But there came a revela-
tion that startled New York and made
a sensation for day. Judgments were
piled up against Onequi and he was
threatened with criminal prosecution

The furniture of the house was SOLD
