Penn's Grove, N. j., Oct. 8. just
what disposition is to be made of the
Delaware River railroad is matter re-
ceiving considerable attention. 1t is
a well known fact that the du Points,
who furnish great deal of its freight
traffic, practically own the entire road,
and from information received from Q
man well known in railroad circles IT
looks as though the road would fall
into the hands of the Reading Railway
10. About four years ago survey was
made for an extension from the Read
ING system at Gloucester to Woodbury.,
which, it is said, if constructed, would
give an outlet for the Delaware River
road by the way of South Woodbury.,
to the BIackwood branch at Gloucester
CITY, and thonce to the Reading Ter
minal at Kaighn's Point. In speaking
Of this proposed extension,it was stated
that if such move was made by the
Reading nothing would be made public
until work on the extension was com
menced, as the entire matter would rest
solely with the Reading officials and
the Messrs. du Pont.

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-The miniature
railway at the Export exposition, which
is operated on Vintage avenue, is the
greatest children's plaything at the
exhibition. The miniature railway is
built for the use of the smallest steam
railway train in the world. II uses
coal for fuel, consists of ten passenger
coaches. with capacity Of two people
for each coach. The engine which
hauls this wonderful little train weighs
900 pounds. as compared with the
100000 pounds OF an ordinary full
grade locomotive. II is faithful re-
production of the parts and workings
OF full sized locomotive. 1t is a
standard eight wheel American type,
only five feet four inches long, Is
inches wide and SO inches from the rail
to the top of the smoke stack. The
cylinders are two inches In diameter
only. The passenger cars are five feet
long and 20 inches wide. The train
runs at speed of ten miles an hour.
The railway extends considerable
distance around the Main building,
and is eventually to be extended en-
tirely around the opposition grounds.
The children have no end of fun on
this little railway, and their mothers
and nurses are able to extract as much
enjoyment out oft as are the children
themselves.

London, Eng, Oct. 4.-The most
sensational news from South Africa
this morning was reiteration of yes
terday's report of the acquisition by
the Transvaal authorities of e500, 900
in gold, which WINS on the way to a
CAPE Town from Johannesburg. The
confirmation OF the story comes from
two sources. The Cape Argus asserts
that the Beers made the seizure at
Vereeniging, the amount being the
weeks shipment of gold on the way
from the rand to Cape Town.
Advices from Cape Town announce
that Gen. Sir George Stewart White,
v. g., who is in command Of the Brit
ish forces in Natal, will proceed to
Durham today. On his arrival at Cape
Town, he found the situation on the
Natal border SO grave that he wired for
immediate transportation for himself
and staff to Durham, and the British
second-class cruiser Forte was placed
at his disposal.
A London news agency publishes the
following dispatch from Volksrnst,
Transraal, dated yesterday An uncon-
firmed report is in circulation here
that the time allowed the British troops
to withdraw from the Transvaal border
will expire at o'clock tomorrow after
noon, and that failure to oomnly with
the demand will be considered tanta-
mount to a declaration of war;
The British Foreign Office, this
afternoon, assured the Associated Press
that absolutely nothing was known
there Of any Tansvaal demand for tho
withdrawal Of the British troops on

Negro Suspected OF Being the murderer OF
George y. Farra Locked Up mt Contre-
Vile, md.
Detective McVey. accompanied by
William Farra, son of the late George
ID. Farra, who was murdered at his
residence on the causeway on the night
of December 14th, 1897, won't to Cen
treville, Md. yesterday to look at a negro
locked up there on the charge OF cutting
another man, as the prisoner is said to
resemble Charles Thorn, who is sup
posed to have murdered Mr.. Farra.
A few days ago Constable Dunn, who
made the arrest, in looking over a de-
scription Of Thorn, noticed the resenl-
blance between Thorn and the prisoner
and wrote to Chief OF Police Dolan,
who notified Detective McVey. and it
was decided that he and the boy should
take a look at the prisoner yesterday. :
After the murder, Thorn, who had
been employed about the Farra farm,
disappeared as completely as IL the
ground had swallowed him. Farra was
killed by being hit on the head with
found by his children when they awoke
in the morning. The police made
thorough search for the colored man,
who was last seen talking to Farra in
the evening before the children went to
bed. This part of the country. was
searched and descriptions of the colored
man were sent to all parts of the
country. Several men were arrested,
but none of them proved to be the one
wanted. Detective McVey spent sons
time in Virginia in the vicinity of
Thorn's old home, looking for the sus-
pected man, hut did not succeed in
finding him. One colored man. who
was almost his double, was arrested
and brought to this city, but when the
Farra boy saw hini-h he said he was not
Thorn. The case has puzzled the police.
Thorn was we'll known in this vicinity
and as an accurate description of him
was sent broadcast they never could
understand why he was not arrested.
Some were of the opinion that Thorn
did not kill Farra, but that he was also
| killed by the murderers of Farra and

Christiana or some of the streams

Beautiful jim Key, FROM kenruc<y, at the
PhIladelphia Exposition.

philadelphia, Oct IA horse that
knows more than was ever dreamed Of
in horse philosophy is exhibited on
the Philadelphia exposition Midway, in
an attractive building especially erect
ed for the purpose. This. horse is Jim
Key. Jim is beautiful equine won
der, the most intelligent and learned
horse In the world. He gives recep-
tions daily to large audiences, and is
doing more toward Strengthening the
position of horses in the esteem and
respect of mankind than all the hui
manitarians in the universe.
Jim Key reads and writes. solves
arithmetic problems, operates a cash
register and rings any number of fares
desired on street car register. He
can manipulate telephone. and by
movements of his lips appear to be
talking through it to the man or horse
at the other end of the line. and do
innumerable other things requiring a
degree of intelligence one would never
suspect horses brain capable Of de-
veloping.
Jim Key was bred in old Kentucky OF
a pure Arabian dam, Lauretta. brought
from Arabia by the late lamented Bar
mum. The mare was known as the
Arabian Queen, and was originally the
property of Shiek Ahmeid. Jim Keys
sire was the Hamiltenian Volunteer,

EaVEKs STILL OUE



morrow to Finish some Work.
The weavers OF the Delaware Cotton
Co, formerly the Arlington mills, who
higher wages, are still out. A COM
mittee of the operatives held confer
ence yesterday with Manager Mel
Vile Gambrill, but no agreement was
reached. as Mr.. Gambrill said he could
not meet the full demand made upon
the firm.
Mr.. Gambrill was in Baltimore Tues
terday and conferred with President A.
d. Jones and several of the directors,
with whom the matter was discussed,
and when a committee of the strikers
called upon him this morning he in
formed them that the company could
not make any advance on the old goods.
An advance of 1873 per cent was made
on these goods three weeks ago and a
similar advance is now asked for. On
the now goods the company offered 80
cents per cut of II yards of warp, with
1920 reeds, but the strikers would not
accept this. They had asked for 81 per
cut, the rate paid by a mill in Chester,
Pa, which has built up a magnificent
business and has one of the finest reLu-
tations for work in the country. Mr..
Gambrill explained to the committee
that his company could not compete
with the Chester company in the mat
ter of wages. as the business would not
warrant. He said he understood the
rate in the Chester mill to be 81 pei
cut of rs yards, with 1900 or /, 35C
reeds, which means more threads to the
cut than at the Delaware mill. The
committee refused this offer, however,
and demanded the same as was paid in
| Chester,

A Defect In the Law which Puts the City to
some Expense.

Owing to peculiar phase of the
law, the CITY has been bearing the ex-
pense Of feeding county prisoners at the
police station. The matter was brought
to the attention of the Board Of Police
Commissioners at the last meeting and
as a result il is likely that an effort
will be made to devise some plan
whereby the money shall come from
the county treasury.
County prisoners are those arrested
either in or out of the city by con-
stables and out Of the. city by State
Detectives. A large majority Of such
prisoners are brought to Wilmington
for trial before magistrates here and
while awaiting trial or to be taken to
New Castle jail are incaroerated at the
rolice station, and if they are there at
meal time are fed by the police
authorities. The meals cost the Police
Department cents apiece, and, while
one meal is not very expensive many
meals make an item in the expense
budget.
County prisoners are not often at the
police station very long at a time, but
occasionally they are there for several
meals. Thomas folsom, colored, of
Newark, who was recently locked up
there on account of postponements in
his hearing was given Is meals; Cases
of this kind seldom occur, but there
are county prisoners fed at4the station
house every few days.
