WANT THREE HUNDRED MEN

NATIONAL GUARDS TO REACH
THAT NUMBER OR LOSE THEIR
GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATION.
Colonel Theodore Townsend and Ad-
jutant-General Garrett ]. Hart have re-
ceived word from the War Department
that unless the First Delaware Regi-
ment musters 300 men at the Official
inspection it will be exceedingly det-
rimental to the guard of Delaware. and
that It will lose its appropriation.
The inspection is to be held In No
vember, and the required number must
be enlisted and on dress parade at that
time. The exact number Of enlisted
men at the present time is not known
but 1t is an assured fact that the full
quota is lacking by nearly 200.
General Hart and Colonel Townsend
are hard at work to hold up the repu
tation of the National Guard, and the!
hope the regiment viii be recruited Il
the required standard by the time th'
inspection takes place.

NEED PAY NO DUTY
SOLDIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES
MAY SEND ARTICLES HOME
WITHOUT PAYING TAX

SOLDIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES
MAY SEND ARTICLES HOME
WITHOUT PAYING TAX.
A decision was reached at meeting
Of the Cabinet at Washington which
will prove Of interest to Wilmington
people having friends and relatives
among the soldiers in the Philippines.
For some time past Secretary Gage
and Postmaster-General Smith have
been receiving numerous inquiries from
custom houses and post offices in va
rious parts of the country about the
right Of soldiers in the Philippines to
send home cigars and other articles in
the mails, and yesterday the postmas-
ter-general brought up the matter at
the Cabinet meeting in Washington. He
thought the practice was not as much
of an abuse Of the mails or the GUS
toms regulations as many people have
made out. The law and the customs
regulations forbid the sending Of letters
in the way mentioned, but it was hard
to keep up with the thing in actual
practice. AS to the various other arti-
cles the men were sending home, the
greater part of them were simply me-
mentos and curiosities. They were
sent to the folks at home, relatives,
and friends, who would never buy
them, even If they were worth buying.
To interfere with this seemed like very
small business. The conclusion reach
ed by the Cabinet was that instructions
would be sent out that such packages
where they were vouched for by Off
GERS, should be sent to their destina-
ton without being subjected to the
payment OF duty.

TYPHOID AND MALARIA.
Foes Which Threaten the
Health of All Wilmington.
ATTRIBUTED TO Two CAUSES

SOME MEDICAL MEN THINK THE
EPIDEMIC IS DUE TO SPRING
WATER, WHILE OTHERS BLAME
DREDGINGs OF THE CHRISTI
ANA.
The epidemic of typhoid fever in the
neighborhood Of Fourth and Franklin
streets is still raging. Although the
spring water at that point is blamed
for a large percentage Of the cases, no
effort has been made to discontinue the
flow Of water, and meanwhile it is run
ming as freely as if it were not under
alarming suspicion.
Dr. j. Paul Lukens, who sent a sam
pie Of the water to the state bacterio-
logical laboratory at Newark for analy-
sis, has received no report from DR..
Robin as yet, other than that the water
is being subjected to test by heat.
Secretary Wigglesworth, of the
Board of Health, says that the use of
the water will not be stopped until
some proof is advanced that it is con-
taminated and infected with germs
that would produce typhoid. Mr.. Wig
ellsworth further states that he has re-
ceiyed no complaints at the Office from
people requesting the discontinuance Of
the spring, but many have entered YER
bal protests against the water supply
being diverted into a sewer. He says
further that whether or not people
drink the spring water is optional with
themselves.
1t seems that the disease is slowly
spreading about the city. When it first
broke out it was confined wholly to the
vicinity of Fourth and Franklin streets.
There are about fifty cases reported
there now, but it is slowly eating its
way into the heart of the city, and
several cases are now reported on the
East Side of town.
DR.. ]. Paul Lukens has larger num-
Der Of cases than any physician in the
city lie has eighteen typhoid pa
tfr'e two of whom are in serious con-
dition.
The general impression among the
medical men is that the spring is the
cause of the fever, but some hold that
the dumping of dredgings from the
Christiana river on the marshes is the
cause Of the epidemic. To illustrate
this argument, the effect Of the dredg-
ing OF the Potomac, which caused an
epidemic of typhoid and malaria along
that river, is cited.
In addition to typhoid there are nu-
merous cases Of malarial fever in the
city, but this is not confined to any
particular locality.

EXCITEMENT AT THE STATION
CAR POTOMAC CAUSES DELAY OF
NEARLY AN HOUR.

ANLAANAAL AAN AAO0ANs
Much excitement prevailed around
the French street station Of the p, W..
& B. Railroad Company this morning
about 1O45 o'clock, when train No. S2.
known as the Atlantic Coast Line, came
rolling in with the platform Of the
rear Pullman car Potomac ablaze. The
cause was a hot journal.
This train is due in this city at 9.55,
but was forty minutes late, owing to
Southern misconnections, and to enable
her to make up part of the time the
throttle was thrown wide open by the
Iengineer, but he was unable to make
much of it up. When the train arrived
in this city ablaze people from all di-
Irections came running, being under the
impression that the car was on fire.
Immediately upon being brought to
a standstill several employees were on
the scene and soon extinguished the
blaze and repacked the box, which he
quired about twenty minutes. After be-
ing repacked the train passed out, over
one hour late. During the excitement
and while repairs were being made
trains we're run over the south-bound
tracks.
