William Lawton Of the Northside I'M

Court had granted permission to the
Wilmington City Railway Co. to lay its
tracks across Washington street bridge,
and asked the board to grant the COM

the three months limit fixed by the
Levy Court was not sufficient time to
complete the work, and he desired the
department to grant reasonable time.
President Simmons remarked that the

On the subject of homicides in the
United States the Springfield Republic
can presents figures furnished by a
correspondent, as also some Of its own
gathering, which go to show that the
comparison made between this country
and others in this particular is not as
disparaging to the United States as
many persons have thought. On the
contrary, when comparison is made
between the older parts of the United
States, where the restraints of law and
order are fairly we'll enforced, and
England, for instance, the balance is
on this side.
Massachusetts recent record for
deaths resulting from personal violence
is 0.5 for every 100000 inhabitants,
while England's is 0S, and Scotland $
lie. Vermont, Rhode Island and Con
necticut in 1893 had record of 0.6
for every 100000. As to the country
at large, it is claimed that comparisons
with older countries are unfair. Here
there are many sections where police
protection exists mainly in name. Even
the rural western counties of Massa-
chnsetts have worse record than that
of Suffolk county, of which Boston
| is part.
Another point considered is the vol.
ume of negro crime in this country,
no counterpart of which is to be foune
in England, Germany or Canada. The
last named country, by the way, ha:
an especially good record in the in
frequency of homicides.

Among the theories advanced by
English papers in explanation of the
wreck of the steamer City of Paris on
the Manacle rocks, is one that electric
lights, such as are used at the Lizard
and other important beacons around
the English coast, are invisible in thick
or foggy weather, and practically use
less. A veteran captain of an Irish
steam packet company declares that he
has often passed quite close to such
lights in thick weather without being
able to see them. Other old sea
captains say the same thing. They
declare, moreover, that other lights
are much better than the electric in
thick weather, notably those which
show big flare at intervals. 1t is said
that some of the new gas-fare lights
on the Irish coast, or the reflection;
from them, can be seen for thirty
miles, when the air is clear, and fol
four or five miles through fog. The
sudden red flare causes an illumination
of the mist which at once attract.
observation. whereas the white electri,
light is not perceptible at all.
