boys and by O'Clock they were rea Iy to
start, The procession moved down College
street four abreast stopping at intervals
to give yclls. When they reached the foot
of the hill they were joined by a smaller
crowd of students, who had been doing
their best to make. "a noise and to let the
people down town know that this was an
occasion to celebrate. The crowd now
over 2pI by actual count, marched around
the park and collected about the fountain
where some new yclls, which had been
gotten up for the OCCASION were gwen.
and each member of the team WAS giv,n
three cheers.
The procession was again formed and
moved w Church street in single nlc.

Stolen From the POStlfflCe Monday.
THE SAFE WAS NOT DISTURBED
Burglars Could Not Obtain
Postage Stamps.
ENTRANCE MADE THROUGH A WINDOW

Newark, July Burglars broke
into tho Newark postollice early this
morning, and stole between 5000 and
1000 postal cards and about so pennies.
They also carried off large number
of letters. those which were In the
general delivery and those which had
been dropped into the Office, through
the front door, since Saturday. 1t is
not known whether the letters con-
tanned any valuables. The safe was
not disturbed, and, consequently, no
stamps were stolen. 1t is believed the
intruders were frightened off before
they had an opportunity to attempt to
open the safe.
Entrance was effected through front
window. Several holes were bored in
the shutter, and panel 12xl5 inches
was removed. An attempt was also
made to get in through rear window,
but it was lined with tin, which served
as barrier to the operations of the
thieves.
a neighbor heard noise between 2
and 3 O'Clock, and it is supposed tho
robbery was committed at that time.
The family of John f. Lewis lives
over the postoffice, but they were not
aroused.
When Postmaster William II. Smith,
who lives about square away, arrived
this morning, he found the rear door

tain the following:
yokohama, Japan, July 13.-Ad-
vices from Seoul, the capital of Korea,
give the details of series of dynamite

Narrow Escapes at the r., W. & ID. Rail

Two persons narrowly escaped seri-
Gus accidents Monday at French
street station Of the r., w. Il B. rail-
road. Tho first was a Miss Steele of
this city. who had gone to the station
to meet a friend arriving on the Della
ware railroad express at 10 o'clock.
While the train was standing at the
station the second section of the Della
ware express, the Rehoboth train, came
up and was switched into the shed
track. Miss Steele had five friends
with her, and fearing that the train
was going to come alongside of the
tracks where she was standing she
hastened to cross the track leading into
the shed ON which tracks the second
section was coming. She barely escaped
being struck by the locomotive.
The second person to have a close
call was Porter Spencer. He had a
truck laden with trunks and was
about to pull II out of the shed
toward the express due here at $50
o'clock, when engine No. 1872, which
was lying On the side track to take the
Norfolk express down the Delaware
railroad, pulled out and struck the

New York World, Saturday.
"Ready, aim, fire! !" shouted Col.
Robert g. Ingersoll when the last pic
ture of him in life was taken by the
photographer. This was last month.
when the great agnostic, Just appointed
counsel for the Kinetic Motor Co.,
went down to Wilmington, Del, to in
spect the new invention of A. p.
Dodge. He was in his usual jolly mood.
He saw the motor propel the car on the
railway tracks without apparent effort
and then the photographer came out to
take snapshot of all hands.
"Hold !" cried Col. Ingersoll to the
photographer. 81 must appear--it
may be perhaps the last time-in front
of the camera in my favorite attitude. !"
Lighting cigar and inserting it
between his fingers, the colonel posed
and gave his commands. When shown
the picture later, the colonel said {:
why, that's certainly Bob Ingersoll
there. I'm sure recognize him."
The picture, which the World pro-
duces in connection with the above
article, is a good one. 1t represents

A TERRIBLE CRIME IN TEXAS
An lI-years-oId Girl Found Hanging to q
Tree.

Chicago, ILL.,, July ga special
from Dallas, Texas, says:
"Fannin county, rs miles north of
Dallas, is in state of indignation over
q terrible crime. An 11-years-old white
girl, the daughter of Alonzo Newton, a
farmer, was found yesterday by her
father hanging lifeless from tree near
her home. The child was left alone in
the morning, when her father went to
his work. As soon as Mr.. Newton dis
covered the murder of his child. he
aroused the neighborhood. News was
sent to Benham, the county seat, seven
miles distant. and Sheriff Rulings
forces. the police of the city, headed by
Chief jackson, and the citizens searched
diligently for a clue to the crime. The
search was continued all day, and
Justice John Steele, acting coroner,
began an official investigation. Tho
people of Fannin county are terribly
aroused, and lynching may be the
outcome.
'Sherifr Ribling said last night:
we cannot safely arrest the suspected
persons. because of the excited con-
dition of the county. All can do is
to watch, and prevent escapes.

Contrary to the English and some
continental usages, the practice of the
Harlan Il Holhncsworth Co. in planning
a ship has always been to prepare first
their estimated tables of displacement,
and then shape out block into tho
approximate form and size required to
caliper TO the required displacement,
after which and when the actual ton
nagc at the desired draught has been
determined by a detailed examination
of the weights to be created. the ap-
proximate model embodying as it does
all the principles of stability, entrance,
run, flare, sheer and body balance de-
sired, is smoothed and faired down to
tho exact point of displacement aimed
at. With the model approved the
course in the mold loft becomes the
normal one in use elsewhere, except in
two minor particulars, namely, that an
improved scrib ng device is emf loyed
in connection with drawing in the
frames and other sectional curves upon
the floor, and secondly, that only
wooden molds or battens are used as
patterns in bending the frames and
other angles. All molds arc sawed out
by machinery located in the mold loft
and run by a special engine.

for the extra egg. As matter of fact,
DIR. Murray was the victim of Joke.
