The city Permitted to- Amend In the Oxy-
hydrogen Gas Case - Rule Returnabie
July 9th. 3
Chancellor John r. Nicholson today
week permitted the city to amend
in the Oyy Hydrogen gas case by filing
a bill against the Oxy- Hydrogen Co. /,
and against John Edward Addicks as
contractor, and granted rule on the
company, returnable July 9th, to show
cause why a preliminary injunction
should not issue preventing the COM
pany from tearing up the streets except
by permission of the Street and Sewer
Department.
William S. Iilles and Arthur w.
Spruanco, who, with Henry @. Conrad
and Lewis g. Vandegrift, are solicitors
for the city, represented the complain
ants. 9. Berkeley Taylor. of Philade-
phia and II. II. Ward represented the
respondents. The original bill had
been against j.. Edward Addicks and
others, but the Chancellor had decided
that the Oxy- Hydrogen Co. should be
joined,
When the city's attorneys asked leave
to file their amendment, counsel for
the respondents objected to the amend
ment on the ground that it put the
company, which had never been party
to the proceedings so far, to disad-
vantage by causing the proceedings to
relate back to 1891, when they were
begun.
Chancellor Nicholson allowed the
amendment and upon application by
MIR. Hiiles ordered a rule to issue re-
turnable July 9th.
Counsel for the defence gave notice
hat ,.t. kl.nN 10. A.

granted against j, Edward Addioks.

still in force against him, under tho
old bill.

ceivers of the George II. Mccall Go.
who are DeHaven Morris and George
II. Mccall. After tho payment of pte.
ferred creditors, there remains So, 372. 53,
against which are claims aggregating
1856, 60i. Al. The money will be dis
tributed on the basis Of 70 S-100 per
cent of the claims, with interest. The
company has been in the hands of re-
ceivers about two years. George T.
Brown and W. T.. Lyman represented
the receivers, and Peter l.. Cooper, Jr. /,
Willard Salisbury and William s.
Hilles represented creditors.
In the matter of the case of Eliza j.
Newkirk vs.. Arthur Colburn, the
Chancellor decided the costs must be
paid on a discontinued suit before
being allowed to proceed on new
suit.
An order for publication was made
for the Chester Valley National Bank
in the case of Whitley VS.. Kent Hard
ware Co.

dier's Monument Association, post of
the Grand Army of the Republic or

Designate"
Gov. Tunnel has selected Dover as
the proper place for the memento, as
the following letter addressed to Mayor
Clarke will show:
Dear Sir: am directed by the
governor to offer to the town OF Dover
a gun which was captured at Santiago
in the late war with Spain, and which
the War Department has decided to

expense of mounting same.
"Please let me know the desire of
the Town Council as to this loan SO
that in ease you accept the gun the
governor can notify the War Depart
ment TO that effect Yours truly,
James H. Hughes,

necessary expense of bringing the gun
hero and mounting it. We would be
pleased to acknowledge any contribu-
tions for the fund.

Early in the Morning.


Lebanon, Mo-, June 15. Congress-
man Richard Parks Bland died at has
home, near Lebanon, at 4.50 a. m. to-
day, without apparent suffering.
Mr.. Bland returned home when Con-
gress adjourned, in March, and soon
suffered relapse from an attack of the
grip. For more than two months, he
had been confined to his home, and his
health had gradually declined. He
thought he would not survive the at
tack from the first, and showed his
thorough knowledge of his condition.
On june 3D., Mr.. Bland grew worse, and
his sons, who were in school, were
summoned home, and for the first time
the public was informed of his critical
condition. From time to time since
then, the patient showed signs of inn
provement, but he continued to grow
weaker. On Sunday and Monday, he
presented an improved condition; and
on Monday afternoon, strong hopes for
his recovery were entertained. About
10 O'Clock on Tuesday night, however,
he fell asleep, and continued in that
condition until death.
The funeral will take place at
Lebanon at o'clock on Saturday
afternoon. Mr.. BANDS remains will
be placed in the Opera House tomor-
row, and will lie in state for "a hours.
The funeral services will he conducted

correspondents Told That They Would be
Killed, II They Sent Out Reports That the
Bakers Would Get a Far Trial.
Lexington, KY, June 15.-Return-
ing soldiers have disclosed the fact
that the Whites and the Towards ex-
ercised close censorship over the
news sent out from Manchester during
the stay of the troops. They told cor
respondents they would be killed if
they sent out reports that the Bakers
could get fair trial there. When
Tom Baker was shot, the correspond
ents were on their horses, ready to
leave. Thinking the Whites would
carry out their threats, they rode to
London as fast as their horses could
carry them, and sent a courier back to
Col. Williams for particulars. Having
learned that several couriers had been
searched on the road, the colonel hid
the message. in the clothing of the
man, and, when several of Whites fol-
lowers stopped and searched him few
miles from town, they found nothing.
Charles F.. Wooten, one of the
Towards victims, and who was badly
shot last year, was confined in jail,
and, when Tom Baker was killed, he
left his bed and staggered over to Col.
Williams for protection, saying the
Towards would finish him, if he re-
manned. Col. Williams gave him pro-
lection, and took him on his horse to
the home of friends several miles from
there

Henry j. Krebs of No. SOC Franklin
street, president of the Delaware
Chemical Co., south of Market street
bridge, met with painful, though not
serious, accident, yesterday week. while
experimenting with LIQUID ammonia.
The injuries consist of severe burns on
the face, eyes and stomach.
Mr.. Krebs was alone in one of the
buildings while making the test and
had tin can holding about a gallon
Of the liquid inserted in a bucket of
ice water and the gas pressure was
running into the can. He placed his
ear to the can to hear the pressure
being forced into the can, when il OK
ploded. The top of the can was torn
off in one piece and the sides were
blown open. Although the pressure of
gas did not exceed so pounds the can
was rent apart.
The flying acid covered the expert
lmenter, and people about the buildings.
hearing the explosion, rushed in and
discovered Mr.. Krebs suffering much
from the effects of the acid A physi-
clan was summoned and after the
wounds were dressed Mr.. krebs was
taken to his home, where he suffered
much from the burns to his eyes and
mouth.
Inquiry at the house Woodworking
ELECTED the information that the
patient was resting easy and could dis
tinguish light with one eye, but was
unable to see from the other. The in
luries will confine Mr.. Krebs to his
home for several weeks. The physician
believes the sight of both eyes will re-
turn, as he does not think enough Of
the acid entered them to permanently
destroy the sight.
Thirteen years ago Mr.. Krebs was
injured by an exploding cylinder while
experimenting with solution of am.
inonia He was badly hurt at thai
time but not SO seriously as the present
case.

An appeal frcm the clergy of South
London, which has Just been published,
discloses terrible state of affairs in
that little known district of the British
metropolis. 1t appears that whilo the
population of North London increases
at the rate OF 14,000 souls year, that
OF South London increases by %, 900,
or nearly at double the rate. Tho
present number Of the South London
population is about 9, 200, 600 and these
belong mostly to the working classes
and are mostly desperately poor.
Speaking of this district, Sir. Walter
Besant wrote not long ago. South
London now contains population Of
nearly 100000 1t is therefore one Of
the great cities of the world 1t stands
upon an area twelve miles long and five
or six broad. 1t is q city without q
municipality, without o centre, with
out q civic history. 1t has no uni
yersity. 1t has no colleges apart from
medicine. Its residents have no local
patriotism or enthusiasm. 1t has no
clubs. 1t has no public buildings. It
hos no West End"
The newly issued appeal says that
the over crowding of families, 10 one or
two rooms, is monstrous in its pro-
portions, and intellectually cruel in it's
results of disease and deaths, while the
terrible havoc wrought by drink, in
which the victims of existing condi-
tiops seek some alienation Of their
miseries, is inexpressibly awful and a
disgrace to both church and State. So
great is the bulk of distress that it
seems almost hopeless for individual
effort to make any attempt to cope
with it.. The population of single
parish is often from 1900 to 80, 600,
and the clergy are overwhelmed. Whole
armies of district visitors, teachers and
helpers are needed to make any i'm
preston upon the ignorance, the vice,
and the heathenism which seem to be
more prevalent there than in central
Africa.
