moving about, and at such times she
has taken things to make her yomit,

Maiin's Grove in Darkness a short Time,
Owing to Trouble With the Boiler.
Owing to trouble with the boiler that
furnishes steam for the electric light
plant, carrousel and other machinery at
Malin's Grove, the park was in darkness
a short time about 10 O'Clock Sunday night
and the machinery was stopped. For.
tunately, nothing serious happened, but
there was much excitement.
For some unknown reason, probably
owing to the presence of salt or grease
therein, the water in the boiler began 10
foam and so operated that the pump
would not work and water could not be
forced into the boiler. Finally the fire
was raked from under the boiler and
there was no further trouble.

1t Is stated that the decision of Presi-
dent Simon Rurn of the Window Glass
Workers Association in relation to a
scale of wages may affect the local
organization known as the Christiana
Window Glass Co. The idea is to assist
the Window Glass Trust, in which the
Window Glass Workers Association is
interested to the extent of $4,000. The
claim is made that if organizations
such as the local plant are granted a
scale of wages it will be placing a club
in the hands of the antitrust people.
The local men will be ready to start
the plant about the middle of next
month. The employees are union men
and have an interest in the plant.

sible for him to produce more than So 500
cash, unless he disposed of some pros
pectively good investments. How much
will be realized out of these properties
is problematical. They may net him $50
600 or 100000, or they may net him moth

will require the expenditure of much more

that he did neteseend it, for nothing has
