Cannot Trust state Courts.

New York, Dec. 15,--Appllcatlon on
behalf Of seven stockholders Of the
Anglo American Savings & Loan assoc
citation, has been made to Judge La
combe In the United States circuit
court for the appointment OF a receiver.
The argument OF the attorney was
based chiefly on the question Of iuris-
dlction. He said that the United States
court should take charge Of the case.
We cannot trust the State courts,
said the attorney, nor the attorney
general. The state superintendent OF
banking has allowed these people to
file reports which covered up transac-
lions In real estate out OF which they
must have made a great deal OF
money"
The attorney for certain other stock
holders argued that the matter was
without the jurisdiction Of the United
States courts, lie called the attention
Of the court 10 the fact that Justice
Maddox had appointed two directors
for the property In this State. This
seemed 10 be news 10 Judge LaCombe
and he remarked that he had not
known that the State courts had taken
any action In the matter He took the
papers and reserved his decision.

Search Lights at Fires.

An electric search light, mounted up- on a wagon resembling in general ap- pearance. an ordinary fire engine, is to be added 10 the equipment of the New York city fire department. An engine and dynamo, carired by the wagon, supply two lights, each having an 1s- inch lens. The light can be either con- centrated on a particular point, or spread over wide area, and if neces- sary the lamps can be carried to dis tance from the wagon, the electric con- nection being maintained with insu- lated cables. The object of the search light engine is both to illuminate dark streets and corners where the firemen have to place their hose and to throw light into windows and upon roofs where people are to be rescued from the flames and smoke.-Youth's Compan- inn

LOSS OF LIFE AT SEA.
erabIY Lower Than for Pre-. viOus Year.

The annual report of the supervising inspector general of steamboats, which has just been made public in the form of an abstract, contains highly inter- esting exhibit of the numbers of lives lost at sea from American vessels dur ing the last calendar year, together with other important correlated infor- nation. It appears from this document that the total number of persons drowned, or who came to their death in other ways, was 404, which is consid- erable increase over the previous year, when the aggregate of fatalities was 123 less. This increase was due to the laundering of the steamer Portland off the Massachusetts coast during the great gale on the night of November g, 1898. Every one of the 127 persons on board perished.
 Of the total of 404 SC fatalities were chargeable to accidental drowning, 213 persons went down with wrecks, 13 succumbed to fires, 51 were killed in collisions, 24 were the victims of ex- plosions or of accidental escape of olNdAAs dAAn III Of SoSCS causes were reported.
 The chapter on destruction of vessel property shows that 4S vessels met with accidents, seven had fires, 13 were in collision, eight experienced breaking of steam pipes, two had explosions and Is encountered snags and wrecks or developed leaks. As the duty Of the supervising inspector generals office is to ascertain whether steam vessels have complied with all the safety require ments in the matter of live-saving appli- ances and relative to the condition of boilers the report may be considered a favorable exhibit. The destruction of the Portland waS,not due to laxness on the part of inspectors, but to the reck- lessness of her captain, who insisted on putting out to sea in the teeth of fierce storm.
 Except for this disaster, the loss of life would have been comparatively small. Only two vessels were damaged by eXplosions-an excellent record con- sidering the extent of steam water trafic.-BaItimore Herald.

Hundred names in Delaware are in" terestirg and significant Many hun dreds are named for their bounding creeks, as Mill Creek, White Clay Creek, Duck Creek, North West Fork, Murderkill.
 This last is merely the corrupted form of Dutch name, meaning mother stream, but legend has been invented to explain the name in it's corrupted English form--a legend to the effect that white settlers on the creek per suaded a number of Indians to get in line in front of a cannon and then touched it off, with the result that much savage blood was shed, and the water of the creek was reddened.
 Some hundreds are named from old post road taverns, about which vil- lages grew up, as Red Lion, Black Bird and probably St. Georges. Most Of the hundreds have English names. One, however, has a Swedish name, Christiann, in honor of the Swedish queen who ruled when the Swedes es- tablished their first settlement in Dela- ware, in 1636. At least one is Indian, Aphoquinnimink. One or two are Dutch; one, Rehoboth, is Hebrew, though the accent has been improperly shifted from the first to the second syllable, and one is Welsh.
 This last is the hundred of Pencader, more accurately, Pencade, the name meaning "the great hill," was given to the region by Welsh settlers who came in the first decade of the Eighteenth century and established themselves within thc shadow of Iron Hill, which they naturally enough called Pen codor, as it is the most notable emi- hence within sight.
 Several of the hundreds of Delaware have well recognized social peculiari- ties, inherited from the settlers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
 The lands in Pencader hundred are still occupied in considerable part by persons bearing Welsh names. Chris tiana hundred and its neighbor, Will mington, still contain many descend ants of the original Swedish settlers.- Philadelphia Press.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
List of Specifications as Given in R New Law Just in Effect
 in Russia.

A Russian law, which went into effect January l last, declares the following list of weights and measures: The basis of Russian weights is the pound, which is practically of the same value as the English pound.
 The basis of the Russian long meas ure is an arshine, equal to 2S English inches.
 The fundamental measure of time Is "sutki'' (day and night), consisting of 24 hours, according to the average time of the sun. An hour contains GO minutes; a minute. 60 seconds. The hours are counted in St. Petersburg according to data of the Nicolas Prin- cipal observatory at Pulkova; in other localities, according to their geograph- ical longitude.
 For measuring surfaces square meas ures are used. For measuring inc sur face of land the dessiatine (two and a fraction acres) is equal to 2,4O0 square sagnes.
 Cubic long measures serve for meas uring the volume of bodies.
 For measuring the volume of dry substances, chetverts (about five bush els) are used.
 For measuring the volume of liquids the vedro (about two gallons) and it's subdivisions are used.
 The international meter and kilo- gram and their subdivisions may be used ia the empire in bargains, con tracts, estimates, etc., on the mutual consent of the parties interested.-De- troit Free Press.
