HEALTH ORDINANCE VIOLATED
ENTRANCE TO BRANDYWlNE
PARK A DUMP FOR GARBAGE.

Through gross and reckless violation
and disregard of the health ordinances
of the city. foundation for an epidemic
of fever is laid in that section Of Will
mington known as Happy Valley"
An excavation in a lot at Wawaset
and jackson streets is used as a dump
ing place for rubbish and garbage. Al
though the hole is within a few feet
OF occupied dwellings, Ii receives not
only the garbage from kitchens, but Is
the depository for refuse from Della
ware Hospital and Wilmington and
Brandywine Cemetery.
On Saturday a pine coffin case which
bore unmistakable marks of having
been removed recently from a grave
was thrown into the pest hole. The
lid of the box was intact and without
doubt belonged 10 a coffin receptacle

cemetery, for along with IL were sew

left frequently upon graves.
Children have also found false teeth
and bones in the pit after the cemetery
rubbish has been dumped there. The
neighbors say this is a menace to their
health. Yesterday someone added to
the nuisance by throwing a painful Of
spoiled fish on the already fermenting
heap.
1t was bad enough last Fall when
the dead leaves were removed from
Brandywine Park and deposited in the
hole to decompose. but now it has
passed endurance and the people will
make a protest.
Several complaints are alleged to

Health but no apparent effoi1 has been
made by that department to abate the
nuisance.
This week a petition will be pre-
sented TO Mayor Fahey or to the CITY
Council requesting them to impress
upon the Board OF Health the impor-
lance of taking immediate action.
At present the hole Is a disease
breeder of the worst kind, It is said,
and IL is contended that the garbage
should be removed to the crematory
before the hot weather makes IL even
more prejudicial to the neighbOrs.
If the Board Of Health fails to take
action as a sanitary measure, the Park
Commission will be requested to take
The matter up. for the garbage heap IS

MYSTERY SOLVED AT LAST
BODY OF JAMES L. MCKINNEY
DISCOVERED:
FOUND IN THE CHRIsTIANA
RIVER YESTERDAY MORNING AT
THE WHARF OF GEORGE W.
BUSH AND SONS.

With the discovery yesterday morn
ing OF the body Of James l.. Mchin-
ney, who disappeared from his home
on January q last, the mystery OF his
strange disappearance has been cleared
up.
About $50 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing a telephone message was received
at the police station from Officer 81
mon Moran to the effect that he had
been notified by George b. Bayley,
watchman at the p. w. & B. Railroad
Company's cutoff bridge that the
body of a drowned man was lying in
the Christiana river near the bridge.
Police Captain George Black at once
notified Coroner Alfred ID. Vandever
and Deputy Coroner Giles of the fact,
and together they proceeded TO the
place and Captain Black at once idenu-
fed the body, although it was badly
|decOmposed as that of James /. Nc
Kinney, whom he knew we'll.
The corpse was taken from the water
and conveyed to the morgue by Deputy
Coroner Giles, and Mcl<inney's rela-
tives notified.
The body was first seen by David
r. Wyatt. who is employed on one of
the Darges Of the Charles Warner Com
pany. who noticed it as it washed into
the dock at the wharf of the George
w. Bush and Sons Lumber Company.
Captain Wyatt secured the corpse and
towing it to the cutoff bridge, made
it fast.
There was no evidence Of foul play
to be found upon the body and the
theory is that Mckinney accidentally
walked overheard. In his clothing was
found S2.6S in money. In his overcoat
pocket was found his watch while the
chain was found in one of his panta-
loon pockets. A Philadelphia Record
of January p was also found in his
pocket. The timepiece had stopped al
sos O'Clock, and this is believed to be
the time at which Mckinney fell into
the water.
Coroner Vandever does not believe
in the suicide theory, as McKinney's
home relations were pleasant, but h,
will make a thorough Investigation O.
the case and an inquest will be helC
on Wednesday night.
i Mckinney was machinist, employ
ed by the Pusey and Jones Company
and resided with his family, at No. 1SO'
i West Sixteenth street. He was las
seen alive on the morning OF Sunday
January 21, having arranged on tina
day to go to Rushley station in com
: pany with George Croft to inspect
farm which he OMcKinney) owned
near there, and which GrOff thought o
e renting Croft failed 10 meet McKin
= ney at the p, w. & b. railroad sta
ton, however, as he had promised tn
b day before, and after waiting for som
time Mckinney left and that was tn
1 last ever seen of him alive
Croft, who is employed on one Of tn
5 barges Of the Charles Warner Com
pany, left town ON a trip a few day
later, and did not return until Apr
10. He was then questioned by Nc
Kinneys relatives and by the police
but could throw no light on the miss
ing mans whereabouts.
/, The deceased man leaves a wife an
= four children. Since his Disappearance
: the family moved to No $40 Scot
street, and from that residence the fl
neral took place at 2 o'clock this al
4 ternoon. Only near friends and rels

DECISIVE BATTLE
NOW MAY Be ON
General Rumble it is Believed,
Has Engaged With the
Beers.
ADVANCE ON BLoEMFONTEIN

REPORTS AS TO PREPARATIONS.
DEATH OF GEN. DE WET RE
PORTED.
London, April 2S.-It Is quite prob
able that by this time Gen Sir Henry
Rumble has fought decisive battle
with the Beers. He entrenched him
self Saturday to await the arrival of
Gen. Campbell with the Sixteenth bri-
gade That commander arrived Sat
urday evening and news may there
fore be expected at any moment.
Il is still impossible TO ascertain the
position of affairs at Bloemfontein or
to learn when the long-expected ad-
vance northward will begin. The dis
patches conflict regarding the state OF
the preparations. For instance. the
Bloemfontein correspondent of The
Daily Chronicle says that the troops
have been supplied with winter cloth
ing and that the Modder river has
fallen sufficiently to permit cavalry to
cross. The Standards representative
says almost the exact opposite. Pres
ent indications, however, point to still
further delay.
Without attaching undue Importance
to the stories from Lourenzo Marques
concerning the strength of the Boer
forces II would almost seem that the
former estimates of 10000 were rather
low.
During the last few days there has
been a renewal Of Boer activity in all
parts of the theater of war. The ten
acity of the enemy around Col. Dalgety
proves that considerable forces are
still there Lord Roberts has ordered
Lord Methuen to retire from Boshof
probably for the same reason. The
I pretense Of a BOer force at Frankfort
looks like an intention to endeavor 10
/ cut off Methuen, who may next be
heard of as retiring upon Kimberley
The Beers are said to half enclrcle
i Bloemfontein to the eastward, in a
crescent formation. There have beer
several outpost affairs in that vicinity
i The Eleventh division, under Gen
Pole Carew and the Fourth cavalrl
brigade are operating toward Sannal
post In Natal there is no diminutiol
OF Boer activity.
Il is reported that Sir Charles War
4 rem is to be appointed governor Of thl
Free State Nothing is known re-
garding Sir Redvers Butler. but there
} is little doubt regarding his removal
and rumor has IL that Lord Kitchener
will get an important Independent
command.
The Boer peace commissioners arr
understood TO have been disappointed
by their visit to the Hague, but TO bl
determined to visit Berlin and Paris
before going TO Washington.
