OIL BUSINESS or THE PORT.

Probability That Extensive Improvements
VIII be Made at the Marcus Hook Ship
ping Station.
1t is reported that there is a proba-
bility Of extensive Improvements being
made in the near future at the oil ship
ping station at Marcus Hook, large
portion OF which is in the port Of Will
mington just what is to be done can
mt be ascertained, but the business
has already grown considerably of late
and the growth Ia healthy
Formerly all the great plant at Mar
Gus Hook was considered in Pennsyl-
vania and the business was transacted
through the office Of the collector of the
port OF Philadelphia, but during George
L. Townsend's term as collector Of the
port of Wilmington he made the dis
covery that large portion OF the plant
was on Delaware soil, some Of it being
500 feet south of the Pennsylvania line
He made thorough investigation and
upon being sure of the facts presented
the matter personally to the Secretary
of the Treasury and 80 days after that
official had received the data from Mr..
Townsend he ordered that portion of
the business in Delaware transferred
to the Wilmington Office and now the
oil shipping industry comprises large
portion of the business OF the port and
makes 1t fourth in the list of oil ship
ping stations in the United States A
large revenue for the government now
passes through the local Office, the bust
ness being more than double what it
was before the change was made
Mr.. Townsend had the co. operation
and assistance OF the Delaware mem
beers of Congress.

He Raised Political Sensation in Utah by
Appointing United States senator.
Dispatches to the morning papers
announce political SENSATION in Utah,
caused by the attempt of the President
Of the State Senate, Aquilla Nebeker,
to fill the senatorial vacancy in that
State caused by the failure Of the last
Legislature to elect, by appointing
Judge .. W. Powers, a Democrat.
Governor Wells and Secretary of State
Hammond were out Of the State at the
ii ne, and under the Constitution, Ne
beker, as President OF the Senate, be-
came acting governor.
The Democrats discovered Wednes-
day night they had the acting gov
ernor. Mr.. Nebeker consulted lawyer
and was told he had power to make
the appointment. He accordingly did
so. The State seal was looked up and
could not be obtained. but Nebeker' q
legal advisers maintained his action
was valid anyway. @lEi
Mr.. Nebeker is'1a prominent cattle
man, with the cowboys fondness for a
joke and does not view his meteoric
career as governor very seriously, but
his political opponents were seriously
alarmed until they learned that his
term ended shortly after noon yester-
day, when Governor Wells reached
Utah soil again. INN,
Acting Governor Nebeker is a Della
ware boy, son of Aqnilla NebekeI,
formerly well Unknown citizen Of Will
mington and now of Philadelphia.

Mr., Pierson sent copy of Every

Der 18th, after commenting thereon,
added: "There is nothing small about
Wilmington. 1t is such growing city

''It Is pleasing to note that the Tifiin

COLLECTOR OF THE PORTS TERM.

Under the Present Arrangement the
Incumbent is sontetines Placed In nm
Embarrassing Positinp.
The term of the collector of the port
Of Wilmington, under the present ar
rangement, sometimes places that Off
oial in an embarrassing position. as, OF
late years, the incumbent has not been
identified with the political party which
was In power during the, greater part
of his term.
Such was the case with Collector
George L. Townsend and such is now
the case with Collector William II.
Cooper. The former was appointed
toward the close Of President Harrison e
term for four years and the latter
toward the close of President Cleve
lands second term for the same period.
Consequently Mr.. Townsend served
under President Cleveland during the
greater part of his term and Mr.. Cooper
has been serving under President Nc.
Kinley ever since Mr.. Mckinley's in.
auguration on March 4th, 1897.
As a result of this condition some
Democratic aspilanys for office were
very anxious to find some way to gel
Mr.. Townsend's berth and the same
huS bc'b tup thpO NltH loSpoOJ W SOi-
lector Cooper, except that the people
who are after his place are, OF course.
Republicans. Notwithstanding this
condition Mr.. Townsend served three
months altar his term expired because
President Cleveland was not in hurry
to appoint his successor.
Collector Cooper's commission dates
from Decemb Y Gath 1896, and his tern
will expire On the 9th Of next Decem
ber. just when his successor will BIZ
appointed cannot be foretold. but it ha!
been suggested that should President
Mckinley he reelected ii might max,
u better adiustnen Of matters, so fa
as the cole tor being in sympathy
with the administration is concerned
to defer the appointment until aftel
the inauguration. 1t is quite proba
BILE, however, that should Mr.. Bryan
be elected President Mr.. Mckinley will
make the appointment before his tern
expires, as there are numerous aspir
ants for the office.

OF some members OF the COMMITTEES, was
called upon to come and show these
amateurs to play like real live actors.
In due time the blonde English looking

"No one but members OF the club were

woman who had never been asked to
take part. Well, the cast broke up as
completely beyond reparation as
Humpty Dumpty's historic egg. What
vas to be done? The leading lady was
the only one who remained. The com-
mittee decided to take part themselves.
They elected Mcintosh nm out Of town

play went on. The backsliding cast
came 10 the performance ina body,
minus those who had resigned. The
play was one OF the most successful
that the club had ever given, hut IL
never recovered from the blow given to
its fragile aristocratic walls. We're you
