AN INTERESTING RELIC,

Some time ago Peter J. Hauehey dis
covered in the prothonotary's office at
the Court House AN old and faded
photograph. 1t represented group Of
10 men, prisoners at Fort Delaware.
The group had been photographed in a
bastion of the fort, and each man bore
the number of his relative position in
the grouping.
Mr.. Haughey is a skilful photog-
rapher, and he obtained permission to
take the old photograph away and try
his hand at copying it. By carefully
retouching it he got it into such share
that his copies were very successful.
The names of the group, which we're
on the original picture, and all but two
of which could be deciphered, showed
that it comprised some personages who
in their time became distinguished.
No. is Gen. Zebulon B. Varce, after
wards governor of North Carolina and
United States Senator from that State.
No. II is the famous Gen. JEFF. Thorn o.
son; No. IA, Col. Basil Duke, noted
cavalry leader; No. s is the Rev. I. M.
Handy. The name of M. is illegible,
and No. 8 is young orderly, name not
given. The others are: Lieut.. W. W.
Bregas, Col. PrIckett, Lieut.. George,
Capt. Gibson, Col. Q, E. Clenaird, Col.
r. E. Morgan, W. W. Ward, Capt u.
w. Morgan and Lieut.. Tomlinson.
All these men we're of the Confederate
army, and were captured during the
Civil War and confined at FoIt Della
ware.

hausted.
Policemen Serson and Hancock saw
the men and started after them, intend
ing to place them under arrest on the
charge OF reckless driving. As soon as
the soldiers realized that the officers
were after them they started back as
fast as they could go toward Delaware

unable to overtake the men, but they
were arrested in New Castle by Police

SUSQUEHANNA POWER PLANT.
surveys Completed for the Proposed Elec

surveys Completed for the Proposed Eiec-
trio Station on the River.
A dispatch from Baltimore, Nd,
says: Surveys have been completed for
the great water power electric works in
the Susquehanna River, near Como
wingo, Md. The works will be of the
magnitude Of those at Niagara, and IL
IL expected to furnish electrical power
to Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more. The first station to be erected
| will contain waterwheel and dynamo
capacity for 500, 900 electrical horse
power.
Gov. Smith has signed the bill passed
by the Legislature enlarging the powers
of the Susquehanua Co., of which j.
W. Marsh OF Pittsburg is the president.
The United Railways OF this city are
Interested and will uso the power. The
bill passed by the Legislature authoriz-
ing Baltimore City to issue 81, $50, coo
for the establishment of municipal
lighting plant, enables The city to make
| deal with the Susquehanna Co., the
latter to furnish power at price not
exceeding the cost Of the coal that
would be consumed in running steam
generating plant.
Philadelphia is % miles further from
the river than Baltimore, yet it is said
that the demand for power for manu-
featuring and other purposes in Phila-
delphia is SO much greater as to. justify
the building Of transmission lines east
ward from the river to that city, as
well as westward to Baltimore. New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore CAPT.
talists are Interested in the project. II
is proposed to have the works in opera
tion within 10 months.
The Susquehanna watershed, draining
an area of 10000 square miles in the
State of Pennsylvania and New York,
has the largest drainage area eass Of
the Mississippi except the st. Lawrence
River. The minimum flow during the
low water beriod of 1895 was at Como
wingo about $500 cubic feet of water o
second. The dam TO be constructed
across the river will cost 5000, 900.
