GAS PLANT BURNED.
0ire at Clayton Believed to be of
Incendiary Origin.

The gas plant of st. Joseph's Industrial
School at Clayton was destroyed by fire
On Saturday morning. 1t is thought that
the fire was the work of an inccndary.
The volunteer fire company hurried to
the scene with their hose carriage and
hook and ladder truck, but found on
arrival there that to make an effort to
save the burning structure would be
futile, SO they directed their efforts to-
wards saving the sisters house and a
large building containing the kitchen,
dining rooms and laundry, which are
only very short distance to the south of
the doomed one.
The building burned fiercely for over
two hours and as it stood nearly one
hundred feet in height presented beau
tiful scene. Finally, the flames ate their
way through the bottom of the two large
red cedar water tanks that were encased
on top of the building and the fifty
thousand gallons of water contained
therein ruched down on the flames like
a miniature water fall and put the
flames ont. leaving nothing standing but
the charred embers.
Before the firemen left for their homes
they pulled the structure down by means
Of ropes. and nothing remains now but
4 huge pile of burned wood and n demol-
shed gas plant, which occupied the lower
half Of the building. A new plant will
be erected as soon as possible.

EXCITING
BOAT RACE
Thousands Watch River Craft Con-
test for Championship.
BRANDYWINE A WINNER
Steamer Diamond State of the New
Line Passed on the Up Trip
Amid the Cheering of
Passengers.

Steamboat racing on the Delaware
River is to be an every day occurrence
Judging from present indications. Al
ready there have been several interesting
races. The sport promises to continue in
definitely.
Yesterday thousands of passengers
enjoyed good sport through the friendly
rivalry of the Wilmington Steamboat
Company and the Delaware River Navi-
CATION Company. Two races took place
during the day and both were won by tho
steamer Brandywine Of the Wilmington
Company. 1ne first race took place
when the early morning trip was made.
Soon after 7.15 o'clock the steamer DIAM
ond State of the Delaware River Com
pany left her wharf at the foot of King
street. At 7.30 o'clock the Brandywine
pulled out from Fourth street wharf. just
behind the Diamond State.
AT the mouth of the creek the Diamond
State led by about four lengths. The
Brandywine steamed carefully out of the
mouth of the creek than began to steam
up. At Marcus Hook she caught her
rival and passed her. Loud cheers arose
from those on the decks of the Brandy
wine whose enthusiasm had been arous-
I'd. Excited individuals rushed from the
deck to the engine room asking the en-
gineer to put on more steam. The vessel
kept her lead to Chester and also to
Philadelphia making landing several
minutes ahead of the Diamond State.
The second race was on the down river
trip in the afternoon at 1.30 o'clock. The
experience was about the same as in
the, morning race, the Brandywine leav-
maintained her lead all the way down.
A fine new llag fioated from the flag
staff on the Brandywine when she start

LONG TRIP OF
TAGGED BOY
Johnny Mertz's Visit to See His
Gettysburg Relatives.
MADE THE JOURNEY ALONE
Grandmother Was Not at the Station
to Meet Him SO He Walked
to the Farm and
Found Her.
MADE THE JOURNEY ALONE

Tagged like a package of merchan-
disc, from Wilmington to Gettysburg.
Pa, Travelled little Johnny Mertz, alone
but smiling and confident, and he almost
caused his grandmother to have Il
"spell" when he walked into the barn
on her small farm in the historic little
town in Pennsylvania.
Johnny is II son of Mr.. and Mrs. j..
Adam .lertz of No. 1404 West Third
street. He is six years old. Last week
his parents thought it would be nice If
he could spend sometime in visit to
his grandmother. Mrs. Mertzs mother,
at her home in Gettysburg. 1t was not
convenient for either Of the parents to
accompany Johnny, so they decided to
risk letting him make the trip alone.
So. Johnny was tagged like an express
bundle, his destination being marked in
plain letters ana the small bit of paper
hanging from the lapel of his coat. The
parents accompanied the child to the
railroad station and his mother wept as
she cautioned him to be very, very care
ful about changing ears at Baltimore,
then kissed him and bade him goodbye.
Johnny smiled and waved his hat MS the
train pulled out.
Arrangements had been made for some
one to meet the boy at Gettysburg hut
when the train arrived nobody was there
looking for him. He started out on Il
hunt for his grand-mothers house and
soon succeeded in finding it. But grand
mother was not there. Johnny went out
to the barn and there he found her. She
conld hardly believe her eyes for she
had not expected the hoy at that time.
But there was Johnny cheerful as when
he left home and eager for all the pleas
urc there is to be found on farm by II
small boy.
