Over 100000

After negotiations, which have been
pending for many months, the Jack
son and Sharp Company has sold its
plant 10 the American Car and Foundry
Company, of st. Louis, Mo.
For some time the st. Louis company
has been looking for an Eastern outlet
for its work, and, owing to the im-
mense business being done by the
Jackson and Sharp Company, decided
10 purchase the plant. Mr.. Doyle, a
representative of the Western firm
who has been in the city fer several
days representing the interest of the
company. assumed charge of the local
plant this morning.
NO CHANGES To BE MADE.
Although the company has been pur-
chased by another syndicate, there will
be no change made in the force of en-
ployes, at least fer some time. The
Jackson and Sharp Company has on
hand a contract for building a number
of cars for the Pennsylvania railroad
the cost of which will be over $500 900
1t also is said that the company has
contracts for the building of several
vessels.
The price paid for the plant is about
81 500 900. Work will continue as usual
although it is expected that much busi.
ness that Is now being done in the

WHY THE APPOINTMENT OF
COLLECTOR Is HELD Up

A Washington dispatch to the Philadel-
phia Press to-day says:
Washington. May. S.-There IS no foun-
dation for the rumor that the Custom
House, at Wilmington, Del, is to be
closed and that State made a part of
Philadelphia district. Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Spaulding, who has
charge OF the custom branch Of the ser
vice, said there had been no mention Of
any consolidation. In any event the dis
trict cannot be abolished except by act
OF Congress, which defines the limits of
customs and revenue districts.
The status regarding the eollectorship
at Wilmington is as unsatisfactory as
that pertaining to nearly all Federal po-
sitions in the State Addicks and his peo-
pie are trying to control the appointment
and as a result the Democrat incumbent
continues in office. The announcement
some time ago which came from Addicks
sources that the administration would
hereafter acknowledge that faction was
without warrant. as the situation at
Wilmington proves. The appointment has
been held up in hope Of harmony, but the
Addicks people seem determined to OBJ
ject to anyone not of their faction.

Provisions Arriving From All Sections
Being Systematically Distributed
by Relief Committee

jacksonville, Fla, May S.-The al
most superhuman work of the different
committees has somewhat relieved the
situation, and it is now believed that
in every instance those without proper
food and clothing were in a measure
provided for yesterday and that last
night there was vastly fewer people
VINO were compelled to sleep upon the
streets. Two hundred tents We're erect
ed yesterday, and while they were very
crowded last night, and while several
churches and schoolhouses in the sub
urbs also were crowded with sleepers,
this condition also will be relieved to-
day by the arrival of 1000 tents from
the general government at Washing
ton, which Chairman Bours. Of the
housing committee, will have erected
at once.
Before tonight there will be several
tented villages in the city with cots
and blankets, and a water supply in al
most every village for the sufferers.
Today there also were provided sew
eral extra commissary stations in vari-
GUS parts of the city to relieve the sit
uation at the two already established
and there is one in each village of
tents.
Thousands of people have left the
city. Those remaining will be able to
receive some kind of labor at the bu-
reaus which have been established.
The clearing up of the streets has
been going on rapidly, telephone con.
nections with the unchanged part o
the city has been resumed in almos
every district, and the wires which en-
numbered the streets are now cleareC
away.
The street car service has been run
ming in the western part of the city
but there is no service in the north o
east.
All the relief committees are nov
located near the center Of the city II

has at last reached a basis of work tina
