Of Health

Study Of the records of the Trustees
of the Poor OF New Castle county
how that pauperism in this county isl
on tha decrease. At this time last
year there were 2O9 men. women and
children in the Farnhurst hospital as
wards of the county. According TO
the monthly report CT superintendent
David Mccoy, submitted at the meet
ing OF the trustees dis morning, there
are but 1876 persons in ule building.
Other reports show that for the quar-
ter ending October 81, 1900, l2l in
mates were admitted, as compared wiNh
1903 for uha quarter just ended. This
materia, decrease in the population OF
the county building is gratifying to the
trustees, causing as it does, cowe-
spending decrease in the cost of con-
ducting the institution.
The attendance at the quarterly meet
ing OF the trustees held This morning
was large. In addition to reporting on
the subject of hospital population, SUI
perintendent Mccoy presented the
monthly payroll, amounting to S422l7
This is not one cent in excess OF the
figures for the corresponding month ol
last year. This is another gratifying

CITY FIREMRN
Much INTERESTED
Proposed New Ordinance Is
Widely Discussed by
Them

Members of the Wilmington Fire De
partment are much interested in the
new ordinance which will be introduced
shortly by Joseph Il. McCaiferty. chair
man OF the Fire Committee of City
Council, before that body, providing
that when an engine is sent away from
the city for repairs the company TO
which it belongs must obtain another
steamer to replace it during its absence.
Opinion is divided on the subject, and
when the ordinance is introduced, It IS
nrobable that a number of fremen viii
appear before Council and present argu-
ments pro and con regarding ITS passage:
The principal objection to the proposed
measure seems to be that it will provide
fbot fire companies' must obtain another
engine when theirs are being repaired.
This is claimed to be unjust, inasmuch
as il is said that steamers which need
repairs can rarely be put in proper con-
dillon i'm Wilmington. and must be sent
] to the shops where they were construct
| ed. 1t is claimed that in many instances
! it is impossble TO have another engine
sent in its place. ms the firms who build
fire apuaratus supply a number of cities,
and cannot afford to keep engines ON
hand TO replace those that are sent 10
them for repairing.
Another point that will be made by the
6remen is that time clause must be IN
| serted in the proposed measure AhVs
claim, that il would not he just to the de
lpartment to require the companies to OBJ
tain another engine if their own steamer
was to remain away for bur a week OF
fen dovs The expense of shipment
would be too great, providing that an en-
gine could be procured at once. If J
should take several months 10 re
pair the apparatus, the men e'''ii. l.
That there might be reason II
recurring companies to substitute
another engine.
Many OF the firemen are also Of IN
(, opinion that the city should be required
, to provide another steamer, which wou'
be used by any company IN case its en-
gine was away. No horses would %
( needed. and beyond the first cost OF pur
chasing. the expense would be little;
& In speaking on the subject Mr.. NC
.tCafferty says that although the ornilai';'
has not been framed. it is the intention
of the committee TO act as fairy 2
possible to all parties concerned. II
= not its intention 10 impose hardshlps ol
E the city or fire companies.

Although not resembling Sweet An

.colored. apparently has one trait OF the
young woman made famous in song, in
asmuch as she has passed away"
Mrs Stewart is the wife OF Robert c.
Stewart, who recently was sentenced in
City Court TO be lashed for beating his
spouse. Through the efforts of Former
Judge J. Frank Ball, the case was re
opened in order to introduce evidence
in behalf OF the defendant The time
OF hearing the case was set for yester-
day. but owing 30 the inability OF the
prosecution to bring forward the
woman to testify against her husband,
the case was carried over until today.
When Stewart's name was called this
morning he put in an appearance ready
for trial. Acting Assistant City Solici-
tor Phillip L. Garrett, however, asked
that the case be continued for one
month. owing to the fact that no SER
vice could be had upon Mrs. Stewart.
Judge Churchman objected to such n
long continuance, but consented
to carry the case over for two weeks. 1t
has been learned that the woman pack
led up her belongings. collected what
wages were due her at the place she
worked and suddenly departed for New

will be the end Of the case. as il is not
