LAYING OFF MEN.
Work Dull With the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company.
About Forty Machinists Have Been
Discharged in About a
Week.

As wds expected another large force
OF machinists were laid off at the Har-
Ian g. Holingsworth Company on Sat
urday afternoon. Last Tuesday the ma
chine shop was stopped running nights
and on that date seventeen machinistS
We're laid off. 1t was well-known that
there was but little work in the shop,
with no new work coming in and there
fore it was no surprise when about twen-
ty-four more were laid off on Saturday.
Ii IN especially noticeable, however,
that no machinists but those who were
out on a strike are being laid off. Men
who have been employed the last two
or three months are still working, while
many who have worked for the COM
pany for years are among those who
were laid off last week.
The machine shop is not the only de.
partment at the Harlan & Hollingswortl
Company where men are being laid of
on account of lack of work. Many in
the car shop. boat yard and other de.
partments have been laid off during the
last week. The Company is NOT only
short Of work at present, but what looks
still moro discouraging is the fact that
no new work is being contracted for. 1tis
Iexpected that many more employees IL
the machine shop and other departments
will he laid off in few days. Many
Of the machinsts will look for worl
outside OF the city.

Mrs. NJ. Il. Lincoln presented the re-

tions was n legacy from Mrs. w. q.
Spruance of 500.
The treasurer's report showed disburse-
ments OF about $465 ana balance OF
$272.

and pointed out that all should have
faith in il because Of these qualities. and
that it reaches the heart as does no
other book.
REFORMATION DAY.
At st. Stephens Luthern Church yes
tcrday the Feast of the Reformation was
observed in festal manner. The church
was beautifully decorated with chrysan-
thcmums and palms. A picture OF Lil-
ther adorned the wall back of the pulpit.
The decorations were in crimson and
gold.
At the morning service the pastor, the
Rev. Frederick Doerr, preached the re-
formation sermon. Ills text was from
Revelations 14th chapter and 7th verse
Fear God and give glory to Him. Mr.
Doerr said that Luther, fearless as ne
was, nevertheless feared God and Luth
Grams though they honor Luther, give
no glory to him but to God. In the
afternoon the Home Mission festival ser
vice was held.
Last night there was special musl

fixing the sheriff's salary at $4,000 year
to take effect at the time he delivers the
prisoners to the trustees of the work
house. The act further provides "That
all fees which are now by law taxable
and payable to the sheriff of New Cas-
tie county for his own use shall continue
aS heretofore. but the same shall be col
lected by the said sheriff and paid into
the hands of the county treasurer OF
New Castle county"
Lawyers are much interested in the
question and it is the subject of con-
siderable discussion. Some believe Sher-
that the courts will rule that the prison
crs must he given over to the work
house trustees.
MUAIUlpAL COURT COMMIT
MENTS.
Another phase of the question that
seems not to have been considered by
those interested in the matter concerns
the Municipal Court. This is as. to
where Judge Churchman will cimmit the
lprisoners coming under his jurisdiction.
Prisoners committed in Munlcipal
Court are sent to Jail i'll default OF pay
'ment of the fine imposed and there Is
no specification in the law as to where
jthay shall be sent. Thus Judge Church
man may use his own discretion abodt
commitments. and now that the work
house is finished the opinion is expressed
that he will send the prisoners he sen
tences to the workhousc.
Judge Churchman was out of the city
last night and consequently could not
he seen regarding the matter. What po-
sition he will take, however, may be
known today when the arrangements
nrp made in City Court. The belief was
expressed yesterday that as the work
house officers are to go on duty tnis
