row. Desiring. however, that the con-
tractors for the new buildings should
inspect the work done before he left,
he wired to Chicago requesting a rep
Iresentative of the firm Of Solitt & Sol
lit to come on. In reply he received
word that Summer Sollitt and Frank G.
Jobson. the architect, would arrive on
him. Mr.. Budge's successor, John M.
Cannon, has had practical charge of
the works for the past week.

delayed considerably for the past few
days by the failure of the frame work
to arrive. This applies especially to the
upholstering shop and Office. Patrick
Quinn, foreman bricklayer, has had
the brick work for these buildings
erected to a proper height to set frames
for the past week, but was compelled
to knock of on account Of their non
IaITiyal
A carload Of frames arrived this
morning, but as the stone sills are not
yet here. nothing can be done until
they are delivered.

the work on the foundations for the
dry kiln. located in the southern ex-
tremity Of the yards. Piles are being
driven rapidly for the new powerhouse

NUNKEN BOILER
TO BB RAISED
Work Begun by Captain
Williams, Of Chester.
Bodies Recovered

Captain J. ]. Williams, Of Chester. be-
gan this morning the work of raising the
sunken boiler OF the Inflated City OF
Trenton, which blew up ON Wednesday.
Captain Horace Wilson, manager OF
the Wilmington Steamboat Company
yesterday arranged with, Captain vii
liams to undertake the work. He is we'll
known in Wilmington, having done many
jobs for the Water Department.
There has been some question as 10
whether the government or the company
should raise the boiler. but this was not
taken into consideration by Captain VIII
son. He said last night that he did NOT
wait to learn who should bear the ex-
pense, as, having nothing TO conceal, he
wanted TO find out the condition Of the
boiler as soon as possible. Chief Engi-
neer Murphy and Captain Wilson held a
consultation with J. II. Lewis. attorney
for the company, in Philadelphia yester-
day.
Chief Engineer Murphy, acting under
instructions Of Mr. Lewis, refuses Ia
make any statement as TO the explosion.
The Trenton was taken from the mud
yesterday afternoon and towed TO Neafie
and Levy's shipyard for rebuilding.
TWO BODIES RECOVERED
Eleven dead, twenty missing and prob
ably dead, and ten seriously injured is the
record up to date Of the City Of Trenton
disaster.
Two more bodies were found yesterday.
One, multilated and unrecOgnizaDle
found in the wreck near the engine room.
is thought to be that Of Assistant En-
gineer John Chew. The other, found at
the mouth of the Trenton creek, a mile
away, may turn out TO be that of Harry
w. johnson, young merchant Of Hulme-
vile, Bucks county, Pa.
The work of investigation is being
pressed both by Federal and local au-
thorities Of Philadelphia. 1t rests now
with the boiler lying in thirty-three feet
Of water off the Hen and Chickens Reef
to show whether the explosion was due
to the carelessness Of some one in the en-
gine room. If the crown plates of the
boiler are found to be split or broken it
will show conelusively that the water
was allowed to get too low and cold water
was injected upon the red-hot metal with
out proper precaution.
