ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE

New Castle, Dec. 13.-At the meet
ing of the New Castle hundred Road
Commissioners held last evening the
permit was signed for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company to erect the
bridge across the railroad tracks at
FaInhurst, The Company has fin.
ishcd the building of the abutments
and tho bridge Is expected to be in
position by Christmas. Owing to
the Company being unable toget the
iron at this season the Company will
put up . wooden bridge until March.
Road Commissioner Grier In speak.
ing Of the bridge said last evening
that the Company will! place a good
bridge there and that considerable Of
the grade will 10 removed. The ap.
. pl caches to the bridge will be built
Of crushed stone cove red with finer
grade. Farmers and others who use
the road will .tipd that the erection
Of the bridge with The improved ap.
proaclcs on each side and far beyond
the railroad property will make the
pulling at that point considerably
easier Than formerly. The teams
now use cut through field or Two
to get over the railroad tracks.
The general topic ik New Castle
at present is the use to which the
railroad Company wishes to put the
battery now that tho baseball fence
has been removed. Some people still
persist in keeping up the rumor that
the shops Of the Pusey and Jones
Company will remove fcre. The
reason for such a rpmor being that
some one said the railroad company
would need part of the ground on
which the pusey & Jones Company's
shops stand to take out a curve when
the elevated tracks are built. Then
the rumOr went OH to state that tie
battery would bc traded for the
ground in Wilmington despite the
denials Of the Pusey and Jones Com
pany. - ...

new KING ON THE THRONE
Ceremonies Incident to the Accession Of
the Prince Of Wales.
.MMENsR CROWDS dREEr HIM.
rhe King, In a Voice Broken With Emotion,
Makes His Speech, Pledging Himself to
Reign as a constitutional Sovereign for
the Good Of His People, Oath Administered
. by Lord Chancellor.

London (By Cable) king Edward
VII arrived here from Osborne and
proceeded to st. James Palace to take
the oath of accession. He wore
ield marshal's uniform and the ribbon
of the the Garter.
Preceded by half dozen mounted
policemen, the new sovereign was
driven to the palace in a plain broug-
ham, with the coachman and foot
man in their usual gray llver.es, but
having mourning bands on their arms.
The King was dressed in the deepest
and simplest mourning. He carefully
raised his hat in acknowledgment OF
the silent uncoverlng of heads, which
was more impressive than the most
enthusiastic cheers.
BY the time the King arrived at the
palace a great gathering Of Privy
Councillors, in levee dress, with crepe
On their left arms, had taken up posi-
lions in the throne rOOm-cablnet min
listers, peers, cOmmoners, bishops,
Judges, the Lord Mayor and others,
Lord Salisbury, Lord Rosebery, A. j.
Balfour, the Duke OF Devonshire, Lord
StrathcOna and Mount Royal, and
host of the prominent personage5 in
the land were there to receive the
Kings formal OATH binding him to
govern the kingdom according to It's
laws and customs, and hear him as
sumo the title OF King Edward VII.
Tue ceremony was Interesting and
according to precedent. The King was
in a separate apartment from the
Privy Councillors. To the latter the
Duke Of Devonshire, Lord President Of
the Council, formally communicated
the death of Queen Victoria and the
succession to the throne of her son. the
Prince Of Wales. The royal dukes,
with certain lords of the council, were
then directed to repair to the Kings
presence to acqualnt him with the
terms Of the Lord Presidents state
ment
Shortly afterward the King entered
the room in which the Councillors were
assembled and addressed them in a
brief speech. When ne began his
speech his voice was painfully broken
with emotion, but he recoYered as he
went ON.
The Lord Chancellor, Lord Halsbury,
then administered the oath of the
King Afterward the members of the
council, beginning with the lords In
council, took the oath Of allegiance and
passed in turn before ehe King as at
levee, except that each paused and
kissed his hand before passing out Of
he chamber.
This brought the ceremony to
close.

find that they can land troops in San
Francisco and pay their travelling eX-
penses across the continent for less
than they can bring them direct 20
Eastern points. Under the present
plan the department hopes to arrange
a schedule so that one transport may
leave Manila full every five days. Gen
eral Macarthur has added TO the PROD
lens before the War Department by
cabling that he cannot spare 5000 OF
the volunteers, which would reduce
the force to $4,000 men. Should he,
therefore, retain the 5000 until new

COMPARED TO WASHINGTON.
Bishop Potter Says Ylctorla's Character was
the Same.

New York (SpeclaD Bishop Potter
In an address at an annual special ser
vice for students at Calvary Church
said:
This morning, when on episcopal
business, | observed a bulletin in front
Of a newspaper office, saying that the
Queen was dying, and / asked myself
what was the meaning Of the world
wide sorrow manifested in that death
bed scene. She was not a woman Of
great intellect or Of great gifts. Yet
no human being who has lived in the
last SO years has exercised so enduring
or remarkable an influence on the
world as she.
Like Washington, II was her per-
,onality, the influence Of her character,
that achieved results. You read Of
Napoleon, the most brilliant figure OF
hislory, but you read with increasing
loathing OF a man SO cruel, so base, as
he. Ii Is, therefore, not great gifts
,hal make the character. 1t is what
5ne does, what one Is, that counts with
such a character as Washington or
Victoria To paraphyase the famous
words Of Nelson, tho Queen did her
iuty without faltering or failure
