The weakness Of the Sussex county
Jail, from which eight prisoners made
their escape Monday morning, should
impress the people of that county with
the necessity of making the New
Castle County Workhouse State
institution. They will be called upon
to either build new jail or send their
sentenced prisoners to the workhouse
The latter plan would be more effective,
and certainly much cheaper to the
people of Sussex county than the
erection Of a new Jail.

over 100000. 400 Gold in tho rrea.ur

Over &5O0,0OO,OOO Gold In the Treasury.
A Washington special says that the
stock Of gold in the treasury has crossed
the 100000, 600 mark, and is STEADILY
rising. This is the largest stock of
gold ever held by the treasury, and the
iact that little more than one-half OF
it ia the property of the government
does not lessen the Importance and
Significance Of the total holding. The
actual amount held in gold coin and
gold bullion at the close Of business
today was $500, 27s, SOC. or this amount
1888, 679, $50 is held in the trust fund
for the redemption of outstanding gold
certificates, $3.50, 600, 900 in the reserve
fund for the redemption of greenbacks,
and $3.50. $685. l7 is in the general fund,
subject 10 current demands. 10 add.
tion to this aggregate, there is in the
general fund nearly 1872, 900, 900 In gold
certificates. The total available cash
is IN round numbers 1858, 600, 900, of
which GA per cent Is gold.
Since July LIST, the beginning OF the
current fiscal year, the treasury gained
in GOLD $40, 600, 90, and, notwithstand.

penditures of s21,0Oo,0O since that
date, compared with the corresponding
period of last year, the available cash
is only sl,00o,000 below the figure, on
July 1st.
An idea Of the volume Of increase in
the gold holding during the past FIVE
years WILL be appreciated by comparing
the figures of today with those OF
January, 1896. AT that time the ag-

The Safety Of washington street Brldg,

The Safety of Washington street Bridge
According to the report of bridge
expert, presented to the Levy Court
Tuesday afternoon, the bridge over
the Brandywine at Washington street,
in its present condition, is not strong
enough to warrant the running of
trolley cars over it. In this event, the
only thing for the Levy Court to do is
to keen the trolley cars off until the
bridge is strong enough to convey
them without the slightest fear of
danger.
The possibilities Of an accident
caused by the bridge giving way and
precilitating carload OF people uron
the rocky bed of the Brandywine,
nearly hundred feet below, are too
awful to contemplate. To allow the
slightest loophoe for such a calamity
would be criminal carelessnees OF the
grossest character. No cars until the
bridge is absolutely secure, therefore,
should DO the resolve OF the Levy Court.
And even if the trolley cars are not
permitted to cross the bridge the Levy
Court should still give careful heed to
the strength and permanence of the
structure. 1t should be made abso-
lutely safe for public travel. 1t is
used by large number of pedestrians
and hundreds of vehicles are driven
across it daily. 1t is said that the
crossing OF heavy teams makes the
structure tremble. OF course, tho
bridge will yibrate to q certain extent
lit would not be safe il it did not
but now that the question has been
raised, thorough examination should
be made 10y experts, aud everything
possible dono to make the structure
absolutely safe.
1t is very desirable that the trolley
oars cross Washington street bridge. 1t
leads to beautiful section OF the city,
which is being rapidly peopled. Trolley
communication is necessary to properly
develop this section, and commune
cation can best be secured by way
OF this bridge, But, first, the
bridge must be made secure. We want
not the slightest probability of a
calamity occurring through the break
ing of the bridge while carload of
people is being hurried across it.
