WILMINGTON GAS TRANSFER

Today the transfer Of the stock Of
the Wilmington Coal Gas Company to
John and James Dobson, is being
made at the Wilmington and Brandy
wine Bank Something like sl,5000 900
is being paid for the concern. and the
price Of SIG per share Is undoubtedly
satisfactory. The par value was $50
per share, so ii appears that 1t has
proved 10 be a fine investment. Some
years since there was a prediction by
a wou.d-be purchaser that the company
would be forced to sell at $40 per share
or SAG less than it finally yielded.
IL is understood that there will be
many improvements made in the plant
and a better supply, and finer quail
ity of gas given to consumers The
people will welcome these improve
ments. and will wish for the success Of
the new proprietors. The deal is in
the nature of a permanent investment,
we understand. and there is no prob
ability of the plant being transferred
to other parties. We are informed THAT
the new proprietors viii, shortly issue
bonds for a large amount, and prob
ably much of the money obtained by
the sale will go into these. The trans
fer seems TO be satisfactory all round.

NEW POLICE RULE.
Order Growing Out of Circumstances
of Ayres Tragedy.

Maj Sylvester issued an order to the
police department yesterday respecting the
conduct Of officers in cases of suicide or
murder. The order reads as follows:
Hereafter. in all cases OF murder or sui
eide, where the subject is in such condition
as to be photographed without removal
from where the body is found, and IT is
free from the public gaze, you will have an
officer placed in charge with instructions
to keep the locality quarters clear of
all curiosity seekers until the coroner views
the same and a photograph OF the body and
location has been taken.
This Is not intended to interfere in any
way with an officer who has been directed
to make an investigation in a case from
taking such action as will aid him in dis
covering the perpetrator OF a crime or the
cause OF suicide"
The order was the result OF circumstances
attending the Kenmore Hotel tragedy
When the body of James S. Ayres was
found his room door was opened and guests
OF the hotel, as well outsiders, were per-
mitted to enter the room and disturb the
contents. The body of the victim ard some
of his effects were removed before the ar
rival of detectives from headquarters, and
the fact that a photograph showing the
exact condition OF things in the room was
not obtained is giving the prosecuting at
torney some trouble.

sergeant, in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
in the matter of pranks. There were
no better soldiers in the union army
than the boys of the Eightyfifth Illi-
nois, and none yielded more readily to
discipline or ripened more rapidly in
the rough school Of experience. But
the men of the Eighty-ffth we're, after
Stone river, Chickamauga, Kenesaw,
Peach Tree creek, Atlanta and the
march to the sea, as much given to
FRANKS as they were in their first
march in Kentucky in the summer of
1862. We arrived at Richmond, Va, on
the long march from the Carolinas
early in May, 1865. Our brigade was
made up of seasoned soldiers, if there
were any in the army, but they came
north in the belief that Gen. Halleck or
Secretary Stanton had put slight on
Gen. Sherman, and they were looking
for trouble.
''The march from North Carolina,
after the surrender of Johnston, had
been sort of picnic for the boys, but
discipline was as strict as it was in
front of Atlanta, and it was needed
when we came to Richmond. Halleck,
then in command of the department
of the James, directed that Sherman's
army pass in review before him as it
marched through Richmond. Sherman
forbade the review, and Halleck re-
fused to permit any of Sherman's men
to enter the city. Ex-confederates
and citizens came and went at will, but
when Sherman's men attempted to
visit the city they were met at the pom
toon bridge by provost guard and
turned back.
''Sherman's men resented all this,
and they were furious over the intima-
ton that they were kept out of the city
in the interests of good order, and be-
cause they could not be trusted. The
boys talked only among themselves.
and organized to carry out plan to
see the city. One day large crowd
of unarmed soldiers assembled at the
south end of the bridge, and at given
signal rushed upon the guards, push
ing many of them into the river and
overwhelming the others by sheer
weight of numbers. In short, Sher-
mans men, acting without orders and
without officers, seized the bridge
and held it while the boys went over
and looked about the fallen confed-
crate capital. So far as I know Hal
leck made no complaint of this ir-
regular proceeding, and Sherman did
not notice it.
"After the grand review at Wash
ington the Eighty-ffth Illinois, with
the other regiments of the brigade,
went into camp near the soldiers
home, and the men were permitted
to roam at will over the city. One
morning some of the boys discovered
soldier at Fort Slemmer walking up
and down in front of an officers tent
carrying log on his shoulder. One
of the boys was sent over to investi-
gate, and when he reported that the
soldier at the fort was carrying the
log as punishment for very trivial
offense the men decided to interfere
They went in force, but without
arms, over to the fort, took charge

ters, and jovially Informed the officer
in command that the punishment was

Kill the Germ

Falling hair is caused by dandruff, which
is germ disease The germ, in burrowing
in to the root of the hair, where it destroys
the vitality of the hair, causing the hair to
fall out, digs up the cuticle in little scales,
called dandruff or scurf You can't stop the
falling hair without curing the dandruff,
and you can t cure the dandrqtf without
cause, you remove the effect" Newbro's
Herpicide is the only hair preparation that
kills the dandruf germ. Herpicide is also
a delightful hair dressing.
