CITY'S BURIAL LOT.

Request Made That it be Turned Over to
the Home for Aged Women.
Many years ago, when the old Eliza
beth Street Cemetery was abandoned
and streets cut through it, there were
a number of unclaimed bodies which
the city was compelled to take care OF,
and, having no place 10 which to inter
them, the Wilmington and Brandywine
Cemetery Co. gave to the city lot,
about 30x35, in which the unclaimed
bodies were buried; that is, the bones
for it is thought there were nothing but
bones at the time, and, SO far as is
known, all were buried IN one large
grave, which left quite considerable
portion Of the cemetery lot unused
1t was intended to reserve the lot as
place in which the city might in after
years bury the bodies of People who
died without friends, but, so far as Ia
known. nothing of the kind was done,
and, as a matter Of fact, very few
people knew that the city had lot in
the cemetery. Consequently, the only
use TO which it has been put is that
referred 10 above The city would
probably have neglected the lot
altogether. there being no provision,
SO far as is known, for taking care of
it, but the cemetery people have very
| kindly looked after the lot and kept il
in good shape. Ii is located in the
southwestern part Of the cemetery,
about midway between the main drive
and the Adams street wall and about
200 feet north Of Delaware avenue.
The Home for Aged Women also has
a lot in the cemetery which is near the
city lot, and as the home lot is now
filled the managers OF the home have
requested City Council that the city
lot be turned over to it. The request
was made in q letter, which was read
at Thursday meeting of Council. The
letter was presented by Mr.. Fisher, the
member from the Sixth ward, and re-
ferred to the law comm ittee, which will
look the matter up and make a report
at the next meeting.
From what tan be learned the old
Elizabeth street cemetery was on Eliza.

extended from King to French streets.
As matter of fact, it is said the street
was opened through it and the bodies
from that portion were taken care oil
by the city, going to the cemetery lot

terry. This change was made in 1885,
and all of the bodies except two were
buried in the new plot in one large
collin, but as there were two we'll
preserved collins they were buried

GLASS WORKERS AGITATED.

Trust Wants to Close Its Plants on
May 18th.
The local window glass workers, that
is, those employ ed at the works Of the
Chrjstisna Window Glass Co., are agi
tated over the question of the closing
OF the blasts. The Window Glass Trust
factories are in favor Of closing the
factories under their control on May
18th. This is opposed by the local
firm aud employees, number Of the
latter heing members of the firm,
which is 90 operative company. The
wages Of the men are the same as those
raid the trust employees. The local
men state that they intend If possible
to close the plant at the usual time of
the ear, June 30th. The matter has not
been definitely settled yet.
The determination Of the Window
Glass Trust to limit the production, by
closing down the furnaces at an early
date, will most likely cause a marked
increase in prices. 1t Is customary to
fix the wage scale for the coming
season before this time, but nothing
Of this character has yet been done.
1t is said, however, that @ conference
on the subject will be held In Pbila-
delphin some time during next week,
no exact date having yet been fixed.

City Council, at its meeting Thursday
evening, decided not to grant the re-
quest OF the Board OF Water Com
nissioners for permission to erect
21-foot addition to its Office building,
at the south west corner of Sixth and
King streets, for the reason, according
to the request of Chairman Healey of
the building committee, that the adj
dition would spoil the appearance Of
the yard ia the rear Of the City Hall.
The decision of Council was not uneni-
nous. the vote showing that all of the
Republican members and some Of the
Democratic members were favorable to
granting the request.
The Water Department decided sew
eral weeks ago that 1t would build the
addition IL it could get the consent of
Council, all city property being 10 the
name Of the Mayor and Council and the
consent Of Council being necessary to
make improvements involving extern
sions. The department made it's desire
known to Council in letter, and after
the matter had been referred to the
building committee members OF the
water board called upon the committee
and explained the necessity for the ad
oition. Thursday the committee pre-
scented IN unfavorable report, which
was signed only by the Democratic
members. Mr.. Stewards name was not
appended.
After the report had been presented
by Chairman Healey he moved that Ii
be adopted and the clerk notify the
board of the decision of Council in the
matter. Mr.. Oberly said he could see
no serious objection to the building
being erected and as it appeared to be o
necessity he thought the request should
he granted.
Mr.. Henley said tho committee had
fully discussed the matter and was of
the orinicn that IL was not advisable ia
allow the building to be put up at this
timer
''What is the objection?" Mr.. Fisher
asked. THE department needs the
loom and SO does the public You car
go In the office at any time and see how
much the department is cramped fol
room and in January, when theie is q
rush to pay water rents the public II
handicap pad very much and at times II
is impossible to get into the room"
The chief objection" Mr.. Healey
replied, lis that ths building woulc
spoil the appearance Of the rear yard o
the City Hall. "
Mr. Kane inquired whether there
were not some vacant rooms In cit,
buildings. Mr. Healey replied tina
there are two vacant rooms in the rsa
of the auditors Office, whereupon Mr.
Kane INQUIRED why they could not b.
put TO use.
Mr.. Fisher said he did not think tn
, City Hal, yard was SO beautiful that al
additional building would spoil 1t, hnt
il that was the only objection he wa
of the opinion that the request SHOULD

fresh fruits every few days from the
earliest berries until the fall or winter
| apples are ready to ship.
The arrangements for transportation
have not yet been completed, but de.
tail directions will be given later. The
fruit will be exhibitedin the State col

necessities Pruning the trees and
