ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

II is somewhat of . pleasure TO
note that the city Of New Castle
does not favor the arrais ument ot
class against class. When the day
comes that the common people are
to have no voice and are not quail
fed to hold office then It is a bad
omen for the city. Property owners
~ New Castle are all right but they
have no right to trample on the peo-
pie who do not own property ia their
own right. There are numerous
young men OF bright ideas at th ,
present time who are competentf
fill any office within the gift Of
people and yet do not appear on{
records as property owners.

pass the bill to be prcsentedN
New Castle. Then there will be ~
election called and the vote will be
for or against water and electric
light. James G. Shaw has sent a
messenger to the proposed Water
and Light Commission requesting
a conference. Mr.. Shaw is OF the
opinion that by floating the pro-
posed bonds, purchasing the pres.
ent plant and putting in new pipe

Excitement reigncd supreme for
time at the Jail last night and the
night wardens had their hands
full. CUlored women tainted. white
women became hysterical and the
men congregated in the cells rat
tied the iron gates for the wardens.
Fears Of being burned alive where
they were confined was the vision
OF the prisoners. The jail was filed
with steam and dust and the un-
fortunates behind the bars feared
that their time had come. Shortly
after o'clock the exhaust pipe
IRON the boiler blew out. The
noise was heard throughout the
building. Then through the man
hole poured volumes OF steam and
dust. The corridors were filled
and the cries Of the prisoners from
cell to cell could be heard. Warden
Rash summoned the firemeu and
they drew the fire. Other prisoners
opened the upper windows and al.
lowed the steam and dust to es.
cape. The damaged pipe will be
repaired today.
