A RUSH FOR AUTOS.
Manufacture and Sales Have In
creased Over u Hundred Fer
Cent. During Past Year.

The wear in automobiles has been a
good one, but even with its Increase Of
about 100 per cent. in the manufacture,
the business was not entirely crafty
ing to manufacturers. At the outset
the makers looked for tremendous
sales. but with the unsettled condi-
ton in business, generally due to de-
clining values, many purchasers held
back. Prices of autos. however, were
well held throughout the year, and IN
some instances advanced, The auto
mobile is not novelty, allowing n
wide margin of profit to the maker,
as it is essential that all parts of the
machinery included in it's construction
be OF equal merit, which prevents in
ferior productions and keeps prices
up.
The demand for pleasure vehicles
represented only about 25 per cent. Of
the total increase in the output dur
ing the year, which Indicates their
growing popularity. The striking
growth was in the output Of delivery
and truck autos. One Of the features
that developed during the year was the
formation of severa! bus and truck
companies for the purpose of hand
ling country passengers and farm
products to and from towns. II has
developed that this business is sue
cess, and will eventually expand to
vast proportions. The export demand
has also grown materially, and the
American make Of every description is
going to all parts of the world, even
to France, where they originated.

EReceived Stolen Child.

Charles Charlton, formerly of this city,
who has wife living here, was arrested
at Coatesville, Pa, yesterday, by Ser.
geant Zebner OF the Baltimore police
force.
In his possession was found 6-year-old
Jessie Birmingham, who, he claims as
his child, and who was abducted from
the home of her stepfather, Lewis Stever
in Baltimore, on Wednesday last.
Charlton and the child were brought
to this city and taken to Baltimore at
6.46 o'clock last night.
The clild's mother was Miss Birm-
inghum, who after the birth of the
child, married Mr.. Steiner. Mrs. Steiner
died last August and the child remained
with her stepfather who seems greatly
attached TO her.
The child was brought to this city
on Thursday and later taken to Coates
vile by q colOrcd woman.
Robert ScragES, nllaS H. Capps un"
James Jones, all colored, have been ar
rested in Baltimore for the abduction Of
the child and held for hearing on
February 16.
Alice Il. Capps confessed that she gave
johnson ten cents to abduct the child
and that she took it to Coatesville and
turned is over to Charlton. who is some
times known as Chas. Lewis, for n
promised reward Of $40 which he had
offered her by letter.
The child has short, light hair. fair
complexion and brown eyes. Charlton
is about 40 years of age.

at the Methodist dinner given last
night in Derby, Conn, lie spoke
on the subject. "Thc Layman as
Legislator.
The Judge said that while speak
ing against the powers that he still
declared his d d.votion to Metho-
tlism. He declared that lie was
fully competent to judge ofth G
merits of the Methodist Church
as he had been associated with
nearly all other churches and thus
knew whereof he spoke.
He declared that Abraham, the
father OF his race, would not have
been allowed to turn Hagar away
IN these days, as he did in the past,
for the Courts would have allowed
her more alimony. David would
have had his troubles in a modern
Court and George Washington
had life chapters unfit for boys
or girls to read.

was either iooI or a knave in his
relations 10 woman. You can take
either horn OF this dilemma you
cnoo e, he added.
While he had no grievance
against Bishops and Presiding
Elders. he said, he knew they were
not perfect and that they made
grievious mistakes. The Methodist
Church, in his opinion, was extra

A NIGHT IN A MINING CAMP.
Story Of q Tragedy in which Two
Men Were Killed and One
Injured.

One night, says the author of a
euriously interesting article in Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly, things came
to q climax. Marshal Mclnness was
at Sitka; his substitute, Rowan, was
sitting in an all-night lunch room.
when man with blood running down
his face staggered in the place. lie
shouted for some one to give him a
"gun,' and Rowan, who was square
man, explaining that he was acting
marshal, asked him what his trouble
was. The wounded man excitediy
told his story. He had been robbed
of his money, and had been beaten
on the head when he mad protested
to the bartender of the Theater
Royal, where the robbery had oc-
Cured. Finally he had left, prom
ising, however, to get gun and
square accounts. Come with me, and
] will investigate this natter said
Rowan, and he helped the man along,
for he was quite feeble from the loss
of blood. When they got to the the
ater the wounded man opened the
door. at the same time making
semblance of drawing pistol from
his "gun-pocket." Fay, the bartender,
had been expecting him. Quick as
flash he pulled his gun and fired,
dropping the poor fellow dead in his
tracks. Rowan, his revolver in his
fist, pushed his way into the room,
only to be shot down by the desper-
ate bartender. who afterwards disap-
pcared. A man who was employed by
the citizens to act as fireman hap
pened to be passing at the time He
was intoxicated, and in his excite
ment emptied his revolver at random.
One of the bullets struck the proprl-
etor of the Nugget saloon, who was
eating ut lunch counter on the side
walk, and crippled him. Marshal
Rowan staggered to his feet, man
aged to crawl to DR.. Moore's office
around the corner, and then dropped
dead. oddly enough, the doctor had
recently returned from Rowan's
home, where the first baby had just
been born in Skaguay.

Newark College.

The talk in regard to the removal
of Delaware College from Newark to
this city is being revived. There is
no doubt but that both the college
and our city would be benefited by
this change but the cost Of new build
ings and additional apparatus, will
prove SO great as to prevent any
such improvement. If Delaware pos
sessed citizens like Carnegie or Rock
feller to give donation the expenses
might be warranted, but its rich men
are few and far between or they have
not yet realized their obligation to
give to this or to any other public
improvement. We shall therefore
have to continue in the old ruts and
the College and our city jog along as
best they can.
