ORGANIZING LIFE SAVING CREW
That Is the Mission of Captain Paul
A. Ferry, of Government Service,
in Wilmington

Captain Paul A. Ferry, of the United
States Volunteer Lille Saving Corps,
inland waters. is i'm Will
mington organizing volunteer life
Saving crews In this district. After
organization the members are supplied
with lifeboats, metallic and cork life
.preservers and an emergency medicine
case. The men are not paid, but are
awarded medals. some of which are OF
bronze and some of silver, according
to the heroism displayed in effecting
the rescue. Each man is supplied with
a button of membership. and cards OF
instructions for resuscltation are
placed in conspicuous places.
The crews are made up OF men who
work about the wharves.
The movement was Incorporated and
chartered in 1890. In N. Y. State there
are 1000 men in the service; in New
Jersey, 5000 men; in Massachusetts,
4. ZOO: in Connecticut, 1000; Ohio, l.
600: in Rhode Island, 600; in Pennsyl-
vania 900; Maryland, 300.
In the past five years the members
have made between 5000 and 1000 res
cues from drowning. The members In
New York and New Jersey made lzV
rescues at the burning of the ships and
docks in Hobolzen two years ago.
Captain Ferry will be in the city ioi
several days The names OF the crews
which he expects TO organize here Will
be announced later.

MAY STORE CARS
IN WEST YARD
Passenger Coaches Of the En-
tire Division Will Be
Kept There

After the elevated railroad is COM
pleted here. West Yard will be used
as a place to keep the passenger
coaches of the entire division. Some
of the track will probably be removed.
1t has been a question Of the company
for some time where they would store
their passenger cars. They have not
sufficient room in Philadelphia, nor
can they get it, and as a consequence
they now put them in the freight yard
or any place they find empty This
causes much inconvenience at times,
as the coaches are mixed up with the
freight cans and considerable shifting
is necessary TO get at them In many
instances much time is lost, but after
the completion of the new road the
yard will be used exclusively for them.
They will be cleaned and Otherwise
prepared for the room there, and only
few extra ones will be kept at the
station. In case of a hurry call, a tele-
phone message will bring the cars in
two or three minutes, and the shifter
that brings them in can connect them
with the waiting train.
Another change that the elevated
road will probably bring will be the
building of a new freight house to sup
plement the present one, which is far
inadequate to meet the increasing
amount of freight coming TO this city.
II will be built, it is thought. from
the present main tracks, almost to the
Christiana on the site of the present
passenger car shops. This will be an
idell spot for a freight station, and If
it is built as is now thought viii be
accessible from both Third and Fourth
streets.
The new station will front on both OF
these streets, and the tracks will run
in the middle of the building. THE
will do away with the annoyance OF
the. present crowded station.

Mrs. Botkin Is Divorced

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-Welcome A.
Botkin secured a divorce for deser-
tion from Mrs. Cordelia Botkin yester-
day.
The case is noteworthy, as Mrs Bot
kin is condemned to prison for life for
causing the death of Mrs. John Dun
ming and her sister, Of Dover, Del, by
sending them poisoned candy from
San Francisco through the mails.
Mrs. Botkin made no defense.
Botkin testified that his wife left
him in 1896 because of her fondness
for other men. Under this term Bot
kin meant John p. Dunning, then AS
sociate Press correspondence here
with whom, as alleged, she was so en-
amored that she poisoned his wife with
the idea that Dunning would then re-
turn to her. When she sent the poi.
soned candy Dunning was writing hen
daily letters from Cuba, and at the
same time corresponding with his wife

CHANGES IN CHARTER
City Council May Decide on Some I'm
portant Matters

When the proposed new city charter
is discussed at the joint meeting OF
City Council and the Board of Trade
on Monday evening, the members Of
Council will propose some changes in
the bill as drawn. One is that three
members be elected from each Of the
five wards instead of two, as the new
charter provides.
Council also desires to make a
change in the method of naming the
heads of departments. Under the pro-
posed charter the mayor, with the ap-
proval Of Council can appoint direc-
tors from any portion Of the city
Some of the members of Council want
ed to elect these members.
1t is now proposed to allow the
mayor to appoint, but to provide that
one head of the department shall be
selected from each district, so that one
portion Of the city shall have no adj
vantage over the other.

CASES FOR TRIAL
AND ARGUMENT
But One More Case to Be
Tried at the September
Term

In Superior Court this morning
counsel in the case of Irwin Stetser's
next friend VS.. the Wilmington City
Railway Company announced that the
case had been settled. Tuesday was fix
ed as the day for the trial of the case
of George w. McCaulley VS.. Peoples
Railway Company, which is the only
case yet to-be tried at this term, and
the jury was discharged until that day.
In the cases of the p, b. & W., p. &
R.. and B. & o. railroads VS.. Diamond
State Steel Company, the court refused
judgement, notwithstanding applica-
tion of demand. The railroad compan-
les charged the defendant company
service for cars for each day the cars
were detained in the steel cOmpany's
yards over the fOrty-eight hours which
is allowed for unloading the cars.
The argument was on the question
ais to whether the above was a proper
charge for book account. The court
ruled, after hearing a lengthy argu-
ment on both sides, that Judgment
could not be recovered by application
of demand on book account. The cases
will now go to trial in the regular way.
In the case Of McGrath against the
Wilmington and New Castle Railway
Company, Charles M. Curtis, of coun-
sci for the company, entered a special
appearance and filed an affidavit ask
ing the court to grant a rule to show
cause why service ON a writ should not
be quashed The court granted the ap-
plication and made it returnable at 10
lo'clock tomorrow morning.
Argument in the case of John p.
Donahoe VS.. the Star Publishing Com
pany. on an application of J. Harvey
Whiteman, of counsel for the defend
ant. was being heard when court adj
journed. The application was TO with
draw the plea of not guilty at the last
term and enter a plea OF demurrer
claiming that II did not specifically
state wherein the plaintiff was injured.

TRAP SET FOR
COAL STEALERS
Railroad Detectives Arrest
Annie Marskin, a Polish
Woman

It is thought with the arrest Of An
ME Marskin and her husband this
morning that the principal coal steal
ers have been trapped. For a long time
the coal cars. which have been stopped
on the. tracks along Old swedes wall,
have been rifed. i'm some cases as
much as two tons having been taken.
The authorities have been keeping
a sharp watch upon the cars, but the
thieves have operated principally at
night, and have eluded capture until
this morning.
A car was left there last night as a
trap, and long before daylight Detec-
tiyes Jones and Joyce. Sergeant Lyons,
Officer Davidson and SDacial Officer
Gordy went down to watch It. They
had not been in hiding long before the
woman appeared. She was in the act
of filling her large basket, when the
officers bore down upon her. She
fought like a fiend. biting and scratch
ing them. Her husband appeared upon
the scene. and took a hand in the row,
but they were soon subduad and taken
to the City Hall.
The stealing of the coal has been go
ing on regularly since it began to come
into this city at the close of the strike
and it was the wholesale manner in
which the thieves took it that drew
the attention of the authorities TO the
matter.
When searched the man was foTmd
to have S57.72 in his pockets. This
coupled with the saualid home in
Church lane. leads the authorities tc
believe they have hit upon the mis-
screants. as they have been selling the
local evidently.

resident Assured That the

on Cuban Reciprocity
EARED TARIFF CONTROVERSY
Opponents Of Direct Legislation
Thought Tariff Discussion Would
Prove Embarrassing, If Not Danger
Gus, to the Republicans.

Washington, Dec. 5. - President
Roosevelt is assured that if the nego-
ations with Cuba for a reciprocity
reaty are concluded satisfactorily by
ne state department, the treaty will
g ratified by the senate during the
resent session. While many senators
yere and still are opposed to direct
,bgislation by congress on the. subject
II Cuban reciprocity, come of them at
PAST, and perhaps a majority among
1em of Republicans, will vote to rat
iy a reasonable reciprocity treaty.
Senator Elkins, of West Virginia,
Tho led the anti-Cuban reciprocity
Ibrces in the senate during the last
sssion of congress, had an extended
lterview with the president yester-
ay, during which they discussed Gu
an reciprocity. He informed Mr..
Roosevelt that he would support a
roper Cuban reciprocity treaty, and
expressed the belief that such a treaty
Yould be ratified by the senate soon
fter its presentation. Such a solution
{ the commercial obligations of the
nited States to Cuba would be en-
rely satisfactory to Senator Ellzins
nd many of his senatorial colleagues
tho opposed the enactment of direct
sgislation because they feared suct
ction would open up a tariff contro-
ersy, which, in the view Of strong ad-
coates of the protective system, NIGH
rove embarrassing if not dangerous tC

President Roosevelt, it is under
|ltood, has received assurances from
ther senators who last spring op
