HIS STORY UNTRUE
Board of Health Officer Says no Smallpox

Board of Health Officer Says no Smallpox
Patient Was Forced From Here.
The Philadelphia Ledger says
editorially to-day:
A man suffering from smallpox,
who was found q the city streets
by policeman, declares that he
was forced out of Wilmington be-
cause he had the disease This
seems incredible. The story shonl d
be investigated by the Board of

or any of its officers or servants,
that is so barbarous as to endauCer
the health OF the nelghboring city

In answer to the story, Secre.
tary Wigglesworth of the Board OF
Health this morning said: $50 far
as the Board Of Health knows this
man never was here. 1t is untrue
that anyone suffering from small.
pox was ever forced from here. On
the contrary every person found

Strengthening LOndon's Defenses.

LONDON, Nov. %. Efforts of a far
reaching character have been set on
foot to fortify the metropolis against

inadequately protected. An ANNOUNCE

THIRD STREET BRIDGE.
May Put in Bed Plate to Prevent See-Saw-
ing of Structure.

Balance wheels have been put on
either end Of Third street bridge TO
prevent the see-sawing Of the struc-
ture, but they do not have the de-
sired effect, the see-sawing inter
feres with the workings of the
bridge. The defect is thought to
be in the masonry on the APP
pr0aches. 1t has settled and it may
be necessary to put in bed plate to
ttain the necessary level.
Although the safety gates have
been in operation for several days,
they do not give satisfaction. When
put down they drop with great force
and the machinery cannot regulate
them. When raised they work all
right. Electric lights had been put
on them, but the force of tie fall
broke the globes and damaged tho
to such an extent that
this defect in the gates will have to
be remedied before the lights will
be replaced.

DEALERS SAY PEOPLE WHO HAVE
COAL ARE BEGGING FOR MORE,

THE driver got it in the coal bin.
It meant good deal more work for
him, but he preferred to do that
than bring the coal back. Another
man had to bring a load back this
morning. They said where he took
it they had more now than they
needed.
"These duplicate orders are un-
necessary, and they make it hard
for rs. At the present price of coal
there is very little in the business.
When some of our deliveries are
returned, we are put to an additional
expense which wipes out all our
profit. If these people who are going
from dealer to dealer with their
orders understood the situation
they wouldn't put us to this I'M
necessary expense. We are supply
ing our customers, on order, with a
ton each of range and of heater.
When that is gone we will be ready
to send them more. But they are
afraid of not getting any when what
they have in their bins is gone. OF
course, that's the reason why du.
plicate orders are given"
The daily Republican., 1902-11-20

Dealers say the demand for coal,
which is now swamping them with
orders. is largely fictitious, owing
to Implications. These Implications
arise out of the fear Of people gen
orally that the cold weather will
catch them without fuel. This leads
them to seek unusual ways of
getting coal Men are going around
from dealer to dealer giving orders.
1t happens, then, that the same
man gives to different dealers some
times n dozen orders, and drivers,
on delivery to fill orders, have found
overtopped coal bins facing them.
In some cases they have had to take
the loads back to the yards.
This sort of thing is happening
to ns right along" said dealer
yesterday. Two days ago one of
our drivers brought load of coal to
a house A woman came to the
door. Well, she said, we don't
need the coal now, but suppose as
long as it's come we ought to keep
it. If you can get it in the coal bin
YOU can leave it..

SCHENECTADY, n. Y. Nov. 90
There was no quorum at the meeting
of the boycott committee last night,
and the gloom that was visible in the
faces OF the agitators indicated how
complete has been the collapse. I'resi-
dent Henry Y. Jackson said that he
was awaiting other developments, but
he refused TO state what the develop
mcnts might be.
The BARRIERS union has decided to
withdraw from the Trades assembly
if the boycott Is not declared off. A
representative of that union addressed
several labor organizations. requesting
them to take similar action, and was
enthusiastically received. The core
makers and punch press operators Will
follow the lead Of the BARRIERS, and
prominent labor men say that ma
jority of the unions will withdraw I'M
less the Trades assembly complies with
their wishes and lifts the embargo.
Labor men generally are very bitter.
saying that the individual unions ex-
listed before the Trades assembly and
have proSpcred not because Of that
body. but in spite of it. Even if the
Trades assembly is not disrupted en-
tircly it is probable that it VIII be re-
organized and that the men who are
responsible for the boycott and the eX-
pulsion of Potter will occupy minor
position If they are admitted within
the fold at all
The boycott has been so Intellectual
as to become laughing stock, and
the only ones who needed it We're the
members of the carpenters union and
few others scattered throughout the
different unions who are in sympathy
with the radical element. The bulk OF

TENDERS FOR
CITY TROLLEYS.
Council Has Ordinance Pre-
pared and May Give it
Readings Tonight.
Mr.. CROOK OF PEOPLES
LINE IS SATISFIED.
But Superintend..e mt Van
Trump of City Railway
Says the Tenders Will
Not Save Life.

In line with the movement agi.
tated by The DAILY REPUBLICAN
City Council at its meeting tonight
will consider an ordinance provid-
ing for Tenders on the city street
cars.
When the committees of Council
met last night the fender question
was considered.
1t is believed by some of the
Councilmen that had Tenders been
used on the local cars the two acci-
dents which recently occurred in the
Ninth ward on the lines of the Will
mington City Railway Company
and the two on King street this
week on the line of the Peopl es
Railway Company could have been
averted. The trolley officials say
however that tenders would not
have prevented the accidents and it
is expected there will be some lively
discussions over the ordinance be-
fore it is adopted.
In all probability the ordinance
will be given two readings at the
meeting of Council tonight. 1t pro-
vides that within sixty days after
its passage every trolley car in the
city or running through the city
shall be equipped with a fender Of
style to be approved by the police
committee of City Council. Failure
to provide tenders as required by
the ordinance is punishable by a
fine of $50 and costs and each day
that a car is run without Tenders
constitutes separate otfense.
MR. VAN TRUMP OPPOSES TENDERS.
Superintendent Van Trump Of
the Wilmington City Railway Com.
pany, said this morning that the
company did not favor the use of
tenders or its cars, Experience of
the United Power and Transpor.
tation Company, which has used
lenders on nearly all of its lines,
has shown, according to Mr. Van
Trump, that the tenders have in.
ured more people than they have
saved from 10 jury. Tenders are OF
no practical value for the purpose
for which they are INTENDED, but If
the railway company thought that
even one accident could be prevent
ed in year by their use the com.
pany would equip its cars with the
appliances.
Continuing Mr.. VanTrump said
that the short curves, on its line,
would make the use of Tenders diff. !
cult. 1t would cost about $50. 90 to
equip each car.
"Whv", said Mr.. NanTrnmp, "if
had shown that the use Of
lenders saved auy expense, and every
loss of life or limb IS an expense, es-
oecially If the company is to blame -
re would have all our cars equipped
with tenders, Of our own accord,
quicker than lightning"
