BURSTING TANK
PLAYS HAVOC.
Walls and Windows Shattered
in Engine Works at Meadow
and Miflin Streets

Philadelphia, pa, Sept 25-The
explosion of a compressed air tank
at the works of the Philadelphia En-
gine Company, Miftiin and Meade W
streets, shortly before noon yes,er-
day, caused great eXciteman in the
neighborhOod of the establishment,
/ and over $1,000 damage to the plant.
The tank worked under pressure of
100 pounds and was heavily charged
at the time Of the occurrence. The
noise caused by the explosion sound
ed like the report from the discharge
of large Gatling gun.
The tank, which was over four feet
in diameter and nine feet high, was
completely destroyed and its parts
were scattered with terrific force a.
bout tho establishment. Every win
dow in the lower end Of the building
was demolished, and much damage
was done to the walls and to the ma
chinery of the plant.
Charles Edell, an engineer, who
was standing in the door way Of the
building at the time, had narrow
escape from the flying steel. A small
fire was caused as the result of the
explosion, but this was quickly
extinguished after the arrival of the
fireman. No reason has been as
signed by the company for the cause
of the ex plosion.

THE CONTRACT
CAUSES TROUBLE
Farmer Near Smyrna Refuses
10 Deliver Tomatoes to
Cannery

Smyrna, Sept. 25.-The ref,lsa!
to live up to a contract for the sale
of his tomato crop, has caused two
lawsuits between Robert McMullin,
! living on the Logan Farm near
town; and Frederick A. Tolsch,
Secretary and Treasurer of G. IL.
Pearson Packing Company, owners
of the Counselman Canning Factory
of this town, and one of the cases
will have to be settled at the coming
session of the Court of General Ses-
sions at Dover.
1t appears that Robert McMullin
had sold to the c. r. Pearson Pack
ing Company, all the tomatoes to be
grown on four acres of ground, at
81 the ton. When the market de-
mand rose, the Packing Company
together with the other proprieters
of canning factories in this vicinity
raised the price of IS the ton. This
had no effect upon McMullin and he
failed to deliver them at the factory
as contracted but delivered them to
other parties. By the advice of At
torney Ridgely of Dover, suit was
recently brought by the c, H. Pear
son Packing Company against Rob
ert McMullin before Magistrate E. V
Cooper, fox 5000 damages. Judge
ment was obtained and execution
issued.
McMuln's goods aud chatels were
levied on by Constable Jones last
Saturday under execution. and his
tom ato crop Of four acres was sold to
Frede rick A. Torscb, Of the c. H.
Pearson Packing Company, the high
est bidder.
When Torsch proceeded to pick
the tomatoes, McMulln and Howard
Bowde, who also lives on the Logan
farm became enragcd and assaulted
the now purchaser and threatened
to beat and kill him. The latter
brought suit against McMullin and
Bowdie, who we're arrested by Cou.
stable jones. The trial took place
before Magistrate Cooper yesterday
afternoon, The Justice was not per.
mitted to settle the case. and each
was held in bond OF 800 for their np.
pearancc at the next court OF Gener-
al Sessions OF Kent County. Each
were also held III peace bonds for
$500.

Now that the city pastors hay

Now that the city pastors have
opened the fall and winter campaign
in the interest of Christ's Kingdom,
we suggest that one of our theatres
be open every Sunday afternoon for
public worship. Iu this way we be-
lieve that many men who do not
hear the Gospel can be brought uu-
der its influence. Men will hear the
Gospel from the theatre stage when
they will not from the church pull
pit. We believe this was demon
strated at the few religious meetings
held in one of our public playhonses
last year.
That our churches are not reach
Ing the growing population of our
cities is Il lamentable fact and no
longer secret. Very few Of our
city churches are half filed, and
some of them have hardly enough
men present to enable the minister
to say dearly beloved brethren. In
New York city we are told that the
Presbyterian church has lost 80 per
cent. in comparison with the in
crease of the population. The. Meth
odist church has il the last twenty
years increased only y per cent,
whereas, in proportion to the popu-
lation, it should have increased S5
per cent. The other denominations
with the exception Of the Roman
Catholic and the Protestant EplscO-
pal, make little if any better show
ing.
The chief reason why men stay
way from the churches is to he
found in the pulpit. This Is read
ing age, and the people are not us
they once were, dependent on the
pulpit for light. If the minister
fails to keep up with the times and
lags behind in his thought force, he
must not wonder if the people pre-
fer to stay at home and read heir
Sunday newspaper.
The pulpit has dealt too largely
altogether with what it knows moth
ing whatever, and too little with
the real duties and interests Of the
great eventful present. Fighting
extinct Satans may be easier work
and require less labor, observation
and study, but it is not what the
times require.
That change in the church life
of today is needed, goes without
saying. A living, acting C.TlstiAu-
l. ".

conduct more than creed. 1t will
spend less time on the mysteries Of
