RIVER CHANNEL
HAS CHANGED
Much Nearer Delaware Shore
Than II Was
JETTY WORK RESPONSIBLE
Work on Pullman Co.'s Wharf SuS-
pended Owing TO Freeze Up.
Tug Martha Fast

Rivermen say the channel OF the
Delaware river below New Castle
gradually is undergoing a change. The
channel now is much nearer the Della
ware shore than Il was a few years ago.
and in addition the depth of water is
much greater.
Between New Castle and Hamburg
cove the depth of water fifty yards
distant from the Delaware shore
ranges from twenty-five to thirty feet.
This change has been occasioned by
the erection of a ietty extending from
the New Jersey shore south of New
Castle.
Thus II may be seen that the change
in the channel has made the river
shore on the Delaware side a desirable
site for shipbuilding plants or dry
docks. All that would be necessary
would be the construction of a bulk.

AS a result of the freeze-up Franl

Also Wrecks Several Build
ings in Chicago
THIRTEEN DEAD; MANY INJURED
fter Gas Had Done Deadly Work
Fire Added to the Horror Of
the Scene

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Thirteen lives
we're lost, between IS and 100 people
slightIy injured, two buildings at 372
and S74 TNenty-second street were
wrecked and $4,000 damage was done
by an explosion of gas last night at
the intersection OF Twenty-second
street and Archer avenue. The fol-
lowing are the dead: Otto Trostle,
80 years of age, butcher; Mrs. Otto
Trostle, 35 years old; Otto Trostle, Jr.;
Lena Trostle, years old; Annie Tros-
tle, years old; Mamie Trostle, IL
years old; Fred Trostle, butcher, a
nephew Of Otto Trostle; Sophie
knight, domestic in Trostle family;
Mary Rosenthal, 80 years old; Mrs.
NJ. Kaufert; Edward Kaufert, IA years
old; Mamie Kaufert, years old; An
drew Kolb, roomer with Mrs. Kaufert.
Two other explosions Of gas followed
80 quickly that it was hard to distin-
guish them. Flames leaped and roared
from the hole. The fire spread below
the STREET and smaller manholes were
blown into the air.
The flames from the first gas main
shot high into the air and reached
the Trostle butcher shop. The build
ing was a three-story frame structure
and It had been weakened and nearly
wrecked by the shock. It is supposed
that the occupants Of the building
were knocked unconscious or were
too panic-stricken to rush from the
place. The dry and rotten wood was
food for the fire, and in an instan
the flames had enveloped the struc
ture. With a roar the building col
Iapsed, and the occupants, with on'
exception, were carried with it to tn
basement. The adjoining building,
two-story structure, fared up and wa
wrapped in flames. and then anothe
structure caught fire. It seemed tha
the whole block would be wiped ou
before the fremen could bring tn
blaze under control.
A fire wall of a brick building a
the corner held the fire in that dire
tion. On the west of the burnin
buildings were two small onestor
cottages. They were a few feet frol
the burning buildings, and that CAV
the firemen an opportunity of headin
off the fire. Window glass through
out the neighborhood was broker
and bottles and glassware in III
dwellings and stores were thrown

Many persons in buildings near II
explosions were knocked dow
Scores Of men and women, many
them carrying children, rushed to Il
streets. They were greeted by Il
glare Of the fire from the manhole
Fearing further explosions, the pc
pie rushed down the street, many
the women screaming with fear.
The direct cause of the explosion
not known, but all indications she
that it was due to escaping gas in &

Was Demolished
STRUCK BY PASSENGER TRAIN
Accident Occurred at Twelfth Street
Railroad CrOSSing-IIOrSeS
We're Not Injured
STRUCK BY PASSENGER TRAIN

James Parvis. driver in the em-
ploy Of the Wilmington Transfer
Company. had an exciting encounter
with a p. w. g. B. railroad passenger
train this morning. That he is alive Is
due to the fact that he Is an athlete of
some ability.
Parvis was driving a wagon loaded
with rubber. the property of the Chi
cago Rubber Works. and upon ap-
preaching the Twelfth street railroad
crossing he looked cautiously up and
down the tracks to see that no train
was near. He saw none so started to
drive across the tracks. When the
wagon was midawy across the tracks
Delaware division train No. 50, came
LAUNDERING down the line. lt was then
that Parvis bounded through the air
like a trained acrobat.
A moment later the train plowed
into the wagon. and whether Il was
owing to the rubber inside is not
known. but at any rate. the vehicle
SCARED high in the air and came down
shower OF splinters.
The horses attached to the wagon
were not injured in the least, and we're
captured by colored man after they
had run several squares.
After picking himself out OF the
mud. Parvis gazed at the retreaung
train and remarked.
Gee. II I hadn't jumped I'd have
| gone home in sections"
i The accident Is the second one OF
the kind that has occurred on the L.
w. & b. railroad within the limits o
the city this week. The first one hap
pened at the Fourteenth street cross
ing. but the occupant Of the demohsh
ed wagon was, unlike Paryis. seriousl'

 A DisconceFteo Detective.
 A good story of Michael Davitt has been revived by the Illustrated London News apropos of the recent publication of his new book, "The Boer Fight For Freedom" The story pertains to one of Davitt's speeches as organizer of the Irish Land league and runs as fol- lows: "J
 He lashed his large audience into a sort of frenzy by his structures upon English rule and Irish slavery. Daring bis most impassioned and eloquent if least loyal passage he vas interrupted by the arrival of the government short hand reporter, who dashed up on an outside .jaunting car accompanied by three members of the Irish constabu- lary with rifles and side arms fixed. The fresh arrival Immediately pre- pared to take down the words that were burning from the man who was at that time second to none, including Charles Stewart Parnell, as the chosen of the people. Davitt paused and gazed at his new nearer, who awaited him notebook and pencil in hand, and then turning to the mass of upturued faces he finished his peroration in the wild eloquence of their native language, and heaven knows what treason he emit ted, for certainly the government re- porter did not. assbe gazed blankiy at the speaker The audience understood and appreciated his purport, express ing their approbation in wild and un- bounded screams and shouts"

Lining. For White Dresses.

The question of a lining is a perplex- ing one to the woman who dresses in white. for the lining costs more than the gown. and to line a fifteen cent cot ton means something when viewed from the standpoint of the pocketbook.
 As for the lining. it is matter that cannot be ignored. All or very nearly An of the summer goods are transpar- ent and the lining is distinctly visible, painfully so sometimes.
 Of course it is possible to use the plain cotton Innings, just as one would with any other gown, but these lin- ings do not show up well. and they add nothing to the beauty of the dress.
 If you cannot afford to line well, then do not get transparent dress. SO the modistes advise. And they send their customers back to exchange dress patterns that show the lining too plain ly.
