W1RlFItD BRICK PLANT.
Plans said to be Maturing far Large
Concern Here.

Plans said TO be Maturing far Large
Concern Here,
For some time it has been rumored
that q syndicate had purchased land
along the Christiana River near this
city for the manufacture Of vitrified
brick for paving and other similar
purposes, and now it is said plans are
maturing for the equipment and opera
ton of the plant. So far as can be
learned, nobody in this city is directly
interested and nothing definite in re-
gard TO the matter can be learned here.
According TO the Chester Morning
Republican, Samuel j. Rose of that
city is at the head of the syndicate.
Mr.. Rose Is said to be one of the first
men in Pennsylvania to successfully
burn bricks with anthracite coal. He
patented kiln for that purpose.
He has gone from one part of the
country TO another, trying to locate a
paying bed of clay. At one time, the
syndicate had almost decided to locate
and build its plant near Abesecon, but
the clay apparently available proved
insufficient for the demands of so large
plant, and that neighborhood was
abandoned.
Mr.. Rose said recently that the people
with whom he Is connected had secured
80 acres of ground along rhe Christiana
River and that in nearly every portion
of this large tract, the brick clay has
a depth OF 10 feet.

FOUND DEAD IN A FIELD
Daniel ]. Sweeney, a Night Waterman,
Murdered in Hanover Township.
STRIKERS SUSPECTED OF CRIME
Had Been Advised by Them to
Quit Work.
MUCH INDIGNATION OVER THE MURDER

Associated Press Dispatches ~ Special Wrzes-
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 6-Daniel j.
Sweeney, watchman in the employ Of
the Delaware, Lackswanna & Western
Coal Co. at its Bliss Colliery, in Han
over township. was found dead in q
field in that township this morning.
He quit work at midnight and was
followed by score of men. The men
were making threats, and Sweeney Was
afraid OF them. He took refuge ia
saloon, and remained there for some
time. After he thought the crowd that
followed him had dispersed, he left
for his home. This was the last sesn
OF him alive.
The superstition is that the men who
followed him from the mine were lying
in wait for him, and wheE be Ap-
preached the spot where they were
hiding they assaulted him with pick
handles and beat his brains out The
body lay in q pool of blood. One OF
the arms was broken, apparently by .
blow from club. The mprdasers wsra
determined TO make sure OF their work.
The nearest house is several hundred
yards from the scene of the crime, hns
one of the inmates thought be heard
the cry Of murder about : o'clock Ehls
morning. =
The county detective is now at werk
on the case. 1t is said the coal CONS
pany will offer reward Of 81, GO for
the arrest and conviction Of the mur-
derers.
The murdered man told the superin~
tendent of the mine where he was en-
ployed that some of the strikers had
spoken to him last week and advised
him that IL did mot iaox rtuhf tn srus
him going to work, and that if be was
wise he would quit at once Sweeney
said he needed employment, as his
family was in want The next day
another delegation met him on his way
to work, and told him If be did not
quit work he would be sorry. Sweeney
said these warnings worried him, but
he resolved to continue at work.
There is much Indignation over tbs
cold blooded murder, ss the dead watch
man was well liked.

cording ID these plans But the court
built bridge thore lately under new

only So 80. Captain Rice is willing to
