ASSESSMENT on MARSH LAND.
Cherry Island Company Leyiss IS on Each
Acre Of the Property

Directors OF the Cherry Island Marsh
Company yesterday afternoon laid an
assessment Of IS ON each acre of the
marsh land This assessment will yield
SS,OOO which money will go to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, pro-
vided the course of Shellpot creek be
changed.
The marsh company discussed to
some length the advantages of the pro-
posed canal. The land owners were Of
the opinion that the entire one thou
sand acres in the marsh would be bene-
fitted and permanently improved. and
that the improvement would be worth
the amount levied. It was thought some
time ago that there might be some op-
position, but it did net appear at the
meeting. 1t is not believed There is
any opposition. now that the subject is
thoroughly understood.
An answer is expected from the rail-
road company in a short time, and it is
believed that the proposition will be ac-
cepted. The company is making inn
provements costing over one million
dollars in the sections drained by the
Shellpot, and in it's present condition
the stream greatly interferes with those
improvements.

The law under which the auditors

keep an itemizod account Of receipts
and expenditures.
The auditors must report their find

BIG BARGE LAUNCHED
Several Otheri Craft in Course Of Con.
siructiOn in Local Sbipyards

The American Car and Foundry
Company launched a big tow barge this
morning for J. w. Paxson & Co., OF
Philadelphia. There was no ceremony
at the launching, but as the big barge
glided from the ways she was salutcd
by several blasts from the whistles of
the tugs in the river at the time. Tho
new barge is 140. feet long, 26 feet
beam and feet depth Of hold, and
will be known by the name OF Bennie.
II is the same type as the steam barge
launched some time ago for the same
and now having engines put
in 1t at the Pusey and Jones Company.
The Bennie will not be propelled BY

CITY'S FREE ICE FUND
BAlLY GROWS LARGER
Already S745O Is in Hand, Nat
iSIattOrV Showing the Pro
iectOrS Say

Donations to the free 5ce fund now
amounts to $7A5O. This is a satisfac-
tory showing, and its continuation will
enable the fund to prepare for any
weather thab reasonably may be ex-
pected. Though so far the warm waves
have been brief and have been follow
ed within a short time by falling
temperature that tends to drive the re-
membrance of them from the mind tenn
porarily, the city is certain to have the
normal amount of warm weather. Con-
tinuous days of heat will come, and
the fund does not want to be unpre-
pared for them, and il looks as II its
friends did not intend that it should be
so.
lt would be a source OF great satisiac-
tiOn to persons who have contributed
TO the needs of the fund if they would
take the trouble to watch the persons
who get the ice and follow them into
the homes. If those baskets were fol-
lowed they would lead to pathetic
scenes that would speak volumes to the
credit Of the work. of the fund.

RAILROADS SHORT OF COAL
Only Three Days Supply Is Kept en- Hand
at One Time

Reports that the railroads are laying
in stocks of soft coal for use in case the
miners convention. which meets in In
today, declares a general
strike in the soft coal regions, are not
believed in this city.
Officers Of the Baltimore and Ohio
say that the company had not
it's policy of keeping only
three days supply on hand. The reports
probably arise through the inability Of
the railroads to move the loaded cars.
The anthracite strike has set free a
large number of cars. Many of these
have been sent to the soft coal mines
and loaded. The railroads have not
sufficient motive power to move the
traffic offered them and the loaded cars
are therefore placed on sidings.

MIR. MARINER DIED THAT HIS
CREDITORS MIGHT Be BENEFITED

him at his old home in Delaware. The
bankers sat down and for a minute no
word was spoken. "a committee Of
three was speedily named, and the
meeting closed.
The bankers suggestion that MI
Mariner considerably commit suicide
was repeated to the bankrupt He knew
that he had been severely censured by
some of the creditors because he did
not face them in New York
Mariner brOOded over these thingc. He
had a conference with his lawyer Carl
NJ. Bowman, last Friday, but expressed
little hope of fairly meeting his diff
eulties. He appeared TO be much de-
pressed.
Mr.. Mariner was in communication
with his lawyer again on Monday. He
admitted that his creditors were un-
willing to accept any proposition look
ing to a reorganization of his wall
paper mills.
That same evening Mr.. Mariner went
TO .his old home in Smyrna, Deilwafe.
II must be that he had at last deter
nlired to sdOpt the suggestion !aale
BY the banker and end his life. Once
a. home he expressed delight at seeirg Z
=
Considerably committed suicide
Aside fron Mr.. Mariners life insur-
ance it is not believed that the credi-
tors will realize much
Although Mr.. Mariner evidently pre-
ferred death to meeting the Creditors
Committee, with which he had an ap-
pointment yesterday, a member Of tine
committee said that the rep
resentatives of the creditors,
Thomas Waller, Edward G. Ward
and Maurice w. Phillips. had been
disposed to do everything in their
power TO help him. In that belief. he
said, it was not their claims so much as
entanglements with banks that preyed
upon his mind.
The financial affairs of the dead man
are very much tangled, and those in au-
thOrity refuse to discuss them in detail
until they are straightened out. His
attorney, Carl NJ. Bowman. who was
to have represented his client at the
proposed meeting yesterday, said that
the meeting had been postponed. IL is
not likely that a meeting will be held
until next week John Mariner, q
nephew of the dead man. was at the
office OF the Philadelphia Wall Paper

later for New York. presumably OF
business connected with his uncle's az.

RIVER BOATS COLLIDE
Boats Of Rival Companies Have Narrow
Escape Cd Ipper Delaware

The steamer Quaker City, of the
Wilmington Steamboat Company, and
the John A Warner, of the Delaware
River Navigation Company, were in
collision on the upper Delaware river
line yesterday. The two boats were
going up the river, the Quaker City in
the lead. This steamer, cannot make
very good time in shoal spots, while IL
is known that the John A. Warner can.
The first shOal spot was passed and the
Warner did not overtake the Quaker
City, but a. the second she began to ap-
proach the Quaker City. Her bow was
almost amidship with the Quaker
Citys. The captain of the latter boat
gave the signal to draw of or 20
ahead. It was answered, but no at
tempt made to stop. The Warner turn
ed and her bow struck the Quaker City
amidships, but did not do much dam
age. She remained in that position for
several minutes. The passengers on the
Warner were badly frightened and the
women on board thought the boat was
damaged. The officials of both COM
panies deny the responsibility of the
accident.
The Delaware River Navigation
COmpany's officials contend that it was
the freight steamer Fannie, of the Will
mington Steamboat Company that was
in collision with the steamer John A.
Warner. They say the Fannie re-
mained on their bow in order TO pre-
vent the Warner from landing before
the Quaker City. They also deny that
there was a panic on board their
steamer. The matter has been turned
over IN the river hoard and the con1-
panies will abide by its decisions.
