FATAL ACCIDENT.
Brakeman Corbit TImmuns Killed in the
West Yard.

Corbit Timmons, a freight brakeman
in the employ of the p, W.. g. B. rail
road, was instantly killed in the west
yard at late hour Tuesday by fall
ing beneath his train. His head was
severed and the trunk frightfully
mangled and both arms cut off near
the shoulders.
The deceased had been in the employ
of the railroad company for short
time. He resided at No 2O4 French
street with his wife and child. He
was former resident of Townsend.
The accident, it is stated was due to
the breaking of brake which he was
handling in the stopping Of car which
had been run on side track. The
man was thrown beneath tho wheels
and six cars passed over him. The
body was picked up by the trainmen
and placed on shifter and taken to
the emergency hospital and afterward
turned over to the coroner.
William Timmons, fireman on the
Delaware railroad, Gorbit's brother,
was at French street station when the
body arrived at the emergency hos
pital and viewed the remains He was
under orders to leave on the midnight
express and being unable to secure
substitute at so short notice, was
practically compelled to board his train
and run to the other end of the line.

COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD.
Arranging to Continue the Work of Build
ing schools for Colored People.

ing schools for Colored People.
The New Castle County School
Board held its quarterly meeting yes
terday at the oiiice of Henry G. Conrad,
Tenth and Market streets, and planned
for resuming the work of building
schools for colored people in the rural
hundreds, which was prosecuted so
successfully last year. The commits
sioners will arrange to meet the repre-
sentatives of those districts which have
not been provided for some time early
in April, at date to be announced.
The Legislature at its session appro-
priated $1,000 year for two years, to
zach of the counties for the building
and improving of colored school build
ings in the hundreds outside of Will
mington. The law requires the district
to raise at least half of the cost of the
buildings this State giving half.
Last year the New Castle county
board built two colored schools in APP
poquinimink hundred, one in Black
bird, one in Red Lion, one at Newark,
White Clay Creek hundred, and two in
Mill Creek hundred, one at Hockessi
and one at Marshallton, and in ad-
ditlon, the one at Mlddletown was i'm
proved by the addition of new roof
and painting, an addition was built to
the one at Delaware City and improve
ments were made in other districts, and
at the end of the year the board had
surplus of 800 out of the apprbpria-
ton of 5000 In most districts the
people contributed largely in excess of
the States appropriation, with the
result that the new buildings are
worth from $500 to 81, 200 each and
most of them are clear, while there are
small mortgages on two or three. The
commissioners did not give over $500
to any district and in most cases the
appropriation was 5000. Good, sub
stantial buildings were erected, the
average dimensions being 25x30 feet. 1t
is hoped to do as much work this year

Soon as Practicable.


As the Directors of the Street and Sewer

loom at noon Tuesday they held consul
tation relative to the matter of public light
ing, which has been hanging hre for some

the course decided upon is the best for the
city, us it will result in nm advantageous
contract and the city will not be involved
in litigation, Hence Mr.. Melyin's decision,
in common with the other two directors, 10
support such II compromise ms has been

TO you for Peruna miss Kate Brown
A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously de-
ranged by neglected cold Diseases of
the kidneys, bladder and digestive or
gans are all frequently the result of q
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause of
them is discovered, there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhea medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any of
the internal organs.

Growth Of the Packing industry.

The steady growth in the meat
packing industry is shown by the cen
sus reports. In 1850 the amount of
capital invested in the meat packing
business was $3,4S2,5O0, which was
then considered very large sum. BY
the last census this investment had
grown to $1S9 .19S,264. Fifty years ago
there were 1856 establishments in
which meat packing was done; now
there are 921. Half century ago the
labor was done by 3,276 employees; in
1901 the number employed was 6S,534.
Wages paid during the last census
year amounted TO 3,457,013 against
1921, 536 fifty years before. The value
of the finished products had increased
from shout $11,000,000 to over $685.
100000. The number of establishments
increased over that oil, half century
ago, but is less by 1000 than it was
ten years ago. This is due to the alb
sorption of the little plants by the
large packers.

The horses feet should be frequent
ly examined, If he is to be protected
from such accidents as the picking up
of nails, glass and strips of metal of
various forms and sizes, says an ex-
change. The frequency with which
such accidents occur should cause in
creased vigilance ON the part of those
that handle horses. If the horse steps
ON "a nail. even though the head be
up, he may catch it in part of the
foot that forces it out of the rotten
board in which 1t was previously held.
The next step of the horse drives the
head of the nail further into its rest
ing place in the foot The point of the
foot that is most subject ito such mis-
haps is the frog and the cleft just be-
hind the frog. Not only metal but
splinters of wood find their way into
this vulnerable region and become the
cause of pain to the horse, with sub
sequent lameness. 1t is fortunate for
the horse if the injury is such that he
shows lameness, thus leading to an in
vestigation of the feet and discovery
of the cause. But a good many times
the injury is. not sufficiently great to
cause show of lameness, hut it is
great enough to cause pain to the poor
beast, and that for days at a time.
Frequently this is manifested by a
disinclination to rest the weight on
this foot when in the stable. In mo-
ton the pain is not sufficient to pre-
vent the horse putting his foot down
as usual. Such injuries are found for
the first time when the horse has to be
rushed. Humanity should lead us to
frequently examine the feet to see that
all things are in normal condition.
