believed was caused by three men who
intended to steal coal, occurred at an
early hour this morning in front of the
boiler house of the Hackensack Water
Company, on the Bulls Ferry road Wee
liawken. About three o'clock the entire
neiglborhood was awakened by what
seemed to be the report of large gun.
Shortly afterward three men were seen
to leave the boiler house and disappear
behind the reservoir It was discovered
hat the explosion had occurred directly
in front of the boiler house door. The
door was shattered but was still on its
hinges. From the nature of the damage
il is supposed that the explosive used
was giant powder.

HANNA AND ROOSEVELT.

The determination Of Senator Hanna
to prevent the endorsement of Roose-
Welt for denomination at the Ohio
State Convention is piausibly explained
by the statement that one convention
has no right to bind another, and that
TO consider presidential candidates win
be the natural work of the convention
which viii meet next year for the pur-
pose Of naming delegates to the Ma
tional Convention. Mr. Hanna gives as
another reason that he. as chairman
Of the National Committee, should show
no preference i'm the matter Of candi-
dates. This latter reason is good as faI
as it concerns Mr.. Hanna personally
but it does not affect the Republican
party in Ohio.

LEVY COURT To SPEND
MONEY ON TWO ROADS
Willis, Elliott and Armstrong
Object-Want Something
for Their Districts

The matter of improving public
roads again occupied the attention of
the Levy Court Commissioners at the
meeting yesterday afternoon. After
general discussion on the subject, it
was decided by "A vote of to 3, to
spend the money on the road between
this city and Hare's Corner, and the
Elsmere road. 1t was intimated by
the members who voted to spend the
money on the above roads that if any
of it. is left after they get through it
can be spent on roads in other sections.
Under the law passed by the last
Legislature, each county may have
$4,000 from the State Treasury pro-
viding the county appropriate an equal
amount, and the State has fixed the
figures for two years.
Here is a portion Of the resolution
adopted by the court:
That it is the intention of this court
to cause TO be improved all or part
of that particular highway in New
Castle county and State of Delaware
known as the Hare's Corner road.
between the following points to wit:
Beginning at or near the boundary
line of the city of Wilmington and
ending at the bridge over the Della
ware railroad at or near Farm
hurst station. And also all or part Of
that particular highway i'm the said
county and State, known as the New
road beginning at or near the boun-
airy line of the city of Wilmington
through the village of Elsmere and by
way of Prices Corner to the county
bridge over Red Clay creek i'm the viii
lage of MarshalltOn. And it is the pur-
pose and intention that an equal
amount as near as may be OF the
money appropriated by this county
and State for the purpose of improving
the public roads of New Castle county
shall be spent on each of the roads to
be improved as aforesaid.
Messrs. Willis. Armstrong and FL
lott strongly opposed this resolution,
but it passed with the votes Of Messrs.
Chandler, Megginson, Hopkins and
Mealey.
Mr. Willis and Mr.. Armstrong OBJ
jected to using all the money on two
roads and thought that a share of ii
should be spent on the road between
| Odessa and Middletown. Mr.. Elliott
also made an appeal for a slice of the
money for the roads in his district.
The state Highway Commissioners,
were instructed to make surveys and
plans and submit them to the court.
President Cornelius j. Horrigan, OF
| the highway commissioners, says that
roads in New Jersey have cost $4,000
to $4,000 a mile. There is about three
and a-half miles i'm each road. so that
| the seven miles can scarcely all bC
built for the $4,000. The court has
the right, however. to appropriate more
money than the States amount.

Whom a Young Man Graduates

Whom Young Man Graduates.
From the Atchison Globe.
When a young man is graduated
from college he reads an address,
wherein he says that people must do
wonderful things to attain success and
climb high and rugged mountains. This
is not the truth. The fact is, the road
to success has been blazed so clearly
that no one need go astray. Success is
easier than failure. There are thou
sands of people to direct the young
man. All the young need do to win
success is to follow a few simple and
easy rules. 1t is the loafer liar, the dis
honest man, who travels a rough road
and is wretched.
