BIG FIRE NARROWLY AVERTED

Installed to Take Strikers Places.

What might have become a serious
conflagration in the plant Of f. Blumen-
thai & Company. was averted by the
timely arrival of the Weccacoe and
Fame Fire Companies. this afternoon.
The fire originated in the buffing de-
partment. which was recently installed
by the firm. The buffers are machines
which were put in to take the place
of the strikers, who did the buffing by
hand and the dust coming from them,
which was soaked with oil and grease

sparks from an emery wheel or a heated

remove the Court Of Chancery steno-
grapher.
The proposed amendment designed to
hIrn cases Of carrying concealed deadly
weapons into the jurisdiction of the
Municipal Court of Wilmington was
given notice OF by Mr.. Monaghan. It is
to give the City Court exclusive iur-
isdiction. At present all such cases go
to General Sessions Court.
Mr. Monaghan also introduced the
hin to provide that one-third Of the
moneys arising from licenses for the
sale of intoxicating liquors, and one
third the fines and forfeitures accruing
therefrOm. shall be paid to the incor-
porated cities and towns in which the
licensed places are located. Should the
clerk of the peace fail to send to a
town the money due it he shall be sub
ject to a fine OF $50 to $500. He must
keep an itemiZed account showing Ii
cense fees and fines, which must be
open 10 the inspection of town treas
urers. For false entries he shall be
subject to a fine of $50 to $500, and
for failing to keep the book or to let a
town treasurer examine it he shall be
liable TO a similar fine.
Mr.. Monaghan gave notice of an act
in relation to rewards for the arrest
of criminals, under which the Whining
ton Police Commission will have power
to permit officers to accept rewards
offered for the arrest of criminals. The
present Police Commission act prevents
tho acceptance of such awards.
Another act which Mr.. Monaghan
will introduce is designed to give the
chief of police Of Wilmington the power
to serve any and all requisitions made
by the governor. At present this au-
thority is confined to State detectives.

MRS. B0TKIN WILL NOT
ESCAPE SECOND TRIAL
Alleged Murderess of Dover
Women to Go Through An
other Ordeal on March I
sneclnl III the Evenlne Iournal.

Dover, Jan. 31.-The Delaware wit
nesses in the celebrated BOtkin case
may yet have an opportunity to testify
in a second trial Of the California muir
deress, who was convicted of the muir
der of one of Dovers most prominent
women, and also causing the death OF
another woman.
One of the witnesses has received a
letter from the district attorneys Office
stating that the second trial will prob
ably be set for March /, and allays
all fear that the special exhibits, which
were in the possession Of ex-Chief of
Police Lees have been lost since his
death. The letter says:
The sickness and death of Chief of
Police Lees have delayed us in the
Botkin case, and I understand, her at
torney George A. Knight, is East OF
in Europe, but expected home soon.
"Chief Lees took a great interest in
the case and l desired his assistance
and testimony, but we can still make
out strong case.
I'VE do not desire to leave any
stone unturned that will lead to justice
being administered to the one who
committed the terrible crime. AS you
knew, Chief of Police Lees had the
box of candy and the anonymous letter
in his possession and we particularly
desire all witnesses here at the tria
who can identify them as the ones re
ceived in Delaware and brought Il
San Francisco.
Il believe We can get the case OF
trial March l."
Many people in this section believ,
that some Special legislation should b.
passed upon at this time, in or tha
Delaware may be well represented, leg
ally, at the coming trial.

Railroad Furnished Employees About o.

All the coal ordered by employees Of
the Pennsylvania railroad has been re-

done much to relieve the situation here,
as about seventy-fve carloads have
been received by the employees in this

them by the railroad, they would have
been forced to have gotten it from the
