at Old Market adjourned, directing them
to como at once. There was a report In
circulation some ten days ago that the

the city looking over the field. Whether thi
be true or not there Is little doubt that
agents of the company who have had ex-
perience in strikes In other cities have
been about engaging men to take tha
places OF the employees who go out this

possible men who have had experience In
operating cars in other cities will be en-

crossed to khis side of the bay, when the
attention Of several people at Franklin
City was attracted to the peculiar move
ments Of the boat. For quite a while it
had been noticed that the boat seemed
to he moving about helplessly. in a cir
cuitous manner. and some apprehension
was felt that an accident had taken place
either to the boat or its lone occupant.
1t was agreed to send party out in a
sail boat to ascertain the trouble, and to
render assistance, if needed. Mr.. Edw.
Harrington, of Franklin City, was
among the first to step aboard the gaso-
line boat, and found to his horror that
Mr. Jarman was dead. The body of the
unfortunate man was carried ashore.

as there was no evidence of any ill ef-

SMALL POX RACES
NEAR LAUREL, DEL.
Ten Deaths in the Village
Of Woodland. Eight
From Neglect.

Woodland. village six miles from
Laurel, is suffering from a smallpox ep-
idemic and so strictly is the town quar-.
autined, that of the 10 deaths which have
occurred, eight are said to have been due
to neglect and starvation.
The Laurel Board of Health appealed
to the State Board for aid, and was in
formed that no funds were available.
The Sussex County Levy Court also de-
clded 1t had no power to act.
But one family in the town has regu-
lar medical attendance, the other victims
being too poor to guarantee pay. Re-
lief meetings were held in the Laurel
churches Monday night, and money
collected for relief purposes.
There are IS smallpox cases in pop.
ulation of 100 at Woodland. The dead
are George Henderson, Mr.. and Mrs.
Purdee, Miss Sarah Records, George
Massey and four negroes
This section underwent scourge of
the epidemic year ago. and so great is
the dread felt, that the suburbs of sur
rounding towns are patroled to prevent
refugees from Woodland entering their
precincts.
