onslaughts on the crews. beginning a
dawn Of day and continuing as Ions
as cars remained on the tracks. The
tie-up was made complete.
A number OF cars were wrecked,
and that no person was killed is no
fault OF the rioters. One man had his
back broken, and the first shot Of the
strike was fred at Wentworth avenue
and West Sixty-ninth street. where a
mob of several hundred persons tried
to hold up a train.
Many persons, chiefly non-union
street car men, were injured by flying
stones or sphntered glass. Two women
were among those hurt. With faces and
hands bleeding from the attacks Of the
strikers, mOtOrmen, gripmen and con
ductors who tried to run trains re-
turned to the barns and refused to go
out again unless the trains bore pla-

The strike is the outgrowth of per.

On Monday the Season Will

In Sussex County There Will Be More

pass Signs.

Delaware's cunning season for quail
and rabbit, which opens on Monday, will
be without a doubt one of the largest in
many years, and viii 90 down as a record
breaker.
The stocking Of the State in the spring
of 1900 and the mild winters and dry
Juncs that have followed will make this
a memorable season.
What is most .leeded at this time is a
heavy wind and rain storm to feed the
springs and knock the leaves from the
trees. The leaves interfere with single
bird shooting in the woods and the dry
weather makes it hard for the dogs. Ere
quently sportsmen are compelled to take
their dogs to farmhouses TO give them
water.
Birds Full Grown.
The first brood of birds are now full
grown, but the second brood have not
acquired their full growth. Gunners will
find quail more cunning now than even
last season. Each year they are becom-
ing harder to shoot. They take flight
in the woods and rest for a moment and
are off again. This causes the gunners
more walking than formerly.
Best Shooting in Sussex.
The best shooting in the State will be
found in Sussex county. The stubble
fields fairly bristle with quail, which by
the way are larger. Each year on ac-
count Of the stocking of western birds
the size of the partridges has increased.
Sportsmen viii find more obstacles this
year than heretofore. Almost all the
farmers in the lower part of the State
have posted notices forbidding hunting
on their farms. This was brought about
by the law prohibiting game from being
shipped from the State.
The indications are that more gunners
will start out on Monday than for many
seasons. Shells are being loaded and
guns cleaned for the opening of the sea-
son. Many sportsmen will leave on Sat
urday for lower Delaware to be. ready to
start out bright and early Monday morn
ing.
There is a great demand for bird and
rabbit dogs and some sales have taken
place this week where much money
changed hands for the ownership Of good
hunting A.. dogs.
Poor Woodcock Shooting.
Woodcock shooting win be poor this
year. 1t requires cold nights to cause the
birds TO migrate to this section and as
+ these have not been forthcoming, there
will be no shooting of these birds of any
consequence.

People who are interested in the FL

Although Lawrence is supposed to have

wilmington's plant viii cost much
more. 1t was the hrst filter in the
country erected on a large scale and is
regarded as a pattern for others.
The cost of the two and one-half
acres of this filter was $4,000. while
the estimated cost Of our filter or five
acres including the patents is s25O,OOO.
The population Of Lawrence is $4,000
while this city has a population OF
about SOOOO
The following figures regarding the
local filter may be of interest:

It is claimed that the patents lessen
the cost from $4,000 to $4,000 an acre.
There are five acres and according to
the saving given out by the Water
Commission the cost would be from
S65,000 to $4,000 per acre.
Inquisitive persons are asking where
