Rock Has Been Blasted

Bank and VIII be

appropriate A Exercises
on March go, cog Years
After Landing

lt is now certain that the spot on
which the Swedish settlers OF Will
mington first stepped foot in March 20,
1888 is TO be marked by the erection of
a monument This was decided by the
Delaware Society Of Colonial Danes of
America at o special meeting.
The society has been contemplating
such move for some time. but were
uncertain as what form the memorial
would assume, as they were not sure
how large a rock they could get out un-
til some blasting had been done.
It was their idea to have the monu-
ment made from the identical rock on
which the first landing was made and
they knew the exact spot but We're un-
certain about how deep the rock cx-
tended
Several blasts were made around the
piece of bed rock, which they proposed
to erect and IL was finally gotten out
this morning. The dimensions of the
rock are two feet, six inches high. and
eighteen inches thick. This will be
set upon end on a foundation OF the
broken rock and one side smoothed and
the following inscription engraved upon
Il:
This is to mark the spot on which
the Swedish settlers first landed on
March 29 1888. On this location stood
\ Fort Christia. and the first civil courts
In Delaware were held hers and the first
church in Delaware for Christian wor-
\ ship was erected here"
An iron fence will surround the mon
ument to protect it from vandals and it
will stand in the yard of the McCul-
Tough Iron Company upon the bank of
the Christiana river.
! Just how the inscription should be
E put on was a question of comment foI

t society. AT first a brass plate was sug-
gested but many were afraid that

} would steal it and the more permanent
marking was decided upon.

GALE LAYTON
BOSSES UNIONS
Goes on the Floor of House
and Makes Them Do His
Bidding
SOME ARE TIRED OF HIS WHIP

"Cale" Layton, dictator, boss and Ad-
dicks fire-eater, was thrown down yes
terday by Speaker Anthony, who OBJ
iected the the persistent efforts Layton
was making to run the House. There
are three branches of government, ju-
dietary, executive and legislative, and
Layton is trying to combine the last
two. His actions on the floor of the
House yesterday would not have been
tolerated in Congress or on the floor of
any other legislative body. Speaker
Anthony earned the respect of his po-
itical enemies by the manner in which
he rebuked him.
Repeatedly did Caleb r. Layton, Sec
retary of State, nod to Speaker An
thony to decide in the affirmative or
negative as he desired. He continued
these tactics until Speaker Anthony dis
played anger.
Layton secured control of Clerk Rob
ertson, who delayed calling for the ayes
and nays after repeated demands from
Speaker Anthony that the vote should
be taken. When finally it was realized
that the repeater had carried, Clerk
Robertson withheld the result and
called TO Representative Jones to
change his vote to nay.

Ever since the Legislature opened
