WAVES
HEARING FOR COURT
Principals in Sensational
Shooting ARRAY Appear
in the City Court

Pale and showing the effect Of his
self-inhicted wounds. Frank Hoffecker
was brought into City Court this morn
ing to answer a charge of attempted
murder on Frank Milbourne, whom he
found with his wife. After shooting at
the two he shot himself
Milbourne was present and had his
head swathed in bandages. Occasion
ally the two would look at each other,
but when their eyes met would quickly
turn their heads. Milbourne sat I'm one
end of the room and Mrs. Hoffecker,
attired in a pink waist made a conspic-
uous figure in a seat well filled with
women in the other end Of the cham
Der.
Hoffecker remained seated in the cen
tire of the room against the railing
which divides the room.
Long after his case had been disposed
Of he sat there awaiting the arrival
Of his bondsman, George II. Huber. Oc-
casionally he would close his eyes as
If to shut out the scene before him.
Once during the trial of a negro
charged with entering a Chinese laun-
dry he smiled when the proprietor OF
the establishment took the stand and
began to tell the court in a language
neither English nor Chinese that the
man in the dock was not the one who
attempted to rob him.
Horace Greeley Knowles appeared
for Hoffecker and waived a hearing for
the upper court. Bail was fixed in the
sum of $500.

cafe and made the stew himself. but
instead Of using salt he put a large
quantity of mustard in the stew. He
then brought the stew out to the office
and insisted that Willis eat it. The
clerk at first heaitated, but when Kirk
man pulled out a pistol he started to
eat the mustard stew.

Of Character.

In eceonding the resolutions adopted
by shs New Castle County Bar Assoca-
tion, and prescribed TO the Court of Chan
cery upon the death OF General Samuel
A. Macallister. Thomas f. Rayard told

During the civil war one night General

and finding 81 nned with what he sup.
posed was tobacco nruck a match and
applied 1t to the pipe. Instead OF tohacc,

BIG DREDGE WORKING
ON CHERRY ISLAND FLATS

After years OF pecking away at the
Delaware river channel with the OBJ
solete dredges used by high priced
contractors, the United States govern
nent has sent a modern suction dredge
owned by The War Department to be-
gin work on its own hook.
Acting upon the request of Captain
James c. Sanford, engineer in charge
Of the Delaware River improvements,
the self -propelling dredge Cape Fear
is working on Cherry Island flats.
While the Cape Fear is one of the
smallest suction dredges owned by the
government, it is capable Of more efec-
tive work in clearing the channel OF
distractions than a whole fleet OF
dredges Of the stationary type in use
by the American Dredging Company.
A Significant Step.
Beyond that, the chief significance of
the action Of the War Department in
sending one Of its own suction dredges
TO the Delaware lies in the fact that
the government officers are manifest
ing a determination TO push work in
the channel. even TO the extent of TAX
ing part or all of it out of the hands OF
the dredging combine which for years
has had a monopoly Of fat channel
contracts.
Rivers Most, Troublesome Shoal.
This shoal. which is near Whining
ton. is the most troublesome in the
river. Seven miles long. it has been
dredged repeatedly to 26 feet. only ia
fiji up rapidly again. owing principally
to the fact that the currents Of the
flood and the ebb tides, do not move
over the same path. 1t is only when
these currents flow over the same
path that a channel best maintains
itself.

In appearance, the Cape Fear. which
arrived IN the river Friday, is much
like the ordinary sea-going tug, ex-
cept for the ten-inch suction pipes.
which extend aft on either side from
the middle of the ship. She is 129 feet
long, and Of 81 feet beam; draws load
ed, IA feet Of water. and can steam
eight knots an hour
How the Dredse Works.
All of the newer dredges have ar
rangements and appliances Of the same
type, the only difference being in capa-
city and size. Two enormous bins.
cne forward and the other aft, receive
the solid material sucked up from the
river bed. The Cape Fear differs from
the newer dredges in that it has but
one bin. which is forward. The mater
ial is pumped up and into the bin,
through a pipe that extends downward
from the deck to the bottom
The dredging is done as the ship is
in motion. Connected with the end
OF the pipe IS a drag. fitted' with an
arrangement which loosens the MATER
ial over which the ship is passing. As
it is loosened it is pumped into the
dredge. and thence into the bin space
When the bin Is full the dredge
moves TO the designated dumping
ground. the gates at the bottom arc
dropped by q wheel located on deck
and the load of silt, gravel and stone is
deposited.
As the load falls water rushes into
the bin TO the level Of the load water
line. When the dDedge again reaches
the ground over which II is working
and begins to take on another load OF
solid matter. this water is gradually
displaced from the bin by the mud, and
flows of over the top until the load is
again completed.
