AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
An Exciting Canture

Game Wardens Davis and Torton, of
Salem County, Connor, OF Cumberland
and Matthews, of Burlington county had
an exciting time Sunday morning about
2 O'Clock with three illegal fishermen
from Chester. They were cruising near
Chester Island in the new naptha launch
Protector owned by the State. A boat
containing three fishermen watching
their net vas seen. They threw their
buoy overheard and rowed to the Jersey
shore, hoping to ground the Wardens'
boat. The rudder gear of the Protector
broke and Warden Davis had to reach
through the stern and steer by holding
the rudder with his hands. The War
dens landed in a small boat they had in
tow, when the fishermen showed fight,
with oars, beer bottles and a tiller. The
Wardens lodged their blows, drew their
revolvers and soon captured them. They
were taken to Bridgeport where Squire
Truitt fined them 500 and cost, on the
payment of which the boat and net were
returned to the owners They gave their
names as George w. Sheets, John and
Matthew Barto, of Chester.

DELAWARE GETS THE DUMPS.
River Sites Offered For Dumping
River Mud.

More than 600 acres of marsh lands ON
the west bank of the Delaware were on
Saturday offered as dumping places for
material dredged from the ship channel,
in the form of proposals submitted by
five property owners who undertake to
construct and maintain adequate retaining
walls, and also to indemnify the govern
ment against damages that may be sustain
ed by adjoining property owners.
The project was suggested to the War
Department by Major Sanford, who will
have the land in each case inspected so as
to determine its availability for the pur-
pose. If all Of the 600 acres are suitable
Major Sanford believes that together with
the artificial island dumping basins now
nearing completion on Stony Point Shoals
and the basin to be formed by a bulkhead
now being constructed between Edge
Moor and Christiana River a sufficient
space will be provided for all material
dredged in the construction of the 80 foot
channel.
M. E. Ward, T. P. Ward and Bessie
Ward, who offer 80 acres of marsh land
near Darby Creek, say in their proposal
that the land is already protected by a
stone wall bank on the river front 10 feet
high, and is, therefore, at once available
for dumping purposes. The offers include
also 100 acres of ground near Delaware
City and Port Penn, owned by William
P. Mcconnell of Wilmington; 40 acres
near Delaware City and crossed by the
Pennsylvania and the Wilmington, New
Castle & Southern railway, owned by
I. B. Heisel, of Delaware City; 100 acres
at Woodland Beach, owned James R.
Mott, and $50 acres south OF Fort DUPONT
reservation, owned by the estate of A.
Colburn. The right to dump material is
offered the government free of cost, and
it will be forced from the scows over the
retaining banks through hydraulic pipes.
The suction dredge Cumberland, loaned
by the Wa Department for ~redredging
the channel through Cherry Island Flats,
is having new stern bearings put in, and
will be ready to begin work in about a
week. The American Dredging Co. ex-
poets its big new dredge Commodore to
begin work this week in dredging through
Duck Creek Flats, and with this increase
in its plant it is believed that next sum-
mer more than 100000 cubic wards of
material a month will be removed, as
against about 500, 600 cubic yards which
the plant averaged last summer.
The government will avail itself of the
offers at its convenience and dredged ma
terial may be placed IN all OF the land
offered.
