States and at their expense. The
greater part OF the artillery was a
ned by native soldiers under European
officers. Thre~c-fourths Of the native
soldiers participated In the mutiny.
The Madras forces In Southern India
and the sheikhs I'm the Punjab were
not only loyal but rendered valuable
services In suppressing the revolt. On

eided that there should be moro
than two natives 20 one European In
the service; that the artillery should
be manned by Europeans exclusively.

Since the reorganization there has
been an average OF 00.000 British ard
10000 native troops In India. All sho,

An amusing incident occurred in
City Court this morning when John

BUT FEW WORKMEN
LEFT IN RAILROAD SHOPS
All Have Been Furloughed
From Todd S Cut But
Sixty-hve

There are but sixty-five men working
in all the departments at the Todd s
Cut shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. Yesterday about 100 men
were given a furlough for an indefinite
period and those who remain will work
five days a week and eight hours a
day.
The appearance around the shops is
entirely different from that of a few
months ago when altogether there We're
in the neighborhood of 1000 men en-
ployed in the different departments.
That was before the retrenchment poll
icy of the company began. Then the
swarms Of wOrkmen and whirr of ma
chinery made an animated and noisy
scene. Now but few of the wheels are
turning and small groups of men are
flying about doing all they can with the
great amount of work that is daily ac-
cumulating there.
The men who have been furloughed
have not been laid off or discharged.
That would mean their suspension from
the railroad relief and those over IS
years Of age could not be reinstated.
The men are simply furloughed for an
indefinite period. No one can say for
how long.
The men who have been let go can
not take employment elsewhere. II
they do they lose their standing in the
relief. There is an air Of uncertainty
about the whole proceeding. They all
realize that the rapidly increasing
amount of work at the shops must be
done, but how soon they will be called
upon to do it is the question that is
bothering most Of them.

BONDS TO BE REFUNDED
Dick and Robinson May Get Entire
Issue at 4Is Per cent.


The New Castle County Workhouse
outstanding bonds are 10 be refunded and
Dick and Robinson. brokers Of New
York. will probably get the entire issue
of N75.OOO at premium of AZ per cent
The last Legislature authorized the
funding Of the bonds so that they could
be reissued at a greater premium. Bids
for the bonds were received but the bid
ders did not offer a large enough pre-
MUM.
At conference with the Levy Court
yesterday j. Norris Robinson represent
ing Dick and Robinson, made an oner OF
Az per cent. for the entire issue.
The formal award will be made at the
next meeting Of the court on Tuesday
next.
The bonds shall mature in twenty years
and shall bear interest at the rate OF
four per cent. In the Jaw authorizing the
original issue no time for the maturity
of the bounds was specified. and this made
them less desirable than usual and was
responsible for the low premium re-
ceived.
