DANGER LURKS
IN OUR WATER
Sewerage Condition at West
Chester a Menace to
Health of Wilmington
FILTHYSEWAGE ENPTIES INTO RIVER

Bacteriologist A. Robin OF the Water
Department surprised the Water Com
mission yesterday afternoon at the
regular meeting OF that body by sub
mitting a report Of the existing sewer
age conditions al West Chester. His
examination Of the Brandywine In that
locality led 10 the discovery that a
considerable amount OF refuse, includ-
ing drainage from hospitals, is being
dumped in the stream from which VIII
mington draws its water supply.
According to DR.. Robin there Is no
general sewerage system in West Ches-
ter the disposal Of the faecal matter
beine accomplished by means of cess
pools. There are five sewers, however,
which are intended to carry off the
surface drainage. but which also carry
faecal matter from considerable num-
her of residences connected with them.
Cesspools frequently overflow and their
contents find their way into these
sewers which drain into the Brandy
wine al different points.
one Of the five sewers is known as
the hospital sewer. The outlet Is To-
Gated IN Marshall street below the
Chester County Hospital This sewer
drains the northeastern section of the
town. emptying into Black Horse Run
which joins the Brandywine about two
miles below this point.
Concerning this sewer DR.. Robin
says:
~This sewer receives the drainage
from the County Hospital as we'll as the
lovernow of the hospital cesspools. Dur
ing my inspection / saw the drainage
from the hospital empty from small
iron pipe into the stream little below
the outlet OF the sewer. This drainage
did not differ in character from that
usually considered as sewerage. / was
told at times this drainage is OF
disgusting nature A short distance
east Of the run are located three wells
(which receive the sewage from the con-
went situated on the hill. While the
solid matter is supposed TO be retained
lin one Of these wells and the sewage
Uttered; / am certain that the pfoNlin-
litv of these wells to the run constituted
la real danger
/ Dr Robin censures the health Off

hove failed to carry out the promise
Inc, made relative to reporting typhoid
lfever cases occurring ON the watershed

iRobin's discoveries the Water Board
ladopted the following resolution:

suilo,na rrauss Strike.

New York, Aug. 2.-The Building
Trades alliance. made up Of seventeen
unions, has declared n strike against
the George A. Fuller Construction COM
pany. and work has been tied up on
the Times building. Sturtevant build
ing. Trinity building. New York Hip
podrome and the Taber building. The
reason given for calling out the men
was because Of n claim that the Fuller
company had been using stone from
nonunion quarries and trimming yards
1t IS thought that the actual reason
was because of the fear Of lockout
on the part Of the Building Trades
Employers association.

Sir: As your valuable paper circulates
very largely in all parts Of Delaware. I
would ask your indulgence to say few
words on the Democratic situation in our
State as il now presents itself The an-
nounoement was srecently made w.
Newspaper article that It was conceded"
that Joseph =. Holland. Of Milford. would
be the nomnee Of the Democrats for Gov
crnor. Conceded by whom may / ask?
BY Peter j. Ford, in order that he can
secure whatever honor IN the way OF
nomination shall go TO New Castle coun-
ty? IL certainly looks that way.
The thorn On Ford's side is Mayor
Charles d. Bird OF Wilmington. whose
Gubernatorial campaign has virtually
bowled out the former in this respect.
Now the defeated aspirant has turned his
attention to the Congressional nomina-
tion. and. as New Castle county will be
given but one OF the more important nom
nations. he wants 10 be the man. He
need give himself no worry; the lightning
win not strike-him.
The Democratic voters Of this State
supported Mr.. Ford once once is enough.
His nomination for Governor four years
ago Did not prove a Blessing to the party
and there is no likelihood whatever Of the
error being repeated this year.
Mayor Bird Is well regarded by the
Democrats OF Kent and Sussex countie.
and he would be perfectly satisfactory
to large majority of them.
Mr.. Holland is another clean and ac
ceptabie man. but Holland for Governor
and Ford for Congress wouldn't go down
The friends OF the Milford man should bl
careful in making combinations The
Democrats intend to win this year and
they viii make every endeavor 10 nomi.

would go down In defeat

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
Joseph E. Holland Of Milford, Probably
the Sussex Candidate.

The following letters from valued cor
respondents show that the Democrats
are becoming agitated over their State
ticket. As matter Of interest we pub
lish these letters and welcome others.
Ed)
Editor Of The Evening Journal:
Milford. Del. Aug. 1, 1904.
From all indications the Democrats
Of Sussex viii agree upon Joseph II.
Holland. Of this town, as the candidate
for Governor. Mr. Holland has many
warm friends in both Kent and New
Castle. and with a little effort they can
secure his nomination.
His friends are pointing out his many
elements Of fitness. He Is self-made,
we'll educated and a good business man,
having amassed a comfortable fortune
out OF mercantile pursuits without win
ming the ill-will OF anyone.
Mr. Holland has always remained
loyal to his party, supporting Mr.. Bry-
an in both of his campaigns. and al
ways being ready to make a sacrifice
for his party.
The slate that these friends Of Mr..
Holland have fixed up gives the Attor-
ney-General to New Castle county. and
the Congressman to Kent IL is said
that Mr. Handy VIII get the second
place and Alexander NJ. DAILY the third.
This would leave the three other OH
ces, Insurance Commissioner, Auditor
and State Treasurer TO be distributed
where they would do the most good
1t is said that the old mansion where
Mr. Holland resides Is destined 10 have
another governor for an occupant
Daniel Rodgers lived there, and later
Peter +. Causey had Il as his residence.
IL would be satisfactory to Mr.. Hol-
lands friends 20 see another Chief Ex-
ecutive esconced in the old mansion.

no ground for complaint. Upon the ex-
tent to which their influence and ex-

Sac Troops Are InteIIIaent.

Nevertheless, the assembly of so
large a body Of troops who are only
partially accustomed to the restraints
of regular Army discipline and method
is a project which even the most loyal
friends OF the National Guard will con-
template with a certain degree of anx-
iety. The State troops assigned to the
maneuvers at Manassas are as a rule
intelligent, self-respecting, law-abiding
young men. representing the best FAM
lilies of their home communities. but as
invariably happens I'm a gathering Of
such numbers, be IL military or civil,
there will be some members who are
lawless or mischievous and unruly and
who. unless firmly restrained. will so
conduct themselves as to bring re-
proach upon the organization TO which
they belong. Camp life, even for
week or two, offers many temptations
to such men. They too often look upon
the encampment as a sort OF holiday
outing, during which they may enjoy
themselves. without regard for the
rights or property of the neighborhood
in which they are assembled, and the
result in some cases has been to bring
the offenders and their blameless COM
rades into disrepute. Too many en-
.campments of State troops have been
attended by acts of rowdyism and de-
struction on the part of undesirable
members which have aroused an un-
reasonable but powerful opposition
among property holders TO the further
use of their lands for such purposes.
Encampments OF Regular and state
troops assembled for joint maneuvers
have not been wholly free from such
abuses, although the enforcement OF
Army discipline in such gatherings has
served as a wholesome restraint. What
is needed in the National Guard and
what it is gradually developing is a
correct understanding of the serious
purpose for which the maneuvers are
intended. The guardsman, be he officer
or enlisted man, who regards the ma
neuvers at Manassas as a species Of
picnic or field sports is not 1T either
for the Army or the National Guard.
He lacks the zeal, obedience and APP
pleation which ara Indispensable quail
tiles Of a good soldier And unless he
combines with these attributes an abid-
ing respect for himself and for the
rights and belongs of the people among
whom he is operating, he is menace
to the Service and should be expelled
forthwith.
Conduct of Soldiers Will be Watched

shall observe the conduct Of the state

most Of the speakers could not find
words bitter enough to express their
opinion of the mayor.
The most striking thing about the
speeches was that the resolutions of
condemnation were introduced by a
city salaried employe, John Delaney,
who is a member of the board OF IL
censing engineers. The resolution de-
clared that Mayor Harrison would not
allow the law regarding the licensing
of steam engineers to be enforced.
