HOGS At FARNHURST
FED ON BOILED SLDP

Hogs owned by Superintendent
Blackburn, OF the New Castle County
Hospital, are now fed on boiled slOp
and this diet has been found to be not
only more nourishing but also bene-
fetal to health.
Some two years ago Mr.. Blackburn
had a drove of fine hogs which he fed
on slop from the tables of the institu-
tion, as a result of this, as 1t was later
determined, thirty-two of the hogs
died, the food being too rich for them.
Mr.. Blackburn then set about devising
a means of reducing the richness of
the food without diluting it too great
an extent. Accordingly he purchased
and has caused to be erected a fifty
gallon boiling pot in which the slop is
poured and boiled down and to which
is added a proper proportion of bran.
The pot is located some distance from
the buildings and is supplied by means
of steam pipes from the main boilers.
Mr.. Blackburn has now twenty-five
as fine and healthy hogs as can be
found hereaIbouts.

Cochran
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Martha Valentine, the oomely young
woman, recently arrested charged with
leading an idle and vicious life was to-
day committed TO the Industrial School
for Girls by Judge Cochran sitting in
city Court. She received a hearing in the
early part Of the week but the court re-
served its decision until today.
In committing the girl TO the Industrial
School Judge Cochran said that he was
not actuated by anything the father Of

her to the Industrial School.

CONDUCTOR WAS
HUBLED 80 FEET
Benjamin Lockerman Mar.
rowly Escaped Serious
Injury
ACCIDENT At FOURTH AND KING

Benjamin Lockerman. conductor on
the Peoples Line. was hurled thirty
feet from his car and escaped with but
slight injuries in a collision between
cars Of the Wilmington City Railway
Company and the Peoples Railway
Company this morning.
The accident occurred at Fourth and
King streets and the noise of the coll
lision could be heard several blocks
away. Car No. log OF the city Line
left Fourth and Market streets at $50
O'Clock bound FOR South Wilmington.
The grade az this point is steep and the
tracks were slippery and IN ban condi-
tion. AS the car approached Fourth
and King streets. car No. 80 OF the
Peoples Line came slowly up King
street, picking its way between the
rows Of Market wagons.
STRUCK REAR END.
From what can be learned the signal
TO go ahead was given the Peoples Line
car and the brakes set hard on the
lefty car Owing TO the condition OF
the rails on Fourth street. however, the
brakes failed TO work ana the city car
crashed into the side OF the Peoples
car near the rear platform.
| Lockerman, who was standing on the
opposite side of his car, was hurled
head foremost into the street. cutting
his left arm painfully and twisting his
ankle. Had Il not been for his alert
ness in rolling out of the way he would
have been seriously injured.
NO PASSENGERS ABOARD.
Fortunately there were no passen-
gers aboard the Peoples car at the
time OF the accident and the few people
on the city car escaped with a slight
shaking up. Beyond Lockerman nc
other member Of either crew was in
ljured.
BY the force OF the collision the fen
der of the city car was bent and twist
led and the running board and a small
portion Of the roof Of the car No. 3.
were splintered. The Peoples Line cai
was thrown completely of the traci
and the rear end showed around a dis.
tance of nearly twenty feet. the head
lend being within a foot or so of Cellai
fruit stands. Traffic along the Kinl
lstreet line was delayed for a half houi
when the wreck car put in an appear

NEW CASTLE

LINES PROJECT
Former May Enter Whining
ton by Bridging the Chris
tiana Road
WILL EyTERD ROAD TO SMYRNA

From present indications the cars OF
the wilmington New Castle and
Southern Railway Company win be
seen no more at Fourth and Market
streets. but If its plans do not miscarry
It may operate in Wilmington in
another direction.
Some time ago the company applied
for and received permission to enter
the city by the way of the New Castle
Causeway as far as Front and Market
streets, but so far no steps have been
taken in that direction. Now, however,
| It Is stated the company has another
route In view, which II feasible and
possible win be put in operation as
soon as proper permission can be OBJ
ltained.
CONNECT WITH PEOPLES LINE.
The proposition as now discussed is
10 extend the lines of the New Castle
company from their junction with the
p. & r. Railroad. just outside the city
limits and run along the south side OF
them for a distance of 1000 feet to a
point where Heald street extended
acros the rails.
Here a crossing viii be made either
at grade or by overhead bridge, and
the tracks will be laid If possible. along
Head street to a point near its inter-
section with A street. At this juno
ture a bend to the west will be made
until the Christiana river IS reached.
Here it Is proposed to bridge the
river conjintly with the city, striking
Wilmington possibly at the foot of Pop
lar street. which passes through the
yards of the Pusey and Jones Company
but a portion of which II is said is own
ed by the city.
Up Poplar street to Third It Is pro-
lposed 10 extend the line, along Third
to Orange and UP Orange to the point
of conjunction with the Peoples Line
over which transfers viii be given.
1t has not yet been determined how
the return viii be made, by the sam,
route or by another line yet TO be de.
termined upon.
EXTEND DOWN STATE.
If this plan is put IN operation
which viii require the consent Of IN,

BAY STATE CAS-
AFTER LAWSON
Massachusetts, Supreme
Court Says He Must Give
Accounting
MATTER WILL NOW GO TO TRIAL

Boston. Mass, June 24.-The full
bench of the Supreme Court rendered
decision yesterday that the Bay State
Gas Company of Delaware, has stated
a sufficient case showing liability of
Thomas w. Lawson and Camille Wei
denfeld, former partners in the firm
of Lawson, Weidenfeld & Company,
for an accounting to the company as its
brokers and fiscal agents for a series
of years, If it can prove upon trial
that the monthly accounts rendered by
Lawson, Weidenfeld & Company were
false and fraudulent in many particu-
lars, as is alleged.
The case must now stand for trial
before one judge Of the Supreme Court.
The gas company asserts that the de-
lfendants are indebted to it in a large
lamount upon a correct accounting, and
that the monthly statements of the ac-
counts between them were incorrect
Besides an accounting, it seeks to re-
coved 5O,290 shares Of its stock, 374
Buffalo City Gas Company's bonds and
14O Of the latter company's debenture
bonds, declaring they are its property
DEMURRER OVERRULED.
The court overruled Mr. Lawson's
demurrer to the bill. which alleged that
as matter of law the plaintiffs bill
would not lie because It did. not SET
forth a case for the recovery IL sought
against him; because it was unseason-
ably brought, and also because It did
not join Otis Kimball. who was a part
ner in the firm at the time of the
transactions.
The court says the Bay State Com
pany would appear to be bound by tn,
acts of its officers i'm accepting tn,
monthly accounts which Lawson, Wei
denfeld & Company rendered its ofh.
GERS, who treated them as true, and
would be barred by laches. or unrea.
sonable delay in bringing its suit, bu
the allegations of the bill that J. Ed
ward Addicks, the managing officer o
the Bay State Company, who con
ltrolled the officers, was guilty of fraul
and collusion in the matter will, tn
court says, if proved at the trial. tax
the case out of the statute of limita
tions and afford a ground Of recover,
TO the company.
/ The transactions in which the de
PENDANTS acted as brokers and fisca
agents were in the purchase and sal
lof stocks for the plaintiff.
