There will be a conference between a
number OF city officials and the menu
bers Of the Board of Health at o'clock
this afternoon, when the final demands
viii lbe formulated for the prevention
OF the pollution OF the Brandywine in
the neighborhoOd OF DuPont's BatlSs.
II Is said the persons who are RESPONSE
BILE for the nuisance win either have to
meet the tennis to be laid down by the
Board OF Health or be arrested. Il IS
not likely. however. that the latter
course win have 10 be adopted, as the
parbles have shown a willingness 70
carry out the demands which will prob
ably follow the conference today.
The meeting viii be held mt the office
of the Boand OF Health and In addition

Department, and Engineer Romen, OF
the Street and Sewer Department.

inspection along the Brandywine and
found the conditions to be very bad.
The pollution IS said to be the greatest
at DUPONT Banks. and the DUPONT
Powder Company, the Joseph Bancroft
& Sons Company and the Jesus &
Moore Company are held responsible
and the authorities expect these con-
Germs to remedy the present conditions
The city officials are determined e
put a stop to the nuisance and when
their suggestions are carried out tn,
water of this stream Will be purer thar
it has been for many years.
The principal demands to be made
win be that all houses nthat vicinity
the drainage from which at presen'
finds its way into the Brandywine
must be connected with the sewer.
there are no sewers that they can bl
connected with the owners will prob
ably be compelled TO build the sewerl
at their own expense and then MAX
the connections. There viii be othe
demands and the authorities will insis
that they all be put into effect as sooi
as possible. The officials win prObabl.
also insist that the floors of some o
the closets in that vicinity in additio
to being connected with the sewer b

posed demands. One city officer state

In City Court this morning she said
that on her arrival in Wilmington she
felt cold and went into a strange house

leased this afternoon. She did not pay
her fine, but the police took compass

At this mornings session OF the Levy
Court there was another discussion ovE
the bills Of Magistrate George II. Hollis
When the bills Of the various magistrates
and constables were presented Il was
found that Magistrate Hollis bills were

Of 1904 and amounted TO over $500.

that Mr.. Hollis had not presented his bills

over the controversy explaining about tTse
holding up Of Mr.. Hollis bills by Comp
troller Kelley for alleged over charging.
He said he had examined the present bills
thoroughly and found them correct. Mr..
Chandler in answer to a question stated
he did not think there was any law COM
pelling the magistrates to send In their
bills every quarter, but it had been the
custom to do so.
Mr.. Scott said It seemed strange that
Mr.. Hollis should not present his bills for
Tour quarters. He said It looked TO him
IKE a case Of Mr.. Hollis being afraid OF
Mr. Kelley and taelSllng Mr.. Chandler.
Mr. Salmon stated that he believed
everyone thought the present bills are
correct as they had been approved hut
Alr' Hollis was evidently in no hurry for
ne moved that the bills be held up for
one week to get an opinion from the

A FRANCHISE
New Castle Company viii
Fight for Privilege of Lay
ing Tracks in This City
MATTER TO Be TAKEN INTO COURT

Application was made TO the Boafd OF
Street and Sewer Commissioners this
morning by the South Wilmington
Railway Company for a franchise to
lay tracks beyond Market street bridge.
This company is practically the Will
mington, New Castle and Southern
Railway Company. Several weeks ago
the latter concern made application for
the privilege of coming into Whining
ton over its own tracks along the
.causeway by way of Market street
bridge. The request could not be
granted because a franchise to lay
tracks from Market street bridge to A
street is held by the Wilmington City
Railway Company. This franchise was
granted in 1895.
Will Take Matter to Court.
II. L. Evans and Chauncey p. Hol-
comb. of the Wilmington, New Castle
and Southern Railway Company, and
James w. Ponder, their attorney. ap-
lpeared before the Street and Sewer
Board in the interest of the franchise.
They said they would be willing to
take a franchise even with the one
already granted hanging over it and
take the matter 20 court for a decision
They contend that the franchise grant
cd the Wilmington City Railway Com
pany is invalid by reason of the fact
that the company never put dt to prae-
tical use.
A resolution providing for a fran
chise for the New Castle company was
! presented before the board and read
twice and at the next meeting OF ths
/ board Il is likely that It will he adopt.
ed The board viii then allow the two
railway companies to take the matter

SIGNALING UNDER WATER.
Invention Of Immense Advantage
Both to Merchant Ships and
War Vessels.

1.-THE success of the submarine sig,
mailing process is one Of the greatest
triumphs of American inventive gen.
ius,' said Mr.. John Philip Reynolds. OF
Boston, reports the Washington Post.
"By this invention messages are sent
for long distances under water as cas-
lily as telegraphic dispatches on land.
The water is a much better medium
for the transmission Of sound than air
by virtue of it's greater density, and un-
der it sound travels four times as fast
as through the atmosphere. The advan-
tages. both to merchant ships and war
vessels, of submarine telegraphy arc
tremendous. The merchantmen in a
heavy fog gets word from the lightshin
that gives him his precise location and
keeps him from pounding to pieces on
the rocks. In time of war the submarine
craft can communicate by the Morse al
phabet with every friendly battleship.
and the vessels of feet can keep In
constant touch with each other.
"This system of signaling has been
taken up by Canada with more alacrity
than by any other government, and the
Dominion has appropriated large sum
to its installation. 1t would seem that
it's utilization by all the great naval
powers is q matter that cannot be long
delayed"

THE VALUE OF cLYcERIN.
In Cold Of Winter and Chill Of Spring
! Of Ine5timable Value in
Soothing Skin.

Nothing is better for chapped hands
than mixture of glycerin and olive oil
in equal proportions. The softness of the
oil takes away the smarting property OF
the glycerin. To make glycerin Jelly
equal to that sold, and quite pure, dis
solve a one-ounce packet Of table gela-
tine In little water; then whisk 1t into
pint of glycerin. 1t can be colored with
cochineal. Pour into pots. II too stiff
add more glycerin. An ounce packet Of
gelatine stirred into four ounces of gly-
cerln after being softened with water
will cause the gelatine to set like stiff
glue. This, cut into squares, is excellent
to use in throat troubles. A tin of con-
densed milk, four ounces of glycerin.
two ounces Of honey and half pound
of sugar make honeyscotch nice to
take, and very nutritious. II a laxative
is required, two teaspoonfuls of glycerin
swallowed warm at intervals of an hour
are what is needed. AS cure for indi-
gestion a teaspoonful of glycerin after
meals is perfect cure. For pimples,
flowers Of sulphur mixed with glycerin
is splendid remedy. For earache, q
few drops of warm glycerin poured into
the ear soothes and heals, and equal
parts of belladonna and glycerin mixed
and rubbed round the ear will soothe
the pain IL severe.
