TO BRING THIS ABOUT, AT NEWARK \
MEETING, PROVED INTELLECTUAL

bic. inasmuch as the latter had resign
ed. The MODERATOR howver. decided
that the occasion was an "extraordin-
airy one and that his course was prop
en-.
RESOLUTION LAID OVER.
The Rev. Mr.. Lewis was not to be
outdone and he offered this resolution:
Resolved That the Presbytery OF
New Castle cordially recommend the
new book Of common worship for the
voluntary use OF the churches and that
the Presbytery strongly endorses the
new book OF forms to the ministers of
the Presbytery as being the official lit
urgical manual for all those sacred oc-
casions upon which such a manual may
be needed"
The Rev. DR.. Rowan jumped to his
feet and stated that Mr.. Lewis was
seeking by a subterfuge, to have the
same thing adopted that had previous
ly been tabled. He said in an impas-
stoned voice: III you adopt this motion.
so help me- ] will leave the Presbytery
and the religion ] love-"
Il was finally decided after a gem
eral discussion TO lay the matter over
until the spring meeting.
PREVIOUS ACTION RESCINDED.
The Presbytery. at its last meeting
IN ST. Georges. having decided TO ex-
lclude newspaper men from the session.
the Rev. Mr.. Elwood moved that this
action be rescnded. which was done
unanimously.
The committee on ministerial relief
reported that S71450 had been collect
ed during the year and $1,000 paid out.
II was also announced that during the
past year the Presbytery had drawn
$500 for clergymen and $500 for wld-
ows and recommended that the fund
! be increased $4,000.
The Rev. w. II. Logan was appointed
as moderator Of several small churches
( that are without pastors with power to
supply the pulpts. The committee on
foreign missions reported that a vigor-
GUS campaign would be started In the
different churches on November and
lcontnue until November 19.
A letter Of sympathy was sent to the
Rev. Samuel W. Rigart. Of Salisbury
Nd. who was recently Injured In New
York. II was decided to strike the
church at fredericksburg, Md, from the
rolls and the trustees were empowered
to sell the property. II was further re-
ported that the churches at Laurel,
/ Lincoln and Alispillion. Del, should be
disposed of. but no action was taken.
The Preshytery as its concludinc
J business decided that the members
should conduct their own eyanselistic
work. instead Of asking the General
Assembly for aid in this direction.
When the Rev Mr.. Elwood was dis
missed TO the Presbytery OF Kansas, a
resolution was adopted expressing the
sorrow Of the members az his depart
ure. Prayer was also offered for the
departing minister.

WANT TENTH
STREET WIDENED
Many Citizens Opposed to
Sewer Commission Re-
scinding Action
time TO BEGIN IMPROVEMENT

There is a strong feeling among the
citizens Of Wilmington against the re-
scinding of the resolution passed by
the Street and Sewer Department some
time ago. calling for all new buildings
hereafter erected on the north side Of
Tenth street. between Market and Tat
nall, being back some distance from the
present building line. so that Tenth
street VIII eventually be widened.
At the meeting of the Street and
Sewer Department on Tuesday. will
liam 5. Hilles. as counsel for the Du-
Pont Powder Company. appeared be-
fore the board IN regard to the proposed
new building the company intends to
erect al Zenith and Market streets He
stated that his clients either wanted
the department 70 rescind its former
action or compel every property owner
on the uortherIy side Of the street to
move back 90 the new building line.
While the streer and sewer Directors
have cakeu no action on the matter as
yet, the subject Is attracting consider
able attention. The city aould hardly
afford 10 make all the other property
owners move back as they would then
have to buy Up all the fronts.
The people feel that this Is a great
opportunity 10 open up Tenth street
aud if the resolution should be rescind-
81 Il would ruin that prominent
uionoughfare forever. The placing of
Two car tracks there is is argued,
greatly damaged the street, which
otherwise would have been one OF the
most prominent cross town business
streets in the city. r has been sug-
gested on a number Of occasions that
one track be taken 10 and placed on
either Ninth or Eleventh street, but
there IS much objection to sNch a p5en,
as there is a great deal of traffic over
both Of those streets.
" the DUPONT Building is built back
from the present building line. it is the
general opinion that it would not be
long before the entire street to Tatnall
would be widened. All the buildings
vest ot Shipisy are very old now. The
probabilities are that the Pyle Cycle
Academy would soon be torn down and
a model structure erected there. This
would leave but one block to be
wldened and Il the property owners in
that square did not soon follow suit
the city could then condemn the prop
erty.

POWDER MILL EXPLODES
AND SHAKES THE CITY
ROLLING PLANT IN HAGLEY YARD OF THE
DU POINT COMPANY BLEW UP BUT
NOBODY WAS INJURED

The same amount Of powder was being
rolled in the twin mill but thirty feet
away and though the roof of this building
was torn of, the powder remained intact.
The heavy fall Of dew early this morn
ing was probably factor in preventing
the explosion of mill No. IA and possibly
others Powder dust frequently COM
municates a flash from one building 10
another, but the ground being damp when
the explosion occurred, this was precent.
ed. Pieces OF the ioof Of the exploded mill
also frequently fan through the tops Of
other mills, and becoming fastened in the
powder making machinery causes friction
and in consequence explosions. Fortu-
nately this did not occur.
NOT ALLOWED IN THE MILLS.
None of the employees Of the DUPONT
Company were injured simply because
they are not allowed in the rolling mills
while the latter are in operation. The mo-
chinery is started and stopped from the
outside.
William McCrea had charge Of mill no.
is and he was just leaving the Matchbox
during the making Of the shift of men.
when the explosion occurred. \ second
explosion was awaited, but did not come
and the machinery of all the mills was
hastily shut down.
The damage to mill No. ls wiz reach but
several hundred dollars, This being iue 20
the fact that these kind of ngildiags aTc
constructed especially to gaard against
seroius damage from explosions. The reof
is only fastened down and is not sn
actual part Of the structure when an
explosion occurs the force Of powder hay-
ing a tendency to blow upward. Just takes
the roof off and leaves the walls Of the
building intact AS in all other powder
mill explosions the cause OF the anair IS
a mystery.

dons this afternoon recommended that
a reprieve be granted to Boozer until
the third Friday in next March. This
was done in order TO give Attorney
General Richards an opportunity to take
up the case with the Board at that
time for final settlement.
Special to The Evening Journal
Dover, oct 5.-John Boozer alias
Charles w. Thorn, colored. who was
convicted of the murder of Farmer
George ID. Farra, near Wilmington, in
December, 1897, and who was re-
prieved by the Board Of Pardons six
months ago until Friday October IS.
will soon know his fate.
When the board mt in regular ses-
sion in the office Of Secretary OF state
Cahall today, with Lieutenant cover
nor Parker presiding. three important
affidavits in the interest Of the accused
were submitted by his counsel ex-
Judge j. Frank Ball. OF Wilmington.
They establish an alibi for the con-
demned man.
As Boozer asks for an unconditional
pardon, II is believed that the Pardon
Board will either refuse TO Interfere
with the sentence or grant him his lib
erty.
The board went into session at 10
a. m. and at once took up the BoOzer
case. The hhrst afidavit submitted by
eX-Judge Ball was that OF ames b.
MaCaw, Of Norfolk. Va. who states
that he went to Wilmington yesterday
and was compelled to return to his
home last night owing to the violent
illness Of his wife.
Mr.. McCaw is a member Of the bank
ing firm of Cobb Brothers and Conn
PAN in Norfolk. He says that in De-
cember. 1897 when the crime was
committed, he was employed as un-
loading clerk for the Southern Railway
at Pinnars Point. Va. Yesterday ar
ternoon. the affidavit continues, he
went to the New Castle county work
house and i'm company with ax-Judgs
Ball and Deputy Warden Crawford, he
picked out the condemned man from
a group Of five negroes and identified
him as a negro who had been employed
in the unloading gang, during th'
month in question at Pinnar's Poini
under the name OF John williams.
Thomas Stark, yardmaster for th'
Southern Railway at Pinnar's Point
states In his ahdavit that IN Decem.
Der, 1899. he had chsrse Of ihe per.
az that place. He declares that Boozei
was employed at the time OF the MUIR
der in the unloading gang. and that he
Identified him as the John williams
by means OF photographs and certain
descriptions including scars.
August Kuhe. also employed by the
same railway at Pinnars Point. made
a similar affidavit. and states that he
Identified Boozer. or williams. by
means of time checks which he gave
out for the weeks ended December s,
16 and %. 1897.
After hearing these afidavits, the
board took up the additional adidavits
of seven persons (they being relatives.
lneighbors and employees OF the victim)
in which they declare positively that
Boozer is the farm hand who murdered
Mr. Farra.
The board then went into secret ses-
sion and considered the case Of "dou-
BILE identity" at length.
