ice bound HARBOR
UPPER ATLANTIC COAST HAD AN
ARCTIC APPEARANCE.
Ice Floes Completely Filled the Har-
bor-Bie Liners Had Trouble in Get.
ting Through-Several Steamers
Have Narrow Escape-Delaware
River Full of Ice.

New York, Feb. 6-Ice foes COM
pletely filled New York harbor Sun
day, completely rendering the passage
OF vessels into and out of the port
SLOW and difficult In the narrows the
Ice pack was SO dense that even the
powerful transatlantic liners had trou-
Bile in forcing a passage. One of the
serious results of the presence of vast
noes In the lower bay during the past
four days has been the breaking and
carrying away of great numbers of
spar and can buoys in the various
ship channels. Captains of coastwise
steamers and Sandy Hook pilots have
reported a number of narrow ESCAPES
| from grounding caused by the displace-
ment of buoys.
All the steamers of the sound fleet
have arrived safely, although several
hours late. Their captains reported
that heavy ice was encountered
| throughout the sound, and that naviga-
ton was barely possible On several
occasions the fleet of New York bound
steamers was compelled to unite and
attack the ice in wedge formation. Ow-
ing to change in the wind the North
and East rivers were comparatively
| clear of ice during the day, and the fer
ries were operated with little Interrupt
iton.
Narrow Escape of Crew of 80.
Lewes, Del, Feb. 6.-Thirty men
narrowly escaped drowning Sunday in
the icy waters of the Harbor of Ref
uge at the Delaware breakwater and
after being rescued with the greatest
difficulty by the crews of two tugs
they were forced to make their way
to shore afOOt over the heavy ice foes
with which the Delaware river and
bay is blocked. The men whose lives
were imperiled were Captain Jacobs
and his crew of 20 men of the Phila-
delphia city iceboat No. g. which made
its way from Philadelphia in an effort
to make channel for vessels ice
bound at the breakwater
The iceboat collided with the sunken
barge Santiago the masts and buOys
of which had been carried away by the
ice jam. The icebOat had become
wedged in the mass of ice between the
Harbor of Refuge and the old break
water and was unable to proceed
While drifting in this manner the ice
boat struck the barge and large hole
was stove in her hull. Captain Jacobs
signals of distress were answered by
the tugs Teascr and Boxer. The tugs
experienced much difficulty in reach
ing the rapidly sinking iceboat. The
ice jam prevented the tugs from dock
ing and the crew of the iceboat. after
being taken off, stiff from exposure
and nearly exhausted, managed to
complete a perilous afoot across the
ice fields to shore
Navigation is almost at standstiI
on the Delaware because of the ice
which is jamming from the stream
from Trenton, N. j., to Breakwater
and extends nearly 10 miles out to sea.
There is a large fleet of vessels of all
kinds at the breakwater unable to
make any Roadway against the jam.

ENSLEYS GROWTH
 VERY GRATIFYING There are 5000 People on the
 PayroIIs THE POPULATION IS 15,O0O Mayor N. w. Scott Predicts That the Population Will Be Doubled In Five Years-school Census
 Shows Great Increase.
THE POPULATION IS l5,OOO

Ensley August 23.-(Special) 1.-The state ment in yesterdays Age-Herald that the school census just taken in Ensley showed a population of 4995 was erroneous in that the figures given applied to the school census or number of school children in the school age. and not to the popula- ton of the city. These figures are estimat- ed and may vary from the official report to be issued in a few days.
 "Ensley's population will easily reach 15000," said Mayor N w Scott today. 'The payrolls in our manufacturing plants show an enrolment of 5000, most of whom reside in the city limits. The increase in population during the last five years has been something marvellous, and the next census will be a surprise to every one not acquainted with the town and its won derful prosperity.
 "The school census just taken shows a total of about 5000 children of school age over last year.
 "The extensions in the plants now locat- ed here that are now being made and un- der contemplation will demand more la borers, and will consequently increase the population of the city. If we get tue new plants that are looking in this direction for suitable location, and feel sure that we will get some of them, the population will be considerably increased.
 ''I would not be in the least surprised to sec the population of Ensley doubled within the next five years

.E SLEY DEP "A R T M E N T E
CITY CLERK TO BE
 ELECTED TONIGHT
A NUMBER OF CANDIDATES ARE IN THE FIELD-siDEWALK IM- PRovEMENT ORDINANCE TO BE CONSIDERED BY COUNCIL.

Ensley, August 2s.--(Special)-Th city council of Ensley will meet in adjourned session at the city hall tomorrow night for the purpose of adopting an ordinance that has already passed its first reading to improve sidewalks on Eighteenth street from Avenue I to Avenue E.
 The matter of electing a city clerk to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Lawrence Pennington, will also come before the board.
 This matter was deferred at the last meeting of the council when MT. Pen nington handed in his resignation, so as to give the members time to look about for a competent man to fill the position and to give those who desired the place a chance to announce their candidacy.
 A surprising number of applicants for the place have developed and the con test tomorrow night promises to be in- teresting. It has been suggested that the office of clerk and city tax collector be consolidated and one man asked to accept both places but no announcement has been made by the council of it's intentions though It is understood that some of the members favor this arrangement.
 The candidates so far mentioned are as follows: A. L. Arnold. R. L. Bozeman, w. A. Ward, Prof C. T. Fuqua and F. D. McArthur.

of having originated the postmark. The

long ago as 1861 was very simple af-
fair, consisting Of small circle divid-

were two letters indicating the month,
while in the lower half the day of the
month was shown. No endeavor was
made to denote the year, and it is only
by the dates of the letters on which the
mark is impressed that it is possible to
fix the date of it's use
