Company. of New York and Boston and
they offered to take the entire issue at

loans failed. so did the city fail to find a
purchaser for to-day's issue.

ANOTHER FAIR
MAY BE HELD
Local Merchants Want II
Exclusively for This
City'S Business

A meeting of the Mercantile Associa-
tion has been called for tonight by
President j. c. ONeal to consider the
subject of holding a merchants fair
exclusively for Wilmington merchants
at the Horse Show Park. Many mem
Ders of the Mercantile Association are
dissatisfied with the intention to allow
some Philadelphia merchants, through
their local agents, to have booths at
the fair at Brandywine Springs, and
viii consider the holding of a strictly
Wilmington fair at the Horse Show
Park.
It was learned to-day that many
Of the leading merchants are becom-
ing displeased because some of the
Philadelphia stbres are to have booths
at Brandywine Springs. One mer-
chant pointed out that the Whining
ton merchants assumed the risk and
brought about the success of the mer-
chants fair at Brandywine Springs
last year. Now since the success %
the fair IS assured many of the Will
mington merchants thin that the big
Philadelphia stores should not be per-
mitted to step i'm and have booths and
compete with the local merchants who
.shouldered all the risk last year.
While the committee of the Board
of Trade that has in charge the
Brandywine Springs fair has decided
TO mae it a home trade fair" it was
pointed out to-day that local agents
or representatives of some Philadel'
phia stores have been granted space
and this is objected to by some of tbs
Wilmington merchants.

FLOOR
FOR A BRIDGE

Washington street bridge is TO be
strengtheued to permit the laying Of a
concrete top on the structure Engineers
of the Edge Moor Bridge Company are
examining the bridge to-day TO ascertain
just what work viii have TO be done on
the structure before the new roadbed can
be laid.
The bridge was built 10 accommodate
only light traffic, but since the develop
ment of that section Of the city the coun-
ty has permitted the city Railway Conn
pany 20 lay it's tracks on the bridge.
Now there ,games a demand for a
stronger structure, and whatever Inn
provements are suggested hy- the engt
neers TO strengthen the bridge will be
carried out. Then a cement top will take
the place OF the present worn-out wooden
top.
1t is probable that the Levy Court will
have the work finished this year.

MALLOY LAD
STILL MISSING
Brandywine River Has Been Dragged, Gypsies
Have Been Sought and Clues Run
Down, Without Avail

morning that because one Of the Ital
ian employees Of the Delaware Mining
and Granite Company had failed to go
to work at the old Thatcher quarry,
the boy had been Kidnapped by him,
but the man was found and this story
was exploded. 1t was also said that
the baby was seen talking with a
strange Italian on the Peoples railway
bridge,
Searched for Gypsies
Mr.. Malloy hearing that there was
a band of gypsies in camp at Shellpot,
went through that woods, but failed 20
locate the band Of nomads. He has
also searched through the north and
south Brandywine parks, but without
success. This afternoon in launch
he will search out in the mouth Of
the Brandywine creek and the Chris
tiana and Delaware rivers for the body
of the boy.
1t is pointed out that if the boy
was drowned and his body immedi-
ately sank. 1t would have been brought
to the surface before this by the shock
of the heavy blasts made twice a day
in the Quarries of the Delaware Gran
ite and Mining Company This to-
gether with the search made by the
grapplers having failed to bring the
boy to light, has created the impress
sion that the boys body was either
carried out with the tide or he was
not drowned at all.
No Sleep for Maloys
There has been little sleep in the
home of the Malloys since the little
fellow disappeared and unless some
thing is soon learned, Mrs. Malloy
who is suffering all the anguish of a
a loving mother, may give way under
the strain.
When a reporter Of The Evening
Journal called at the Malloy home to-
day, he did not see the boys mother
but just as he arrived Mr.. Malloy was
getting ready to leave the house "a
continue his search for his missing
son.
His wife had just asked him where
he was going and he replied, "God
only knows, I don't" This is the way
he feels over the affair, and a troubled
look is beginning to settle over his
face.

once month in the various schcoIa
throughout the city and have added much
TO The discipline OF the pupils in case a
Gre should break out in one Of the school

trance 20 the building from either Eighth
or Adams streets dt rs necessary to mount
a score or more Of steps.
When the bell sounded I'm the different
rooms the scholars were engaged in thel
studies. Some were in class recltatlons
others at the blackboard. while in but
few rooms the smaller children were sing.
ing the opening song Of the session.

at attention and at a word from thch
teacher formed IN line and marched in al
orderly manner out into the street Tn

larger brothers and sisters bringing u
the rear. Some Of the children had {
march through several rooms and cir
cuitous hall way from the third floor be
. fore the stairway was reached. Ten min
utes after the scholars had gained IN
sidewalk they were back in their room
and studies were resumed.
