MISSING MARvlN SOY NOT FOUND
Rumor of His Recovery In Woods
Near Ills Home Incorrect.


Rumor of His Recovery In Woods
Near Ills Home Incorrect.
Dover, Del, March 30.-The report
that Horace n. Marvin, Jr., had been
found in a woods near the home of his
father at Kits Hammock near here,
has been found to be incorrect. Word
was received here saying that the boy
had been found, and the detectives
who have been working on the case
for almost a month started for the
Marvin home. When they arrived there
they found that the rumOr was with
out foundation.
The report probably gained circula-
tion from the fact that the Logan
school house, near the Marvin home,
was broken into and was practically
torn inside out by some unknown per-
sons. This is the school at which Miss
Lucy Killen, the young woman who
was held up on Tuesday night by two
men whom she came upon suddenly, is
the teacher. Pinned to the blackboar
in the school room was a note whiC

Beware! You tOld!"
When Miss Killen came upon the
two men they were talking about the
kidnapping of the Marvin child, and
they drew revolvers and threatened 10
kill the girl if she breathed to any
person the conversation she had acci-
dentally overheard.
The detectives got a statement from
Miss Killen, and they profess to be-
lieve that the two strangers know
something about the missing child, il
they are not the actual kidnappers.

still awaits solution. The great
cities of the so-called civilized ma
tons proceed ON the assumption
that for them, at least, it is
solved. But a little reflection
will show that the sewer system
is malleshift. To dump into
the ocean every year Tor into the
rivers to be carried into the
ocean, fertilizer to the value of
hundreds of millions of dollars,
is a waste that will be endured
only as long as it must be en-
dured. How to avoid the waste

tility of which we rob it land rob
mankind) is a question that will
become more urgent as the pop
ulation of the globe increases.
Take a simple example. Since
the completion of the Chicago
drainage canal the sewerage of
Chicago, which was formerly
poured into Lake Michigan, is
now diverted to the Mississippi.
and along with that of ST. Louis
and a hundred smaller cities
above and below St Louis, is car
ried to the Gulf. Here alone is
a waste of probably 500, 100000
per annum, and it is only a drop
in the bucket.
But for thousands of smaller
towns all over the country, the
city sewer system with its obvi-
Gus advantages and its enormous
waste is out of the question, and
an enlightened public opinion
condemns the methods hereto

tragedy.

John B. Williams, a fireman on the Cotton Belt Railroad was scalded to death under his engine near New Lew isville. He was firing on a freight en- zine which had broken down, and an- other engine had been brought to pull the disabled one on to a sidetrack in order to let a passenger pass by. In some manner the engine was over- turned, and Williams, who was alone on it at the time, was hurled against the top of the cab and knocked uncon- scious, and when found was lying in boiling steam and water, which had escaped from the overturned boiler. He was cooked to death when found.
