LEVY COURT
APPROVES ROAD
Will Assist WOrkhOuse TruS-
tees in Building New
Highway

The Levy Court to-day formally ur-
copied the offer Of the trustees OF the
News Castle County worlkhoIsc to
build a road from Prices Corner to
Greenbanl The worlhouse trustees
appeared before the court and, explain
ed that It was their desire to furnish
all the labor and material for the road,
the Levy Court to supervise the work
and to lay three culverts. This plan
being satisfactory to the court. the
proposition OF the trustees was reduced
to writing and the trustees authorized
by the court to proceed with the work
at once
The new road win have an eight
inch stone foundation and win be built
by convict labor. twill cost upwards
of $4,000.
The suggestion that the county em-
ploy a supervisor to assist Highway
Commissioner Price in the construc-
ton OF the road was objected to by
several members Of the court because
OF the expense involved. II is proo-
able, therefore. that a supervisor VIA
not be appointed. Before leaving the
trustees invited the court to meet with
them on the second Tuesday in Octo-
ber. The invitation was accepted.

NEW YORK. Sept. s4.-Four hum
dred special deputy sberins. armed
with bags. clubs and revolvers furn-
ished by Sheriff Hayes, a follower Of
the leader chase through Tammany
Hall, may precipitate trouble at the
polls when they are opened for pTi-
mary balloting this afternoon. This
is the first time in many years that
deputies have been sworn in. Here
tofore the police have been sufficient,
but as they are under the control of
Mayor Mcclellan and his commission
er. General Bingham, Tammany
claims they are used to oppress Tam
many workers. So the Tammany
sheriff has named the deputies. Bing-
ham declares If they interfere with Lis
police there viii be Things Doing"
while HAYES insists he is the chief
law officer of the county and his men
are superior to the police.
The Bowery was a busy spot this
morning. Here gathered members Of
the Humpy Jackson. the Yakey Yake,
the Paul Kelly and the other gangs
whose services are always at the dis
posal Of the highest bidder and suspi-
cious bulges about their clothing in

and heavy calibre pistol were where
they could be called on quickly when
needed. All were flush and there was
a display Of high denomination treas
ury notes that would have made a
good showing in a small bank. For
these thugs. who have a price for
beating up and even killing, are not
cheap and it costs money to retain
them. They will vote many times
during the afternoon and night AMI
their ballot will have much 70 do witt
deciding the contests in these districts
Tammany has a fighting chance OF
the p of the 33 election districts OF

force of the administration behind
them have fought hard, but every.
thing points TO their practically com.
plete overthrow. Mcclellan himself
claims victory in but nine districts
Sitting in Tammany Hall this morn
ing. Charles Murphy declared h'
would carry nearly every district.

General T. c. duPont's handsome
yacht Tech" had a narrow escape
from being completely wrecked during
the cyclone which visited this section
yesterday afternoon.
The yacht having aboard Mrs. du-
Pont and a party Of friends was re-
turning from a trip 90 the jamestown
Exposition. General DUPONT came up
on the Tech as far as Annapolis. but
there went ashore. leaving the party to
return TO Wilmington by boat. The
VOYAGE up the Chesapeake was rough
and threatening weather prevailed all
yesterday. All went well, however.
until the yacht was nearing the pivot
bridge across the Delaware and Chesa-
peake Canal near St. Georges. About
315 o'clock Captain J. u. Graham was
at the wheel on the upper deck when
he heard a whistling noise, resembling
that made by an approaching cyclone.
Looking ahead he saw the storm ad-
vancing with full force. Trees were
uprooted and went flying across the
narrow stretch of water Realizing the
danger that the yacht was in, Captain
Graham lSnelt to the leeward side Of
the wheel and rang to the engine room
to proceed under one bell. His orders
were not given a moment too soon.
as in another instant the storm struck
the craft IN full force. The gale,
blowing from the southwest struck the
Tech amidships on her starboard side
and within a few seconds she was
careening on her port side against the
bank of the canal
All Hands On Deck.
"Ali hands on deck and make fast

Bank. which bought the entire bond
issue. should attend 20 the registering
OF the bonds. and II IS likely that a
resolution 70 this effect will be adopt
ca by the court laters The suggestion
that the issue be registered came from

After New York
BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.

~ A-A| eO1Ae-NfAAA . 0R1NidA WIZ
WASHINGTON. Sept. 24-Navy De-
Dartment officials take issue with the
poets. They say there is much in a
name and in proof point to their great
difficulties in naming one of the new
monster battleships after the FIRST
State of the Union" when there is al
ready in existence the Cruiser New
York.
Just as one order had been prepared
changing the cruisers name to Sara
toga, the officers and men Of Samp-
sons old flagship in the naval battle
that destroyed the Spanish fleet claim
ed that not only would a great injury
be done. but the accuracy of history
would be impaired. The secretary Of
the navy recognizes the justice of the
claim and admits the confusion that
might later arise. 1t is likely that
Congress will be asked to legislate IN
this special case naming the new ship
Empire State" probably Under the
present law battleshiDs must be named
after States and cruisers after the
cities. No two vessels bear the same
name for obvious reasons and the de-
partment has been perplexed over the
question for months.
