STEAMSHIP. LINE ASSURES
CHEAPER SHIPPING RATES

IN connection with the affairs OF the
Wilmington and New York Transporta-
ton Company. Deputy Collector Of Port
John Titus. when spoken to to-day. said
that the new company would no doubt
prove a success. He declared that
more than s10.00o.OO0 of imports come
TO Wilmington annually, for which the
local customs house receives no credit
The goods are released from bond IN
New York on their arrival there and
then shipped by rail to Philadelphia,
and thence by packets 10 Wilmington
ontailing n heavy expense.
Mr.. Titus said the new company
would probably bond with the govern
ment for the safe delivery Of goods a.
bond. and he expected p. NJ. Cabell, the
president OF the concern. 10 take up the
matter with him shortly. In the event
of the new company doing this it win
be able 20 carry freight IN bond direct
from New York TO Wilmington and
have 1t released by paying the duty
here such a move would greatly In
crease the revenue Of the local customs
house and at the same time also de-
crease the freigbt rates between here
and New York. and the manufactures
and business msar would no doubt take

ESCAPE FLAMES
Family Of Thomas G. RCb.n.
son Driven From Home in
Their Bare Feet

Driven fro mhome by the onrush Of
a fire which totally destroyed their
dwelling place and with the mercury
below the freezing point, was the
thrilling and unpleasant experience OF
the family of Thomas G. Robinson, on
Monday night last
Mr.. Robinson lived on the Dunbar
farm near Iron Hill with his wife and
four children. on Monday evening
while he was at the farm Of a neigh
Dor his wife, after having put the lit
tie ones to bed, was. startled by the
sound Of a rushing noise proceeding
from the FIRE place. Upon going out
doors she was Mortified to find the en-
tire upper story Of her home in a blaze,
the flames having originated from a
defective fiue.
SaveI Her Children.
The first thought Of the mother was
for her little ones. as with a cry Of
distress she rushed back into the burn
ing building and hurrying them out OF
bed threw about them such clothing
as she could Immediately gather to-
gether. Not daring to take time to put
the children's shoes on them she led
them from the house and barefooted
directed them 70 the home Of a neigh
Dor.
In the meantime assistance had come
and by heroic efforts the furniture on
the first floor was carried to a place
Of safety. but that on the second floor
was totally destroyed, as in an incred-
IDLY short space Of time the house was
burned TO the ground. Beyond the
furniture about S22 in money fell vic
tim TO the flames also.
Neighhors Lend Assistance.
Neighbors in vicinity of the unfortu-
nate family did all in their power to as
/ sist in relieving their immediate needs

merchandise store at Iron Hill. provid-
I ed the children with clothing. while
John Denver, living nearby took the
7 homeless family to his home. Mr.
/ iNackey. who occupies the tenant house
on the farm, also lent material aid.
The burned house was a large bricl
mansion costing originally $500 and
upon which there was an insurance of
$1,000. Mr.. Robinson carried on insur-
ance on his household goods He was
to have moved on March 25, as the
property had been recently purchased

COMPTROLLER
WAITS INCREASE
Thinks Salary Of His GfiiCs
Should Be Placed at
$1,000

Robert McFarlin, president of Levy
Court, several members of that body,
sylvester D. Townsend. Jr.. court at
torney, and County Comptroller Phil
emma Chandler are in Dover to-day in
the interest of proposed legislation
among which is q bill increasing the
salary of the county comptroller from
$1,000 to $4,000 and that OF his clerk
from $500 20 $1,000 per annum.
This bill was introduced into the
Legislature yesterday and MT Chand-
Ter viii use ever yeffort to secure it's
passage. He claims that inasmuch as
the present salary was fixed a number
of years ago and as the work Of his
office is steadily increasing his COM
pensation should be increased accord
ingly.
The bill in which Levy Court is par
ticularly interested is the measure pro-
viding for a 100000 bond issue by the
county for good roads purposes. and
which will be introduced probably to-
day SO clamorous has the public be-
come for good roads in New Castle
county that Levy Court feels itself jus
tilted in pressing for a bond issue, as
in no other way does It seem possible
to attain the end desired.

FOUND DEAD, MAY
HAVE BEEN MURDERED

with the finding Of the body Of Jehn
Gibbs. roiored weitering in its gore at
Brandywine Springs yesterday morning
and It's subsequent removal to the morgue
persistent rumors have found circulation
which. II proved true. win result in the
authorities Of New Castle county having
another case Of murder on their hands.
Since the discovery OF the body. ana an
examination Of the shastly wounds in It's
head. the theory of foul play has gained
ground. strengthened by tn fact that at
the time the body was found there was
absolutely nothing OF value upon IT, while
g. Is a conceded fact that the man, who
was an Industrious farm laborer earning
good wages. was known TO have at all
times a considerable amount Of money In
his possession. It is contendcd that it
would have been impossible Tor Gibbs to
have crawled to the place where his body
was found after receiving the injure
which later caused his death.
To-day Deputy Coroner Nichols viii
visit the scene Of the gruesome find. and
viii conduct a rigid Investigation. taking
especial pains TO interview the man last
seen in the company OF the unfortunate
negro.
The authorities seem to be reluctant in
expressing an opinion Ia the case, stating
that it is not their desire to commit them
selves until the completion Of an investi-
gation. In the meantime thu body will
remain at the morgue until such time as
the relatives. if there are any, Shall come
forward and give It decent interment.
