NEW STATION
And Dangerous Old One New Struc-
lure An Eyesore To The Travelling
Public And Citizens OF Wilmington

Judging from the comment OF the
Wilmington papers much diSappoint-
ment is ielt by patrons OF the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, who have to use the
new station that company is erecting
at French and Fourth streets in that
city. Dissatisfaction is expressed
with the building, which is character
lied rather as an eyesore than an orna-
ment and termed hideous mass of
red bricks without grace or symmetry
1t is also charged that the main en-
trance to the station is dark and dingy,
and will have to be lighted by an art-
fetal illuminant. as will the waiting
rooms, corridors. etc. The various de-
partmcnts OF the new building are said
to be more like caverns than places OF
comfort. The whole thing has de
pressing, rather than a cheerful effect
upon the nerves. While the building is
not completed, there is no promise that
the finishing touches will relieve the
structure of its heavy, gloomy appear
ance. Cecil countians are deeply in
tcrestcd in the matter, as hundreds OF
them use the road weekly. and make
Wilmington their principal objective
point of travel. Next to Elkton, there

pressed with the brief Mr.. Clayton had
prepared and previously sent to him,
covering the facts an extent OF the COM
merce of Elk River and the possible
ties OF the extension thereof through
the means OF an adequate channel and
that he had recommended to Chair
man Theodore Z. Burton, OF the
general Rivers and lIarborS Committee
that the item covering the approprit-
tiOn be included in the Rivers and flar-
bOrS act
Mr.. DOvencr, in company with Mr..
Smith then took MeSSrs. KerfOot and
Clayton to call on Mr. Burton, who
gave them a very pleasant hearing
Chairman Burton said he was entirely
familiar with the condition and needs
OF Elk River from information he had
gained from the brief and representa-
tiOnS that had been made to him and
expressed himself as believing the APP
peal ior Federal assistance worthy
one. and assured McSSrs. kcrfoot and
Clayton that they might rest confident
that the appropriation recommended by
the engineers report would go into the
bill, saying to them. gentlemen, vou
may go home and sleep on it, Lieut.
Col. r. l.. tIoXic, Engineer in charge
oi the Chesapeake Bay section OF the
country also recommended that the
| appropriation be included in the bill
The recommendation oi the engineer
called for an appropriation OF $IoSo2. II
with an annual allowance oi $1,000 for

gresham Smith showed them every
kindness and courtesy in his power and
rendered them very valuable assistance
which McssrS. Clayton and Kcrioot
greatly appreciated

Mr.. and Mrs. Carl McLanc, Of
Cherry Hill, and their family of three
children had narrow escape from be-
ing suffocated on last Saturday night
at their home, as a result OF coal gas
escaping from a stove while they were

and feeling i'll. He Immediately learn
ed what was the cause and started to
arouse his wife and children After
much hard work he succeeded in get

SHOCKING TRAGEDY
IN FIRST DISTRICT
Fair Young Girl Slain BY Her Sweethear---Inquest
Shows The Affair An Accident

moved the body OF the slain girl to his
undertaking establishment at Cecilton
Coroner Nelson then empanellcd the
following jury OF inquest at Cccilton:-

Alexander Wilson, Francis F. Myers,
George w. Padley, Noble p. Ferguson
James A. Cannan. Thomas Pcarce, ].
Frank Burton, George G. Morgan,
John +. Coppagc and John Anderson.
After a thorough investigation OF the
case they at eight o'clock Tuesday
evening returned verdict that Sarah
c. Startt came to her death from an
accidental discharge OF a shot gun in
the hands OF George +. Harris. We,
the said jurors, cXOnerate the said
George E. Harris from all criminal in
tenI.'
The following witnesses were cx-
mined-John +. Warticld, George A.
Savin, James S. STARTS, Charles J.
Stearns. Mrs. Ida G. Starts, George
F. Harris, DIR. Robert NJ. Black. and
Constable George Mlligan.
In finding their verdict the jury re-
queSted the States Attorney to give
Harris lecture upon the use OF fire
arms and in compliance with this re-
quest, MI. Squier made very impress
slve address, dwelling with much effect
upon the terrible results that flow from
the careless and ndiScriminatc handl-
ing of firearms. Harris was visibly al
iccted by Mr. Squicr'S remarks.
1t is thought proper to make the
statement, in view OF the rumors that
have been current, that a most search

I quest and careful autopsy by DR. X
{ NJ. Black failed to disclose the slight
est evidence OF any improper conduct
on the part OF the young girl. For
some months Harris had wanted tc

Horses Died

a sorrel mare belonging to W. T.
Harriott, OF Chesapeake City, driven
by Harold Steele, OF that town, died
at the Howard House stable Friday
afternoon of last week Mr.. Steele had
driven to Elkton, and upon reaching
the livery stable noticed that the horse
seemed sick. He called Taylor Nc
kenney's attention to the condition OF
the animal. who at once advised CON
sulting Dir. Charles r. Bilcs. The Doc
tor was called and did everything pos
Sible to relieve it, but was not able to
save the mare, which died late in the
afternoon. DR.. BilcS pronounced it
case OF strangulated bowel
As DR.. J. II. Jenkins was returning
from a trip to Georgetown, where he
had been to see a patient, one OF the
pair OF horses he was driving showed
symptoms OF being in great distress as
he reached Knights Corner, couple
OF miles this side Of Chesapeake City
From the horses actions it is supposed
that it was attacked with collie. a few
minutes alter DR.. Jenkins noticed the
animals evident distress, it laid down
in the middle of the road, about so
yards from the house at the corner
where some colored people live. The
Doctor with the assistance of Mr..
Price, who came along, managed to get
the horse up and as far as the house.
where they put it inside the yard, where
it fell dead in short time. The horse
belonged to J. r. Little OF the FELTON,
House livery stable.
These are the horses which The
News refers to as reported killed
dragging light vehicles through the
mud on the Chesapeake City road
On Saturday the dead wagon Of
the Union Renderings Company. at
Newport, Del, came to Elkton, drawn
by four horses, and carried away the
carcass of the horse at the Howard
House stable, and was to get the other
one, but did not do SO. This company
makes business OF gathering up dead
horses for their carcasses.

 New Orleans Feb The same old story once over. as soon as futures decline a little spinners call cotton in an Increased measure and stop the decline. Spot prices in Liverpool advanced three points today: sales 5000 bales. and futures are unchanged at one point up against one to two points lower due.
 This showing by the English market checked following here the short side which was about to be we'll patronized and the result was another dull waiting market The visible supply statement for the week is at best indefferent Spinners talking are not as large as expected and less than in 1905. The visible of American cotton would have shown an increase of over 40.doo but for the stock correction at Savannah etc which is not anormal item and must be left out of consideration in the judgment of ten- doncy.
 New York weakened in the last hour but futures here followed only partly as spots did not give way There is pretty good in- auiry in the spot markets; good grades very firm. low grades easier to trade in
