Small svvindlers at Work.

What are known as "the change" robbers have again commenced opera tions in Pensacola. their first victim being the Crystal Pharmacy, from which &4.S0 and . b0-cent bottle of witch hazel was secured.
 The men working the sch eT1e tele- phoned the pharmacy early last night to send 6 bottle of witch hazel, to cost 50 cents at once to Mir. Smith, re- siding at the corner of Gregory Street and Tenth Avenue, and also to send change for $5. This was done, and when the delivery boy reached the house designated, he was met at the gate by a negro, who said he would take the package and moaey. and bring the change. This was the last seen of the negro, although the police made very thorough search of the entire section.
 The robbery Is the first of this na- ture to occur since those of six months ago, when many merchants were fieeced by such methods.

Recent investigation of the progress Of
the work in the Delaware river channel
develops the fact that the SO-foot channel

completed December 81. In fact. several
months may elapse before dredging and
rock drilling work will be finished
Lieutenant Colonel James c. Sanford
was In charge Of the Delaware river wo. u
until the present year. when he was re-
lleved by Major Herbert DeakyDe.
lt has been learned that there has been
serious delay in completing the work on
Schooner ledge, The gfeat rock ohstruo.
tiOn in the Delaware near Chester.
In the earlier stages OF this extensive
work of rock removal, done under Col
onel Sanford. the big drill plant Cen
eral Newton. having more than dozen
individual drills, was employed. This
plant did the heavy work Of rock cut
ting. sinking its battery of drills stimuli
taneously.
Following the removal of the rock thus
blasted IL was necessary to blast or the
many small points that would naturally
still rise above TO the thirty-foot level
after such an operation. Instead Of con.
tinuing the General Newton on the worl,
this plant was withdrawn several week.
