DARING PLOT FOR JAIL DELIVERY
Scheme to Force Ppen New Castle
County Workhouse at Greenbank.

Scheme to Force Ppen New Castle
County Workhouse at Greenbank.
Detected in the act of trying to
force his way into the workroom at
the New Castle County workhouse
at Greenbank, William Jackson,
colored, was shot early Saturday
morning by Guard Parkhill. HIS
subsequent capture brought to light
a daring plot for a Jail delivery.
AS result of the discovery, Jackson
is at a hospital under police sur
veillance, George Jones is locked up
at the police station as an accomplice
and several confinement and will be
questioned as to the part in the
plans. Warden Leonard Crawford
several days ago learned there was
a scheme on foot whereby several
prisoners hoped to escape. He
posted guards to be on the watch for
any move and Jackson's capture was
the result. Jackson was released
from Jail on Thursday. He, with
Jones, a former prisoner, and
third man, who also had been in
prison, had, it is alleged, planned
with several of the prisoners before
leaving the institution to make an
opening whereby they and several
others could escape. Jackson, Jones
and the third man were to get
several saws and revolvers to the
prisoners and the latter were then
to saw their way out and, if detected,
to fight the guards. jackson went
to the workhouse and climbed on
the roof of a one-story structure
from which he could open a window
in the workroom and place the
revOlvers and saws inside, where
the prisoners could get them when
they went to the workroom in the
morning. Guard Parkhill was on
watch, and when he saw him fired a
shotgun, the entire charge taking
/ effect in Jackson's hip. The mar
dropped from the roof, however, anC
ran as far as Brandywine Springs,
where he fell. Companions who
were waiting placed him on a trolley
car for Wilmington, then ran away
They said nothing to the crew as t
how the man was injured, and he wa!
unable to talk until Sunday when h'
revealed the whole scheme, anC
Jones arrest followed. Taken t.
the hospital, Jackson positivel!
identified Jones as his companion
Jackson had three revolvers will
him, many cartridges and bundl
of II saws of the finest steel. On
revolver was found on the roof o
the building where he was shot an
the saws were found on the ground
The other weapons and ammunitio
were found in his pockets. Whe
shot jackson had a bottle of whisk
in his hip pocket and the shot brok
this, driving the glass into his body
His wounds are serious and tn
result cannot be predicted by tn
doctors at the hospital. Warde
Crawford has yet not determined wh
or how many PRISONS in the work
t huse were implicated in the plot.
short time ago two men were caugl
in the act of digging their wa
through a wall from the workroom.

PLANS OF GREAT SHIPS.
Two of Ponderosity Type Will Soon
Be Started.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-Designs
for the two new battleships authorized
at the last session of Congress prob
ably will be completed and approved
by September 10. The plans for the
vessels are now being completed in the
light of the developments of the re-
cent conference of naval officers at
Newport. Some suggestions of changes
were made at that conference and the
changes now are being incorporated in
the designs. 1t is said that the
changes are not radical, but, in the
view of the naval constructors, are ma
terial to the new ships.
Upon completion of the plans they
will be submitted to President Roose-
welt for approval, and it is expected
that by the middle of September pro-
posals for the construction of one of
the ships will be advertised for The
other ship is to be constructed at the
Brooklyn navy yard by the govern
ment. Pending completion and APP
prevail of designs for the ships, which
will be identical, no work will be done
at the Brooklyn navy yard in prepare
ton for the construction Of the vessel
which is to be built there. This ship
will be the Florida. Her sister ship,
the Utah, viii be constructed at some
private yard.
The main battery of the new ships
is giving the Navy Department con-
cern. a strong effort is being made
to induce the authorities to equip the
vessels, in their main batteries, with
thirteen-inch guns. 1t is not improba-
bic that this caliber of gun viii be
selected although it is urged that the
life of guns of that caliber is compare
lively so brief as to render the adop-
ton of so heavy gun as unwarranted
bv all experience.

All on the China seas,
With capstan free and the helm alec
To catch the summer breeze.
Twas Captain Porgee on the deck,
To the mate in the mizzen hatch
While the DO sun bold in the for ard

Was winding the larboard watch
How heads our noble craft tonight
How steers our gallant craft?'
'She heads to the North South East by

Come, sailors, take your marlin spikes
And each Delaying pin;
Oh, stir your stumps and man the pumps
Or the water will rush in.
We stirred our stumps, we manned the

We spliced that good main brace;
Aloft and allow we worked, but, oh,
The water came in apace
We bored a hole below her line
To let the water out,
But more and more with terrible roar
The ocean in did spout.
Then up spake the cook of our gallant

And he was a lubber brave:

SOME INTERESTING
HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Toward the end of the season when the
green corn becomes too old to serve on
the cob or to cut down, it may be used
as fritters or even the more delicate corn
pudding. Here are two excellent recipes:
To every pint of grated corn pulp allow
one scant cupful of milk. two tablespoon
fuIs of flour one-half a teaspoonful of
salt, q dash of red and the same of black
pepper.
Another recipe is to mix pint of green
corn with three tablespoonfuls of milk.
a teacup of flour, half a teacupful of
drawn butter, A teaspoonful of salt, half
a teaspoohful Of pepper and one egg.
When fritters are to be made. fry the
batter in lf6t butter. If corn pudding is
preferred, bake the batter in tin pie
plates. well buttered, IN a hot oven.
In the cool evenings of this last month
of summer outings the hearth fire IS again
welcome, and parties for gathering drift
wood are delightful among the fast-short-
ening days along the shore. Many sum-
mer visitors freight home barrel or two

this purpose, and great many may be
stored away in the odd hooks and cor
ners of trunks and packing cases. They
are so light that dress suit case. or tele-

gift of this kind is that to the DossessOr
