STEAMBOAT SINKS
At PHILADELPHIA
The Delaware, Members of
Grew Say, Fills From
Old Leak.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2S-The
steamboat Delaware of the Trenton
Transport alton Company sank in the
Delaware river at Ches' nut street wharf
today.
The boat filled rapidly with water
from a leak which members OF the
crew say was known of three weeks
ago, and went down despite strenuous
efforts made by passing hawsers under
heI stern and bow.
The crew Of eight men and Two young
nieces of Chief Engineer John Luna,
who were on board, managed TO reach
the wharf safely.
The boat, which piled between Phil
adelphia and Trenton, had been loaded
With a valuable miscellaneous cargo,
including several thousand dollars
worth Of perishable freight, besides a
heavy shipment of copper wire. Very
little of the cargo was saved.
The Delaware was a boat of l5O tons
burden, 115 feet over all and % feet 6
inches beam. 1t did not carry passeng-
ers.
Preparations were made Immediately
by the company to raise the vessel.
The hawsers, which were fastened about
each end of the boat, apparently pre-
vented IL from sinking to the bottom of
the river, ard il is expected that with
the aid of cranes the boat can be rails
ed within the next few days.

committee all the information he has
about the most successful way of hold
ing a floral parade.
Down to Work.
After Mr.. Schnorr's talk. the commit
tee will get down TO work on the prob
lens Of finances and deciding upon a
route for the parade. There is prob
ability that the latter may be deter
mined in it's entirety, although 1t is
generally anticipated that several meet
ings viii have to be held before a finan-
cial scheme can be worked out and put
into execution.
Reports will be made hy practically all
the chairmen Of the subcommittee to-
night, and some interesting data will be
laid before the meeting. 1t is expected
active steps may be taken the latter
part OF this week to begin carrying out
many OF the plans that have already
beer partly determined upon.
