IS ANYBODY'S
BOY MISSING
Guard Finds Clothing Along
Creek Bank and Fears
owner is Drowned
LAD MIGHT HAVE
DROWNED LAST NIGHT

Wha wilmington family has a boy
Of about ten. or an understood of
twelve missing? The park guards at
the Fourth street wharf think some
little chap was drowned last night in
the Christiana Creek in front of the
park. Park Guard John c. Kersey,
patrolling his beat about 7.S0 o'clock
this morning, found a pair Of pants
and a striped shirt the property Of
some small boy. an the embankment,
under a boxed-in tree about half way
between the bridge and the Wilson
Line wharf. but all this morning no
claimant for the clothes, and no per
son in search Of a missing boy had
appeared. Guard Kersey is certain
that the clothes were not there at $50
o'clock last night, as Captain Mason's
coal barge was then anchored near
the place, and he walked over the
Identical spot where he found the
clothes this morning. The guard was
on duty in the park until after 10
o'clock last night, but he sail-a boy
might easily have gone in swimming
and been drowned when he was in
some other part of his beat, and in the
darkness, he might easily have pass
ed the clothes without seeing them.
The water is from twelve TO fourteen
feet deep where the clothes were found,
away beyond a little fellows depth.
The boys have an authorized. swimming
place directly opposite, and they some
times steal swims on this side after dark,
when it is not easy to catch them at il.
The guard thinks that 1t is quite sure
that the boy went in swimming last Night
a. that is when they are apt TO- and Il
would be hard for him 20 go IN unob-
served at a busy place like the Wilson
wharf after daybreak. He does not think
f. likely that the boy ran away without
his clothes in fear OF arrest. for he was
not alarmed or threatened by an officer
suddenly discovering him, and knowing
that the guard did not see him or take his
clothes he would. in al probability have
returned for them before they were dis
covered by the guard He could have re-
GAINED his clothes without trouble in the
dark. and in daylight it is not probable
he could have gotten far away without
any clothes without discovery.
The guard has the clothes IN MS posses
sion. where they may be identified by ans
relatives Of a missing boy. There is q
black. and-white striped shirt, mans
shirt with the sleeves cut down TO ft q
boy. very much torn, especially a Ions
RID down the back. and faded with muci
wearing 10 a grayish tone. The only othei
garment Is a little pair of pants. dark blue

Gil for the 100000 sinking fund loan

meet in the Council chamber to de-
side whether to accept the best bid

against selling the bonds below their

cial institutions present, however

par.
1t was also suggested that the de-
cision of the Superior Court in declar-
ing the last city election illegal and

this had anything to do with it,.

GLASS BRICKS IN FRANCE

Glass bricks are coming into use in
France because they are hygienic sand
of easy make, 1t is said in Harpers
Weekly The glass bricks does not
crumble or receive the noxious ambi-
ent dust found in the worn earth
brick of ordinary manufacture, and
1t can be made OF refuse glass, old
window panes broken bottles and the
like. In the best method the molten
glass is run into moulds capable of
resisting the different heating and
cooling degrees. The finished brick
presents a smooth, impervious surface
This new brick is supplanting the old
brick in walls, pavements, the side walls
and flooring of bathrooms and hospitals
the waiting rooms of railroad stations
and places of similar character. For use
in laboratories it offers the advantage of
being immune from the influence of chem
ical products. In Grenoble, France. and in
Germany Hamburg and Berlin) houses
are being built entirely of glass bricks
In Dresden and in other cities OF Sax
ony they are coming into use in theaters,
museums and other public buildings. In
Hamburg they are used in meat markets,
where they convey an impression of daz-
zling purity. In Milan the hospitals. have
adopted their use and the schools use
them because rooms walled with glass
bricks receive more light.
