STORM RACES
OVER TOWN
Roofs Torn Away And Barn
Burned

A severe thunderstorm, accom-
panied by high wind visited this
locality Sunday evening between
five and six o'clock. Trees in all
sections Of the town were torn and
twisted, several fences were blown
down, also the large sign on the II.
B. Wright Co. store.
Considerable damage was done
to the Jacob Thomas Wall Paper
factory, where the wind tore off a
large section Of the high tin roof on
the tower. BY the prompt action
Of Dick Thomas. Hans Hieduman,
Del Smith and Sam Heiser, who
happened to be in the factory at
the time, a large amount of the
goods was removed undamaged.
The men went out on the high roof
III the midst of the storm, and by a
few hours hard work effected
temporary repair. The loss
amounted to about $3.50.
The College Campus to early ris-
ers on Monday morning illustrated
the fury of the storm. The ground
was covered with broken limbs of
all sizes, requiring the services of
several men and a team all day to
clear the debris away. One large
limb from a maple crashed into
the woodwork on the outside Of
Recitation Hall, doing considel'-
able damage and making carpen-
try work necessary in the repairs.
Several Of the beautiful trees were
torn and twisted into unshapeG-
ness.
A number of the trees on the
Academy grounds were also badly
broken.
During a second storm later in
the evening lightning struck barn
on the farm owned by II. f. Arm
strong of Newark. The property,
situated on Little Elk, near Lewis
vile, Pa, is tenanted by Elmer
Lewis, who sustained the greater
loss since the contents were unin-
sured. The barn and granary
burned completely to the ground.
The buildings were struck about
ten o'clock and were mass of
flames before any one could get to
them. Fortunately the livestock
was out in the meadow. The loss on
the buildings was covered by in
surance.
The severity Of the storms seem
ed strictly local-both Whining
ton and Elkton reporting only an
average thunderstorm.

machine which can do the work Of
from so to 100 men will be great
labor saver. The steam shovel,
however, goes only to a depth of
Is feet and at some places it will
be necessary to go to a depth OF "
feet, in order to allow the sewage
to flow by gravity to the disposal
plant.
Several large cave-ins have oc-
Cured where the disposal plant is
being built in East Newark. Large
wells are being dug to a depth Of
% feet, and one cave-in was in one
Of these wells where the excavation
was almost complete.
Three Delaware College gradu-
ates in Civil Engineering are en-
gagged on the work. Samuel Knopf,
1912, is inspector for the town,
while Calvin Lenderman and

Air Ship Passes Near Town

Aviator Wood, in his race with
the special train on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, from New York to
Washington, passed about a mile
and a half south of town last Fri
day.
The attention of Arthur Rounds,
On his farm near Welsh Tract, was
attracted by the whirr of the ma
chinery, the sound helping him to
locate the air-ship. 1t was also
seen by several at VIM. Walton s
store, Iron Hill, who stated that
from the distance at which it was
travelling, it looked about six feet
III length.
The air ship passed the Penn
sylvania station, Newark, at 40;
the special train at 7.40. A mes
sage thrown from the train stated
it had run on an average Of Is
miles an hour from outside Phila-
delphia to near Wilmington and at
times had gone as fast as SO miles
an hour.

Visitors arriving from the Penn
Sylyania depot are sure to be I'M
pressed with the fact that things
are doing in Newark. A squad OF
about twenty men has been at
work on South College avenue

ing to the requirements Of the con-
tract must be complete by Christ
mas.
The first sewer pipe was laid yes
tcrday at $50 o'clock, in front OF
the Delaware Ledger building on
South College avenue. The depth
of the trench at this point is 8
feet. In the digging water was
struck at five feet and a pump was
used to keep the water out while
the other four feet was dug.

WIN Inc breaking OF camp last
Saturday afternoon and the begin
ming Of the 17-mile hike to Newark,
Camp Ideal, the Newark Boy
Scouts camp on the Northeast
river, near Charlestown, became
thing Of the past. But it will be
long remembered by the boys for
the two weeks Of good sport en-
joyed there. Further proof Of the
success of the camp was given by
the large number of visitors, all de-
claring themselves delighted with
the camp and the treatment given
them there. And next years camp
is sure to be eagerly looked for
ward to by Scouts and their
friends alike.
The most frequent visitors to the
camp was a flock Of geese. These
increased their familiarity to the
extent Of stealing a loaf Of bread
from the table. 1t was an amusing
sight to see five scouts after one
goose. Only after much persuasion
with their staffs was the goose made
to give up the loaf.
The boys all returned in fine
health, most of them reporting
gains in weight, which speaks well
for Scout cooking.
The second week was busy one
and was enjoyed most. Several
illustrated lectures were delivered
in the evenings by Scoutmaster
Manns. These lectures were :
"Vesuvius and the Uncovering Of
Pompeii''; "Rome and her Places
of Interest temperance lecture,
"The Turning of The Road" "
During the day swimming, boat
ing, signalling and a number Of
Scout activities were engaged in by
the boys. On Monday ten of the
Scouts, with light equipment, made
the trip on foot to Principle, a dis
tance Of three and one-half miles,
the object being to get view of
the iron ore furnaces. Much inter-
est was manifested by the boys in
furnace owned and at one time
operated by an uncle of George
Washington. On Tuesday a geo.
graphical trip was made by boat
across the Northeast river and on
foot over the Peninsula to the Elk
river, distance of six miles, the
object being to get view Of the
river, Of the canal and Chesapeake
City. On this trip the boys carried
rations and cooking kits and pre-
pared their dinner along the way.
A very creditable meal of bacon,
cheese, bread and lemonade was
prepared. The boys enjoyed the
splendid view and the pleasant
tramp and returned at exactly
$50 p. m., the hour agreed upon
to meet the Scoutmaster, who was
on hand with boat to take them
across Northeast river to camp.
On Thursday the entire troop eX-
cept Phil Chillas, who was detail
ed to keep house." made motor
boat trip to Betterton and vicinity.
There were 90 in the party and a

SCOUTS QUALIFY AT CAMP FOR
BADGES OF MERIT
Hike To Homes After Two Weeks Outing

hard to find The trip was entire
ly successful. Fishing and crab
bing were good, about seven dozen
crabs being caught.
Betterton was filled with summer
tourists and the day was ideal. The
Scouts declared the trip worth the
cost of the entire two weeks en-
campment.
On Friday base ball game was
to have been played between
CharlestoWn boys and the Scouts
but when the latter appeared on
the field the Charlestown gang
had evidently experienced an at
tack Of "cold feet" and failed to
put in an appearance. The Scouts
then divided into two teams, known
as the "Highlows" and the "By-
lows" The "IIighlows" won
with a score Of 5 to 2.
The boys also heard the whirr of
the propeller of the aeroplane Of
Marvin Wood, the aviator who rae
ed Pennsylvania flyer from New
York to Washington last Friday.
The plane passed overhead near
the camp.
Saturday afternoon camp was
broken, goods packed and sent
away. After light lunch at 5
o'clock, "Forward March" was the
order given and the homeward
hike begun. The boys started off
at a good pace and with but few
rests kept the gait to Newark, ar
irving here about 1870 p. m.
Those who hiked the entire dis
tance We're: Arthur Chillas, Ray
mond Fader, Newell Reed, Francis
and Earle Lindle, John Hoffecker
and Clarence Evans. The Scouts
were also accompanied on the hike
by Alfred Scott.
Although some Of the boys were
pretty tired before Newark was
reached, they pluckily stuck to it,
refusing a lift and declaring they
had come so far and were going
to walk every step Of the way to
Newark. "
Several miles outside of town a
number Of Scout admirers met the
boys and hiked back to town with
them. Scoutmaster Manns and a
number Of Scouts who had return
ed earlier by train met them and
fell in line, the whole forming a
fair sized company as the boys
marched along Main street to w.
r. Powell's where the order Fall
Out" was given-and the hike was
over.
The encampment has fitted the
boys to pass examinations for merit
badges in several lines of Scout ac-
tivities, namely: cooking, hiking,
camping, swimming, signalling,
boating and canoeing. The discip-
line and patriotic exercises practic-
ed by the boys were especially
valuable features Of the encamp-
ment, making for better citizen
ship.
So here's Good Luck in plenty
to the Newark Boy Scouts. May
they have many good times.

BAND CONCERTS
I'M PROSPECT
Proposition Up To Citizens

Members of Minnehaha Band,
urged by a number of the towns
people, have movement under
way for the erection of a bandstand
where concerts will be given every
Thursday evening during the sum-
mer months.
The country people coming to
the town to do their shopping, as
well as our music-loving citizens,
find too little provided for their
entertainemnt, and the boys are to
be congratulated upon their pub
lic-spirited plan to enliven the
town.
The contributions amount to
$500, which is over half Of the
sum required for the building Of
the stand according to the plans in
mind. It is proposed to build
substantial structure with a brick
foundation, designed to add at
tractiveness to the section Of town
in which it is located. The exact
site has not yet been selected but
several central locations are under
consideration.
The contractor believes the stand
can be completed within three
days, so prompt response on the
part of the townspeOple is all that
is necessary to insure concerts dur
ing the remainder Of August and
all of September.
c. u. Denny, Secretary of Min
nehaha Band, extends through the
columns Of The Post an invitation
to all public-spirited and interested
citizens to help make up the neces-
sary sum-$80. For the sake of
convenience contributions may be
left at the Office Of the Newark
Post, from which place they will
be forwarded to Mr.. Denney, to-
gether with the subscribers names.

Gov. Goldsborough, Chairman Wei

terday afternoon on the State
steamer P. F. Thomas, en- route for
the upper portion of the county, to
inspect the proposed connection of
the Caroline county State Road and
the Dorchester county roads
There are two routes proposed,
one which calls for building straight
down from Ellwood, which is the
shorter plan, and the one adopted
by the Roads Commission while the
other goes by the way of Cabin
Creek into East New Market, be-
ing about three miles longer.
The Commission yesterday made
the proposition to the citizens urg-
ing the Cabin Creek route that
difference in length between the
two plans should be built under the
Shoemaker Law, under which the
abutting property would pay 10 per
cent. the County Commissioners 40
Per cent, and the State SO per
cent. No decision has been reach
ed in the matter yet.
