STENCIL
IS CURE FOR
The CHILLS

The greater portion of todays ses-
zion of City Court was occupied by
the discussion concerning odors en-
anating from the plant OF the Alpha
Process Company, makers OF fertiiiz-
ers, along the Causeway. These odors,
some Of the Witnesses claimed were
a detriment TO the health OF the peo-
pie while other witnesses said they
we're healthy. inasmuch as they cre-
ated appetites. One man claimed the
odors we're a cure for chills. After
hearing much evidence Judge Church
man reserved his decision in the case
until Monday September 20.
The case was brought against the
company and Edward r. Young,
president Hugh S. Morris, counsel
for the concern. entered not guilty
plea. Dr. II. w. Briggs, a member of
the Board Of Health, was the frst
witness He said that between June
"a and September II he passed the
plant daily and the smoke coming
from the place gave OFF an odor which
was sickening.
Fred A. Wallace Of the Tatnall-
Brown Company said that because OF
the odors at times It was necessary
to close the windows OF his office
which is 1900 yards from the plant
II. f. Strausbaok, OF the Illinois
Leather Company. also said the
stencil was bad George II. Guthrie
and David Il Faulkner. the latter
bridge tender at Third street bridge
said the odor was sickening.
Emil Ulrich. executive officer Of the
Board Of Health said he had detected
the stencil all over the city. When
asked by Mr.. Morris II the stencil
could have come from any other plant
in the city. the officer said there we're
no other such odors In the city.
Mr. Lynn. assistant city solicitor
presented a copy of the yearly report
Of the company, showing that IL wai
a corporation. Mr.. Morris objected
and after much wrangling, the report
was admitted. Edwin r. Young, Jr.
was then called and said he was sec
retary Of the company which was in
lcorporated. Az first Mr.. Morris OBJ
iected, claiming that one way tc
prove Incorporation was by COPY
of the charter. This objection the
court claimed came too late.
Mr. Morris then called Howard II
Carver. and Benjamin s. Dowdell. o
the r. g. o. Railroad Company, WHIT
said the odors we're not offensive t.
them Mr Carver said the odor serv
ed to make one hurry.
william oliver. who has a place o
employment near the plant, said III
odor did not affect him in any way
while James w. McAllister claime'
Il was a cure for chills and fever
In saying this the witness said tba
before the plant was located Their
the mud digger in the Christian
creek caused the chills. When aske'
by Mr. Lynn If the dredge was no
in the creek now McAllister sail
yes" and he proceeded to tel
what a difference there was betwee
mud digger and suction dredg
The Court stopped him, however.
Edwin p. Young said the time m
, nuisance was caused was over th
failure Of his employees in caring fc
the material properly. Mr.. Youn
{ admitted that his company had bee
r fined twice in the City Court for II
Z same offense.
Both sides then rested and th
Q Court announced that a decisio

There the special policeman look

He satisfied Magistrate Yates today
that he was really James Champion,

NOW BELIEVE
NEGRO DIED
UNDER CAR

New and important evidence has
developed in the case of John W. Cor
don, colored. who was killed by a
trolley car al New Castle on August
80. and at whose inquest Tuesday
night an open verdict of death by
unknown causes was returned by the
jury, which would seem to prove con-
clusively that the man was killed
by the car, and not murdered and
placed on the tracks as supposed.
Coroner James I. Spring yesterday
afternoon learned Of two new wit
nesses in the case. who are said TO
have seen Gordon walking along the
tracks OF the Wilmington and South
ern railway, where his dead body
was found and TO have warned him
that he had better get out Of the way
or he would be killed by a trolley car.
Coroner Spring will go TO New
Castle this afternoon to see these
witnesses, and he will also go to the
home Of the dead mans sister to get
his hat, which she has The coroner
has been informed that this hat
has no marks or stains whatever
upon II, and the man could hardly
have received the blows on tho head
without breaking the hat 10 corre-
epond with the wounds on the head,
although bad he lain on the tracks
the bat could have fallen from his
head
Another thing that seems 10 point
20 the car a. being the real executor
Of the negro. Is the fact that when hii
body was found after the car had pass
ed, both legs were on the track. The
only injuries on the negro were on his
head, the car having passed over his
body as IT lay between the tracks with
out mutilating it Il is therefore ap
parent that the man had moved after
being struck upon the head by the car
and in his death struggle had thrown
his legs across the track
