Aetna Boys Render Assistance

Aetna Hose Company responded
to call last night about LAO, tc
render assistance on the property
Of A. Jedel, south Of town, where
one Of the buildings of the fire
works manufacturing plants, had
been discovered in flames. 1t is be.
lieved the fire was due to spon.

The building, frame one, about
20 by 80 feet, was hopeless, but the
chemical engine did good service in
saving the adjoining buildings.
The Christiana creek flows along
the property and spectators looked
for the firemen to make use of the
stream. Such a plan was imprac.
ticable, however, as it was impossi.
BILE for the big engine to run thru

The plant is not in operation al

LIFE IN THE. BALKANS
Interesting Talk By Miss
Stone

Miss Stone, for twenty years
missionary in the Balkan countries
gave an interesting talk in the lee
ture room Of the Presbyterian
Church last Friday evening. The
speaker discussed life in Turkey,
Bulgaria and Albania, presenting
very realistically the disadvantages
which attend the backward clvlllza-
ton of Turkey, as forced upon all
countries within her power.
Miss Stone related incidents
from her captivity in 1907, when
she was held for 172 days by
Turkish robbers, whose one object
was to get gold. The two women
captured were kept under cover
during the day, and in the saddle
during the night, suffering hard
sbiDs indescribable. The prisoners
we're finally ransomed by the Unit
ed States government.
Miss Stone regards the Buigar-
Il a
ians and Albanians as a pflshc,
keen. industrious people, possessed
of executive ability to compare
with that found in our own land'
and prophesies a remarkable ae-
velopment, now that their mde-
nandence has been gained. Whlle

den in the schools, and everything
done to retard their development.

ing Monday night, gave the final
reading and passed a long ordi-
nance that is to govern the work of
plumbers in making connections
with the new sewer. The ordi-
nance provides for the appoint
ment of a Plumbing Inspector by
the Sewer Commission, The In
spectOr will get his compensation
in fees which will amount to about
$50 for each property where con-
nectiOns are made and this fee will

present when Council took final ac-
ton and several minor changes
were made at the suggestion Of the
plumbers. Plumbers doing any
work without having it inspected
will be subjected to a fine.
AS there is a great deal Of old
plumbing in the town most resi-
dents are interested in that section
Of the ordinance which has to do
with old plumbing. In the case Of
old plumbing it provides that a
running trap be installed under
the pavement with a vent running
one foot inside the curb with a
perforated iron top well locked or
running trap placed in a cellar

SEWER OPERATIONS
PROGRESSING SLOWLY
Pumps Going Night And Day

Sewer work along the pipe line,
Z. Main street, is being pushed
night and day, different shifts of
men continuing the work through
out the twenty-four hours.
In spite of the large force of
men and strenuous effort it is pos
sible to cover only 60 or 70 feet
daily, since the excavation is Of a
depth of % feet, and water is en-
countered at II feet below ground.
A steam pump is kept in constant
service, draining the old town well
on the water works property, while
a pulsometer works steadily on the
water found in the trenches. The
men at the bottom Of the trench
wear heavy gum boots as they han
die steadily the shovelfuls of mud.
Previous to Monday the dirt was
thrown ON two scaffolds, on its way
to the surface, but now the con-
tractor is using hosting engine
by which much time and labor is
saved.
The dirt excavated by the dig
ging machine is deposited in carts
drawn under the tunnels. The
carts, which are filled in 35 sec
onds. wait in line and move on as
quickly as filled, depositing the
dirt in the trench as the pipes are
laid. In this way the street is kept
open for the convenience Of the
travelling public.
Bonfres and myriads of red Ian
| terms and electric lights make the
scene at night striking one.

Caus3 Of Acct
dent a Mystery
Fatal r sults On Depot Road

Later intcstigation has failed to
,vnIain the cause Of the automo-
I;io & acciI.nt which occurred on the
GLASGOW ro.l. between the P. B. &
" dcpm and the Welsh Tract
sobooIboa-n, last Friday. The car
was found overturned along the
roodsido with the occupants, l.. j.
Moore Of Salisbury, Nd, and Mrs.
lillian H. Pierce of Wilmington,
5aad and pmned underneath the
aar No one witnessed the accident
and all explanations are mere con-
lecture.
The woman was the widow Of
Harry Pierce, whose death occur
red recently. Mr.. Moore had sue
cepdpd Mr. Pierce as agent for the
4 B. Cunningham Co. of Phila-
dplphia. He was still unacquaint-
Cd with the route and had been ac-
companipd on several short trips
bv Mrs. Pierce, who had often cov-
cred the territory in company with
her husband.
The salesman had called on sew
eral local merchants and was con-
tnuing his trip down state when
tbe accident occurred. Several
persons who had seen the car a
short time before say it was not
going at excessive speed.
The car is now at the garage OF
AT. Fadrr. One tire is down and
the windshield completely shatter-
ed, but aside from these details, Is
in good condition, the engine work
inc as Satisfactorily as ever. 1t IS
surmised the trouble was due to a
bursting tire. Marks on the road
outlining a figure eight indicated
loss Of control by the driver.
From the position in which the
bodies were found it is believed the
car was driven by Mrs. Pierce,
whose body was found directly un-
der the steering wheel. The weight
Of the machine rested on Mr..
Moore 5 neck, evidently causing
him to choke to death. The fact
that the car was entirely closed by
curtains accounts for all impossl-
bility Of escape.
The wreck, with the bodies
under il, was found by Robert Nc
Mullin, driver of the Dayett flour
mill truck. The bodies were sent
to Undertaken r. 7. Jones, where
they We're identified. Both were
practically unscarred. Mr.. Moore
was about IS years of age; Mrs.
Pierce T.. Both bodies were IN
tered in Salisbury, Md, which
town was Mrs. Pierce's old home.

NAL School and also a position in
Japan, but decided to sacrifice sal
ary and go to Vassar College as
