All three companies responded to
the alarm and made desperate
fight to save he mill. When it was
seen that the flames were uncontroI-
able they worked to save the ad-

large warehouses and an office near
the mill and they were saved from
damage by hard work Of the firemen.
This plant has been visited by fires
several times, but this is the first
time that the mill has been complete

The mill was large frame build

eighteen years ago by Albert Lewis

new SAND AND

CONES TO CAIRO
Because of Better Shipping Faoili-
ties Here Chester Concern
moves to Cairo

Capt. Yourty of Chester, ILL.,, was
in the city Saturday concluding his
arrangements for the removal of his
sand ana gravel business from that
city to Cairo. The removal is to
lie made in the next few weeks. He
has a feet of barges, dredges and
boats sufficient to >handie a large
volume of business and will confine
his operations entirely to the
wholesale shipping of sand and
gravel.
Capt. Yourty was In the city yes
eral weeks ago TO look at the situa-
ton here with the view of removing
here. He has closed th necessary
leases for sand reaches and arranged
for his landing places.
According to the plan he has
been operating at Chester, cars VII
be run down the incline onto
barges taken to the dredging plant
whore the sand and gravel will be
pumped directly into the cars.
Capt. Yourty says he was led
to accept Cairo as his base Of future
operations by two important facts:
That he can operate his plant here
practically all the year round, while
at Chester the ice in the river cuts
him out of operation for a consider
able portion oil the winter, and be-
cause as he says, Cairo presents bet
ter facilities by at least so per cent,
for the shipping of the material.

First Steam War Vessel

One hundred years ago to-day the
world s first steam war vessel the De-
mologos, afterward. rechristened the
Fulton in honor of its constructor, was
launched from privately-owned ship
yard on the New York bank of the
East river. It's construction had been
inspired from the war of 1912. Not
much longer than the modern excursion
boat, measuring in length 167 feet, and
built of wood, the vessel slipped her
moorings ON June l, 1915, and proceed
ed into New York Bay under her own
steam upon her maiden voyage. On the
Fourth of July she again ventured to
sea for speed trial, sailing SO miles
in eight and half hours. This pioneer
vessel of modern navies never re-
ceived her baptism of fire, peace hav-
ing been declared before the Demologos
was ready for battle, but she proved
an instrument of destruction when her
boilers exploded while she lay in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard on June A, 1929,
destroying the vessel and killing 26
persons.

Lancaster Meetings De-
scribed as Most En-
tn u s i a s tic in the
County's History
4 IN PROGRESS
AT ONE TIME
Candidate Asks Pennsylvanians to Put
Their Conscience Into Their Vote
and Says He Will Be Satisfied With
the Result

Lancaster, Pa, Oct. 29.-What has
been pronounced the greatest political
gathering in the history of Lancaster
county took place here last night, when
ten thousand people crowded to get into
three large halls, to hear DR.. Martin G
Brumbaugh deliver his message to the
voters. -Four meetings were in progress
at one time and many hundreds were
unable to gain admittance.
cit is the most wonderful outpour
ing of voters | have witnessed in this
campaign was the comment of Dr.
Brumbaugh when he fought his way
into the Court House. He had hardly
reached the large corridor when he was
compelled to stop and make his first
speech.
Early in the afternoon he held a re.
ception at the Stevens House, where he
shook hands with thousands. From
clock until seven there was a contin-
uous line of people passing through the
reception hall and they were still in
line when DR.. Brumbaugh was com
PEELED to leave for the Court House.
Preceding the four mass meetings there
was a demonstration of the League for
First Presidential Voters, more than a
thousand young men being in line. Many
of these will east their first ballot for
DR.. Brumbaugh.
William H. Keller presided over the
main meeting and the speakers, in ad-
dition to DR.. Brumbaugh, were Mayor
Il Jata
tenant Governor; Henry Houck, and
Henry A. Bomberger, of Philadelphia,
who was one of the leaders in the Bull
Moose movement two years ago, but
who is now giving much time to the
candidacy of DR.. Brumbaugh. The great
demonstration last night was in strik-
ing contrast to the visit Of Colonel
Roosevelt yesterday morning. The Col
onel spoke to less than fifteen hundred
people.
DIR. Brumbaugh said in part:
There are some people who have
been greatly disturbed by my candi-
dacy. | am not surprised at that; [
did not become candidate to please
the opposition. | was not interested in
that and no doubt they were disturbed
and their disturbance takes the form
of one or two interesting inquiries, one
of which | hear being: who is back
of DIR. Brumbaugh in his candidacy for
Governor7' Let me tell you: Nobody
is back of DR.. Brumbaugh except the
voters of this State, who nominated me.
If you vote for me for Governor you
will get exactly me and nothing else
in the world. Don't forget that

Mary Slaughter's Noble Work

"When a woman will she will'' is
an old saw, but when. a woman who
was born a slave, came North and OBJ
tanned an education and then estab-
lished a home for the old and feeble
women of her race-when such wom-
an undertakes a mission she not only
succeeds but deserves success. This
week there appeared before the State
Board of Charities to ask for the rec
ommendation of an appropriation for
the Home for Aged Colored Women in
Williamsport a venerable colored wom-
an, Mary Slaughter by name, who has
by her own efforts done more for her
race than many man whose achieve
ments are exploited to make him promi-
nent in the public eye. Mary Slaughter
was born slave, and after the Civil
war had set her free she established her
home in Williamsport. She was wom-
an of most estimable character, always
on the lookout to help her people, and
in her good work she was assisted by
prominent people in Willamsport. The
late Senator j. Henry Cochran was
numbered among her helpful friends, as
was the late Attorney General Henry
c. Mccormick. Aged and infrm col
ored women find home in this insti-
tuition, and the name of Mary Slaughter
is known to all good people in Will
Transport. Owning little property
Mary Slaughter mortgaged it to estab-
lish this home for colored women. The
last Legislature gave her $1,000 for
maintenance for two years, and 1000
for the payment of the mortgage, but,
unfortunately, the home was not car
ried on by an incorporated institution
and the money for the payment of the
mortgage could not be paid under the
law. This year Secretary Bromley
Wharton, of the State Board of Chari-
ties, and Chauncey P. Rogers, of the
Auditor General s Department, prepared
an appropriation bill for the good wom-
an that will not only provide for the
upkeep of the institution but also pave
the way for the paying of the mort
gage, Such women as Mary Slaughter
are an honor to her race. In her home
in Williamsport are ten aged and in
firm colored women and they are all
well cared for in their declining years.

$500 Steam Warships To-day

To-day while steam propels almost
all of the $500 or more warships of
the worlds navies, already new forms
of propulsive power are being adopt
ed, such as internal-combu gas
engines and various forms of motors;
while electric motors already are be-
ing experimental with and have been
installed on one American naval col
lier. Probably the horsepower of the
Demologos was not as great as that
which propels a naval launch that is
swung abroad modern warship.
Against her speed Of little more than
six miles an hour, there are warships
to-day that attain speed of thirty
knots an hour and more. War vessels
that could store tie Demologos on
their decks have made sustained voy-
ages of between seven and eight thou
sand miles without re-coaling, thus dis
proving the mathematical demonstra-
tion of Dionysius Lardner, who sought
to prove by figures in the young days
of steam that no ship could ever carry
enough coal to feed her engines while
crossing the Atlantic.
