Mr.. Smith said: "Naaman was a
great man; a ruler; a man with
wealth and captain of the host He
had everything that an earthly man
would want, but he was a leper. Sin

YEGGS BLOWSAFE
Then GET AWAY
IN STOLEN TEAM
Ellendale PoStoffice Robbed
of Stamps and Supplies
Valued at 5000
BELIEVE Thieves ARE
CORNERED IN WOODLAND

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD, Del, May 6.-Sometime
between midnight and daybreak this
morning thieves entered the postoffice
at Glendale, blew open the safe and
got away with stamps and supplies
valued at $500
Before the postoffice was entered the
thieves stole a driving horse and car
riage from Fred Donovan in which
they are believed to have driven away.
The halter, with which the horse was
hitched in the stable, was found at
the postoffice this morning.
The barn of Walter Reynolds also
had been entered, but at that place TIE
robbers took only two blankets. These
also were found at the postoiice, they
having been used by the "yeggs" in
muflng the sound of the explosion
when the safe was blown open. The
blankets were blown to pieces. Marks
about the Pennsylvania railroad station
indicated that the 'yeggs" had attempt
cd to enter that place but they had
evidently changed their minds after the
start to enter the building was made.
So far as is known no definite clews
which will lead to their arrest were lett
but the postofiice authorities have been
notified.
The team used by the yeggs. togeth-
er with a blanket covered with
"Soup" and a number of blank money
orders we're found along the road a
mile from Harrington about six
o'clock this morning. The horse was
In a pitiable condition, being nearly
overcome from excessive driving.
The team was found by a colored farm
hand and word was sent to State De-
tectives Thomas and Murphy. The
officers secured Railroad Detective
Minner and Constable Adams, and the
Tour officers started for the woodlands
In this vicinity to scour them for the
men.
The team, with two men in it and
their caps pulledf d5wn over their
faces, we're seen by several residents
near Milford early this morning, driv-
ing towards Harrington at a furious
pace.
AS no trains moved over the Penn
sylyania railroad between 4 and
O'Clock this morning and a strict
watch had been kept since the latter
hour on all trains, it is thought the
robbers are in hiding in the woods
near Harrington.
State Detective Thomas, at II
o'clock, in a conversation over the
telephone with this city. stated that il
was thought the men had been cor
nered in a woods near Harrington and
the posse was closing in on them.

QUITS DEMOCRAT
FIGHT FOR MAYOR
Saw No Chance for Victory
With DiSaffection in
Party'S Ranks
CARD TO The VOTERS
Tells OF WITHDRAWAL

Former Mayor Charles d. Bird to-
day formally announced his with
drawal as candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Mayor. He is
sued the following statement:
Wilmington, Del, May 6, 1915.
To the Voters of the City of Will
mington:
Gentlemen: l desire to an
nounce my withdrawal from the
contest for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Mayor. In doing SO,
wish to express my profound
thanks to all those who may
have contemplated giving me
their support in the primary con-
test and. in the event of my
nomination. in the city election.
Yours sincerely,
Charles ID. Bird.
Withdrawal of Mr.. Bird leaves for
mer Mayor J. Harvey Spruance as the
only candidate of the Democrats for
the mayoralty, TO oppose City Treas
urer James f. Price, the Republican
mayoralty nominee.
Beyond his formal letter of with
drawal, Mr. Bird made no statement
as TO why he is retiring as a candi-
date. II is understood. however, that
he has come to the conclusion that II
would be useless for him to 90 into
the campaign this year, when Demo-
cratic disaffection is so great that the
party has no chance of victory. On
top of the odds against the Democrats
because of the normal Republican
majority. there is widespread dis
satisfaction in the Democratic ranks
that promises to be more far-reaching
than in November a year ago. Some
Democrats say they would not be sur
prised if the Tenth ward. a Demo
cratic stronghold. should go Republi-
can at the city election. Mr.. Bird, II
is said, has had his ear TO the ground
and has learned of the faction-torr
party conaitionsfBnd has decided tc
i-get out of It without further delay
The retirement of Mr.. Bird will leave

Public Furnaces.

: A splendid way to keep the streets
free from waste paper, rubbish, etc.,
has been established in Glendale, near
Los Angeles, Cal. The city has built
public incinerators or catch-all fur
naces in the alleys back of its business
blocks. Four of these, paid for by an
assessment levied on the merchants,
have not only solved the rubbish prob
lem, but have reduced the danger OF
fire from promiscuous bonfres. The
furnaces are built Of brick and do not
need watching while fire Is burning
inside. They are four feet high with
a chimney portion extending one foot
above the main furnace Rubbish to
he burned 10 dumped into the furnace
through 27-inch hole, covered with
q two-inch wire screen, in the top.
A good draft is secured by a draft
hole at the bottom, and the chimney
flue is covered with a wire screen.
The chief advantages of the furnaces
are that they are always ready for
use and are perfectly safe.
