Injured Child Convalescenj

Jennie Tweed, aged twelve
years, who was seriously injured
when struck by the Newark trans
fer several weeks ago, was
brought to her home in Newark
last Saturday. The child has been
at the Homeopathic Hospital,
Wilmington. All the broken
bones are knitting nicely, and
the danger due to the pressure Of
broken ribs on the lungs and
heart, is entirely removed. The
patient is able to sit up in a
chair, and suffers now only from
her ankle, which is mending
slowly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tweed speak
highly of the Homeopathic Hospi-
tai and the attention which their
daughter received. While there
she occupied the Newark room"
which was furnished by Newark
about two years ago.

WORK ON SEWER
EXTENSION BEGUN
Twenty Men Working On
Old Depot Road

Smith and Ruggles, contrac-
tors Of Baltimore, have begun
work on the installation of the
sewer extension, about twenty
men, all of whom are foreign
laborers, being employed on Acad-
emy street extended this week.
The contractors bid for the work
was slightly less than $4,000. A
large portion of this amount will
be paid by Delaware College as it
is largely for the benefit of the
college that it is to be built. The
extension starts on Welsh Lane at
the town limits and goes south to
point between the home of DR..
S. c. Mitchell and the Women's
College. It is then extended
across the college property to the
back Depot Road, then to South
Chapel street. 1t is necessary to
put in pumping station on
South Chapel street as the sewer
age will not run by gravity there.
All the college property purchas-
ed last year and also the Women's
College will be cared for by the
extension. Pri ate property
owners along Welsh Lane and
also on South Chapel street will
pay their proportionate share of
tho cOcf Tho ,rorL will ho co,,,
pleted during the summer.
