 Trains coming into this city Sun day from points east were anywhere from one to three hours late. The morning train which usually arrives here shortly after eleven o'clock did not make it's appearance until about one forty-five. This delay of vest bound trains was caused by the tearr ing down of one end of the wooden trestle just north of Nfoosup about 7.30 o'clock Sunday morning by a freight. train. The last two cars on this train jumped the trucks and crashed over the end of the bridge for a thirty foot drop to the road below. The last car on the train which. was the caboose. landed bottom side up on, the road below and the three members of the train crew who were riding in it were given bad shaking up but ex- cept for a few bruises escaped with out injury. The second car which was loaded with coal jumped off the bridge and landed upsie down about ten feet to one siee of the river It will be sew eral days before the bridge will be opened for travel and until then pass engers will be forced to. transfer around the bridge by means of auto mobiles or by foot.

OLD DELAWARE

Miss Natalie Belts of Scranton,
Pa, has been appointed dietitian

Miss Emily B. Hall. She is expect

STROUD BARN SET ON
FIRE BY NEGRO YOUTH
Was Held This Morning in
$4,000 Bail for Court

Fire of incendiary origin yes
terday afternoon totally DESTROYED
the barn on the A. G. Stroud prop
erty south of Newark. The crops
and farming implements stored
therein, and the frame portions of
a concrete silo adjoining the barn
were also destroyed. Three horses
which were in the structure at
the time were removed safely.
The fire had made considerable
headway before it was discovered.
Mr.. Stroud was not at home at
that time and neighbors did every
thing possible to save the other
property. A call was sent to the
Atnea Fire Company who were
unable Ito respond because their
apparatus is in the garage for
overhauling. The Singerly Fire
Co., of Elkton, was called and
rendered all aid possible.
The location of the concrete
silo and the direction of the wind,
together with the efficient work
of a bucket brigade saved the
house, garage and other out-build-
ings.
The loss on the buildings is
partially covered by insurance.
The crops and implements are a
total loss.
Investigation as to the cause led
to a suspicion that Walter Cas-
sldy, a colored youth employed by
Mr.. Stroud, was responsible for
the fire. Although he denied all
knowledge of the affair, he was
placed under arrest and after re-
moval to the lookup confessed
that he had been smoking and had
dropped spark on dry hay. Fear,
he said, prevented his giving an
ALARM. A charge of arson was
placed against him and at a hear
ing before Magistrate Lovett this
morning at 9 o'clock he was held
in $4,000 bail for the September
team of Court.
According to members of the
Stroud family Cassidy has been
acting suspiciously for several
months. The house was robbed a
short time ago and he with others
was suspected of the theft.

ALL READY FOR
OPENING OF COL.
LECES TOMORROW
Emergency at Women's COL
lege Met by School Aux
iliary Association

Although Delaware Colleue and
the Women's College of Delaware
90 not open formally until tomor-
row, the students, new and old
nave been drifting in since Satur,
day and many have already estab-
hshed themselves in their perma-
nent quarters. The enrolment of
Freshmen in both colleges this
year will probably exceed that of
previous years. That at Old Del
aware this morning had nearly
reached the 100 mark, while that
at Women's College was about 80.
Many who were unable to take
the entrance examinations in June
are taking them today.
Numerous conferences between
the faculty and the new president.
DR.. Walter Hullihen, have been
held during the past week and
everything points to an auspicous
opening of a successful year.
Vacancies in the faculty have
been filled with one exception and
this, it is thought will be filled
within the next few days.
The large enrolment at the
Women's College has created an
emergency which the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association is
meeting by the erection and loan
to the college of two buildings, at
a cost of $4,000 from the Pierre
S. du Pont fund, each to house
tWenty-one, to furnish them, to
increase the size of the dining
room in Residence Hall to seat
two hundred and to give a proper
tionate amount for the lighting,
heating, ETC., of these buildings
for the year 192O-1921. The Ex-
'ecutive Committee of the College
met yesterday formally to accept
this aid.
The new buildings are now be-
ing erected south of Sussex Hall
by the du Pont Construction Com
pany and will be completed by
October 20. The changes in the
dining-room are in charge of
Frank Overdeer of Haddock and
Company, who erected the two
original buildings of the College.
To meet the congested condition
until the new buildings are COM
pleted, students in Residence Hall
are sharing their rooms, with
freshmen, and the third floor of
the Red Mems Home, which is
situated opposite the College, has
been secured for the use of the
College as a dormitory of the
College.
The Delaware School Auxiliary
Association is giving this assist
ance to the College as a part of it's
program because the Women's Col
lege has made every effort to meet
the present shortage Of teachers
in the State and has enrolled 81
young women for it's special
teacher training course, all of
whom are expecting to teach in
the elementary schools of the
State.
