ISAIAH FOUNTAIN
TO HANG TOMORROW
He Has Been a Bit Nervous While
Watching the Building Of the
ScaffOld.

Easton, Md, July 22.--Isaiah Foun-
tain, tho Negro who is to be hanged
hero tomorrow, spent a restless day in his
cell in the Jail here today, ts he sat listen-
ing to the noise made by the hatohet and
saw welded by workmcn erecting tho
scaffold on which he is to be hanged.
The scaffold is in tho corridor that sep
arates the Jail from the Office Of Sheriff
Soulsby
Foutain would have nothing to say,
but sat downcast in hrs cell all day and
would eat but little.
The scaffold is made of four large white
oak corner posts, from tho top Of which
runs a cross bar, through which the rope
which is to be placed around Fountains 8
neck is suspended. This rope is Of hemp.
The platform on which Fountain is TO
stand is about eight feet from the floor Of
the corridor and is seven and onc-half
by five feet. The trapdoor through which
Fountain will fall is three and onc-half
feet square.
In leaving his cell to go to tho scaf-
fold Fountain will walk the entire length
of the corridor, from the south end of the
Jail to the north end. Ho will have TO
walk up Ii steps to the platform on which
he is to stand. Tho scatfold will be finished
atASiuboSir WHICH, bItf Will pF
tried to see that tho door falls all right.
Fountain is not the only inmate of the
Jail that has been nervous and excited
today. The other Negro prisoners have
been exceedingly dull and nervous. They
vigorously complained against the scat
fold being erected in the corridor, saying
they would never be able To sleep another
night while they were in the jail, as they
would see Fountain walking around the
corridor every night and hear him crying
or singing.
Sheriff Soulsby says he has about
finished all arrangements for the hanging
and is prepared TO see that order Is main
tanned, as he has sufficient deputies and
the police from Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner Baughman's office.
The hanging will be private, none
but the members of Fountains family,
the jail physician and the 20 witnesses
the law prescribes. Newspaper men will
be allowed inside tho jail. If necessary,
no one will be allowed on West street
between Court and Federal streets and
on Federal street between West and
Washington streets.

CHARLES A. DOWNEY
WAS NOTED MINSTREL
Known Wilmingtonian Died
Suddenly at His. Home at
Rose Hill.

Charles A. Downey, a weIl-known resi-
dent of Rose Hill, who died suddenly of
apoplexv on July l6, was buried on Mon
day. He had been suffering for some time
with indigestion. His death was a great
shock TO his family as well as TO the COM
munity at large. He WAS 60 years OF age.
Mr.. Downey was resident of Whining
ton for the last 40 years but had travelled
extensively over the United States. He
was born in Providence, II. l., on October
l6. 1859, and was son of the late Robert
r. and Elizabeth Downey and grandson
of the late John Pattinson, at one time
Judge of Muskegon county, Ohio. He
with his parents, were the last residents of
the old Shipley Mansion. which formerly
stood at the southwest corner of Fourth
and Shipley streets. Two of the sons, who
survive him. were born In that house
The deceased was an expert cabinet
maker, and WAS also noted MINSTREL.
In his younger days he was connected
with the minstrel companies of Al G.
Field, Field and Hanson, Dounelly and
Hatfield. Cleveland and Wilson, and late
" the Harlan MinstIels. lie was IN the
big vaudeville circuits throu1h the east
and west.
Mr.. Downey was a. great baseball far.
He was of cheerful disposition and al
ways ready with a helping hand. He is
survived by his wife, who was formerly
Miss Jennie Clark of Delaware City, and

WANT SUBSTANTIAL FOOD.
Women Prefer Sandwiches Now to Sweets
and Light Things.

One result Of woman's advent into the
industrial life Of the community, it is
said, is change in her dietetics. No long
cr does she depend on icc-cream, LADY,
fingers, fudge, and charlotte russes when
seeking nourishment in the downtown
cafes. As worker, the woman Of today
finds that she must eat more nourishing
and substantial food.
Mrs. Georgia Lee who has charge of
the Y. w. c. A. cafeteria, has been making
observations, and says, "The business
woman may be more frugal than her
brother in spending money, but she gets
the value in nourishing properties. Salads
are in favor with the women and these
are highly nourishing and medicinal
foods for hot weather" Mrs. Lee added
that women are eating fewer sweets in
the restaurants, and when ordering meats,
go in for rich gravies and vegetables.
Other restaurants of Wilmington re-
port that women who eat in the business
section are more and more inclined to
avoid the light and frothy foods and order
dhhes that will fortify them for the
fatigucs of the working hours.

early date. He remarked that nothing il
Of greater Importance TO Wilmington
than full-paid fro department
Councilman Murray asked how many
companies and what character of COM
panies Wilmington would require.
Mr.. Howland said Wilmington should
have at least nine engine and thrcc ladder
companies and 10 stations.
Mr.. Murray asked how the instAllation
OF full-paid fire department would affect
fire insurance rates.
Mr.. Howland could not answm tho
question, but stated the board makes
classIfications and insurance companies
fix rates
Mr.. Murray asked how much a full
paid fire department would cost.
Mr.. Howland estimated that In pur-
chase of standard fire apparatus would
cost $2f4,OOO, the erection Of 10 stations,
$22 900 and maint nance &264, 900. He
thought many Of the present stations and
some of the apparatus could he made
scrvicenble.
Councilman Forwpod said tho last pro-
ccdipg Council had put itself on record ~
favoring fullpeid fire department and
sent To Dover bill providing for such a
department, but the Legislature did not
pass the bill
Mr.. Rowland. replying to Mr.. or
wood, stated he could not compare tho
fire losses Of Wilmington with the fire
losses of other cities because Of inability
To obtain Wilmington's figures. Tho board
obtains the figures Of other cities from the
fire departments, but it had failed TO get
reliable figures from Wilmington. Re
plying to other questions, MIR Howland
said Inc had investigated structural condi-
tions in Wilmington and found many of
them weak He could not tell what effect
the resignati Of one fire company would
have on insurance rates and stated he had
no information concerning the withdrawal
of other FIRE companies He remarked that
II other fire companies resigned there
would be a situation Council could not
afford TO face Assuming that $4,000 was
sufficient to maintain the fire companies
five years ago. he thought 80 per cent ad-
ditional would not be excessive now MIR.
Forwood doubted whether MIR Howland
knew conditions here If he could not give
statistics. Mr.. Howland said he was told
