ATLAS NOW INTERESTED
IN j. S. FLASHLESS CO.
Ernest du Pont Remains as
President and Continues in
Charge of Affairs.

At the offices of the Atlas Powder
Co. in the Delaware Trust Building.
at Ninth and Market streets, this
morning official announcement was
made that the Atlas Co. has acquired
an interest in the u. s. Fiashiess
Powder Co. To what extent this In
terest goes or what effect IL Is going
to have on the future affairs of the
Flashless Co. was not stated.
Ernest du Pont is still the presi-
dent of the U. S. F'lashless Powder Co,
and is still in charge of that com
pany's affairs and as far as is known
at this time he will continue at the
head of the company and to direct its
interests. it was stated. Whether the
Atlas Co. ultimately contemplates
taking over the entire organization
|could not be learned today.
The u. S. Flashless Powder Co. has
but one plant and it is located near
Carrcroft. just north OF this city along
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. IL has
been operating a comparatively short
time. but II is understood it's capacity
is almost indefinite because of the fa-
|cilities there for expanding. Its pro
duct is high grade explosive.

ASSESSMENT BOARD IN

Democrats May Petition the
Levy Court to Strike All
From Payroll.

Persistence of William b. Smith, Jr.
and J. G. Aston. the Republican MEM
Der of the county Board of Assessment
bipartisan body. in continuing four
Republican clerks and one Demo-
cratic clerk is displeasing to Leslie r.
Casperson and William A. Scott, the
Democratic members, who declare
there should be larger Democratic
representation in the clerkships.
OF the four Republican clerks two
are men and two women. Theodore w
Francis, Raymond Robertson, Miss
Ida Foulk and Mrs. Robert l.. Arm
strong, while Frank A. Toner is the
Democratic clerk.
The Democratic members want two
men clerks or one man clerk and two
women clerks, with the Republican
members filling the other clerkships
but the latter will not consent to an
equitable division and refuse to go in
to an election. Because of this refusal
all the old clerks are holding over and
the Democratic members cannot OBJ
tain an adjustment
The Democratic members of the
board contemplate petitioning the Levy
Court tomorrow TO strike the names
of the fiye clerks from the county pay
roll, which would so deadlock the
board that the Republican members

HIS WIFE AND CHILD
KILLED NEAR FELTON,
When Their Automobile Was
Struck by a Delaware Rail-
road Train Today.
FROM MASTEN'S CORNER

Three persons were killed and
fourth so badly injured that she is
not expected to recover, in collision
between an automobile and train
on the Delaware Division of the Penn

His wife, sged about S4 years.

Their little laughter, aged I. is in
the Milford Hospital and her recovery
is in doubt. She is suffering from a
badly fractured right leg and numer-
GUS cuts and bruises about the body
How the child escaped the fate of her
parents and her brother is said to be
a mystery.
Scott. with his wife and two chill
dren. were riding in an automobile.
with Scott at the steering wheel. He
approached Hurd's Crossing. about
half a mile north of FELTON,. There was
a freight train coming north and Scott
is said to have seen it and apparently
had made up his mind he could cross
the tracks before it reached there.
The crossing is public one, but il
is said no watchman was there.
Robert Nosel, a farmer near Hurd S
-,
near the crossing and was an eve
witness OF the tragedy. He saw the
train. known as No. D-457, which is
the milk train and which left this
city this morning at Sis o'clock, com
ing south at the same time the freight
was approaching the crossing from
the south. Scott evidently did see the
train coming from the north. for
despite Nogel's shouts of warning.
which he apparently did not hear, he
drove out on the tracks on his way
across and right into the path Of the
onrushing milk train.
Engineer Sounded Bell
The engineer of this train evidently
saw the impending danger for he
sounded the bell and whistle several
times. Conductor Alexander in charge
of the train later stated that he
thought there was something on the
track ahead of them because of the
repeated blasts Of the whistle The
train struck the automobile terrific
blow and reduced the machine 10 a
twisted mass Of splinters and broken
metal. Scott, his wife and their baby
boy were killed instantly. The little
girl seems 10 have been thrown clear
of the wreckage.
The train was stopped as quiclxl,
as possible and Conductor Alexandei
hurried to FELTON, and summoned DR.

on the scene he found the father
mother and baby dead, but the cir
was still living. He gave her emergen
