BARN BURNERS TERRORIzE
FARMERS UPPER PART STATE
THREE BARNS WITHIN A FEW
MILES OF NEWARK DESTROYED
Fire Fiends Who Have Been Operat-
ing Over in Pennsylvania Suspect
ed.-Farmers Are Aroused

Barn burners who have been Oper-
ating in Chester and Delaware coun-
ties, Pa, for several weeks, is is fear
ed have extended their activities to
Delaware, as three barns within few
miles of Newark have been destroyed
by fire within the past two days. In
no case has the origin of the fires been
traced. Fire fiends are suspected and
it is understood the authorities are
making an investigation. There is
talk among farmers of organizing a
vigilance committee. The latest fire
was at 4.30 o'clock Monday morning
when the large stone and frame barn
on the farm owned by the George H.
Huber estate and tenanted by Isaac
Neal was totally destroyer at a loss
of $4,000. Ten horses, one bull and
two calves that were in the barn were
burned while about 25 head of cattle
that happened to be in the barn yard
were singed but they were gotten out
of the yard without being seriously
burned. About 1000 bushels of corn
200 tons of hay and other contents
were also destroyed by fire. The to-
tai may reach $4,000 partly covered
by insurance. On Saturday morning
two other barns were burned. One
was on the farm of H. J. Taggart, OF
Wilmington, located near Appleton
Md, about three miles from Newark
loss, $4,000, and the other on the farm
tenanted by Clarence Sapp, a short
distance from Glasgow, loss about $5,-
900. A horse, COW and pig was burn
ed in the latter fire. A large barn or
the farm of James W. Foster, on the
road from New Castle to Newport
was burned early Monday morning
Six cows, large quantity of hay anC
some farming implements We're alsC
destroyed in this fire. The twenty
eighth barn fire in Chester county
across the Delaware State line, started
early Monday on the farm of Mrs
Michael Kosba. The building was de
stroyed and the loss is $4,000. Four
teen cows, a bull, four horses, 10l
bushels of oats, six tons of hay, 50t
bushels of corn, fodder and the farm
ing machinery were destroyed. Their,
was no insurance.

DELAWARE RAILROAD SUIT
Insist That the Federal Government
Should Pay For 100000 Draw
Bridge Over the c. & ID. Canal

Suit IN equity was brought against
John W. Weeks, Secretary of War;
Earl |. Brown, United States Engineer
for this district, and James H. Hughes
United States District Attorney, by
the Delaware Railroad Company and
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
Monday afternoon through their at
tOney, John Biggs, who filed papers
in the United States District Court
before Judge Hugh NJ. Morris. P.
Warren Green is associated with Mr..
Biggs in the suit. The suit is in ref
erence to a new bridge over the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal below Kirk
wood and involves the expenditure of
approximately 100000. 1t is in con-
nectiOn with the widening of the canal
the work of which has been already
begun by the contractors. The War
Department had served notice on the
railroad companies to widen the bridge
and have the work completed by July
/, 1922. The railroad companies have
COntended the cost of the work should
be borne by the Government. The lat
ter held contrary opinion and moth
ing has been done on the improve
ment. The action is being brought at
this time to determine just who will
pay for the new structure. The bill
that has been filed seeks to enjoin the
government from interfering with the
present bridge until it is finally de-
termined who will have to bear the ex-
pense. 1t also seeks to enjoin the
government from bringing criminal
proceedings against the railroad COM
panies during the interim. The COM
plainants are allowed ten days to file
affidavits in support of their conten-
tiOn and the respondents are also Civ
en- ten days in which to file answer
Four days are then allowed the COM
plainants to answer the respondents.
The hearing has been set for January
4th.

left out of having a share in it. The
amount of money asked of st. Peters
people as their share in carrying out
the program for the coming year, is
S750.00, and this amount can easily
be raised if every one will pledge ac-
cOrding to ability, and then keep up
the payments regularly. At a meet
ing of the vestryheld Monday night

ing for an expenditure for the year
1928 on account of local obligations,
