DELAWARE CITY
IS CONCERNED
OVER INROADS

Authorities at Fort DUPONT and
Delaware City town officials are be-
coming concerned over the inroads the
Delaware City branch channel of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal is
making in the east and west banks
of the waterway between the canal
harbor and the Fifth Street bridge.
While the west bank of the canal
on the Delaware City side has been
slowly but surely cutting into Canal
Street that runs parallel with the
canal, 1T has only been during the past
year that the east bank has noticeably
started to wash out. Following the
thaw in the early spring, after the
severe winter weather, the clay and
gravel bank back Of the Fort DUPONT
canal wharf and bulkheaded area cav
ed in and washed out so that the
wharf has become useless.
The inroads of the tidewater al
ways flowing through the canal can
more eaily be gagged by the fact that
and bushes that few years ago were
five to ten feet back from the edge
of the bank, are now topping into the
water. Several telephone poles are
now cloe to the edge of the bank.

THIRTIETH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS
SEAL SALE

For thirty years public spirited
citizens have been aiding in the pre-
vention of tuberculosis in Cecil
County. During that time great in
roads have been made and the results
have been gratifying.
Before an organized effort had
been made to stamp out this disease,
the death rate in Maryland was 204.1
per hundred thousand. After thirty
years the death rate has been lower
ed to 1910 per hundred thousand.
The Christmas Seal has played an
important part. Through your pur-
chase Of these little seals, lis clinics
have been held and 2219 persons ex-
amined in your county, during the
past ten years. Children have been
restored to health at the Miracle
House and health knowledge has
been disseminated.
Won't you continue your support
to help us in waging winning cam
paign against tuberculosis? The
seals sell for one dollar sheet or
one cent each and are an investment
in the good health Of your COM
munity.

Methodist Churches
Vote To Unite
The Three Groups Ratify
Proposed Merger Plan To
Form One Large Body

The three bodies of Methodist
Methodist Protestant, Methodist
Episcopal and Methodist Episcopal
South, have ratified a proposed plan
of union. -
1t is estimated that when the union
Is consummated 1t will bring into
one body about 100000 members.
The Methodist Protestant Church,
the smallest, has a membership Of
about 100000.
The Methodist Episcopal Church Is
estimated as having 4,296,288 COM
municants and the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South, 2,725,954 MEM
bers. The estimates were made by
the Rev. Harry e. Woolover, secre-
tary of the Commission for the Meth
odist Episcopal Church.
I'm the united church. Pennsyl-
vania alone would have 4S2,6OS, the
largest number in the country" said
Mr.. Woolever. Next would come
Texas and then Ohio. Maryland
Methodists of a united church would
number 165,981."
DR.. Woolever said sufficient num-
Der Of favorable votes have been re-
ceived in the annual conferences of
the Methodist Episcopal Church to
assure ratification.
up to the middle of November
said DR.. Woolever, "6,S13 ministers
had voted for ratification and 399
against; and 4,412 laymen for rati-
fication and 80 against. A two-thirds
vote of those voting in annual con-
ferences is required to make lega;
ratification.
Should constitutional majority
of annual conferences favor the plan
Of union, 1t will remain for the Gem
eral Conference in 1888 also to vote
in favor of union. There could be
no other action" DR.. Rees said.
The Methodist Protestant Church
broke from the Episcopal Church one
hundred and eight years ago. The
second split in the Methodist ranks
occurred In 1874.

Traffic Deaths 29,85O
In Ten Months
New High Rate Feared BY
Safety Council For 1886

The National Safety Council mark
ed up its 1885 traffic death total to
1880 ON November 3O,--for the
first 10 months-and calculated that
at the same rate 1880 would die
before January /.
That would be new all time high,
exceeding the record $1,000 of 1895.
In the first 10 months of 1896 the
death count was 29,680.
Statistician R. L. Forney announc-
ed that pedestrian fatalities increased
2 per cent, including 10 per cent
advance in the number killed be-
tween the ages of five and IA.
Deaths in other kinds of vehicle ac-
cidents declined / per cent.
In October the Safety Councils
records showed $3.50 fatalities, COM
pared with $3.50 in October. 1895.
1t was the sixth consecutive month
In which the toll exceeded that of the
corresponding month of 1895.
Forney said that even If 500 more
died in 1896 than in 1895, the in
crease between years would be small
er than any since 1894. The 1895
toll exceeded that of 1884 by 900
and in 1884 deaths totaled 5000
greater than in 1898.
Also favorable, he said, was a
comparison based on relative gaso-
line consumption in 1886 and 1885.
Figuring that 10 per cent more gas
oline was used in 1885, he computed
the death rate per 100000 gallons
as 9 per cent lower than In 1896.
