the Bnurrnft
-pipe with the llrandywine Inter
At the meeting of the Street and
Sewer Department Wednesday evening
communication was received from the a
Joseph Bancroft Sons & Company ask
ing permission to connect the drain
pipe from their place and from the
Kentmcre factory with the Brandywine
intercepting sewer.
The Bancroft pipe runs from the mills
location along the south bank of the
river to a point about 800 feet above the
15. & O. railroad bridge. There it crosses
tho bed of the Brandywi
nccts with the Augustine mills drain on
the north bank. The dye-stuffs from the
mills empty into the north
head-gates at that point.
The advantage of direct drainage into
the interceptor so far as the public is
concerned is that thero would be a
diminution of the volume of dye-stuff
entering from tho Brandywine
gates at the north race. There
be none at all from tho Bancroft mills
and the extc
be restricted to that entering from the
' ho Augustine mills. Under
.V circumstances the regular oust»)
the Bancrofts was to drain their dy
ir. When this
as lull the Water Department was
iotillcd. The pumps stopped working
while the reservoir was emptying and
tho pumping engines did not resume
k until a sufficient time had elapsed
to preclude any possibility of river water
and con
:e at the
head

of discoloration would
dr

stuff
fuse into
taint.
The head of the Brandywine inter
ceptor is within 100 feet of the bend in
the Bancroft drain, where it crosses the
Brandywine.
If the department make
with the Bancrofts, all
dye-stuffs of the mills
will enter directly into the interceptor.
A thorough drainage system for Ban
croft's Banks will be attainable, and all

angements
drainage and
the south side
is in the diroc
tion of insuring a still pure
of drinking water, and in eve
most desirable sanitary improvement.
The Brandywine interceptor is largo
enough to meet all the demands in
question. At the point referred to the
interceptor has a 20-inch terra cotta pipe.

tho groat national authority ot

and Sewer Department in r
Brandywine interceptor, he arranged
for a capacity of 180 cubic feet per
minute of factory waste and other
matter which would eventually be dis
charged into the sewer from the present
and future mills along the south hank
of the Brandywine. Hence Mr. Ban
has been anticipated in the
construction of the Brandywine inter
ceptor.
Tho matter is now in the hands of the
department.
In taking into consideration the whole
sewerage system the contempla
tion for future action is to construct
another interceptor along the north
hank of the Brandywine. This would
meet nil sanitary requirements in that
region and would do away with the
emptying of any dye-stuffs into the
north race. As a temporary measure
and until the north bank interceptor ho
constructed it would look feasible for a
drain to he thrown from the Augustine
Mills across the Brandywine to tap the
southern interceptor at some suitable
point. Such a measure would at
do away with any use at all of the
north race as a dye-stuff drain and pre
clude the possibility of taint or dis
coloration from any direction entering
the Brandywine at the north race head
gates.

Methodist minister who was convicted
Wednesday of murder in the first degree
for the murder of his wife. Annie, by
cutting her throat, at Winfield, on Sunday,
May 1st, to be brought before him lor
sentence.
When asked by the court if he had any
thing to say. be replied: "Yes, sir; I
bave. J think it very hard and unfair for
a prejudiced jury, composed of different
nations and color from myself, to condemn
a man simply on circumstantial testi
mony."
Hamilton stated that his name was
James Lncurgus Hamilton, and that he
was born in Wilmington, Del.
Judge Cullen then said that the sentence
was that for the felony of murder lie w
to be delivered to the warden at Sing Sing
