The efforts of the British army were now centered on clearing the river Delaware so that supplies might be brought up rapidly by water instead of being carried fifty miles overland from Chesapeake Bay. Howe detached some thousands of men for this work and there was sharp fighting before the troops and the fleet combined had cleared the river. At Germantown Howe kept about nine thousand men.
Witt is president of the Sun Insurance Company, of Cleveland; director of the Second National, and Commercial National Banks, and Cleveland Banking Company; also, of the Bank of Toledo.

And the couples were so promenading through the wide doorway into the main room the men in furs and moccasins, the women in soft fluffy dresses, silk stockings, and dancing-slippers when the double storm-doors were thrust open, and Smoke Bellew staggered wearily in.
