TRANSFERRED STRAwBE@Y CHECKS IN
LAw.-Recently an important decision was
rendered in one of the lower Peninsula Courts,
regarding the value of the "chscks" which
are given to oyster packers and fruit packers,
to show the extent and character of the work
performed by them, and which before having
cashed they frequently trade off for goods and
merchandise. Ths case is as follows:
Messrs. Cook & Zell, large strawberry grow
ers, issued a number of counters, indicating
the number of quarts of strawberries picked
by the holders of them. These checks were
taken by some merchants in the neighborhOod,
for merchandise. who sued Messrs Cook 4
Zell in their own names. The merchants,
Messrs. Dryden, of jamestown, obtained Judge
ment before a magistrate. Cook & Zel ap-
pealed. The Court reversed the judgment,
and held that these counters did not entitle the
merchants to recover upon them, except where
there was contract expressly implied with
the merchant that the grower would redeem
them or unless the picker, to whom the counts
were given had made written assignment OF
his claim for labor in picking to the merchant,
in which last mentioned case the assignee
would take the claims, subject to any set-off on
the part OF the grower.-Comneercia

THE STATE DEBT-The Committee of the
Legislature appointed to settle with the State
Treasurer and receive the report Of the Auditor
of Accounts, met in the State Lbray at Dover
on Tuesday Of last week. The State finances
were shown to be in healthy condition. There
is surplus of over $4,000 now in the
treasury, which is to be applied to the pur-
chase Of State bonds, and thus reducing ths
State debt. Bonds to the amount of SCI, 900
were purchased during last year. The State
Indebtedness, represented by the State bonds, is
Sl,23l 900. The credits, which consist OF rail
road mortgages, bank stock, school fund, &C.,
are $l,072, ,405.04, which, deducted from the
figures above. leaves $l5S, 1914 96 as the net
Indebtedness of the State. The School fund,
hUwvver, though included in the assets, could
not, as we understand be used for other than
the purpose for which it is applied. The
statement shows a clever reduction of the debt.
but, in view of the heavy taxation, it might
have been more. Parties who pay taxes on
real estate and also on the mortgages held against
that real estate, have, if that oppressive tax
be continued, gloomy vista of fifteen or twenty
years before them, before the State debt is
cancelled, while members of loan association,
the tax upon which retards their running out,
have a prospect little brighter. 1t will be bad
policy not to ease those burdens.

The SHIP CANAL is again ON the tapis in
the Maryland Legislature. We publish an
article relative thereto in another column.
Mr.. b. II. Latrobe, civil engineer of Bati-
more, who, some years since, at the request OF
President Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, looked into the question of route
tor such canal, writes letter TO the Bait
Oa@ette in which he favors the Sassafras route.
Commencing at or near Georgetown, on the
Sassafras, it would run TO Blackbird Creek, Al
miles above the Breakwatsr. The length OF
bay navigation would be thirty four miles on
the Chesapeake and forty-six miles on the
Delawars-eighty in all--sud of river on the
Sassafras, about twelve miles, leaving eighteen
miles OF canal proper.
OF the Chester river route Mr. L. thu,
speaks: 1.-The route by Chester river would
turn dozen the Chesapeake Bay twenty tive
miles to the mouth of that river, which it would
ascend thirty eight miles, passing Chestertowr
to. its tidal head, and pass thence by Milling
ton over TO the head waters of Duck Creek
which it would descend by Salisbury [DucI
Greek to the Delaware Bay. forty miles abov,
the Breakwater. The length Of the very heavy
cutting through the watershed would bo prob
ably about twelve miles. This route may b,
shortened some seven miles by cutoff a
Eastern Neck, opposite Kent Island at wha
expense cannot now be estimated. If it cal
be advantageOusly made,- the route would b,
but three miles longer than by Sassafras
There would be sixty four miles in Maryland
and sixteen miles in Delaware"
The Choptank and Breakwater route vii
Seaford, would be too long. The distanc
down the Chesapeake bay and up the coast o
Cape Henlopsn and the Delaware Breskwate
is shout S25 miles. The saving distance from
baltimore to sea-going vessels woull be q

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. George NJ. Ward, Of
Salem, N. j., rich and well ll.kuown Quaker,
who frequently preached in Wilmington, some
time ago got into financial difficulties of very
serious character out of which grew charges
affecting his integrity. These charges he Wig
orously denied, though admitting his overwhel-
ming failure, which, it is said, was so complete
that he would not be able to pay his creditors
ten cents on the dollar.
He was greatly overcome by his misfortunes,
especially after being threatened with arrest OH
a criminal prosecution for obtaining money on
false pretences. AT half past 10 o clock Tues
day night of last week. Deputy Sheriff Of
Salem county went to Wards residence to ar,
rest him, and not finding him in the house he
searched the premises and found him lying in
the yard with his throat cut from ear to ear.
He was still alive at last accounts and it is
thought he will survive his self-inAictsd in
juries.

Mr. S4UlsBURY's "GRAB. "A correspon-
dent of the Eray Ereaing says that Senator
Eli Salisbury never drew his share of the
Congressional salary grab,' consequently the
$4,000 or 5000 thus unjustly voted to him,
(he voting in the negative) is covered back
Into the U. s. Treasury without his ever even
lingering it. We presume the statement is
authentic and we hasten to correct our state
ment of last week to the effect that Mr.. S.
drew the grab" The impression is, or was,
universal that he took it, inasmuch as his
name has never appeared in the ''roll of
honor published in the New York Tribune,
and other leading journals that took especial
pains to keep posted on the subject. We
scaned the roll carefully from time to time and
feel sure that Mr.. S. name was not in the

follows: Association has determined to offer

loan of $4,000 for the purpose of making fur
ther improvements, and has set aside sites for
two hotels and several livery stables, and is of

perance, located in that town. The Division
has been defunct for IS or 20 years, and the
officers Of the Odd Fellows Lodge wanted to
know to whom the money should be paid.
The fact that the money was due had been lost

that the money was loaned the Odd Fellows in

The KENT COUNTY MUTUALLY the clear
statement of the condition of the Kent County
Mutual Insurance Company, as transmitted
for the inspection Of the stockholders last week
by Mr.. VIM. Denney, ir., the efficient Secretary
and Treasurer OF the Company, it is shown to
be the richest and most prosperous fire insurance
company in the State. 1t now has a net
surplus, or cash capital to meet losses of nearly
$4,000, and it has property insured and sub
ject to risk to the amount Of over $4, ,6S6, ,OOO
The fear has been expressed by some of the
stockholders that the prosperity Of the Company
has had the tendency to ''turns the heads" OF
some of the policy holders about Dover, and
cause them, for personal ends, to seek to run
the institution into proAigacy The proposition
to purchase the County Building, in that town
pointed to such result and had the tendency
to alarm the policy holders throughout Ksut
and Sussex. Hence there was large attend
ance at the annual meeting, on Wednesday
last. SO strong was the sentiment against
such scheme that its projectors did not dare
to show their beads. 1t was even denied, al
the meeting, that such project was on foot
yet the announcement to that effect was made
in the public prints, and the Levy Court wa:
conveniently in session on that day. All the
members of the Company in Dover, however
who have no axe to grind, in the way of dis
posing of real estate to some public institution
were opposed to such a wanton waste of the
Company's capital, and If the scheme had been
persisted in it would have resulted in the
disruption Of the thrifty, safe corporation, il
we may predict any thing from the tone Of
policyEolders
