and our citizens hurried from their
homes to find the large barn of Ike
Suthers' under the control of the
frey element. The building was
too far gone when discovered TO
save it or any of it's contents, con-
sisting of two horses, owned by
Charlie Benson, a buggy, and several
ether useful articles. 1t was evident
that the fire originated inside, as all
within was under full blaze when
entrance was effected. The barn

Tax Collecting BY Force.

HOW cHRIsTIANA HUNDRED coll
LRcToR TRIED TO ENFORCE THE
PAYMENT OF SCHOOL REVENUES.
John Spencer formerly lived in
Christiana Hundred and some time
ago moved into Wilmington, taking
up his residence at No. 926 West Sec
ond street. 1t seems that when he left
he was in arrears for school taxes Tor
1889, to a small amount. John Jor-
don, the collector, endeavored to col
lect it several times and SO far failed.
Yesterday Mr.. Jordon drove into
town and called at Spencer's house,
finding no one home but his wife, he
asked for the amount of taxes due,
and she replied that she did not have
the money at that time, but would be
able to give it to him soon, as her hus-
band had found employment. Mrs.
Spencer then closed the door, when
Jordon caught hold Of her, and as
saulted her roughly, having first gain
ed an entrance by kicking in the door.
In addition to thus attacking the de-
fenceless woman, he set up lusty cry
for the police, in the midst of his at
tack. Finally he left, concluding that
the money could not be secured at that
time, no matter how much force was
used. Mrs. Spencer was very roughly
handled Jordon hurt her arms and
wrists, and hit her in the breast.
She brought suit against him before
Magistrate Brady this morning for as
sault and battery and trespass, and the
case will come up for hearing soon.
The law governing the collection Of
school taxes is found in Chapter AZ,
Section IA of the Revised Statutes,
which provides that if person who
should pay such tax, removes from the
district or dies before it is paid, it shall
be deemed a collectable debt due the
collector, and can be recovered by a
suit before justice of the peace.

plated by the law, Democrats ought t.
be represented among the Supervisors
and that ''in view of the fact that thi

for the apportionment of represents

not only that the Supervisors shall b
personally competent, but that the +,
suits of their labors shall be above su
picion from any standpoint, politics
or otherwise.
