AFTER HORSE THIEVES.
Farmers and Liverymen Preparing Pr
teotive Legislation.

Farmers and Liverymen Preparing Pro
teotive Legislation.
AS stated In Saturdays GAZETTE, a nnm-
ber Of liverynien of this city and farmers of
the neighboring rural districts held a meet
Ing at the Clayton House Saturday after
noon, the object of which was to discuss
needed legislation to protect them from the
depredations of horse thieves etc. j. Poul-
son Chandler was made chairman and j. II.
Hofiecker, Jr., secretary.
The style of the legislation needed was
explained and fully discussed. The especial
law to be asked for was to reach a certain
class of offenders not now amenable under
existing statutes. Farmers and others are
greatly troubled by mischievous men and
boys who, seeing horse and carriage stand
ing In front of dwelling or place of busi-
ness, will jump In and drive off, keeping
the animal away all night and turn.
ing 1t loose Ia the morning, to be
picked up. Then, again, liverymen
frequently hire horses to parties who treat
the animals badly and perhaps cause death
from want of care, or, engaging team for
a specified time, fail tn report at the proper
hour. The plan is to have the offences men
toned, and others of similar nature, rated
as misdemeanors and punishable with a
fine In an action before q justice of the
peace. At present such action cannot be
taken, justices not being permitted to act
upon suits for damages, which,
If taken to higher court, are
apt to be dropped or crowded out by other
business. 1t was also suggested to see
what could be done toward securing author
ity for prosecutors in criminal suits to
engage their own counsel in addition to the
Attorney General Such an advantage, which
Is the custom in the Pennsylvania courts and
elsewhere, would oftener insure cases coming
to trial and show larger list of ofeonvictions.
The Attorney General is not supposed to
take the active interest In every case that
comes to his notice that private counsel
would, and 1t Is not natural that he should.
Many offenders, therefore, through un-
avoidable delay and inattention, necessarily
escape being arraigned. A general inter
change of opinions resulted and the meet
ing adjourned after appointing the follow
ing committee 10 draft law to be pre-
sented at the next meeting of the farmers
and then turned over to the attention OF the
State legislators Adolphus Husbands,
Centreville; G.. B. Dougherty, Wilmington,
and j. II. Hofiecker, Jr., Wilmington.

AFTER JUDICIAL CHANGE.

A Proposed Re,nodeIiDg of the State Ju-
diciary-The Meeting of the Bar Assoc
citation.
The New Castle County Bar Association
held its annual meeting at 4 O'Clock Sat~r-
day afternoon, and elected George Gray,
Esq, president, BENJAMIN Nields vice presi-
dent and George II. Bates secretary and
treasurer. ThesCommittee on Judicial Re
form consisting of Messrs. Gray, Bates,
Higgins, Sharpley, Spruance and Lore was
continued.
the members of the bar In the State at an
early day to consider matters looking to a
change In the judicial System and in matters
OF practice and pleading, the latter embody-
ing modification of the laws and simpli-
fcation of Statutes generally. The presi-
dent and secretary were instructed to call
Getting of the lawyers at an early day
at which these matters will be considered,
and the date of the meeting will soon be
announced. At the meeting there was an
informal but unanimous expression OF
opinion In favor of a constitutional conven-
tiun.
The contemplated change In the Judiciary
is most important one. The proposition
received most favorably Is one by which one
judge Ia provided for In each county, aud
he holds court, and sits alone In all cases
in the Supreme Court, the Court Of General
Session of the Peace and Jail Delivery,
and the Court of Oyer and Terminer at
which capital cases are tried. When
an appeal is taken the case will go to the
Court of Errors and Appeals, and the
Judge before whom the case was tried will
not sit In 1t, the bench being composed OF
The chancellor, who Is the presiding officer,
and the judges Of the two other counties
Under this law the Office of Chief Justice
will be abolished, and all the judgeships
will be declared vacant to be filled by the
Governor when 1t goes into operation. The
members of the bar are to q man opposed
. to having the judges elected, thus bringing
politics into the judiciary, which has been
free from such influences for so many years
An effort will probably be made by the
members of the bar of New Castle county
to have the terms of the Superior Court
made more frequent.

Hale and Hearty.

The Salem, N. j., Sunbeam publishes the
following sketch of an old Delaware farmer,
now resident of Salem, who for over 80
years has been, and yet is, a subscriber to
the GAZETTE Mr.. Ell Biddle, a relative of
Mr.. Thomas j. Craven of this place, with
whom he has resided for some years, is GER
tainly very active for one of his years. He
has passed his 8Sth year, yet danced in a
plain quadrille, distinguishing himself in
the coquette figure of this dance, with some
young people at Mr.. CraVen's, one evening
last week. Mr. Biddleis a retired farmer
from Delaware, whose lie consequently has
been an outdoor one, and to this occupation
may be due credit given for his apparent
freedom from ills naturally incident to old
age. He has been great sportsman, and
was long time considered one of the best
shots in New Castle county, having fox
hunted and gunned considerably when past
so years of age also being fine horseman.
He cast his vote in 1915 for james Monroe,
and is of the same persuasion still. He
reads without glasses, being yet in full pos
session of all his faculties and remarkably
clear headed. He has used tobacco for over
20 years without the slightest apparent in
Jury to his nerves. And he still shows the
horse pistols he carried in the war of 1872.
May he live to be 100 years old

Knapp In the afternoon quite n number
of gentlemen assembled to see Walcott start
off. Walcott sat down at 4,03 O'Clock with
two quail before him, done to a turn. 1t
took him just six minutes to polish the
bones of one. At this stage Mr.. Motfatt
offered to bet Sl00 more that Walcott would
do the feat. Gabe Case took this also,
making the bet $3.50 side. II toak Wal

THE TELEPHONE.
The Wilmington Exchange Moved Into
Its New Quarters.

Its New Quarters.
Superintendent w. T. Westbrook, on
Saturday, completed the transfer of the new
headquarters at Fourth and Market streets
With the exception of about 80 wires all the
boxes connect with the new quarters direct.
The 80 at present run through the
old quarters. A number of improve
ments have been made in the NEW
room, the principal one of which
is the frame upon which are placed the In
dieators of the numerous phones. The
frame is about six feet in height and nine
feet in length, and is arranged for $50 con-
nections, divided into five sections of fifty
each. Each attendant is supposed to have
charge of 100 connections and sits before a
phone placed between the two sections in
charge. Each subscriber will hereafter be
numbered. The apparatus was manufac-
tured by the Western Electric Company OF
New York, and there is room In the present
quarters to make about 800 connecti ons
upon the present plan. The $50 now in use
will be taken up when new subscribers, who
have been waiting for the removal, have
their boxes put in.
A new system of calling began yesterday
and is now used. Instead of using the signals
formerly In vogue the exchange is to be
called for all connections desired. For in
stance, If the Every EUcning office desires
to communicate with the Star, the
former gives one ring, and, on being
recognized by the exchange, says !:
''Please connect us with the GAZETTE" No
sooner said than done, and the tedious
signals are dropped.
In about week book con.
tanning list of those connected
with the telephone system in Phila-
delphia, Chester and Wilmington, and
| elsewhere and their numbers, will be fur
nished to all having boxes in this city. The
manner in which connection will be made
| then will be thus : The Erery Egeniny wants
to call the GAZETTE. A sharp ring is given at
the former office, the operator putting the
| phone at once to his ear and receiving a
verbal reply to his signal. He then says,
"Connect "A" the Every EDening's number,
with 1885," the GAZETTE's number, and 1t is
| done.
The work of completing the transfer of
| wires will be completed this week, and jus t
as soon as is practicable the task of removing
| the old poles will be commenced and the
new will have all the wires. By the new
arrangement the company have the facility
for running 700 wires, having two house-top
routes besides the ones on poles.
Great as has been the increase of tele-
phone communication In this city 1t Is
nothing compared to some other towns and
cities, especially in the Eastern States. One

DELAwARE BAY OYSTERS.
A Big Profit for the Oystorman's AssOOI-

philadelphia Record. ]

hecoru.J
Fifteen years ago Is gentlemen, who were
engaged in the oyster trade in this city, sub
scribed to 80 shares of the stock of the
''Philadelphia Oystermen's Association" Z"
which was then Just organized, paying S. q
share, or a total OF $115 for their % shares.
Since that time these Is gentlemen have be-
come the only shareholders of the associa-
ton, the other shares having from time to
time been purchased by the associ Ltion.
There has not during the Is years of the ex-
lstence of the association been any assess
ments of the stock, SO that the $115, with In
terest for Is years, or less than $3.50, repre-
sents the amount of money the Is stock
holders have put out for their stock. On
Tuesday next every one who hold share OF
the stock will be paid over $500 per share,
the Is shareholders dividing among them
selves over Sl3 $40 as the profits on their in
vestments of Sll5. The association will
then cease TO exist 1t started out by leas-
ing wharves below Dock street at time
when the Delaware Bay oyster supply by
small sehooners and sloops to this city was
brought here In over 500 vessels, and when
it was no uncommon thing for $50 vessel
loads of oysters to be unloading at one time
at the associations wharYes. Three
years ago the association leased the
wbarves at the foot of Brown street, and
an attempt was made to take the trade
away from Delaware avenue, below Spruce,
but the attempt has not succeeded. The
associations lease expired on the 3lst oil
December last, and as no money has betn
made In the past two or three years the body
has determined to break up and divide the
cash on hand. The largest shareholders are
John A. Meyers and the President of the
association, Benjamin Hauce, each of whom
own three shares, and will get over 81 800
The deeadenee of the Delaware Bay oyster
supply to this city by boats is shown In the
fact that now it Is very unusual thing tc
see over rs vessels in port at one time. Most
OF the oysters are now shipped by rail.

the Contract From New Castle.
The New Castle Star of Saturday saws
We are surprised to learn that Sheriff Martin
has taken the business of furnishing the
bread for the prisoners from our bakers
aud given 1t to German baker In Will
mington Why is this? Sheriff Clarke
and all his predecessors got their bread
from New Castle. The jail being here and
Sheriff Martin being a resident here, at
least while in office, we think our people
are entitled to the trade and ought to have
It. We had formed very favorable opin-
ion of Mr.. Martin, and believe him to be u
man who will try to do right. While we do
not claim this to be wrong, we must say,
In all candor, that It is unfair to take any of
our domestic trade away and give 1t to out
side parties who have no interest with u.s..
Already our streets are daily filed with
wagons blonging to Wilmington dealers who
pay no rent here, and can afford to undersell
our dealers. They take some of New
Castle's trade away and we think it Is the
duty OF those whohave been elected to live
with us to help support us. Keep your
trade IN New Castle, Mr.. Sheriff, and you
will be better appreciated by our people

saturday Nights bad walking.

The walking on Saturday night and
Sunday morning was both dangerous and
difficult. The pavements were covered with
sleet, making 1t almost impossible to make
progress without the aid of ereepers, and
the streets were filled with people, The
bad walking was made still more dangerous
by the host of small boys who ran every
where with their sleds. A number of pain
full falls are reported and several collisions
with sleds. John E. Nicholson, formerly
on the Neacs, was one OF the victims of the
small boy. While passing along Seventh
street near French he was knocked down by
a sled containing five boys, running at the
rate of about twelvej miles an hour. He
was severely shaken up and sustained q
painful confusion of ths leg, alt ough fol-
tunately not seriously hurt. A gentleman
slipped and fell on Market street near
Eighth, and for long time lay unconscious
In Watson's drug store. A man was struck
by sled on Fourth street between Jefferson
and Monroe and badly injured. lady fell
at Seventh and Tatnall and was much
bruised. A sled Knocked mar down at
Eighth and Jefferson, and no end of plain
tumbles are recorded.
