A FEW young ladies in Milford have
formed a very dangerous habit. They
appear to be either inveterate babblers
of small talk, and, like the inebriate,
can't give up the habit; Or,their affec-
tions are so clinging, that when they
go to the train to see friend depart,
they must follow the said friend into
the car, where they wait until the train
starts before getting out. We saw, not
many months ago, young lady at
temp to jump off of train that was
rapidly leaving our depot. She was
thrown with much force to the ground,
and would have been seriously injured,
if not killed, had not q gentleman
grabbed her clothing as she fell toward
him. Last Saturday afternoon two
more young not too yOungl ladies, ae-
companied by two tall and popular
young men ensconsed themselves in
two seats Of car on the mixed train
south. The whole party were so inter
ested that they were nearly half way
to Lincoln before the train was stopped
to put them Off This kind Of work
may be fun for the ladies, but it is q
source of much labor and annoyance
for the train men, and is aggravating
TO other passengers.

THE assessment list for the town of
Milford is now hanging in the readirg
room of Lowery's Hotel. Ofcourse u
is a very difficult undertaking to make
an assessmentand pro rate every build
ing in the town; so while there are
few places where the rate could be low
cred ara many where it should be
raised; yet, as a whole, the list is only
fairly made. Mr.. r. II. Davis is
the assessor.

recently escaped from the Dover jail,
has been arrested in Pennsylvania,
where he had robbed the P. and r.

hoped that the Delaware authorities
will not go after him, as 1t will save
the taxpayers his board for the next
two years to let hIm go.
RAcE.-Last Tuesday a trotting race
was held on the grounds of the defunct
"Gentlemens' Driving Park of Mil
ford" Col. A. S. Small entered his
roadster against a colt owned by E. G.

second race was between McCOlley's
colt and T. c. Emory's 'SOrrel Emma,
which was won in 251 by E. c. Nc
Colley. When the gentlemen OF Mil
ford invited the public to patronize
their course, every "mOther's son" OF
them pulled back; but now they see
where the thing was needed. About
two hundred persons attended the race
COURT convened at Georgetown on
Monday. There was the usual large
attendance but very little business OF
interest transacted. The case tried on
Tuesday afternoon would indicate
very low state of morality in the neigh
DorhOOd to which the parties belonged.
1t is pity such cases could not be
tried i'm private, such details will not
improve the morals of the boys who
were listeners. On Wednesday the
fish house question. from Lewes. was
brought up, the evidence was very
conflicting, but it was clear that the

NEW FISHING LAW. - Gov. Stock
lev has approved the recent act of our
Legislature, making it unlawful for
any person not being a citizen of this
State to catch or take fish of any kind
in the Delaware Bay or River, or any
creeks emptying into the same, in the
limit of this State. 1t is claimed, that
under the original deed from William
Penn, the state has jurisdiction over
the river and bay below the Pennsyl-
vania sfate line. In 1871 Delaware
first attempted to enforce this claim
The Pennsylvania and New Jersey
fishermen resisted it, and a number
were killed in conflicts with the Del
aware authorities. Commissioners
were then appointed by the Govern
ors of the States to settle the dispute,
and they arranged a case to be tried in
the United States Supreme Court,
where the matter has since rested. The
New Jersey gill net men were about to
begin operations when they learned
that the Delaware officials lad made
preparations to enforce the law.
