A public meeting was held 10 the Stan
ton Hall on Wednesday evening last for
The purpose OF taking some action con-
corning The condition OF the Wilmington
and Christiana turnpike. The weather
was very unfavorAble, but nothwlthstand-
Ing there was large attendance OF the
most prominent citizens of Christiana
and Mill Creek hundreds, and others who
are obliged to travel the so-called pike
Alter exchanging opinions and thorough
ly discussing the matter, the following
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The Wilmington and Chris
tiana Turnpike Company have neglected
to keep the road In good condition &C
cording 10 their chatter, and It is now
and has been for some time unworthy the
name Of turnpike, and
Whereas, The community using said
road has betn paying increased toll for
the last year, while the road has been
growing almost impossible, and is now
In many places much Inferior TO our COM
mon roads, and
Whereas, We have been fully aroused
to the injustice Of paying toll thereon;
therefore be It
Resolved, That committee Of I've be
appointed, with the power 10 employ
legal counsel, to devise some means
whereby the said pike may be made a
free road.
The preamble aud resolution were
adopted, and the pre- sident appointed the
following as the committee; j. W. II.
Watson, j. A. Crauston, J. H. Gould,
Reuben SatterthwAite and r. G. Justice.
These gentlemen are well and iavorably
known CO honest, nsclentious men, aud
nothing but the extreme necessities OF the
case would induce them TO take any
action against company that has been
In existence before any Of them were
born, and If there be remedy for this
evil the public can rest assured that 1t
will be found.
A Finance Committee, consisting of @.
NJ. Groome, Reuben Satterthwaile and
Joseph H. Gould, was appointed, who
immediately went TO work and quite q
large sum OF money was raised, nearly all
present cheeriully contributing.
The committee then adjourned to meet
again at the call OF the president.

A novel aud somewhat Intricate case
Will shortly be brought before Register
Bradford for settlement, which involyes
the validity OF Will, made BY the dece-
dent, which was not discovered until
after another will previously made had
been probated and tina e.tate settled.
The facts Ut the case as presented to the
Register are as follows: King D1lbow, q
wsll-known citizen, residing at Fourth
end Orange streets, died la July 1881,
and q will was found dated 1872, in
which he devised all his property, valued
at about $4,000, TO his wife, Margaret
Dolbow.
This will was probated aud the case
settled. Mrs. DolbOw died 10 1888, and
1t was found that she had lett a will di-
yiding the property between son, John
X. Dolbow, and daughter. Mary Dol
bow, leaving nothing for another 500.
William II. Dolbow. There were also
several coliclls making bequtsts to grand
children. John X. Dolhow did not like
the terms of this will, and he called ON a
lawyer TO see what could be done about
1t, when he found that gentleman held
another will made by King Dulbow In
1880, eight years later than the first will,
and which, In tead of giving Mrs. DOlbOw
all the property, lett her 5000 during
her lifetime, the principal to go 10 the
children at her death. 1t also provided
that the remainder of the estate was to Ice
held In trust for the benefit OF his chill
dren, and TO descend to the graudchil-
dren at their death. Register Bradford
will now be called upon to decide which
OF these wills is the valid instrument and
now the estate shall he settled.

The Philadelphia Press has the follow.
Ing concerning Q man who 10 said TO have
resided In this city for short time.
"Dr. Levi W. Harding, "a years, Of
East Petersburg, Lancaster County, who
was found nourishing knife in the
corridor OF the postofflce early yesterday
morning, was later In the day examined
by Police Surgeon Andrews. He ap-
pearod to be quite rational during the
Investigation and made plain, straight
forward statement regarding himself.
"He said that he graduated from JEFF
ferson Medical College in 1886, and re-
turning to his home engaged In the drug
business and practice of medicine. He
became victim Of neuralgia and In
somnis, and, in order to obtain relief,
administered morphia hypodermically.
In short time he became slave to the
drug. On ore occasion he attempted
suicide by hanging, but was discovered
by cousin and cut down. Subsequently
lie became connected with electric light
companies In Norfolk, Va, and Whining
ton, Del.
On Saturday last he came to tbis city.
The interval between that day and yes
terday morning was blank to him. He
remembers having borrowed seventy Ave
cents with which 10 pay bis fare home,
but spent the money for morphine. He
said that when he awoke in q police cell
he imagined that he was in an asylum for
the insane.
DIR. Harding was frat taken to the
eixth Police District and sent from there
by Police Surgeon Andrews to Central
Station. At the latter place he became
80 excited that the surgeon sent for DR..
Angney, the district physician, and had
him administer a proper dose OF NOR.
phine. Papers on the prisoner showed
that he had been forging the names q
physicians in this city TO prescriptions to
obtain the drug. He told the surgeon
that be could now take from ten TO six
teen grains AZ time.
Surgeon Andrews telegraphed his
father, Hiram Harding, and he answered
asking them to send his son to the Phila-
delphia Hospital. The Surgeon, how
ever, thought that was not the proper
place for him and sent him home last
evening in care Of DR.. G. NJ. Bradn.ld on
the $40 train for Lancaster. telegraphing
his father he might expect him.

A QUESTION FOR ME TO ANSWER


is the Public q Pack Of Big Fooisf
Some people must certainly take the
public for pack of idiots, or they must
think the only way TO persuade people to
give up their hard earnings, or pay out
rageous profits is simply TO throw out
poisonous bait through the newspapers.
A lew years ago some people with stone
like heads gave two dollar present with
ten dollar suit OF clothes and pro-
nonneed the suit paralyz ing bargain.
Can any reasonable psrson see how 1t
Ia, that merchant pretending to sell at a
small living profit can give such costly
presents away without adding the cost OF
the useless article to the price of the suit
", here Is another easy question,
Would you rather pay twelve dollars for
a suit OF clothes simply because It is
offered to you, among the sweet smell of
pond lilies and tea roses intermingled
with "chin" and other sounds, or 90 right
straight to house that don't have to
mislead people by clap-t trap advertising,
and buy the identical articles for IS less.
No greater waste OF money can bs made
than advertising In way to mislead buy
ere.
The workingmsn especially who la bors
for his hard-earned dollars and that
wants substantial goods is the one who
speedily discovers such frauds, and shurs
such houses. Let every advertiser adver-
tise like the popular Louis Fellhelmer,
the proprietor OF Economy Clothing Hall,
400 Market street, q man who commands
the public confidence by advertising just
what he has for sale, and where the hum
blest, the most ignorant, and the wisest
get treated with the same honest, upright
treatment, and . man whose motto Ia,
One price, satisfaction to everybody, or
money refunded with the greatest Of
pleasure, and kindly don't forget this
valuable information,
