NEWARK, Oct. For some time the
directors OF the Newark National Bank
have realized that their present banking
rooms are too small and entirely inad-
pquRte to the volume of business done.
From time to time improvements and
alterations have been made but their
present quarters are far from satisfactory
through lack of room and vault capacity.
The bank at present is in ono end of
very large brick residence occupied by
the cashier, George w. Lindsey, and in
case this can be probably disposed of
the bank directors will lose no time in
erecting banking house that will have
no superior in the State south Of Will
mington. In this case none of the
modern appliances for security, comfort
and convenience usually found in city
banks will be lacking in Eewerk's new
bauk. II is also part of the diroctors'
present plans to have collection OF
small losk boxes and safes for rent.
The colored hey, Levi Taylor, arrested
at Cooch's Bridge on Saturday afternoon
by Detectives Jones and Yandegrift for
attempting to wreck trains on the New
ark Il Delaware City railroad, bears nm
unsavory record IN this vicinity for one
so young in years. Several years ago he
worked fos farmer named Yates on the
Elkton road, and becoming displeased
ono day at his master he quietly made q
fire in the barn. In short time the
binding with all its contents was de-
stroyed and some time afterwards the
boy ia said TO have acknowledged that he
started the confagration. Again it Is re-
lated OF him that while working on on
other fam he vented his spite against his
employer by poisoning number OF pigs
md young calves and extracted much
quiet amusement from watching their
death struggles. In his own neigheor-
hood he has rendered himself huge
nuisance by persistently breaking the
hydraulic puIoping ram belonging to
William Cooch. It seemH clear case OF
totsl depravity oil around and the neigh
pof'G prediction that lie would yet land
in jail is certainly verified.
