State Board of Equalization.

The regular monthly meeting of the
State Board of Equalization was called to
order in their rooms at the State Capitol
yesterday, Chairman Wilcoxson presiding,
and all the members present.
]. G. Nealon, Assessor of San Francisco
county, was before the Board and asked
the members TO look into the matter of the
assessment of vessels. Many that piled
between San Francisco and coast ports
were not registered here, and in conse-
quence about 81 100000 worth OF property
escaped taxation under our State laws. He
thought the matter should receive the az
tention of the Legislature, and all such
should be compelled to pay their taxes in
this State.
Before the Board adiourns for this srs-
sion they will agree upon the form for
assessment blanks for the year 1890.

DELAWARE SOLDIERS

want AN Extra Day in New York
To Petition General kenney.
A correspondent writes There seems
TO be a great deal of dissatisfaction at
present in regard to the trip to be taken
by the Delaware National Guard to New
York on April 90th, to participate in the
centennial celebration of the inauguration
OF Gen. Washington.
The '.hoys" think that If they go over
on Sunday they could very easily march
from the ferry TO their headquarters,
which it is stated is the Seventh Regiment
armory aud that is on Sixty fifth street
and Madison avenue, about 81 or 4
miles from the ferry. but If they don't go
until Monday (the day before the parade)
they ought not be made to march the
distance after being housed up in car
for four or five hours.
Again soae say that there is no COM
pulsion on the part of the soldiers to go
to New York and great many of them
will wait until some definite orders ara
issued before they give their consent TO
go, and then il the orders arc not salts
factory they will stay at home or go as
civilians.
To further the scheme OF going over
ono day ahead joint conference Of CON-
mittees of the city companies was held
recently when it WIS decided to get up u
petition and present it to AdjutGnt-gen-
eral Kenney ae early as practicable.
By going over on Sunday it would
give the men who have not been to New
York chance to see the city or rest, as
they see fit, but on the other hand if they
70 Monday they would not get there be-
fore evening, parade the next day, which
no doubt will be long one, and come
home on the following day, losing half
week and seeing no pleasure whatever.

DUAL LIFE.
Janitor Zones apparently Real

JanItor Jones apparently a Real
istic s.br. JeKyii and Mr. HYDE"
Robert p. Jones, the oolored janitor of
No. 8 school, has apparently been living
q ,.Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" existence
in the community, as has been shown by
the gradual cumulation of evidence
toncbing his dual existence. The negro
Affects ministerial air, with an Immensely
consequential bearing, and assumes
wisdom and virtue which he seemingly
has not. Before being trapped in steal
ing coal from heschool which he Is paid
to watch and care for, he bad compara-
lively good standing with the people for
whom he at times performed tasks and
who saw only the "Dr. Jekyll" side Of
his life. It is now learned that in addition
TO his thefts be was vicious morally and
has been mixed up with many disrepu-
table affairs. At one time he was care
taker for gambling den in the Almond
Buildiag and upon the occasion of raid
OF the joint he saved the keno implements
by carrying them off before the police
reach the establishment with search war
rant. In the testimony of Maggie Joyca
who was sent to the House of the Good
Shepherd recently, there is strong
grounds for suspicion that he served az o
sort of proeurer for social elub in the
Almond Building, at any rate going to
the extent OF secreting the girl in his pri-
vate room when the place wss raidsd by
Mayer Harrington and his police in the
attempt to break up the licentiousness
which existed in some of these social
clubs. Jones has been mixed up in many
shady transactions, but has managed to
keep himself concealed from public view
and escaped the emphatic condemnation
he deserved, and TO retain the esteem of
s number of our leading citizens who
knew only the better part OF the mans
double life. They have, however, since
acquainted themselves With the Mr.. Hyde
part OF the man and have abandoned
their efforts to save him from the whip
ping post in the belief that it would be
misspent sympathy. Jones has been dis
missed from the school janitorship by
the Board of Education.

Jury i'm ahe Daniels, Case.
The Jury in the case Of Frank Daniels
reconyeDed at the ooroner's office at z 30
o'clock, Friday night. The only witness
called was Thomas b. Smith, farmer OF
Oakhill. His story was that he met Miss
Lizzie Webb, the Oskhiil teacher, who
told him of the shooting also OF the lads
condition, and begged him to go for q
doctor. Somebody else had already done
so. On arriving at the farmhouse he
found the folks getting ready to send
Frank to the hospital. He protested to
Mrs. Griswold, again and again, against
doing so. She seemed half crazy with
nervousness, but insisted on sending the
boy away. Frank asked for his teacher,
and after second effort, recognized her.
Mr.. Smith heard Mrs. Griswold say:
"Ain't this o shame. / told Harry
Farmer Griswoid) eeveral t;mts to take
the gun away and now he has forgotten
it, and poor Frank knew nothing of it."
From his prostrated appearance MIR.
Smith thought the boy would die before
he got to the hospital. To Deputy At
torney general Davis-"Mrs. GriswOld
gave no reason for removing the boy.
She was terribly excited. wanted her
to wait until DR.. Greenleat came, but she
didn't seem to understand anything she
WaR SO nervous"
When leaving the farmhouse the wit
ness, along with Miss Webb and little
daughter OF Griswoid, returned together
along the road towards the school house.
The little girl told them that she heard
her mother say that she (Mrs. Griswold)
had requested Mr.. Griswold several times
to take the gun away but he had forgotten
to and now Frank is shot.
Mr.. Davis explained to the jury that
there exists no law in this State applicable
to the use of spring-guus or such arti.
foes, under the circumstances of the tes.
timony inthis case, which would justify the
iury in holding Griswold on the charge
of voluntary homicide.
Following few minutes discussion oi
the testimony the following verdict was
returned
Resolced. That Frank Daniels came to his
death through being wounded by the dis
charge OF spring gun set 10 the chicken
house on the farm of Hatrie Wood and that
we csnsure Harry Grfswold, the tenant ol
the farm named for gross negligence.

FIaHrIsa roR rnnIR RIGHTS.
Brnndysrine Farmers Agitated over
n PrOposed Road Law.


n Proposed Hoad Law.
The farmers of Brapdywine hundred
are agitated over law now before the
Legislature which they claim, il passed,
would be GLASS legislation and would
interfere with their constitutional rights.
Two years ago an act Was passed allowing
any owner aiong the road running from
the Philadelphia turnpike at the Shellpot
to Edge Moor, to repair this road by
macadainixiDg, such outlay to be paid
back by drawing upon the rosd COM
missioners Annually for the amount of
the tax paid by property owners whose
land faces ON this road until the whole
sum is repaid. This road was repaired
during the past winter by William SELLERS
of the Edge Moor Iron Company and is
in fine condition, but uuder the pro-
visions Of this act, he will be repaid the
money which he advanced, in annual in
stalments.
II IN now proposed to amend said law,
SO that the owners along this road cannot
use the road or cause it to be used unless
they put 4, 9 or inch tires on their
wheels according to the weight to be
drawn. This provision is to be enforced
by penalty OF "a for each offence. The
people Of Brandywine hundred are
stirred UP over the matter and ore cirou-
lating petitions which will be presented
to the. Legislature protesting against what
they consider an Infringement of their
rights.

Belgium we went through Germany, Swift

spent large part OF our holiday In Eng

Allemagne, at Rome, we struck the ball
players. They are the European sensation
just now eellpsing Bismarck, the Samoan
question, Boulanger and every continental
topic that exists. We were in the same
hotel and were proud of being Americans.
We went to see the champions play. 1t was
the greatest fun in the world TO hear the
comments. There was a party OF French
ladies seated just in front OF US. They
spoke English fairly well.

This was only specimen of the amusing

good strike the applause around the big
arena was dearening, reminding one OF

he has brought back to Wilmington with
him. "How's thus London style ?" The
sight took the reporters breath away. His
educated tailoring taste was sated with a
view OF the most exquisite English goods
Just the thing for Easter dress parade.

lapse In Paris, but when MIR. Mullin left him
he was fast improving. He will return not

Assessor CurrInder Answered.

Editor GGsetts.: Will you please allow
me little space in your paper to
answer an Assessor who defends himself
in your issue OF March 28th. He says
that he was accused by parties who felt
themselves sggIisved at their assessment
whom he had reduced $l35 on their real
estate and 5000 on their head less than
they were previously assessed for. Now
II he has reference to me, will not say
that he prevaricates, but he says what is
not true; for he raised my assessment
little ever $3 900 more than II wss ut the
last assessment, which he could not have
done had he not wanted TO make the ex-
ira IL cents which he speaks Of, which
will show you. He first takes my farm
house, which has been such for 28 years
and ia so now, occupied by my farmer,
and assesses it for 90 900 as mansion.
This is IL cents No. He then takes q
new tenant house which l built to re-
place an old and dilapidated one, and
assesses it, with 100 acres of land, at
$4,000. This is IL cents No. 2. Then
he makes another cut and assesses so
acres Of wood and brush land at 1872 SO,
which is $45 per acre, just $40 per acre
more than he assessed any Of my
peighbors' land of same quality for.
This is II cents No. 8. Now
when made this statement to
the honorable levy court they sat with
closed mouths and might say with
closed eyes while the honorable Mr.. Wiei
of White CLAY Greek hundred expatiated
on the fairness Of Mr.. Currinder's assess.
ment, and the venerable member from
Brandywine hundred who occupied the
chair, said what they wanted was tc
eqnalize the assessment as much as pos
sibls. 20 consistency thou art jewel.
Mr. Currinder now expresses himself sur
prised to see who he tauntingly styles the
defeated nominee, as one of the witnesses
who, il be had got his rights, would have
been the successful nominee, end woult
have given US fair and Just assessmen
which we have not got. for he would have
assessed the farm buildings with the farm
land and if he found any mansions lyinl
around he would have assessed them al
such. With all due reepect, am yours
