was arrested by Constable Collins at
Hockessin Sunday, charged with deser-
ton and non support of his wife. Jack
son had oil his luggage packed. ready
for his departure for the west, where he
was formerly located and where he
wanted TO return. Constable Collins.
however, decided to have him give
security and accordingly brought him to
this city and took him to Justice Berto.

The Office, OF course, was closed, and
the constable trusting his prisoner, left
him moment while he crossed the street
to inquire where Justice Bertolette lived.
When be turned round again, he saw
Jaokson's coat-teils standing out as
straight as checker board, disappear
round the corner OF Third street. The
constable gave chase but the prisoner had
such good start of him that he soon
lost the trail and jackson escaped.
The prosecuting wife was q Miss Anette
Nickinson of Swsnville, Me. She is the
second wife of jackson and they were
married little over year ago and lived
| together but a short time. Mrs. jackson
came to Hockessin shortly after her mar
riage. but remained only short time,
leaving him on the alleged ground Of
brutal treatment. Mr.. jackson, it is
stated, made application for a divorce
before the last session of the General As

jackson is seeking divorce in the west,
and upon its being granted will marry a
woman residing in this city, engaged as a
clerk in o store.

1t is understood that the Choral Club is
in a condition approaching collapsed D.
Cloward, tho president, has signiHed his
intention of yesigning. So has the &C.
companist, L. Leslie Carpenter. The lat
ter gives as his reason his inability to de-
vote his time to the requirements of re-
hearsal. He has served gratuitously for
two years.
The Choral Club has now been in exist
ence over two years. It was organized in
June, 1887. Under ex- Mayor Rhoads the
clab succeeded very we'll until petty ieal-
ousies, it is said, arose, and Mr.. Rhoads re-
tired from the leadership. The severance OF
his connection with the organization was
big loss to the organization, which was
especially apparent at succeeding public
performances.
The average membership of the club
has been 60. Its FIRST public perform
ance was of the csntsta ''Joseph's Bond
age" which was given with remarkable
success 10 the autumn of '87. This was
followed in the spring of '8S by the
rendition OF the "Chimes of Normandy"
a still greater SUCCESS. In January, 's9
'tThe Pirates of Penzancs," was given
with similar marks of public approval.
The last performance of the Bohemian
Girl" was given this spring.
There is a general expression of regret
in regard to the outlook OF the Choral

for he had funds in his hands to do so.
On Saturday I saw in Wilmington
paper that he had not done SO. So tele-
graphed Constable Dillin that l would
come down this morning. came down
and found no arrangement had been made.
Now wish to say that the Office of the

affairs of the company are in perfectly
good shape.

willard salisbury, Esq. Explains
The Course of the Bank.
"The whole story Of the non payment
of that Street and Sewer Department
check has not been told by the press"
said Willard Salisbury, Jr., on Thurs
day to o GAZETTE representa-
tive. "The TACT is that check Was first
presented at the Union Bank between 10
and 1850 q. m. The check was not cor
reotly endorsed and payment was de-
olined for that reason. Mr.. ClarKson,
treasurer of the trust company, returned
to the bank with the check
about II O'Clock. In the meantime
Mr. Dandy had telephoned me to come
back to the bank, the president being
away and he not caring to take the undi-
vided responsibility either of paying or
declining the check. MIR. Clarkson
was shown into the bank where MIR.
Dandy and myself were. and was re-
quested to hold the check until the city
authorities could be communicated with
and their wishes asoertaiued, under the
promise that the check would be paid be-
fore 3 O'Clock or sufficient reason given
for declining payment.
"When Mr.. Clarkson returned, shortly
before O'Clock, he was told that all the
drawers OF the check had requested pay
ment to be withheld, or, in other words,
payment had been stopped by the draw
ers OF the check until Council could be
notified Of the position of affairs, and
take what action they deemed proper.
The avowed purpose in asking payment
of the check was to remove funds from
the city depository which were not to be
used for current expenses Of the Street
and Sewer Department.
"One Of my reasons for advising thai
payment o. the check be withheld wa
that was aware this check had not beer
obtained by she Street and Sewer De
partment in accordance with the pro
yigions of the act creating the depart
ment. That act required that the money
should be paid to them by the city treas
urer on an order or orders drawn on hin
by the Street and Sewer Department
under the hand of its president
aud this provision of law, wbici
should have been complied with befor'
they obtained any money, was entirely
disregarded. The only course the banl
could take nnder the circumstances wa
to withhold payment OF the check, o.
they would have done in case OF an!
other customer of the bank where yer.
large sum OF money was being drawn TO
what was believed to be an illegal pur
pose or where all necessary prerequisite
had not been complied with"

At the meeting OF the Street and Sewer
Department on Saturday the Security
Trust and Safe Deposit Company's pass
book, credlt;ng the department with
Si2D0S0, was placed upon the table. With
that amount OF credit the directors went TO
work Immediately drawing checks for out
standing bills, over $50 OF which were
passed, totaling over $40, 1000.
The additional credit of $50 above City
Councils appropriation 10 explained as
accrued Interest placed to the credit OF the
department on account of interest since
Tuesday last, the date when the check of
5l20,000 was deposited by Secretary L.
Leslie Carpenter with the Security Trust
Company.
The fact OF the Security Trust Company
ereiiting the department with the sum OF
$50 on interest account for the whole time
since August 9th, inclusive OF the date
when the check was protested of the Union
Bank, is looked upon as an estoppel OF any
action against the bank developing from
the protest, rs the interest implies possess
sion OF the money from the date OF deposit,
August 9th.
No objection was made when the check
was presented to the Union Bank and the
trust company was promptly given credit
for the amount of the check. The Union
Bank will pay the costs on the protested
check. -

The Middleton NeD Era says: A
trotting contest between local flyers will
be given on the 23d instant, on the track
OF DR.. j. O. Mccoy, near Kirkwood.
There will be four races, and the con-
tests, no doubt, will be holly contested.
The most interest is centred in the race
between G. F. Brsdy's b. e. Rocket and
w. B. Biggs' b. m. Flirt. These two are
both flyers OF no little speed, and they
will be driven for all they are worth.
The purse is for 5000. There will also
be race between the Beaston mare and
the j. Clayton mare. The third race is
between Mr.. Duhadaway's q. g. Modoc
and Mr.. Manlove's b. g. Gap for purse
OF $50. The fourth race, free for all, en-
tries not to close until day of race, is also
looked forward to with much interest.
Two horses have already been entered in
this contest, j. B. Ford's b. g. Lige and
j. B. Cochran, Jr's., b. m. Florence Bay
ard. Other horses are expected, and the
indications point to rare half days sport.
