0rnnr1

Why ShOutd wilmington Depend
ON Charity 10 Ran ats Law and
Oruerr
The following appeal which has been CIR
culate1 in this city explains itself;
WILMINGTON, DEL, Oot. ~, 1S69-Dedr
Friend: Owing to the many calls upon US
recently cur treasury is 10 a depleted con-
dition. AS you are aware, the City Coun-
ell refuses to advance to the mayor any
money to aid him In detecting and punish-
Ing the many forms OF Vice, crime and law
lessness that infest our city. Feeling that
the work should not be permitted to stop
or languish for want OF funds, we have
supplied the mayor with the money he re-
quired for its prosecution, so far IS we
were able to do so, receiving from him
full statement OF the manner In which such
money was expended.
The results have, we believe, fully justi-
led this expenditure.
During Mayor Harrington's incumbency,
the number OF convictions for selling liquor
without license, selling on Sunday and sell
Ing to minors. up to April, 1889, is 43.
Amount OF costs and fines, 81 63S.
Number OF arrests for keeping gambling
houses, "a. Number OF arrests for keeping
disorderly houses, 8. Fines and costs,
$l44.55.
lll-tama, IA. Fines and costs, $472.95.
Sunday, %. Fines and costs. $l0D.
Making the fines amount to about S3 500.
Since that time number OF conviCtlons
and fines have been secured.
We have decreased the number OF saloons
In the city by about so, and prevented
large number OF new places from receiving
q license.
1t ia recognized fact that the laws gov.
erning saloons are better observed than
ever before, and IL Is conceded that this
result has been mainly secured by the
efforts put forth by this society. We have
received from the city authorities urgent
appeals for funds 20 enable them to pro-
ceed at once to bring to Justice number
OF gamblers and Illicit liquor dealers who,
1t is believed, are beginning again to tako
courage and operate.
We are anxious to comply with the re-
quest but are unable to do 80 because our
treasury is exhausted, We are also In need
. OF funds to carry on our work OF opposing
licenses before the court. Belieyingt that you
will be willing TO further assist In this
work, the vital importance Of which TO the
material and moral welfare OF our city we
| need not dwell upon, we respectfully invite
| you to renew your subscription. Remit
lance made to the treasurer will be- thank
| fully received and carefully expended by
| the society.

that the threatened litigation between tho
bank at Georgetown and Charles Treat and

be sustained by the bank or rather the
stockholders cannot bs determined until

Prof. slattery of the Fort Wayne
Jenney Electric Light Company is max
ing for Wilmington gentleman an cleo
trio motor to be used in driving tricycle..
The motor ;s compact little thing much
lighter in weight than any similar iuyen-

power. II was invented by Prof. Slattery
and as soon as perfected will of course be
placed on the market.
The electric motor to date has proven
impracticable because it IS TOO heavy and
too expensive AID must be recharged 30

desired.
AS soon az the invention is perfected,
Prof. Slsttery's fortune will be made. He
is young Irlshman who has only been
in this country for three years, but he is
already regarded by experts as only sec.
ond to Edison. He is the inventor OF
the alternating system and he gives much
promise of original research.

Quite novel idea, and one which certain
ly merits attention, was propounded at
banquet given in his honor by N. Gustave

the president of several industrial and COM
mercial associations. The company, $50 in
number, included many well known persons,
and several telling speeches were delivered,

guest OF the evening. After alluding to the
regret which would be felt here if the chief
buildings OF the Champ de Mars were demol-
shed, NJ Sandoz went on TO suggest that an
annual fair should be held on that favorite
site on the same lines as those of Mini Nov-
gorod in the east and Of Leipzig in toe center
Of Europe.

during which the two great fairs to which he
alluded lasted, business 10 the amount of more
than a millisrd Of francs was transacted The

were always glad TO come to the French
metropolis, would bring with them produce
which, under existing conditions, native mer-
chants were compelled 70 seek elsew here-at
