Nearly 1000 citizens of Chester petit
toned the select council, at its last
meeting, not to lease the Market street
wharf exclusively to the Wilmington
Steamboat Company. The committee
in charge of the matter at the meeting
previous, had reported favorably on a
proposition of the steamboat company
for the exclusive lease of the wharf for
five years, provided it made extensive
repairs to the same. The committee was
instructed to prepare the lease. After
the petition before mentioned had been
received, the lease was presented and
consideration indefinitely postponed.
The council will put the wharf in repair

THE LOGAN CHRISTMAS rnADE.

A Most Encouraging Report From Along
MARKET Street Of the Opening of the
Holiday Business.
Several If the leading business men
of the city were called on early this
morning by representative Of the
the GAZETTE in order to ascertain
facts in regard to the aspects of the
opening Christmas trade.
At one of the lnrgest dry goods and
fancy goods stores of Market street the
proprietor stated that business had COM
menced earlier and opened better than
1t has Tor many seasons. The public
has been freer in buying, and he added
with a grateful smile, "lfthey will only
continue so, we will be thoroughly well
satisfied"
"The fancy china trade is fully as
good as It was in any past season"
another leading merchant remarked,
adding, "last week was magnificent
one"
us business so bad this year as some
people sayY" the reporter inquired of
the proprietor of large jewclry store,
"No," was the reply. at is as good as
It was any Christmas season. There is
no doubt the recent financial furry has
prevented the merchants of Wilmington
from reaping richer Christmas harvest
than was ever known in the trade
records of Wilmington. To explain,
would say that for the continuous year
upto the present time theindustries Of the
city have given to the laboring men the
greatest number of days work, and in
the absence of strikes, would warrant the
belief of satisfactory wages. For in
stance, the bricklayers have been able,
on account of the fine weather, to work
nine months instead Of the average six
or seven during the year. Other trades
have been aided by the same fortunate
fact. Almost continuously for the past
year the manufacturers of Wilmington
have been advertising in the Baltimore,
New York and Philadelphia papers to
come here for hire in our factories.
Such thing has not been known before
since the war. Those are the points
upon which base my idea. The fact of
the immense pay-rolls distributed in the
hands of the people who spend the
money with our local tradesmen is the
argument for expecting an unparalleled
holiday trade. And this is independent
of the good purchasing trade going on
now"
In the building trade while there is
little going on at present the prospects
Tor the spring season are very good. In
view OF the half-a-doZen or so large
business and public structures to be
erected and the usual increase of private
residences the prospects of Wilmington
show no cause for complaint.
Additionally, if the elegant and ar
tistic show windows of the retail stores
along Market street be any indication
of the proprietors' judgment of Will
mington purchasing taste and needs, the
public will most probably respond and
make their holiday purchases here where
they are obtainable at more reasonable
prices than elsewhere.

John ID. sta1cup Thrown From His
Buggy and Left Unconscious on the
Roadside.
John B. Stalcup, stair-builder, Second
and West streets, was driving out on the
Kennett pike Saturday afternoon when
he was met near the Mt. Salem turn by
buggy, whose occupants seemed, as
they drew near, to be quite indifferent
to the "rule of the road" and de-
termined on keeping their position,
which was for them the wrong side.
Mr.. Stalcup turned short off, crowding
his buggy into the mud at the curb,
The men, however, made no attempt to
give way, and the wheels of the vehicles
were suddenly locked with a severe
crash.
In the collision Mr.. Stalcup's horse
was thrown right out of his harness and
the animal ran off in alright Mr..
Stalcup himself in the conclusion was
pitched in a somersault on his head,
striking the back of his skull with
severe blow His left shoulder and arm
were sprained. This was all he remem-
bered until he awoke from unconscious
ness, finding himself lying in the
gutter suffering from the wounds de-
scrlbed. Nobody was around. His buggy
lay all shattered on the roadside near
him. His horse was gone and so were the
brutal drivers Of the buggy who caused
the collision. He got up and struggled
along in his dazed condition and at
length met some kind hearted people
from whom he obtained needed assist
ance. The horse was found a quarter
Of a mile away on the pike. Mr.. Stall
cup was placed in a carriage and driven
to his home, where he was attended by
DIR. Willard Springer. He has been
confined to the house ever since. His
physician thinks he will be able to be
out in few days

A BURGLARS SH4RP TRICK.
The Jewelry Store of j. Clayton Masse,
Again RObhed Inst Night.

Jeweler j. Clayton Massey has again
been the victim Of Il most audacious and
successful burglary at his store, No. 4O4
King street. About 10 o'clock Tuesday
evening a colored man entered the store
and priced some goods. He left again
without making purchase. AS he
closed the store door, he quickly placed
short piece of half-inch board inside
the latch, securely precluding egress by
anyone in the store. The burglars
trick, which had been practiced upon
Mr.. Massey on previous occasion,
was again quite successful. Almost
at the same moment one of the
side panes Of the show window was
crashed in. Before Mr.. Massey could
release himself the thief had gotten
away. 1t was ascertained that a gold
watch value for $50 had been stolen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Massey were in the store
at the time. 1t was all done SO quick
that the man who stole the watch was
not identified as the same as the one
who had entered the store. The latter
is described as Of deep mahogany
color with a perfectly smooth face,
stoutly built, and apparently 20 years Of
age.

To Test the Free Coinage Act.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
DENVER, Col, Dec. 17.-David H.
Moffat, ex-senator Tabor and other
millionaire mining men have decided
upon a bold step to test the question of
free coinage of silver under the present
law. Arrangements have been made
for an agent of Senator Tabor to have
ready bar of silver containing 1000
ounces, accompanied by certificate of
its flneness from the mint This will
be presented at the treasury department
at Washington ard demand made that
it be exchanged for coin. The demand
will of course be refused when writ of
mandamus will be obtained from the
United States court and the matter will
become the ground for a legal battle,
The theory Of this action is that the law
and its Interpretation are unconstitu-
tional and that the government has no
right to refuse coin for bullion.

turned a verdict in favor of the defend
ant. Marks is proprietor of the FyRGa-
ciaI Neics, and a member of the London
County Council Butterfield is an
American company promoter, The ac-
ton grew out of charges contained in a
pamphlet issued by Butterfeld, in which
he accused Marks of stealing iewelry
and money from Mrs. Koppcl, widow Of
the proprietor of the New York Jepssh
Times. Buttertleld pleaded in de-
fence that the charges were
true. The trial has occupied several
days and number of witnesses were
produced on both sides. The most in
teresting testimony was that given by
Mrs Koppel, who testified as 10 the in
innate relations that had existed between
herselfand Marks and the means he had
adopted to get possession Of her prop
erty. Marks testified that the charges
against him were false and that his re-
lation with Mrs. Koppel, both social and
financial, were legitimate.
