Dover. Jan. 20.-The messengers sent
by Sheriff Fenimore after George s. Dill,
w. d. Walls and Harry Fenimore have
been heard from and the mystery sur
rounding Dill's acknowledgement Of his
identity TO the Virginia authorities Is
cleared up. A brief telegram from
Rocky Mount last night, says that Dill
was under arrest there for horse stealing
so the impression is that he prefers to
serve out five years in Dover Jail, and
perhaps fifteen in Virginia, and hence he
told them down there all about the ale
glance he lowed to Sheriff Fenimore The
despatch further stated that the messen.
gers with Dill in charge would start on
their return trip this morning.
This horse stealing affair is a genuin e
surprise to all who knew Dill here as
before the Porter shooting affair, for
which he was convicted he bore a good
reputation.

Several Little Kicks.

The lamps on the western side Of the
northern approach to the Brandywine
bridge were demolished ten days ago, but
they have not yet been replaced.
The approaches to the Brandywine
bridge are in as horrible condition as
the negligence of somebody can allow.
Mud three inches deep cover the edges
near the passageways, and is offensive
with age. The street cleaners made an
attempt sometime ago to clean the street
but stopped before it was done.
The sidewalks on the southeast corner
Of Tenth and Shipley and the northeast
corner of Fourth and Shipley streets need
repairing Immediately.
The street cleaners attacked the sccu
INFLATED earth OF ages on West Fourth
street Saturday, and found the job hard
work. The street was in its infancy
when last cleaned, and il now naturally
clings to its filth.

Outside the rail the populace did sit,

But Hyland spoke, the well-fed clerk
of court. 'Most honored judge, the
reason is unknown, but In the station
cells there are no men, who since the sun
did rise on yester-morn, have failed, with
diligence and care to keep the law Of

AHA and is that so, the judge re-
marked, then justice once again, with
due respect, has been observed, and

Then spake the chief, mo man was
found by me, or any of my officers, who
did, with evil mind, defiant Of the law,
get drunk or do thing to cause arrest. =
"Then it is well, the Judge did calmly
say "We'll hold no court to-day, and

out into the yard, where the others were

steers, weighing about l,3OO pounds

State" The speaker argued that the
liquor traffic defeated the objects Of good
government and prevented the perfect
realization Of freedom. 1t prevented the
formation of a perfect union Of states as
defined by the Constitution Of the United

food with rum one which has local option
