DOVER, May 3.-The case of Cove S.
Wilson, indicted for assault upon Re
corder Be wley was called in court yes
terday morning, but by agreement of
counsel it was postponed till next court.

briefly despatched to the EVENING
JOURNAL yesterday, true bills were
found in the case of Graham VS.. Wallis
and Wallis VS.. Graham of Kenton
hundred There was a little breeze in
the grand jury room during the hearing

room on Thursday afternoon and endeav-

Mr. Salisbury was called into the grand
jury room as a Witness he called atten-

members sifted the matter and discov-
cred that somebody had lied as no grand
juryman had been approached by any
one.

Mr., Graham with taking a heavy bribe
from the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, while he, Mr.. Graham. was a
member Of the Delaware Legislature,
and he says he can prove it
and in return, Mr.. Graham charged
Mr.. Wallis with being fraud and
cheat and says he can prove his asser
tions. In the meantime the citizens of
heuton have taken sides on the question
and now sit on store boxes on opposite
sides of the main street making faces at
each other

not feeling well and Judge Grnbb does
not sit in New Castle He is a host in
himself, is the young member, and the
lower counties feel his aid and hold him
in high esteem and honor.
John Causey Of Milford, was among
the prominent figures in the court room
this week. John is enthusiastic over the
prospects of the Democratic party ia the
coming campaign. He says the party
in Sussex is in excellent trim, and will

BY the way, 1t may be mentioned here
that John Biggs, the attorney general,
Is regarded in Kent as one OF the ablest

painstaking men who ever held that office.
