JUVENILE eoBBERs.



Between the hours of 10 a. inland 5

an entrance through the windows
Biggs, j. Jackson Pierce and b. Frank
Townsend on West Seventh street and
completely ransacked the rooms. Moth
ing of much value was taken. Things
were turned topsy turvey and thrown
promisculously about the floor. The
thieves broke open several drawers in
the offices and threw the contents about
the room.
From the Office of John Biggs they
made off with revolver, and another
revolver was also taken from the office
of j. j. Pierce. All of the offices are
situated on West Seventh street be-
tween Market and Shipley Exchange
Building) and adjoin each other.
The robbery was evidently the work
of juvenile robbers, as the only objects
thus far missed are the revolvers. 1t is
thought the lads were seized with the
wild west fever and knowing of the
whereabouts Of the firearms they deter
mined to have them at all hazards.
They succeeded in littering the floor of
Attorney general Biggs room with
heaps OF legal documents, such as deeds,
searches and other law papers. An en-.
trance was effected by means Of pas.
sageway in the rear of the three
offices. The thieves went down into
the cellar under the stairway leading
to the old tax office and climbing up ON
the ledge of the party wall they crept
along until they reached the windows
Of the office. In the office of j. J. Pierce
they broke a large pane of glass in the
rear windows and crawled in through
the opening. In the office of Mr.. Biggs
the thieves reached through an opening
in the window pane, removed the fas-
tening and in few minutes they were
inside. That they were boys is evident
from the fact that the opening in the
window of Encouragement Biggs'
office was only large enough for a boy

The case, in the event of the arrest Of

Gently purchased from the Hockessin
kaolin works the stock of sand that has
accumulated since the works started and
all they will turn out for the next three
years. The quantity they purchased in
bulk is equal TO 10000 carl loads This
sand is accumulated from the washings Of
the kaolin clay, as before the clay is tit for
use every particle Of sand must be washed
dumped near the works, until two huge
piles accumulated. The scarcity Of sand
lots in this vicinity and the increased de-
mand for sand led the purchasers into this
venture. They have constructed a siding
from the Delaware Western railroad to
their sand piles and load right on to the
cars. Some of this sand is being used in
the Belgian block paving between the rails
of the city railway track on French street.

The Ex-Governor Appointed Register of
Wills for Sussex County.

Governor Reynolds, on Monday ap-
pointed Ex-Governor Charles G. Stockley
of Georgetown register of wills in and
for Sussex county.
This contest ends one of the most
interesting struggles for office ever
known in Sussex county. The candi-
dates were ex Governor Stockley and
Robert c. White, Esq, of Georgetown,
and Josiah Marvel OF Nanticoke hum
dred. The latter is the father Of Secre-
tary Of State David 7. Marvel. The
contest was very animated but Governor
Stockley had the largest and most active
following and easily carried off the
prize.
This appointment will enable Cover
nor Stockley to round out quite varied
experience in official life. His first
public office was treasurer Of Sussex
county in the early fifues. In 1856 he
was elected sheriff Of the county. In
1872 he was elected State senator, serv-
ing during the sessions Of 1878 and 1876
the latter session as speaker. In 1882
he was chosen governor of the State.
Personally Ex-Governor Stockley is
one of the most popular of men. He is
of genial nature and kindly disposition
and his many attractive traits of charac.
ter have gained for him hosts Of friend.
all over the State. He is in his red veal
having been born October 9th, 1919. The
appointment will be received with gene
raj satisfaction.

Dry Goods Economist.
Cloth grounds in dull check effects in
marine blue, blush gray and bronze are
among the most salable stuffs for ulsters
for next fall. The dull, barely visible
checks are formed by very small stripes.
With few lines skillfully arranged are
obtained effects which have made these
goods great favorites. Large and small
checks are equally represented.
Another style which has found favor
shows large, dull, square effects, the
large squares holding smaller on
These are more cheviot-like goods,
are nevertheless in cloth-like finish, al
are distinguished by their strength.
Mapped and twisted grounds have
been purchased willingly and in large
quantities. They are divided into large
and small squares by colored twist lines.
Vicuna grounds, with colored squares,
white nap; cheviot and cloth grounds
with white nap, and foule grounds with
nap effects, are represented in all colleos
tions, although they have not taken
strong hold. Buyers have only pur-
chased them experimentally, waiting to
see what favor they will meet with be.
fore ordering more.
Mapped cheviot grounds, with.fgures,
bombs and cubes similar TO th0se seen
in the spring, have been made for fall.
Stripes are but slightly represented in
the collections, but some nice dull stripe
effects on cloth grounds are seen.
In plain ulster cloths the best repre-
sented are cheviots in plain and diago-
nails or with cheyron relief stripes.
These aforementioned effects are met
with on the very plain cheviots we'll
as on the better foule and came iair
grounds. They are in diagonn iort
stripes, which are made up OF mall
mohair dots.
Cloth-like cotelines have also been
made for ulsters.
In quite cheap half-woo ulster stuffs
cheviot grounds are foun i,h length
and diagonal stripes. Ii is ,,.obablc that
much change will occur during the sea-
son in the stutfs mentioned, which are
considered readily salable for ulster pur-
poses.
As regards color, it may be stated that
a fresh marine blue has been largely
ordered. Handsome clean grays, such
as iron gray and platinum, have been
favored. Nappy grounds with checks
have been chiefly ordered in grays.
Bronze shades find a few admirers.
The blush gray, which was a favorite
last year, is still in fair favor for cheap
goods In plain cloth and cheviot black
ought to meet with favor.

There is much complaint over our mail
service, and we think the complaint is a
Just one. The postal service of the coun-
try is for the accommodation of The neo-
pile, and there is no good reason for poor
mail service i'll this State. The mails are
mostly carried by rail with us and we
have excellent railroad service, rossi
bly, as good as any state or
any people not located directly
between the great commercial centres
While this is so, and while we have train
after train each and every day and at al
most every hour in the day, we get but
poor mail service. in fact the poorest for
years. Somebody is responsible for this state
of affairs, and it is the duty Of our public
men to look into the matter and have the
abuse remedied at once

Harry Peoples, recently of this city,
now with the Newport News shipping and
Docking Company, is here on short
holiday visit. He relates an interesting
fact in regard to the outlook of American
commerce with South America. Last
week the company's steamship Alliance
had to leave 1000 tons of breadstuffs and
provisions destined for Brazil on the
wharf, the ship being already full laden.
The excess was sent south by tramp
steamer. A similar story is the record If
the previous steamer Of the company the
Advance, which left Newport News the
week previous. The demand for Ameri-
can freight is more than the company can
supply with its present fleet.

The Trees Of the Lord Are Fun Of
Sap" The great cedars of Lebanon, he
thought, were the subject Of the express
sion, but there Were big trees and little
trees among Gods people, and some had
plenty Of sap and some none at all.
The preacher knew all about peaches
which grow on his bailwick in the
Diamond State. in the early season.
said he, naughty men down in our
county send little peaches to the north
that come from trees that have died of
the yellows.' Worms attack the roots
and the sap runs out. The fruit is not
fit for hogs to eat, but still you people
eat it innocently. | am afraid some Of
my hearers have the yellows, too, and
are sapless, but you have a remedy for
your disease In humiliation and prayer,
and the sooner you get your sap re-
newed the sooner you will be able To
take upon yourselves the work God de-
signed you to perform" Children
meeting was led by the Rev. Gladstone
Holm and the address was delivered by
the Rev, i. i. Fernley. At night there
was preaching by Mr. Fernley.
