DE14WARE COUNTY LICENSES.
Lenni and ConcordviIle Must Go Dry
AnOther Year.

MEDIA, PA, Jan. 2.-The annual Ii
cense court for Delaware county was
held by Judge Clayton this morning, in
the presence of "a applicants, friends
and a large number of prominent citi-
zens. His honor attacked the list in a
business-like way by granting all licenses
to old houses against which there were
no circumstances filed. He then scanned
the claims of those remaining very
closely and refused all newcomers. He
struck out the Paramount Hotel, at
Lenni, Of which John Mccartney has
been proprietor for many years.
The hotel at Concordville, which had
been kept by James Neeld until his IL
cense was taken from him over four
years ago for selling grog to a 20-years-
old boy, was also refused license, there
being 800 rcmonstrants; so Concordville
will also go dry.
Judge Clayton stated from the bench
that hereafter no one need expect him
to grant new license for restaurant.

UPpER BANKs REBUrLT.



The little hamlet of Upper Banks,
wrecked by the disastrous explosion of
the du Pont mills, has been rebuilt and
the survivors of that awful calamity are
happy again in the occupancy of their
renovated homes. Nearly all the scars
wrought by the terrible disaster have
been eifaced, from the little hamlet and
the affair will soon be but sad memory
to the many whose friends lost their
lives through the explosion.
The Messrs. du Pont, with their char
acteristic generosity have repaired asf far
as in their power the individual losses
sustained by their employees. The furni-
ture, in the wrecked houses, which was
destroyed, has been paid for at its
owners full valuation. The several
residents Of the Upper Banks were di-
rected to make out a list of their per-
sonal losses incurred through the ex-
plosion. This has been done and every
item of loss paid in full without delay
or question. So the people of the Upper
Banks have,as far as it is within human
power, been compensated for their losses.
In addition to this the bills of the physi-
clans attending the injured have been
paid by the firm, the undertakers' bills
settled and the damage Ito all adjacent
property occasioned by the explosion
has been repaired at the expense of the
powder makers.
The firm is rebuilding the wrecked
mills or rather is erecting structures to
take their places. The new buildings,
however, are further removed from
Upper Banks, the creek separating them
from the little hamlet. 1t is stated that
the new mills will be considerably
larger than the ones destroyed, thus
greatly increasing the facilities of the
Immense plant.

CHICAGO, Jan. "A dispatch pur-

dressed to all members Of the Order of
Railway Telegraphers desire that all
operators be persuaded to stay away
from the Lake Shore s. Michigan South
ern railway and not fill the places of
operators leaving that line. This would
indicate that trouble between the rail-
way and its Geographic force has al
ready commenced, but the companys
operators in this city say they know
nothing of such trouble. 1t is expected
the dispatch is a bogus one.

Whom Her Parents Disapproye.
ONANCocK, VA, Jan. 1.--Ayres'
Chapel, small Methodist Church on
the bay side of Accomac county, was
the scene of a church festival night be-
fore last. In the audience sat Miss Sally
Gray, who has won the hearts of many
SWANS in that region, and on one side
of her sat Bee Scott, and on the other
sat Fletcher Lewis, rival claimants for
her hand Some time ago Sally's parents
found out that she was engaged to Scott,
and, being oppoed to him, they succeeded
in inducing her to break the engage
ment. Soon after this Sally informed
her parents that she had transferred her
affections to Fletcher Lewis, and that
they would be married on New Years
Day.
Accordingly, preparations were begun
on big scale to celebrate the event.
Sally ordered an elaborate outfit, and
the old folks set themselves to work to
make the occasion all that could be de-
sired. Last night, when the church fes-
tival at Ayres' Chapel was in full blast,
and Fletcher Lewis, who was supposed
to be the coming man, was speaking his
piece in the programme ON the stage,
Bee Scott and sallie Gray slipped silently
out of the church, jumped into buggy,
and drove five miles away to Parksley
Station, where they took the midnight
train and disappeared. When it be-
came known that they had fled young
Lewis wept like a child, and in company
with the young woman's sister, went in
pursuit of the fugitives but did not sue
coed in bringing them back.
Sally's mother was in Onancock to-
day revolving orders for dresses, cakes,
and other things ordered for the mar
riage that now will not take place.
