WILMINGTON, Del, April Item
thousand dollars In gold and greenbacks
has been found secreted in an old table
in the residence of John Spragne, q
shoemaker, AZ No., .72l, West second
street, in this city. The money repre-
sents his deceased wife's savings for

victim of heart disease, in drug store.
The couple came to Wilmington from
England thirty-one years ago. The hus.
band Is about sixty years of age, while
the wife was nearly fifty-nine years old
when she died. They were frugal and
industrious, aud during their thirty-ni ne
years of married life the husband weekly
gave the wife certain sum OF money
ftr her iudicious use. He never ques-
toned what she did with the surplus,
but supposed it was regularly put in
bank.
When Mrs. Sprague died search was
made for the handbook supposed to ex-
lists, but to no avail. The house was
ransacked, but still no money was found.
Finally, Mrs. Mckinley, q neighbor,
suggested as she had had dream to that
effect, that possibly the treasure might
be secrcted in an antique table, and this
article Of furniture was examined.
Tightly wedged in an inside corner Of
the table were found bag Of gold and a
roll ofgreenbacks, which, being counted,
amounted to $4,000.
The newly found money was at once
deposited in bank. A farther and two
sons constitute the Sprague family. Mr..
Sprague has just received word from
England that he has also fallen heir to
several thousand dollars by the death of

CALCUTTA, March 31.-Onicial dis
patches received here by the govern
ment officers confirm the report of the
massacre of Ghoorkas at Manipur, in
the province of Assam, where about
40 of these native soldiers were slain
by hostile tribesmen of Assam after two
days of deperate fighting.
The fate OF the British officers who
were in command of the GhoOrkans
and of the chief commissioner, James
w. Quinton, who was conducting the
negotiations at Dunpar for the arrest
of a prominent chief who had been in
strumental in deposing the Rajah of
Manipur, is still increasing, but the
yiceroy of India, the Marquis Of
Landsowne, believes that all the ofli-
cials have either met death at the
hands Of the rebellious tribesmen Of
Assam, or that they are held as prison
erS. In addition to the disaster at
Manipur, it is believed that a force of
ment of two hundred soldiers of the
Bengal Infantry and about eighty
Ghoorkas, who were marching from
Shillong to Manipur in order to rein
force the Forty-second and Thirty-sec-
ond ChOorkaS LighU Infantry, which
composed the command of Chief Com
missioner Quinton, have also been at
tackled and have shared the fate of
their comprades at Manipur. The
Bengal Infantry and eighty Ghoorkas.
1T appears were set upon by the AS
samese, or native tribes referred to,
while they were passing through a adif-
ilcult and dangerous passage, and
though they fought gallantly against
heavy odds, the rebel tribesmen from
the advantageous positions which they
occupied on the sides of the pass and
ahead and behind the British force,
poured such destructive fire into the
ranks of the Bengalese and Ghoorkas
that the latter are said to have been
killed to man. The viceroy is hurry

Without respect to party divisions.

THE SPRINKLING TAX.

When the protest against the extortion-
ate tax of 10 cents per. front foot came W
before the council, some city officials tried
to settle it in the usual manner. That is
Recorder JACK and Assessor CUTE, find
ing that the protestants represented but
one-fifth of the total amount of property
affected, promptly recommended that the
necessary orders to complete the carrying
out of the tax be made.
There is naive innocency in the assump-
ton that unless majority of the people
shall protest against any contemplated &C
ton of the city government. then the action
is right and desirable. This implies that
the whole people are on the alert ready to
correct the council should it appear to be
going wrong. But as a matter of FACT the
public interest is by no means so watchful
Very few can be made acquainted with the
nature and consequences of any contem-

plated municipal action. And the fact that
tne council had decided to do certain
ehlng, would be sufficient for the careless
and the uniformed to approve it as mat
Ter OF course. Unless the action is in the
line OF such injustice as to appear fragrant
and outrageous, 1t is not likely to attract
more than passing notice.
As the investigation of the sprinkling
tax proceeded, however, it appeared that
contractors put nine gallons of water on
the business streets to one gallon on the
residence Streets" yet both the assessor
and the recorder had the brutal hardihood
to recommend that the uniform tax be
maintained. The protest of six hundred
taxpayers was to be contemptuously and
dedantly ignored, merely because the pro-
testants did not happen to be a majority of
all the persons affected. Yet the men who
endeavored to perpetrate this wrong upon
the tax-ridden public knew very well that
man with fine house and small frontage
would not object to frontage tax for
sprlnkling, as the main expense falls upon
the owners of unoccupied land.
1t appeared further that the actual cost
to the city for this sprinkling of the streets
is between and s cents per front foot,
while the tax is 10 cents. Some of the
councilmen very properly desired to know
where the extra cents is going. A similar
inquiry would be exceedingly proper and
extremely gratifying in the case of the
sewer tax, the water main tax and the
sidewalk tax. The people are suspicious,
and quite naturally, too, of the whole I'M
heavenly lot of special taxes, and would
like to know where all the money is going.
The action of the council in reducing the
rate of tax to correspond with the actual
cost of the work performed deserves COM
mendation. We hope to see more of this
| kind of work in The near future
