inspect the several farms and tracts Of
land offered to them for the purpose Of

one owned by William p COrsa, and To-
Gated about one and one half miles from

viewed is owned by Charles Crook and Is
located near Woodside in North Murder
kill hundred They were not sufficiently
pleased with any of the tracts examined
to warrant them i'll definitely deciding
uDom any one of them, indeed, it
is doubtful if any of the farms named
will be selected for the purpose. Messrs.
Conrad, Ridgely and Ross were appointed
a committee to view any tracts that may
be offered III the near future or that has
been offered since the above meeting.
DR.. George W. Marshall, one ofthe most
active of the delegation, was instructed

mos for the electrical appliances and

''None Such" club and are enjoying
themselves as only thirteen merry girls
can The air resounds with their gay
mirth all the day and occasionally,
although they have been here but few
nights having arrived on Monday, their
voices may be heard to peal forth from
the sacred precincts of the cottage at
midnight caused by a practical joke
PLAYED by the court clown" upon one

was soon discovered, however, and quiet
was restored; the girls returned to bed
but not to sleep for some time. Chatter

ROD. LEWIS AND ED. ROUDEBUSH were
arrested and taken before Magistrate
Fowler on Saturday upon two charges
The first for larceny and the second for
carr wing concealed deadly weapons. The
first charge was the result Of their enter
ing the hardware store of w. A. Humes
few nights before and securing some
booty including several revolvers, by
which they were traced. III default of
5000 bail each, they were sent to Jail at
Dover The arrest of this pair will prob
ably stop the little petty thieving that
has been reported lately. This is not the
first time that Humes' store has been
entered during the past few weeks and
now that the guilty ones have been
caught an end has probably been put to
it. Lewis, the leader i'll these midnight
raids, did not fare so well as a short time
ago when it will be remembered he was
caught stealing valuable coins from the
cabinet of DR.. Dawson He then skipped
and all efforts to capture him proved
futile and after a long time the case was
dropped and Lewis, who had been III
hiding in Maryland, came back but Is at
last in the meshes of the law and will no
doubt receive his just punishment. We
can spare such as his stamp.
