Love Laughs at Color.


Daniel Hartnett, young man resid.
ing with his parent near Marydel, Kent
County, DEL, some time ago fell in
love with Jennie Sudler, a colored girl,
and the two had laid plans for an elope-
ment. The parents getting in on the
plan had the son arrested and put in
Jail, where he has had time for couple
of weeks to be cured of his strange
freak of love. He at last became ap-
parently deeply penitent and was re-
leased from jail Thursday morning.
His first act after his release was to
60 with his parents to mass at Holy
Cross Church, after which he accom-
panied his father and brother to the
home of his aunt. In a few minutes
he was missing, and after diligent
search he was given up as having es-
capped. Inquiry revealed the fact that
Jennie Sudler had disappeared from
home Thursday also. and could not be
found. The supposition Of course is
that where one is the other is, and that
they will take good care to avoid arrest.
Ldter.-Daniel Hartnett, who disap-
peared after his release from Jail on
Thursday last and who was supposed to
have gone away with the colored
woman, Jennie Sndler, has returned to
his fathers farm. He is apparently
disguised with the notoriety he has
achieved and promises to fOrsake his
dusky sweetheart and stay at home in
the future. He returned home on
Thursday evening and went to work
with his father on Friday morning.

A Great Freak.

The medical and surgical stats al
Bellevue Hospital, New York, are per-
picked over the case of George Lippert,
the man who has three perfect legs.
At the examination it was found that
Lippert's heart was fully six times The
normal size.
The doctors say they cannot under.
stand how it is possible for a human
being to exist with such an unnat urally
large heart. If his heart extended all
through his breast, where could bis
lungs and other organs be? 1t was
agreed that no satisfactory explanation
could be arrived at. Lippert is az
healthy as any one, except that he has
the rheumatism. In Lippert's case all
the limbs are good, and it is impossible
to pick out what might be known as the
extra one. Lippert at the age of 21 had
the use OF all three limbs. Just as an
animal takes alternate steps with its
four legs so did Lippert walk with his
three.

The Freight Rates ON Peaches.

A Washington special to the Balti-
more Sun says 1.-THE interstate com.
merce commission has still under ad-
visement the appeal of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company relative to
the restoration OF the old rates for the
transportation Of peaches from the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Della
ware. Commissioner Morrison said
to-aay that the commission has had
this same question to deal with in
various phases, and at present the
situation is satisfactory to the pea CHI
growers and shippers, but objection
able to the railroad company. First,
the commission decided that the rail-
road should afford better facilities for
the transportation of fruit to the
northern markets. Afterward the
commission decided that the rates of
transportation should be reduced. The
question now is shall the reduction of
rates agreed upon by the commission
be put into effect. The probabilit les
are the commission will sustain its
former decision in favor of the fruits
growers as against the railroad"

This was very nice little scheme
which was frustrated BY few persons
who saw that the State was about to
be placed ina bad position. in fact in
such position that the collection OF
this debt would be almost an impossi-
bility. THE TRANSCRIPT was the
only paper in the State which exposed
the character of the intents and pur-
poses of the measure and that exposure
resulted in the defeat Of the very dan
gerous measure known as the "mort.
gage BILL" Had that bin passed, the
State of Delaware would now hold .
lot of bonds Of doubtful value instead
of a first mortgage worth its face

In placing thousands of names upon
the duplicates at this time the Levy
Court goes beyond anything ever done
by that body before. It has been as
serted by Republicans, that the Levy
Court, while under Democratic con-
troll, was used to disfranchise voters.
Whether or not this is true has not
been proven, but it is safe to say that
the Levy Court never before ordered
the placing upon the lists, at any time
in the year. without warrant in law,
of four thousand names probably half
OF which are fictitious. Whatever
may be the Republican scheme, whether
honest or dishonest, it looks very much
like q provision to enable the negro
repeaters Of Philadelphia "to do .
little work y at the next election. All
the talk about enabling the County to
secure the taxes said to be due from
these fictitious names looks like hypoc-
ricy. However partisan the Levy
Court may have been in the past there
Is no record Of any action which
tended to set up claim of superiority
over the Court Of Errors and Appeals.
The time specified by law for the
placing OF names upon the lists expired
March 31st last. By what authority
does the Levy Court place names upon
the lists In July ?

started off on a bridal tour of two
weeks returned on Monday in very

daughters In Odessa, all intending to
90 to Seaford on their return. The

commended a sea trip. Presiding

THE sUaAR planters of Louisiana
are asking for the bounty which the
Mckinley tariff law authorizes the
government to pay to them, and the
amount which win be paid ont of the
national treasury for this purpose will
! be about ten million dollars per year.
This form of protection is new thing,
which, IL it continues, will cause every
person engaged in farming to demand
equal justice at the hands Of the gov
eminent BY the payment Of bounty
on every bushel Of grain and every
pound of meat produced in this coun-
try. Such q demand would be just
and honorable at this time because
Congress has sanctioned this method
and made it operative in the case Of
the sugar planters. A reason which
win account for the payment OF q
bounty to sugar planters will apply
TO the payment Of an equally
encouraging reward to the farm
or who raises corn or wheat. Glass
legislation has been a character
istic Of Congress for many years and it
should cease before more injustice is
done. The persons who have such
high idea of the duty which the gov
eminent owes to sugar producers,
should remember that wheat and
corn are also produced in the United
States, and that any legislation which
assists the one at the expense of the
Others is class legislation and as such
issdetrimental to the best interests of
the whole country.

= Tire ATTEMPT to secure q re-hear-
ing, before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, of the case of the Della
ware graugers against the P. W. & B.
railroad company is likely to prove q
failure. The intent and desire of the
railroad attorneys is to prevent final
settlement of the freight charges on
the Delaware road by the Interstate
Commerce Commission until the pres
ent fruit crop shall have been disposed
Of. I'll Is possible that such heavy
crop OF fruit will not be harvested heie
for several years and If the railroads
can get good thing out of the present
crop settlement contrary to their
wishes viii not have much effect upon
their profits. Judging from the desire
Of other transportation companies 10
get . share of the fruit trade of tliis
section, the claims made by the P. w.
& B. company as to the great expense
and Inconvenience incurred in the car
rying Of peaches are not well founded.
There is no reason why an equitable
reduction in freight rates on peaches
should not be ordered by the Inter-
State Commission, but if such reduc-
ton cannot be otherwise secured a
strong combination of fruit-growers
may be able to make terms with some
other line for the shipment of the bulk
Of the crop in this kind Of a move
ment the Interstate Commerce law
would be of great use to the shippers.
There is no good reason why the peo-
pie Of the Peninsula should sit down
to mourn over unjust freight charges
when they have several remedies at
hand. There is no room for sentiment
in this business while no one wishes
to do the railroad company an injus-
tice probably no one wishes to see the
last dollar disappear into the capacious
NAV of corporate power, While ship
pers want justice for themselves they
are perfectly willing to accord an equal
measure to the railroad.
