]. Eldridge Pierce, the defaulting secre
tary and treasurer Of the City Loan, is in
New York city--or more exactly, he was
seen there on Saturday, May ID, The
story is as follows: II, Harold Rhoads,
was In New York on the day referred
to on business for Philadelphia iewelry
store. He was ut AID street and Third
avenue when he suddenly came face to
face with Pierce.
"IIallol Eldridger' Mr.. Rhoads called
out, ''Elow are you"
Pierce Just mumhled something and
turning quickly around started off to tho
stairs that led down to the street.
He looked extremely surprised as Mr..
Rhoads spoke and nj the moment looked
i'll at ease. He was rather scedy looking.
lie had the same closely cropped hair tie
stylein which he is so well-kncwn. His
monstache was long but he gave the sug-
geslion Of lowing the barber 10 cents" for
he had three days beard upon his face.
He carried no grip sack nor anything in
dicating that he was en- voyage. His APP
pearance and manner suggested that lie
had just come from uptown to transact
business in the city, in other words his ap-
pearance suggested that of a man who had
been residing in New York for some time.
Mr., Rhoads was extremely anxious to
continue conversation with Pierce, but UNI
fortunately at that moment he was hurry
ing down town to catch the y. m. train
for Philadelphia from the Pennsylvania

The Westinghouse Motor Adoptcd--The
New Extensions to be Running July
LIST.
There is every prospect Of gaining cleo
trio street railway service along tho various
extensions by July LIST. What was the
chief cause OF the delay has now been re-
moved by the selection Of the Westing-
house motors. General Manager Head
and committee of the directors were
present at trial of the motors at Pitts
burg Pa, recently, when the motors were
found very satisfactory. The grades in the
city referred TO demanded severer tests
than any here. The IL new electric cars
are almost finished, The probable sched-
ule time On the new electric system on
July list will be: r., w. & b. station to
Eighth street, about q minutes; Riverview
and Eighth street, about 10 minutes and
Delaware avenue, about Is minutes.
Some of the new cars will be slightly
shorter than the present Eighth street
ones. They will be about two feet shorter
in order to obviate the rocking when run
ming at high speed to which some people
have objected.

You can scarcely pick up newspaper hut

exhibit of the custom now in vogue to
those who offend against the sanctity of

make the calling of a convention too easy.
He reiterated this objection in a speech to
the House, after he had called up
the bill, in which speech he appealed
to the members from the lower
counties not to put it within the power
of the city of Wilmington to change the
fundamental law. He insisted on stand
ing by the old requirement; a majority
equal to that of the highest Of three pre-
ceding elections. 1t will not be many
years, he urged, before the population Of
Wilmington will be equal to that of all
the rest of the State and while he did not
propose to take away any of the rights
now vested by the constitution in the
people of Wilmington, the lower counties
did not propose to be controlled and gov
erned by Wilmington. To which speech
Mr.. Higgins replied with cogency and
force, aud Mr.. Smith supplemented MIR.
Higgins with: I'm answer to the speech
made by my friend on the other side,
wish TO say to him that the people Of
Wilmington are being pretty well gov
erned by the people Of the lower counties
during the past three days. Let him Put
the boot on that leg and see what he
thinks of it,
