Towns Prospects.
james w. Ponder of Milton, son of ex-
GOV. James Ponder, arrived here Thursday
morning from Milton. He tells most
doleful story of the terrible devastation the
little town experienced in the recent con-
migration which all but extinguished it,
The whole business portion of the city is
laid out in ruins. 1t is complete blank.
The desolation is simply terrible Even
of the few houses that were so fortunate
as to escape destruction most are scorehed
and blackened. Mr., Ponder was an eye
witness of the fire. Men were seen with
bare hands pulling off the burning shingles
in their desperate efforts to save the town.
They stood for three hours up to their
waists in the icy Broadkiln creek passing
up water-laden buckets.
Milton as a business centre is almost ex-
tinct. Business is literally wiped out. The
fire lasted only three hours, from 3 to 6
n. m. The reason why the fire took such
greedy hold and annihilated in such brief
time $4,000 worth Of buildings is that the
structures We're all built of resinous sap
pine, the most fatal food for fire. The
largest store in Sussex, Burton & Parker's,
to which all the country around custom
arily resorted, went with the rest.
The commercial prosperity of the town
has received staggering blow and it may
be years before Milton can recover. All
present individual needs are cared for. 1t
was one of the busiest commercial centres
south of Wilmington, There are 20 vessels
trading in and out the Broadkiln creek
the year round. Government has only
just expended $4,000 in deepening the
creek in the vicinity of Milton. 1t is here
300 feet wide and is crossed by a substan-
tial iron bridge. There exists n valuable
pine timber vessel trade with New York
and Philadelphia, worth to Milton not less
than $4,000 a year. The destruction of
the stores Of pine logs will damage this
trade. A line Of magnificent oaks cen
turtles old that line the wharf are burned
of the $4,000 loss not half is realizable
upon insurance. Most of the policies are
placed in outside companies.
The more recent opinion is that the fire
was an incendiary one. A volunteer pa
troll watches the ruins night and day.

THE EMPTY COUNTY TREIsunr
just What Might Have Been Expected
A Reckless Levy Court.


l A Reckless Levy Court
Middletowu Transcript
The collectors have been informed by
the levy court that certain debts of the
county ought to be paid and to accom-
plish this purpose all taxes now due and
unpaid must be collected at once. 1t is
a well-known fact that the county
treasury has been without money much
of the time during the past year and
the fact has given rise to rumors of vari-
Gus kinds generally discreditable to the
present system of county government.
That a county SO rich as this should be
without funds is evidence of unbusiness-
like government
One great cause of this trouble is the
loose method used by levy court com
missioners in the building or repairing
of bridges and other county property.
In this way vast sums of money have
been spent on useless work. One such
case in point is where new bridge was
built in the city of Wilmington in open
defiance of the levy court.
Other abuses have arisen from this
source which, although not so glazing,
are equally dangerous to the well-being
of the people. That so much power
should be vested in the levy court and
that that same body should be unable to
control the actions of one of the mem
bers shows that the system is wrong,
and that so long as it exists financial
| questions are not likely to receive
proper attention. The powers granted
| TO, and being constantly exercised by
the levy court, are above and beyond
the powers granted to any other body of
officers in the State.
Such condition is not entirely un-
known in national affairs where men
sometimes usurp powers which do not
rightfully belong to them, but here in
New Castle county we cannot afford
the extravaganza which always results
from such unlimited power. Here we
should require Of every man a prompt
and full compliance with the law, to
the end that every citizen may be pro-
| protected in his rights.
The present state of affairs has been
expected to arise from the business
methods employed by the levy court
and only very few of those who have
taken an interest in the matter expected
anything else than that which has hap
| pened. New Castle county needs some
changes in her system of government
which will do away with division of
responsibility among the officers and
make each and every one of them re-
sponsible to the people whose servants

Discussing the Rebuilding of Their
Ruined Temple.

Ruined Temple.
The Grand Lodge of Masons of Mary
land held a special meeting in their new
quarters at the old United States court
house, Baltimore, Thursday night. There
was large attendance, many being
obliged to stand Most Worthy Grand
Master Thomas J. Shryock presided;
Jacob II. Medairy, grand secretary.
General Shryock stated that the meeting
had been called, not to take any special
action, but rather that the Masons might
commune with each other and to take
counsel together for the future. He
made interesting statements in reference
to the losses by fire and the resources of
the order. He stated that it was too
soon yet to make any statement in re-
gard to the rebuidingl of the temple, or
about any plan as to the future home of
Masonry, but that the whole matter
would receive the most faithful and
careful attention. He said, further,
t..at ~ith the experience of the Grand
Lodge Of Maryland in the past before
him, he was opposed to the erection of
any building for Masonic purposes with
one dollar of debt upon it. The senti-
ment was loudly applauded
He detailed he heroic conduct of GER
tain of the Masons during the fire, and
said that the Grand Lodge owed it to
them, inasmuch as they had actually
perilled their lives, to present them with
medals commemorative of the event
On motion Of Grand Secretary Medairy
it was resolved that the grand master be
authorized to presentappropriate medals
to II. +, Poske Of Concordia Lodge, No
10; Henry Kcil of st. Johns Lodge, and
several others, for heroic conduct in
rescuing the records of the Grand Lodge
from the burning temple.

Back in Snow Hill Jail, but He Don't
Propose TO Stay.

SNOW HILL, Jan. lon Tuesday,
while Sheriff James Lockerman was in
Snow Hill attending to some business in
connection with his office, he received a
message from Justice James Mock of
Pocomoke City, that he had located
Charles Wellsworth, who broke jail here
on the oath of December, at a house
near the line of Virginia. Sheriff Lock-
erman at once started for Wellsworth's
hiding place, and arrived shortly after
dark. Upon inquiry he found that his
man was on hand. Fearing that Wells
worth might escape upon seeing him
enter the house, Sheriff Lockerman re-
quested two young men TO enter and
make the arrest, which they consented
to do, the sheriff remaining outside
Wellsworth, upon finding out the OBJ
ject of his visitors, at once showed fight,
and attempted to reach shotgun hang
ing on the wall.
Sheriff Lockerman, at this point,
deemed it expedicnt for him to take a
hand, and appeared upon the scene.
Catching Wellsworth by the throat lie
threw him to the floor and placed the
handouts upon his prisoner, after which
with the assistance of the young man,
in his buggy, and about midnight he
had his prisoner safely chained TO the
floor in his old quarters, Wellsworth
is as defiant as ever, and does not hest
tate to say that he intends to escape
again as soon as possible, and that no
trap was ever built that would hold him.
To Jailer Brimer he said
"The only way to keep me in here is
to drive an iron bolt through my body
into the floor, and it is - doubtful ii
| that would hold me-
Wellsworth is evidently hard one,
and States Attorney w. Sid. Wilson, in
view of the fact that his rara avis will
have many chances to make good his
threats during the five months which
will intervene between now and May
court, and knowing the insecurity Of the
present Jail, thinks very seriously Of
petitioning the judges to allow him to
engage board for Wellsworth at the Bal
timore city Jail until next spring.

demands that his and their names be
inserted in the regular bill, or else--Y
He wants great deal more, too. But
he is too modest to exhibit his other
wants, as detailed in his remarkable
enactment, to anyone else than his OWE
familiar and old-time myrmidons.
OF course it is understood, in regard
to the Five Commissioners bill, which
the county Democratic committee has
destined for Dover, that it provides that
in 1894, when the appointed commits
sioners' terms expire, their places shall
be filled by election.
II is understood that the general senti-
ment of the members of the levy court
as constituted at the recent election, and
coupling the holding-over members, is
emphatically opposed to the Five-Com-
missioners or to any commission bill.
This objection comes from both Repub-
lican and Democratic levy courtmen.
1t is comically related that the Republic
can members are the madden of the two
and the more strenuously opposed to
their impending annihilation, They
have already pooled their issues, it is
reported, in an iniquitous coalition
of certain measures and fight
ing line of policy is definitely
planned out. They have hired the
services of prominent Republican
criminal lawyer, whose thundeious
periods will roar and echo in affecting
bathos around the legislative halls next
week as he pleads and groans at the
picture of unparalleled iniquity of seek
ing to annihilate that ancient and honor
able institution of the State of Della
ware, the levy court. His bill of indict-
ment will be that the new levy court,
being elected by the people for certain
term, must serve for that term, and then,
after that, gentlemen, you may com
menee your meditated county reform.
Mr.. Hickman would thus have two
strings to his bow; his own appoint
mcnt as a commissioner until 1894 and
il that fails he will join hands with the
Republican levy courtmen for the con-
tinued existence of the levy court sys-
tom.
1t is understood that Nathaniel Will
liams of Middletown, brother of Sena-
tor Williams of Kent, is drafting a
hree-commissioner bill for New Castle
county Francis N. Buck of this city,
it is said, also has three-commissioners
bill which he will present to the Legis-
lature. James Ilossinger is also the
originator Of ree-commissioners bill
which will go to Dover. Lewis @.
VANDERBILT, Esq, is credited with sim
liar effort drafted to meet the views of
two on three prominent Democrats Of
Wilmington.
Altogether the reform projects will
launch out on troubled sea, receiving
buffetings from many directions. From
the lower counties objection and OBJ
struction on account of certain planks
in the regular party bill are not un-
looked for They confessedly introduce
the entering wedge to district represen-
tation according to population.

railroad raciiities for Kent island.

CENTREyILLE, MD, Jan 1.-The
Eastern Shore Railroad Company have
purchased the steamer Olive, and the
new wharf at Palmers, on Coxe's creek,
which runs nearly south through the
best part of Kent Island, is nearly com
pletcd. Another wharf will be built
opposite Palmer's to accommodate other
portions of the island The Olive will
leave these waters early in the morning,
and, going by Bryantown and Wye
river, will proceed to Bay City, the Tai
bot county terminus Of the railroad,
where passengers can take the transfer
boat for Baltimore via Annapolis, spend
five or six hours in the city and return
the same evening Ultimately it is pro-
posed to have wharf near Steyensville.
Kent Island will be fine feeder for the
the Eastern Shore railroad. 1t is said
here that an offer was made to the
Chester River Steamboat Company for
the Gratitude, but not accepted.

pelaware,s champion wing Shot.

The Middletown Neao Era says: The
champion partridge shot hereabouts is
undoubtedly Mr.. Edward v. Wilson.
He has bagged during the season about
$50 birds, besides some $50 rabbits. He
is a most successful hunter and an
unerring shot, some of his feats with the
gun being almost beyond belief. To
kill two birds flying in opposite direc-
tions is nothing. He has during the
season jas before stated in these columns,
bagged his 35th bird on his 33d shot,
which is hard to beat, and has fire.
quently returned from cunning excur-
sions Of two or three days, bringing
more than a hundred birds-on one of
which he secured 127 birds.

Levi G. Barto, a merchant of Linwood,
Pa, was arrested Thursday at the p,
w. & b. railroad station in this city and
lodged in the city hall because he sig
nailed an express train upon which he
was riding to stop at Linwood. He got
on the train at Chester by mistake, as it
was running on the accommodation
trains time. The engineer did not stop
ut Linwood and he was brought here.
Mr. Barto was released on 300 bail,
which was given by a local merchant.
The arrested man contemplates bringing
suit against the railroad company for
damages.
