tile only defect In rendering tho
Eanialta OF Ruth last night was III the
limited audience present, though there
wore about 800 persons present, which
~ usually considered large audience.
The Cantata itself was web rendered,
20 vivid; striking and impressive that
Tho Dpern House should have bcen
crowded to see and hear it. No doubt
The house will be crowded to night,
when the Cantata Is to be repeated.
Some OF the parts might have been
Improved upon, but on the whole it
WINS 20 we'll done that but little room
~ isft for criticism. Miss NJ. c. Sterling
WI Naomi, Mrs, Maggie 3. Bayard as
hna NJ. W. Fl. /. Wright as B6az are to
hA congratulated on their success. and
thn Feapers did admirably Without
uciracting from the merits OF any other
pnrformer II Is but just to say that
Mrs Maggie Bayard's singing was a
afMilRg feature OF the evening.
fhc fabieaux were striking and pie
furtsque. Mfr. NJ. 4. Sterling. musical
director held the performance we'll in
hand; Miss lneZ Casey excelled at The
plano. but the orchestra was not UP to
The mark. As the proceeds of the
Ehntata are for the benefit OF The two
Wilmington hospitals, the Opera House
should he crowded this evening.

report, which was adopted;
'.Resolved, That Justice Bratton

This action in regard to Squire Bfut-
ton and Constable ID hallway was taken
on account of the enormous bills of
costs they presented against the county
and asked to have paid Squire Brat
TONS bill was S1l7I20 and Constable
Duhad Ways bill was s3i74s. Both
these oflicials live al Townsend, Appo-
quinimink Hundred a community that
Inns never heretofoI b been noted for
aueh violations OF law that would re-
suit in piling up SUI III enormous bills
OF cost. Levy Courtman lIutchison
from AppoquinimiHk Hundred made
the direct charge In the Court yester-
day that these oillcE als had collected
costs in q number Of cases and they
now come anu wantIthe county to pay
them over again, anil he said he had
the documents in hid pocket to prove
what he said.
If this is the case, he will make it
hot for the Townsend
Squire AMI Constable.
There is one other country Squire's
bill, however, that exceeds Squire
and that s Squire Thomas
Deakyne's. BlackbiFd Hundred, bill
TO Si32. 20, aud Constable
J. Elmer Cats OF tic same hundred
has bill OF T27062. These bills are
TO the city magistrates and
colstables, and Burprise-to every
body. II is the general Impression
that these big bills in the two lower
hundreds need puntturing and over
hauling.
At $50 O'Clock the Court adjourned
until 10 o'clock this morning.

III. III Feed Fiil,

Last April, before the levy Court adj

~, 40 days Mt 80 cents each, Sl2, 79s3.
At 20 cents no total would be IS, iS2,
making difference of S4,34l. 1t is
not likely the Court will aceede to the
request Of the ex-sheriff Ia the present
broken down financial state of tho
county.
