Obsolete Books not Wanted.

Levy Courtman John w. Jolls of
Middletown, stated yesterday that
under the new free school book law a
number of algebras had been ordered
from CHM & Company the New York
publishers. The commissioners re-
ceived in reply consignment of alge-
bras of the date of 1881. The books
were promptly returned with the re-
mark that the IiddIetown school did
not use old editions. A more recent
edition of 1890 exists, and that is what
the school board wants. The pub
fishers quickly replied that the edition
of 'S1 as sent to Middletown is in
agreement with the supply contract
made with the State board of
Education.
What Mr.. Jolls wants to know is
whether contracts of such nature as
supplying New Castle county SC hools
with obsolete editions of text boo ks is
customary with the State Board of
Education. Mr.. Jolls is under the
impression that all this is very unbus-
iness-like, and whether the State
Board has contracted to take old
books from text book publishers to
supply them to the county schools.

A Cecil Farmers Suicide.

After several unsuccessful attempts
Robert Blackway, a Cecil county,
Md, farmer residing one mile below
Cecilton, committed suicide last Fri
day by taking strychnine. The dose
was taken about II o'clock in the
morning, and physician was at once
summoned, but the man was past
medical aid.
Mr.. Blackway has been subject to
fits of temporary insanity for some
time, and few months ago made two
unsuccessful attempts upon his life.
At times he was perfectly sane and
would converse as freely as anyone,
but again he would brood over his
financial troubles and become very
Respondent, and it was while in this
state that he took his life. He was
probably go years of age and leaves
a wife and five children.

Some Things That are Rare.

A head Of cabbage Of the Flat
Dutch variety was shown us by Mr..
John Knotts, of near town this week,
which weighed Is pounds, and would
just fit in half bushel measure.

better?

" curious kind" is concered. The
apples on the tree are doubles, or
twins, and in several cases they have
been found where three have grown
together. One of each kind have
been left at this Office and attract
much attention.

Mr.. uickman,s Latest Move.

i A rumor is afloat here to the effect
that Henry Hickman, the Levy
Court Commissioner from Whining
ton, is laying snares for the capture
. of seat in the Levy Court, as it
will be under the provisions of the
new law. Mr.. Hickman has been
heard to say that he expects to be
nominated and elected from the
second district, the southern portion
of the city of Wilmington. As this
willy politician lives in the northern
district of Wilmington it is strange
that he conteInplates such move
but he has said, so it is reported, that
he will be nominated and elected in
the second district, while still resid-
ing in the first, which is Republican.
He will move over in time to qualify
himself. For downright impudence
this exceeds anything Mr.. Hickman
has yet undertaken, and will result
in the defeat of the ticket of which
he may form a part. Mr.. Hickman
has been accused of many evil deeds
but the charges have been OF such
character that little attention was
paid to them. Mr. Hickman is also
credited with desire and determi-
nation to preside over the delibera-
tions of the new. body, in fact he has
expressed the determination openly.
The majority by which he was cleo
ted was so small that one would sup
pose he would feel shy Of another
tilt with the voters, but it may be
set down as fact that he intends to
try it. The northern district of VIII
mington is strongly republican and
so is the third district, composing the
northern hundreds of the county
the New Castle district is close, with
the chances in favor of the Republi-
cans if the conditions change at all,
so that with Hickman defeated in
the second district, the Democrats
would probably have only one repre-
sentative in the Commission. When
Mr. Hickman has finished his career
in Wilmington, the people of the
fifth district will have to look out
for themselves or he may move down
here. Hickman is also credited with
a strong desire to be in the Court
when the new Brandywine bridge is
built and his contemplated removal
from one district to another is evil
dence of his anxiety on this point.
There is no necessity for new bridge
so far as the people are concerned,
but the building of such bridge |
would give good picking for a few
politicians and one or two land own
ers over the Brandywine.

Maryland Matters.

"CeciI Whig", of Elkton, has return
ed home from his European trip.
A $4,000 parsonage is one of the con-
templated improvements of the Cath
olic church property in Chestertown.
An. enterprising man in Somerset
county, has gone into the business of
raising terrapins. His terrapin farm
is an acre in extent, on a creek. sur
rounded by heavy fence, driven two
feet and a half into the ground, and
raising four feet above the surface.
This is to prevent the diamond-backs
from escaping by their burrows, from
the enclosure or being washed out by
the high tides.
The village of Parkersburg, where
the gas wells were struck by John w.
Willbrow a few weeks since, was

Mr.. Parsons lives some distance from
the gas wells of Wilbrow. The flow
from the Parsons well is very heavy.
He has run pipes into his home,
which have been connected with his
cook stove, and he now does all the
cooking by gas SO does Willbrow.
These gentlemen are making arrange
ments to furnish gas to the inhabi-
tants of the village for cooking and
heating purposes this winter. The

A Husbands Crime.

Howard Cooling, aged "a years, a
carriage finisher, living with his fam
lily at Ills Walnut street, Whining
ton, murdered his wife Sunday night
about 9.15 o'clock by striking her on
the back of the head with mustard
bottle.
Cooling with some friends went to
Cape May on Sunday and returned in
the evening drunk. About 9 o'clock
Mrs. Zelia Cooling returned home
from the Asbury M. E. Church and
asked the two little children if their
father had come home. They replied
no, and she then prepared lunch for
her husband.
She was placing some dishes on a
table in small out kitchen when she
heard her husband staggering in the
front hall. She finished her task and
then went into the dining-room where
her husband was resting on chair.
She looked at him and, turning to go
into the kitchen, remarked: "You
drunken hummer, you're full again"
The remark angered Cooling, and
staggering from his chair, he made a
thrust at his wife. He then seized
her and a scuffie ensued. Picking up
a mustard bottle he struck her and
she fell to the floor dead, and Cooling
rushed from the house like mad
man.
This is all that is known of the
tragedy, as it was only witnessed by
their two children-Leslie, aged IL
years, and Mabel, aged years.
A physician was summoned but the
woman was dead when he arrived.
Cooling at once gave himself up to
the police and was locked up.
