INQUIRY is made at this office why
in this season of hot days and nights,
we can't have more refreshing water
One man says the water is forced up
in the stand pipe in the evening to be
heated up by the b-oiling sun of the
next day when during such warm
weather there might be direct pump
ing and thus refreshing water supplied
direct from the well; another, com
plains that the mains are not emp.
tied, but that the water lays dead in
the ends, even unfit for bathing much
less drinking; another says the pipe in
his street has not been blown out for
three months, when it should be done
every week. Aud still another saws
the fire plugs may be rusty or stopped
up and in case of fire great damage
might result from this cause. How
correct all this is we do not know, but
the superintendent does. If these
statements are correct, he is the one to
apply the remedy.

A CoLoRED boy named Clarence Bed
ford, aged about 10 years, went to the
office of II. B. Grieves on Thursday
night near midnight and burglaroWsly
entered it, taking from the drawer
$500. His operation with tools would
nave done credit to one of older years
He was suspected from the free use he
made with money the next morning
and was accosted by Mr.. Grieves while
taking milk shake, and being pressed
closely, admitted the theft and handed
over the money or what remained of
It, Sl.8O; He had spent 81 20, and be.
sides delicacies, had purchased a mouth
organ, which is quite the thing with
the boys. On being conveyed to the
AldeFman's Office he seemed as indif.
ierent as would a hardened criminal.
evidently regarding the whole thing as
little more than joke, telling the boys
they couldn't do anything with him.
Finding after the hearing he was
placed in the lookup, he somewhat
softened, and when night came and he
found he couldn't get out aud 20 home.
he boo-hooed. On Saturday morning,
his parents thinking he had been
taught salutary lesson, paid the fine
and costs and he wac liberated. 1t Is

The Dover base ball team went to
teipsic on Wednesday and defeated
that club in close and exciting game
by score of II to 16.
Says the Dover Sentinel at least 100
spectators were on the Academy
grounds last Friday afternoon to see
the game of baseball between the Smyr.
ma and Dover teams, but the Smyrna
did not come, and the umpire gave the
game to Dover by a score of 8 to O.
There has always been great rivalry
between these clubs, and no doubt If
they had played our home team would
have won. 1t is believed by many
that they were afraid they would get
beaten.
The above opinion expressed by our
contemporary was held by the club
here two or three weeks since when
the Dover club quit the field and went
home when the score stood to 4. on
the ground that it was too dark to fin
ish the game, though the sun was over

the power to control assessments, aud
the Court would not interfere.
