The Term of Charles ii. Mcwhorter as
Clerk of the Orphans Court and Regis
ter in Chancery Expires May 27tli--Ap-
piicants for the Succession.
The term of Charles II. McWhorter
clerk of the orphans court and register in
chancery, expires May 9th. The appli-
cants for the succession are Speaker of the
Senate John p. Donahoe, ex-senator Colin
Ferguson of APPOINTMENTS hundred,
George w. Spicer of Marshallton and
Register McWhorter.
Asthe latter was appointed during the
administration of Governor Biggs, when
reappointments were the rare exception,
and certainly not the rule, some surprise
was naturally expressed when Register
McWhorter entered the lists for q second
term. He gives the following reasons for
his action:
When be took charge of the office in
May, 1887, its business records, through
the dissipation of one of his predecessors
and the financial shortage Of another,
were wreck. All known of its financial
status was that the bank-book showed a
balance in bank, but there was no record
to show to whom or to what estates this
money should be credited. No charge was
made of money paid out by order Of the
court, except the mere entry on the court
records, and as long as there was balance
III COulu NC ulbCONereu,
Mr.. McWhorter, being confronted with
a bank balance insufficient to meet the
orders allowed by the court, made thor
ough examination, by direction of Chan
cellor Salisbury, of the records for 40
years past. He took each individual case,
found the money paid into court and paid
out on account Of each, and opened n
ledger account in each instance, mean
while strengthening out the record books,
ma M NIh CO old nnI I'll lnt
dated that there was danger OF losing
many of the leaves.
This work of renovating the important
records of the court occupied from June
18th, 1887, to March 18th, following. A
committee of lawyers appointed 10 ex-
anime this work and report upon its eff
ticiency, received $500 for their services.
Mr.. McWhorter has received nothing for
his. In fact, he is out OF pocket, having
paid over $500 during this time for the
hire OF clerks TO keep up his office work,
which he was compelled to almost COM
pletely abandon in order to straighten out
the records. But no put the office records
in such shape that now glance will show
the balance in bank, and TO what estate it
all belongs.
Mr.. McWhorter says that for three and
one-half years of his term the Office was a
far from profitable one, but he secured
legislation which threw more business into
the orphans court, and thereby increased
tho fee compensation of the clerk. As he
has done this work, and made such a
change for the better, he feels that he is
fairly entitled to another term, feeling
that is heartily endorsed by his many
friends. On his recommendations are the
names of 63 members of the New Castle
county bar, besides the signatures of prom
inent citizens, i'll ell branches of business.
Mr.. McWhorter feels that under the cir
cumstances he is justified in asking for
another term,

the NEW BR4NDYTINE FRIDGE.
Not Been Made Nor Choice of Site Ac-
complished.

Some Reasons Why Greater Progress Has
Not Been Made Nor Choice of Site Ac-
complished.
The whole secret of the delay in the
Levy Court of taking any action in the
choice of site for the new Brandwine
bridge, between Market street and the b.
IL @. railroad, is due TO the fear of some of
the members of raising the tax rate.
Last years levy Of s225,G00 called for a
tax of As cents. With a probable $50, 600
or $50, 900 increase on hundred appropria-
tons and 100000 on the new bridge, with
other expenses, the rate would be close on
50 cents.
1t is not feared that Wilmington will
object very much. The great trouble is
with the farmers.
"'fhe way Of it is this" remarked Mr.
Eliason. IN the rural hundreds our as
scssments are the same rs in war times.
Farm property is assessed, in some in
stances, at almost double its present mar
ket value. It's different with you in Will
mington. You have the advantage of q
cash assessment The county assessment
in the city has had the advantage of being
checked by the city assessment and you
are down on a solid basis. We are not,
and for over 9, years we have paid almost
double rates. AS ! say, the assessment has
not been changed since IS. That is why
the farmers would kick on any increase of
tax rate. Rural New Castle could not
be sold out by sheriff to within 80 per cent
OF IT'S tax levy appraisement."
Mr. Jolls was OF the same opinion.
Upon being asked he did not see any
immediate remedy for the trouble.
Under any circumstances We're an ad-
justment of the appraisals made there
would be much heavier share of the
burthen fall on the city, and to that extent
the farmers would be relieved.
The fact is, us q rule, the whole of rural
New Castle county is taxed from 20 to 100
per cent over the cash basis. On the as
sessment books farms which would not
sell for $4,000 or 100000 are assessed for
$4,000 and $4,000. ll
Here is the difficulty that the rural hun
dred levy courtmen have to straighten out
with their constituents when talking over
any raising of the tax rate.
Levy courtmen are anxious to know also
what pecuniary concessions to aid in the
bridge that the Water Department, the city
railway and landowners will make.

CHEsTEETowN, Nd, May 1.-The jury Of
inquest on the death of DIR. Hill will meet
in Chcstertown tomorrow morning to
render verdict. Sheriff Plumnier to-day
arrested Stephen Cooper, colored man.
living in the red house near where the
murder was committed, and in whose
house Williams and Brooks, according TO
the statement Of Joshua Baynard, tarried
while after committing the decd. Louis
Benson, little colored boy, was also
brought to Jail. He was one Of the boys
who was in the crowd that is accused Of
numbering the doctor. Henry HURT and
Charles Emory have both confessed being
with the crowd. Henry HURT is a sharp
negro boy, and Notwithstanding the close
questioning he has had, he has not gotten
himself mixed in the least. lie stated to-
day that he was now ready to talk, and
Counselor II. w. Vickers was sent for, to
whom he told his story in the presence of
the sheriff.
He says he has been afraid Of Brooks
and Williams hurting him if he told. But
as they are now in Baltimore he felt no
fear of them. He stated that dearborn
wagon came along with three white men
i'll it, who called to them to get out of the
road, at the same time calling them insult
ing names. This angered the crowd, and
they got stones to throw at them. but the
team was driven off rapidly. While they
were furious at the men in the dearborn
along came DIR. J. H. Hill, and when
called to stop he would not, and so they
vented their passion on him. The horse
first SHE'D and ran upon the bank, which
can be clearly seen, and after 1t was caught
by Brooks, Bradshaw, Comegys and
Emery held it while Brooks threw the
stones and Williams did the cutting.

The inquest into the murder of DIR. J.
Heighe Hill was finished at Chestertown.
Md, ETuesday and the jury rendered the
following verdict
That on April s3d, 1892, at Ford's gate, on the
public road between Millington aad Massey's,
Frisby ComeEys. Charles Brooks and Perry
bradshaw feloniously stopped and held the
horse of Dr. j. Heigho Hill, while on his way To
visit sick child, and that Charles Brooks
struck the said DR.. Hi in tho head with a
stone, and that Fletcher Williams stabbed the
said Dr. Hill with n knife. iniiicting mortal
wounds. of which Dir. Hill died on the follow
ing day-Sunday, April a4th-and tho said
Perry Bradshaw. Frlsby Comegys, Fletcher
Williams md Charles Brooks then and there
feloniously killed and murdered DR.. j. iIeighe
lilll, against the peace and dignity OF the state
of Maryland.
II was brought out during the INQUEST
that the alleged confession of the colored
boy, Louis Benson, had been extorted from
him by the correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, who told him that others had
said he was there and that it would &c
easier with him if he told all. By the
same tactics the reporter obtained a similar
confession from Moses Brown. Both wit.
nesses now repudiate these confessions.
