West bound freights from the Allan
Tie scabolrd are again in bad slnpe, not
withstunling the promises recently made
by the Eastern roads to restore and
maintain the agreed tariff rates. General
Traffic Manager Barry of the Boston and
Maine declares that one Of the fast
freight lines operating over the Wander
hilt system ia connection with road
west Of Chicago is quoting rate from
Boston 10 St Paul 80 per cent lower
than the agreed basis Of St.3D. II is
also slid the Kmuwuhn Dispatch is quot
ing Il rate Of Is cents ON dry goods and
boots aud shoes, and IS cents ON cotton
piece goods TO the Mississippi river on
business destined to points west thereof
In view Of this brcnking down Of the
tariff the 500 line claims The right to
nuke dilcrential rates on the basis Of
81 cents iir5t-olass, instead Of the 81 20
from Boston to ST. Paul and the National
Dispatch will lose no time in
meeting such action. Every Interested
line in this traffic was represented AT a
conference Ia New York fow weeks

CLETER DETECTIrE TORR.
Important Arrest by State Detectives
WiIsil and Mcyey.

For several days State Detectives Witsil
and McNey have been on the lookout for
Michael A, Mooney of Philadelphia, who
is charged with forging the name of Henry
ID Ads of Philadelphia to check on the
Corn Exchange Bank of Philadelphia,
which check was cashed at the Farmers
National Bank in this city. Mooney went
to the Farmers Bank on December 9Th
and stating to John n. Carswell that Mr..
Ads had sent him the check by mail asked
to have it cnshed. The check was for $50.
Mr. Carswell has known Mooney from
childhood, they having been schoolmates
together. The result was the cashier had
implicit confidence in what the fellow said
and cashcd the check.
Nothing further was heard of the man
or the check until the Farmers Bank re-
ceived word that Henry d. Adls had no
account in the Corn Exchange National
Bank, and the check was, therefore, re-
turned, the Philadelphia bank declining
to pay the sum. It was subsequently
learned that the check was forgery.
The matter was placed in the hands of
State Detectives Witsiland McNcy, and the
efforts OF these officers were rewarded We'd
nesday when they succeeded in locating
Mooney at his boarding house, No. Iii
Vine street, Philadelphia lie was found
at the supper table with his wife and three
children. The detectives explained the
object Of their visit and Mooney accom-
panied them to the Central station, where
he was rernandei for the night.
1t is stated that Mooney was formerly
employed by the Wilmington Dental
Manufacturing Company, but was subse-
quent!y discharged owing to alleged
crookedness. Hes well known in tins city.
Detective McNey says that when Michael
Mooney, the fOrger was turned over to

In speaking of the outstanding election
accounts Mr. Jolls said there are bills vet
existing aggregating $1,000. These are
mostly for printing.
In regard to special constables' accounts
Mr.. Jolls drew the attention Of the court
to the absnrdity of the existing dog tax
system. The assessment last year for dog
tax was S2,5OO; the amount collected was
s2oi, and the cost of collecting was $500.
Mr.. Jolls thought the whole matter
absurd and ridiculous 1t would be better
TO abolish the tax altogether
Comptroller Staats expressed an opinion
that the delinquent tax collectors had no
legal right to attempt to collect dog tax.
The court adjourned at 1870 p. IN. to 2
p. m.

urer John L. Dickcy for $500, for extra

paid for that purpose. The account was
refused by a vote of 6 to 4.
The account asking for payment of
$500 for ex-County Treasurer George
ID. Kelley was next taken up. 1t has
already been before the court for CON
slderation. Yesterday the bill was re-
ferred to the comptroller. lie replied
that as it transpircd before his term of
office he could say nothing of it.
Mr.. Ilutchison said that the office of
treasurer had been abolished during Mr..
helley's term and the salary for the un-
expired year. lie stated that Mr..
Kelley had received 5000 already, and
that, in his estimation, was sufficient.

Charged with forging pay checks on
the George w. Bush ~ Sons Company,
p. Frank Davidson was Tuesday
arrested at Hollyvillc, Sussex county,
by Detective Hawkins and Captain
kersey and brought to this city. David
son formerly worked for the George W.
Bush & sons Company as an engineer,
but suddenly left their employ several
months ago. While working for the
company it is alleged that Davidson be.
came acquainted with the manner in
which the employees on the dock were
paid and in this way secured sums of
money at different times. The head
stcvedore signs checks for the men
working about the wharf and the latter
get them cashed at the office. 1t is
claimed that Davidson has been taking

izing upon them until he has secured

Herse," he said, "are too well known to
need detailed description"
Amid renewed cheers from the right
and jeers from the left, he declared that
NJ. lierse tried to buy the Boulangists
with Panama Canal money, but they
had refused TO touch it. Despite VI.
Floquet's repeated protests, cries of
"dissolution" and q general tumult,
which extended to the topmost gallery,
M. Deroulede again addressed himself
to M. Clemenceau.
"Why did this Uerse give 100000
francs to La Justice?" he shouted. NJ.
Clemenceau, white with rage, sprang to
his feet and, shaking both fists toward
M. Deroulede, shouted back in answer,
which nobody could hear i'll the general
confusion. NJ Deroulede closed with
an attack on the mutual Benefit Asso-
ciation,' not of Socialists and revolu-
tionaries, but Of rich men and of rich
mems pamperers.
NJ. cLEMENcEAU's REPLY.
NJ. Clemenceau replied thauM. Derou-
lede's attacks were pernicious, shame
less, and without foundation. Although
he had no written proofs OF his inno-
cenoe, lie deiied NJ. Deroulede to sub
stantiate the charges just made. He
would not answer these brazen ISLANDERS
in the chamber, but would demand per-
sonal satisfaction Immediately after ad-
iournment.
The attacks of the last speaker upon
NJ. Herse were based on falsehood and
imagination. DIR. IIerse had served
France faithfully as soldier and ply
sician. Boulanger himself had not
more devoted friend than DR.. Herse.
M. Clemenceau acknowledged that La
Justice had supported capitalists ucca-
sionally, but denied that it had ever
promoted business enterprises in the
interest of DIR. Hersc. In conclusion
M. Clemenceau cried out:
"Deroulede has accused me of betray-
ing my country by introducing foreign
influence. Deroulede lies"
After another scene of wild disorder
Lucten Millevoye, Boulangist deputy
Tor aomme, rose to defend, as he said,
the memory of Gen. Boulanger against
the aspersions cast on it by NJ. GLENN
ceau's statement concerning the friend
ship between llerse and this great man.
lie then let loose torrent of abuse on
NJ. Clemenceau.
Millevoye closed his speech with the
assertion that Ilerse was the paid ennis
sary Of foregn power.
NJ. Bourgeois, minister of justice, an
nounced, amid applause, that lie would
arraign DR.. Herse before the disciple
nary council of the Legion of Honor.
Nj. Deroulede declared himself satisfied,
and he withdrew his Interpolation. The
chamber then adjourned.

On sunday evening some maliciously
disposed person entered the barn Of
James llindman, who lives between
Landenberg and Chestcryille, and
played havoc with his farm machinery,

as much damage as possible. His NOW
ing machine was taken out of the barn
and run down hill into creek q short
distance away. ~ hay bed was sus-
pended TO the rafters of the barn, and
underneath were number Of valuable
farming utensils. The ropes holding
the hay bed were cut and the bed fell
ON the other machinery, smashing ii
and doing considerable damage other

The Delaware residents at that locality
firmly and pcrsistently object to any
such monument being placed in their
neighborhood. The point where it is
proposed to place it is on the land of
Joel Thompson. Wednesday, December
9TH, in entire accord with his
neighhors, Mr.. Thompson formally set
up on his land the following significant
notice.

The monument stone designed for the
purpose of marking the western initial
point of the newly claimed boundary
line between Delaware and Pcnnsyi-
vania, which was to have been set up
IN White Clay Creek hundred, near
Thompson's station, on the Newark e
Pomeroy railroad, has not been set up.
This is simply so because the people
there are opposed to any such action as
that stone is said to intend,

NJ. Deroulede paused for several min

A Queer Clerical Colony.
New York Letter.


The Rev. Madison c. Peters, rosy
checked young preacher who emigrated to
the Metropolis from Philadelphia some
years ago, said in a sermon on the recent
attempt to lay out a trotting track in
Central Park: THE Lord made fast
horses" So he did, but not in any differ
ent sense from the making of fast men and
women. Things have now so shaped
themselves that any New York preacher
who chooses pending newspaper contro-
versy for tex can insure himself an
advertisement in the columns of some
sensational journal which happens to
espouse the same side of the question
Mr.. Peters preached against the trotting
track, but he didn't come out and own up
that he drives trotter himself, and used
TO dust his Philadelphia Pensioners and
arouse the csnsorioUs thereby. queer

City has of late lent 10 New York, includ-
ing Waldo Messaros, the one-eyed Greek,

Greek, and Madison C. Peters. the sulky-

Lolita and the Poor Player.


Robert Dunlap, the halter, told me yes
terday story about Lolita Crabtree, the
actress, which has never been seen in
print. Some years ago. when E. L. Daveu.
port and James w. Wallack were playing
the legitimate through the country. they
made an appeal to the intellectually CT
Chicago in the famous Crosby opera-t
house. They had as opposition Little
Lolita, at that time q genuine song-and-
dance variety actress. 1t was about the
period that she introduced the banjo to
the American stage outside of burnt-cOrk-
ism. McVicker's theater was packed
every night by people who went wild over
Lotta's childish tricks and banjo PLAYING
while Davenport and Wallack presented
themselves to empty seats. On Saturday
night Mr.. Davenport being called be-
fore the curtain-he was always famous
for his after-play Observation-Disclosures
in some rather questionable criticism
of ChicSgo's taste. He referred to the fact
that the legitimate had not been apprecl-
ated by Chicago, and suggested that when
he next visited the town he would have
Mr.. Wsllack do song and dance, whiA
he would, in the meantime, learn 70 play
the banjo. This being published in the
newspapers, somewhat nettled Lotta.
A few days afterward one of the regula-
ton autograph fiends called at Lotta's
hotel and asked for her autograph. When
she passed over her album Lolita opened it
and the first thing that greeted her eve
was; "E. L. Davenport, a poor player"
1t was Mr.. Davenport's custom to modestIy
write himself down thus in eyerybodvfs
album. Picking up her pen. Lolita wrote
below Dayenport's signature thus: Char
lotte Crabtree, q good banjo player"
When Davenport afterward heard of this,
he enjoyed it very much, and remarked
that If Lolita would forgive him he would
call the affair even.
