TUESDAY

Inc House this morning passed the
charter of Georgetown, which gives the
town power TO erect water works and
make other improvements. The charter
is one Of the largest bills which has corpe
up for consideration in either house dur
ing this SESSION.
Sometime ago it will be remembered. a
bill was offered in the House to increase
the salary Of the Levy Court commission
ers of New Castle county IRON $500 to
$1,000. Il was provided that the commits
toner's should receive mileage. This
morning the House passed a substitute
bill to allow the commissioners nileaoe
only at the rate of ~ cents a mile and
the whole sum not to exceed $500 a year.
The bill was sent to the Senate where
it had been read for the first time. When
it had been read Senator Pilling spoke
briefly. The people of New Castle couu-
ty, he said are tired of this increase of
salaries There are plenty of men who
are willing TO be a Levy Court commits
iioner at a salary Of $500 n year and the
'est men can be obtained at that rate.
he moved that further consideration of
he bill be indefinitely postponed. The
notion was unanimously carried.
The House has passed a bill TO amend T
he election law of Wilmington. The
III IS now in the hands of the Senate c
nd provides that all male citizens over .
lie age Of 81 years who have resided in
'ast Lake for three months shall be en- u
tied to register and vote at the coming
ty election

Love POtionS Are POWerleSS TO Pre-.

Judge Slack had the pleasure of listening
to suit yesterday afternoon in which the
limited capacities of the occult sciences
were practically illustrated.
According to the complaint Robert s.
Battelle was on and before the 9th Of Sep
TENDER. 1891, a blithe and happy man. sup
porting his wife and family by the sweat
of his brow. But on that unauspicious day
Battelle had the misfortune to travel out to
the park by the California-street cable
route, and coming back by the same service
he received severe shaking by reason of
the car coming into contact with "buf-
fer" Battelie claimed that he was so Sc
yerely injured in this contest that nothing
less than $4,000 damages against the COM
pany could compensate him for the bodily
suffering and penury consequent on loss
of work which that accident oeca stoned.
The case was one of Dumber that have
been tried lately in oil its main points, but
there was considerable amusement in court
when plaintiffs present occupation was
inquired into. 1t appeared that as soon as
BaHelle was we'll enough to get about he
entered into partnership with Mrs. Annie
b. Joyce in the scientific preparation of
wondrous love-potions and lnfallble reel
pes for the complexion. To add further
luster to his occupation Battelle had the
forethougbt to change his name temporarily
TO Professor Zera, under which title he
freely advertised. He also told fortunes
and offered to preserve the lives of the con-
sumptve.
But Zera and his partner must have had
some sort of a disagreement, for Miss
Joyce, who confessed in court to having
sold loye-potions, and also having kept a
home for children that were in the way,
nevertheless went back on her former
partner, and declared in court that he had
called upon her after the accident, and
told her that he had entered into scheme
with 4 well-known doctor to defraud the
company.
This testimony was borne out by another
witness, and it was further insinuated
thas Battelle had received his mystic in
iuries in drunken brawl. True. his arm
was broken, but it had been broken once
before. and was liable to break any time.
And>as it was further shown that Pro
lessor Zera had been examined by two OF
the company's doctors immediately after
the accident, and that they pronounced him
sound. when the case went 10 the jury no
time was lost in entering judgment for the
defendant.

A MAJORS PLANT.
SaIVatiOniStS Not Wanted
in Alameda.
Soldiers Did Nst Meet With the Re-
ception They Hoped For, So
They Withdrew.

The Salvation Army has had to with
draw its forces from Alameda for lack of
moral and financial support. so says Major
Kyle.
Under Major Kyle an attack was made
upon the DEVILS citadel in Alameda and
barracks opened on Park street, near the
broad-gauge tracks.
From the first the Alameda fight was
hard and discouraginR," says Major KEEP
pei, who is now in charge of the Pacific
Coast division. Small crowds in the hall
and sometimes no auditors at all, home
opathic collections and seldom soul
saved was not the kind of fighting calcu-
lated to inspire Salyationists with en-
thusiasm. But this was the general char
acter of the war in that city until the
divisional officer, becoming tired of grind
ing the hearts out of his subordinates and
wasting faithful officers upon community
30 appreciative, in disgust closed the
barracks indefinitely"
This was some time ago. Recently
scouts were sent out 10 recoDnoiter the
ground again with view of resuming the
war in Alameda.
But their report was so discouraging
that Major keppel wisely concluded to lot
Alameda go for the time being.
If we meet with any announcement at
ALL" says Major Keppel. 1--WE stick to a
place till there is not soul unconverted,
but there are too many cities and towns
yet to be converted to enable US to waste
time and strength where we are not APP
preciated.
When our work has been done in every
other town in the Pacific Coast division,
then we will return to Alameda and stay
there, hnt at present the field is too broad
to think of fighting at puintwhere the foe
is well nigh impregnable.
"But we don't recognize any class" SAYS
Major Keppel. ut is wrong to suppose
that the Salvation Army appeals only Il
the ragtail and bobtail of creation, as the
poor unfortunates are called.
I'm our membership we include some of
the best and most respected men and
women in the city: We appeal to all men
