asked the other day by an indignant

Wilmington and down the State leaving
here at 2.45 a. m. There were 800 yisi-

charge of disorderly conduct preferred

fluence of liquor. 1t is said his object
in calling at Tie establishment where
roses and hair. cuts are the leading at.
fractions was to see Mrs. WiDgert's
daughter. The latter's mother strenu.
ously objected to the young mans Woo
ing and informed him of her opposition
to his suit, it is said. Subsequently Mr..
Wingert and the young lady's brother
got mixed up in the controversy, and
when Sergeant Evans appeared on the
scene he took the young man in custody.
At the city hall Chief of Police Dolan
released Clinch on his own recognizance.
Instead Of following the chiefs advice
and remaining away from the Wingert
mansion, Ulinch returned about $50

atonement for his conduct.
His appearance only further aggre-
waited Mrs. Wingert, and she again or.

doorway, and Clinch AYERS the woman

Goldey to the college with which she
was connected the first two years of its
history. She takes the newly created
position OF vice-principal. The Rev.
DR.. w. l.. 5. Murray, one of the lecture
staff, who lectures on business ethics
and political economy, has been APP
pointed to the new position of dean of
the institution. These two additions
will enable the faculty more carefully
than ever to look after the moral train
Ing OF the students. Principal Goldey
says:
. am glad to state that we have Just
had the finest opening in our history,
having at present the largest attendance
OF any previous corresponding period.
New students are coming in daily as our
instruction is mainly Individual, not
class; a student thus enters at any time
without embarrassment, pursues his
individual course and takes an indi-
Vidual examination when he has done
his prescribed work.

Hazel Dell Trott,ng aIeetins.

The movement for a two.days' trot-
ting meeting during the firemen's tour
namcnt is being pushed by influential
citizens. The proposition is to have the
races at Hazel Dell ia conjunction with
the tournament. The promoters ask
that 80 citizens each subscribe the sum
Of $50, SO as to ensure fund of $500
for expenses. There wllr be an admis-
sion charge, and the receipts will be
divided among the subscribers to the
fund. II thought that the races would
attract a great many people to the city
and contribute to the success of the
tournament, and those subscribing will
in all probability get their money back.
ANY person wishing to know more of
the movement should apply to George
w. Ortlip, at Central Hotel.

SMYRNA, Sept. 14.-The Board of
Town Commissioners met last night to
receive and open bids for the electric
light plant. During the day electricity
was the topic of conversation, and rep
resentatives of various systems were
here in force, each with their bid ready
to be submitted. One company had nine
representatives on the field, and they
engaged themselves button. holeing each
commissioner when he made move.
An engineer had been engaged by the
board to make plans and specifications
for the plant some time since, which
were distributed to the various COM
panies. In order to combine the electric
plant with the water works it was neces-
sary to add two additional 50-horse
power single cylinder automatic en-
gines. The specifications called for two
dynamos, 1000 volts alternating cur.
rent, to be RIM from each of two cir.
cults, and 800 incandescent 1910. p. and
so incandescent 32-c. p. lamps; 81
Helios arc lamps for 10 ampere current
for street lighting, al! to have weather
proof heads.
The bids of which there were 10, were
read. Among the firms represented
were the In Roche Electric Works OF
Philadelphia, the Westinghouse Electric
aud Manufacturing Company of Phila-
delphia, the Penn General Electric
Company of Philadelphia and the Hut
ton Engineering Company Of Baltimore,
After reading of bids and a consultation
by the board, ii was found that no bid
provided for building and that all bids
exceeded the appropriation of $4,000.
The highest bid was $l5,246, and the
majority ranged from $l0,500 to
$1,000. The difference was caused by
the particular make of engine. After
considerable discussion a motion was
made by Mr.. Robinson, chairman of the
light committee, to reject all bids, which
was adopted
The meeting adjourned without any
action Being taken. 1t is now proposed
to draw new specifications and receive
bids at some early date, 1t being desired
to have the plant in operation early in
December.
