Patrolman Lyons Reprimanded for
Shooting at Fleeing Negro---oiothing
Contracts Awarded.
The Board of Police Commissioners
last Monday Investigated charges pre-
ferred against Police officer Lyons, for
shooting John Boyer, colored, on Thurs.
day morning last. According to the
testimony, Boyer, whose character is
notoriously bad, was drunk and dis
orderly, on the street in front of the
Eighth street market house. Lyons
took the negro in custody. At this
iuncture Officer Gum came along and
while Lyons was keeping guard over
the prisoner Gum was sending tele-
phone message for the patrol wagon
from the Eighth street market house.
During Gums absence Boyer broke
away from Lyons and ran, The officer
says he fired two shots in the air, Will
liam IL. Hill Of the Morning Ne'cs,
whose residence is at Eighth and Ship
Icy streets, says he counted four dis
tinct shots. So say other witnesses. As
result of the firing Boyer was hit by
one Of the bullets, and that is what led
TO the investigation.
| Lyons says the fugitive prisoner ran
as far as Sixth and Tatnall streets,
where he was recaptured. Instead Of
taking the man to the city hall, but a
few blocks away, Lyons stupidity
marched the prisoner up to Eighth and
Orange streets. The patrol wagon
came all the way from the stables, il
the rear of Blouth's MOTEL, to take d
prisoner distance of four squares &c
the police station. Lyons was allowed
to 60 with a suspension of one day.
The board awarded the contract fol
furnishing fall and winter clothing fo
the police department, consisting of nj
overcoat and pantaloons TO Justis &
Davidson at $40 Il suit and the contrac
for furnishing helmets to Finn Brother
at $3.50 apiece.
On petition of the Wilmington &
Northern Railroad Company Johl
Kienle was appointed special officer a
Church street wharf.
Paschal H. Peterson was appointed
SPECIAL officer at the Peoples Theatre.
The Wilmington City Electric Com
pany sent bill of $3.50 for lightin
the police station. The board said th
contract for lighting all the city builG
ings is $5S0.10 a year. The member
thought the bill indicated that Cit
j, Council intends to compel the Polio
/ Commissioners to pay more than half q
. the whole contract price. The boar
decided not to pay the bill unless PEI
e mission is given them to make the
I own contract.

The effects Of the disturbance, he

unfit for habitation, 9l3 people were

wounded, and 0,700 cattle, horses, sheep

ELECTRiC moan IN SIAM.
1t Pays Handsomely and There is Room
for These Lines In other Oriental Cities.


WASHINGTON, Aug. / In connection
with the question OF danger TO Ameri-
can interests in Siam, should the threat
euing state of affairs there continue, the
United State vice-consul at Bangkok re-
ports to the State Department that an
electric street car line, three miles long,
shas been put into successful operation
in that city, by the aid Of American en-
terprise.
The plant was put up by the Short
Electric Company Of Cleveland, Ohio,
at cost of about $4,000, W.. J. Dawson
having been engineer in charge. This
is the first electric street car line in tho
extreme Orient Its success is such that
the receipts of the line have already in
creased by 80 per cent, and the manage
ment is contemplating building an ex-
tension.
The yice.consul is of the opinion that
the American electrical companies were
to send competent representatives to the
large cities of Asia, they could secure a
number of contracts similar TO the one
that has been SO satisfactorily executed
| by the Cleveland firm.
