LINCOLN.
Milford, June IS, 1898.


Children's Day was observed at both
the Methodist and Union Sunday Schools
last Sunday by special exercises. The
recitations and singing by the children
was we'll rendered and reflects much
credit upon their instructors. In the
Union Sunday School the recitation by
Mamie Curtin aud the singing Rock of
Ages" by Maggie Wilson and Lulu Tai
ley, was far above the average. In the
Methodist school the recitation by Min
ME Reed and character singing Rock
a.by-Baby," by little Maize Reed. was
beautiful, in fact both scholars done as
we'll as they could under the circumstan-
ces rs the pieces were generally dull.
Both churches were beautifully decorated
with flowers and plants
The many friends CT our former young
townsman, George w. Burke, r., will be
pleased tn hear that he gr aduated last
week at Goldey's Business College at
Wilmington, with high honors and was at
once offered and accepted a good posi-
ton III the Wilmington Brandywine
Bank. George is a fine young man and
Lincoln City wishes him a long and sue
cessful business career.
About fifteen of the thirty OF forty prop
erty holders who are interested in the
payment of the balance of the Williams
mortgage which was given on lands in
this village in 1877 at the time the sher-
if sale of this property, and Of which
there remains balance of about $500 yet
due, held a meeting last Friday evening
to devise means for a settlement Those
present we're unanimous in their opinion
that the best and fairest way to settle this
affair would be to appoint three disinter-
ested parties to act as appraisers; they to
appraise the property at the rental value
and fix the rate of tax each property
owner to pay, the total to be sufficient to
lift the mortgage and pay what cnsts that
may accrue. To this end Charles H.
Sackett, William Chipman and James H.
Deputy of D., were chosen appraisers.
They will meet again in about two weeks
aud make their report Should there be
any who do not wish to comply with
the arrangements they are in no way COM
PEELED to; but those who do comply, it is
will receive a release for their
property. Mr.. Sackett says he thinks
that fifty per cent of the rental value from
each, or in other words, if a property is
at fifty dollars rental value, the
owner to pay twenty-five dollars. This
he believed would be sufficient
% cancel the mortgage and forever put an
end to the hydra that has been the curse

Troop BIS armory, at Twelfth and Orange
streets, Wilmington, was sold Monday night
by Troop B Association to the Wilmington
Turugemeinde, a German athletic associa-
ton of that city, for $4,000. Possession
will be given within thirty days, and within
that time also the troop will disband in ac-
cordanee with a resolution already adopted.
Wilmington's s crack military organization will
then be thing of the past
Troop BIS armory was built in 1891 and
cost $40, 900 It was designed by E. L. Rice,
the captain of the troop, and was built by
John Mulivena II was intended at the time
to make the armorY the repository for all the
state military stores.
To. control the armory the Troop B. Asso-
citation was formed and was composed of
some of the best people Of the city. To aid
in constructing the armory $4,000 was bor-
rowed from the state aud on this sum the as
sociation has to pay 3 per centum interest a
year. About the same time a law was
passed to give each military company in
this city $500 a year additional to what they
already received. There was a defect in the
law as passed ana the additional appropria-
ton was only received for one year.
The troop was under heavv expenses, a
mortgage for nearly $4,000 on the building,
in addition to the state mortgage, and the in
terest on the state mortgage could not be
paid.
Seeing that it was useless to attempt long
er to maintain the armory the association
asked the state to take the building in pay
meut for the mortgage and interest, the
General Assembly hayiug demanded that
the interest be paid or the building sold.
The General Assembly appointed a COM
mittee to look at the building aud see if it
would be advisable for the state to assume
control of the building, The committee
never acted and nothing remained for State
'Treasurer Buruite to do but sell the build
ing.
The association did not desire to allow the
building to go at a sacrahce sale and so they
made the sale to the Wilmington Turnge-
meinde as stated. The price paid-SI4, 600
will be sufficient to pay all the debts Ofthe
association
