DEATH OF A PROMINENT CIsIzEN.-
In death of George Lobdell, aged n
years Wilmington loses an enterprising
and hOnored citizen. Through his
own skill, patience and energy he ac-
cumulated large property. In fact
he was emphatically the architect of
his own fortune. The great car wheel
establishment on the south side is a
fitting monument to his memory. His
interest in the promotion of temper
ance, morality and every other good
work, was unaaRging, and his uGostent-
atious mode of life worthy of imitation.
The devotion of his property, Min
quidale, as a Home for Aged Men, will
prove a monument to his memory as
well as blessing to many worthy and
deserving men. He was estimated to
be wOrte 100000.

CARE OF THE INSANE OF DELAWARE.
The trustees of the State Hospital at
FdrnhUrst met at the hospital Thursday
The business transacted was chiefly
of a routine character. The chief dis
cussiOn of the day grew out of the re-
port of superintendent Hancker, and
related to the crowded condition of the
hospital. In response to instruction
from the board at its last meeting DR..
Hancker reported the result of his
examination of the patients under his
care with a view of discharging such
as were not subjects for hospital treat
ment. He reported twenty six cases,
fourteen from New Castle county, nine
from Kent and three from Sussex
county, which he thought could be
properly cared for at home or at the
county almshOuse.
The report of the Finance Committee
showed the expenses of the hospital
for past year to have been $4,000 OF
$35, 900 to May /, 1894, including a de-
felt of $1,000 for the year 1898. The
cost per capita for the inmates has
been $I37 per annum. This sum, COM
pared with the reports of all hospitals
for the insane in the United States, is
less than in all the similar hospitals
except in Kentucky, where the cost
per capita of the inmates is reported at
$135 per annum. The per capita cost
in Delaware Hospital, less the salaries
of officials and attendants, is $l01. At
this is the usual way of counting the
cost of each inmate, the cost hereIis,
less than ia and state in the Union

The Morning NelUs in referring to the
course of Collector Powell in leaving
the state to keep from receiving taxes
Despite the efforts of the Democrats to
prevent the Republicans of Kent and
Sussex counties from paying their taxes
they managed to do sOs save perhaps
10 few instances, and they also know
how many Democrats had their taxes
paid, The time for receiving taxes in
Kent and Snssey counties closed on
Saturday night, and unless, as stated
there is some big fraud perpetrated be-
tween now and the time the election
is held the Republicans will carry
these two counties. The time for pay
ing taxes in New Castle county will
not expire for more than two months
yet.
concerned the battle has been fought
and won by the Republicans. The re-
enactment Of the old delinquent laws
for those two counties made the pay
ment of taxes and not the ballot the
means of carrying an election. Inc
fight was transferred from the polling
places to the tax offices and the work
had TO be done there. The Democrats
we're sorry to find that they had un'
knowingly left a loophole in the Law
by which the collector could be pun
ished II he failed to receive taxes ac
cording to law. 1t was this part OF the
law which made it possible to pay taxes
The opinion was expressed on Satur
day by men Of both Kent and SUSSEX
counties that as matters now stand th'
Republicans can carry these two coun'
ties. The battle hes been won so fal
as the payment Of taxes Is concsrped
and the Republicans will see that tneI
are not defrauded out of the election

ONE THING THAT HAS NOT DE-
CLINED.
The Value of Money Has Not Fallen a
Particle--Bank Stocks Rule
as High as Ever.

Correspondence of the Charlotte Observer
There is one notable exception to the
general decline in prices. While cotton
has gone from 1Oc. per pound to &c,
and wheat has fallen from about 81 90
per bushel to Soc, and carpets and cur
talns and chairs, and almost every con-
celvable thing else, has fallen from 20
to 80 per cent. in price, the value of
money has not fallen one particle.
When cotton was IL cents per pound
the interest on money in this section
was s per cent. and in New York 6 e
cent, and these are still the current
figures for loans IN the respective places
named. While other stocks, with few
and are exceptions, have fallen in
value, bank stocks rule as high as ever
and probably in most cases even higher.
Labor and practically all the products
OF labor are lower in price. Bank stocks
and money alone snow no i'll effects as
a result of the panic. Two years z
n pound of cotton would more than
pay the interest on one dollar for one
year. At the present time 1t requires
nearly two pounds of cotton to pay the
interest on the same dollar. The labor
necessary to produce the pound Of cot
ton has not decreased. The price for
the use Of the dollar has simply IN,
creased.
The poor Democrat who wrote the
above is a calamity bowler. He has
got his eyes open, but don'J know that
ne is a Populist.

man, which was cut loose and backed
from the train.

which threatened to topple over at any
moment, the engineer was taken from
his engine by uninjured passengers.
