Brief Adjourned Meeting Friday Night
Condition Of the Municipal FUNDS.

City Council held an adjourned
session Friday night II met the proceed
ing night but Immediately after roll call,
Thursday being u holiday, adjourned
until Friday night.
Bills aggregating $o56.35, for the col.
lection of garbage, were ordered paid.
The petition presented last week by
Mrs. 5. Tilghman, asking that she be
excused from paying taxes amounting
to S24, was referred 10 the Board of Dr.
rectors Of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment.
The special committee appointed to
confer with the Garfield Monument AS.
ISOLATION and the Board of Directors of
the Street and Sewer Department recon.
mended that Council put around the
Garfield monument a curb aud rail at a
cost not to exceed $3.50, which recon-
mendation was adopted.
The city treasurer reported the fol-
lowing bank balances to the credit of
the city: Union National Bank, $57,.
1876; each of the four depository
banks, $3,5sl.4l; total, s71, 1890. The
total balance December LIST, last year,
was $lo0,052.92. The total balance re.
ported last night was only $56453 less
than the total balance reported week
ago. THIS looks peculiar when it is re.
called that at last weeks meeting the
city treasurer was directed to pay &c.,
1Os.65 to the Board of Education and
$500 to Water Witch Fire Company
and since then no funds nave been de-
posted in the city treasury. A week
ago the treasurer was instructed to
transfer S3,521.4l from each depository
bank to Union National Bank but when
the report which he sent in last evening
was prepared the transfer had not been
made. After Council had adjourned
representative of THE GAZETTE
asked the city auditor for an explana-
ton. Councilman Dannenberg inter-
rupted and laughingly remarked "You
fellows see everything" The auditor
said the treasurer's report for this week
did not mention the transfer because the
report was prepared Wednesday, but
why the funds remained in the deposit
tory banks eight days after they had
been ordered transferred to Union Ma
tional Bank he did not state.
The city auditor certified to the cor
rectness of the accounts of the city
treasurer. He also reported the October
accounts of the Board of Directors of
the Street and Sewer Department, as
follows: Receipts, S4,l52.5l; expendi.
lures, $27 ,569.60; balance in bank to the
credit Of current expenses, $65,041.9l;
balance to the credit of paving and
improving streets, $20.25; total,
$65,062. 16.
The following pay-rolls were passed:
Miscellaneous, S2,733,02; Council,
$27626; police. $4,940.11.
Mr.. Dannenberg announced that he
will introduce an ordinance at the next
meeting.
MIR. Tyre gave notice of an amend.
ment TO section 2 Of the ordinance to
prevent annoyance from dogs.

all double teams, while the others were
single teams. Brandywine hundred
teams went up the Concord road by the
Blue Ball tavern, where the road forked,
the right hand being called the Faulk
road, where the best teaps, if there
were any best, travelled. VI shall not
name the teams, with the exception of
one, probably the best, which was
owned by John Faux in the days Of
yore, '32. 1t was made up Of five fine
horses, each one apparently knowing
his place and especially the leading
horse, which had proud walk, which
he seemed to think fitted the prominent
position that he had in the team. Wen
call him Bill.
In those days team driving was pro-
fession. No ordinary man could even
make good teamster. In fact, he must
know not only how TO drive his horses,
but also how to take care of them and
not abuse them. shall not enter into
the business in particular, except haul
ing wood to Wilmington market. A
good driver needs certain tone of voice,
clear and clean. When the driver spoke
to "Billn he would understand and
throw up his head, and often in coming
home from town, at the crack of the
whip by the driver, the latter also jump
ing on the shafts, all the horses would
start off at full trot, homeward bound.
We often, as boys, my brother and
myself, often waited for Faulk's team
to come along that we might sec how
proud the leading horse walked and
tossed his head.
The young men of those days were a
little mischievous, as they are now, and
the drivers of the teams often took too
much of the ardent l recall couple
of jokes in relation to the above.
A certain John Thompson stopped at
the Blue Ball inn, one afternoon, for re-.
freshment, md, remounting his wagon
and starting off was quickly sound
asleep.
Pretty soon the horses found that they
had no driver and stopped. Somebody
coming along who knew the horses and
where they belonged, unhitched them
and took the team off home, leaving the
wagon and driver behind. The latter
soon awoke and raising up looked ahead
for his horses, then stopped to think
about what was his own name. At last
he said to himself, "If my name is John
Thompson | have lost my horses. But
if am not John Thompson | have
found wagon" ....
There was another man who drove
team and often became booty and prob
ably had stopped at the Blue Ball coming
out of town. Some mischievous fellow
pulled the body bolt out of his vehicle
and when hn etarted rnt N oticip,r III a I
the hind wheels of his wagon did not
follow, kept on with the forward end
on the fore-wheels and the hind end
dragging on the ground. Thus he went
home, without the hind wheels. This
mans name l shall not mention, for fear
that some of the kin are yet living.

Some day-sO many fearful eyes
Are watching for the dawning light
So many faces toward the skies
Are weary of the night
So many falling prayers that reel
Are stagSer upward through the storm;
And yearning hands that reach and feel
No pressure true and warm +!
So many hearts whose crimson wine
Is wasted to purple stain;
And blurred and streaked with drops Of
brine
Upon the lips Of pain
o come to them-those weary ones
Or, if thou still must bide while
Make stronger yet the hope that runs
Before thy coming smile.
And haste and find them where they wait,
Let summer winds blow down that way,
And all they long for, soon or late,
Bring round to them-some day.

A CONTEST WELL WORTH SEEING
Nearly Five Thousand Per-
sons Viewed the Play.
Warren VS.. st. Johns College, Annapo-

= Lively Contest, in Which the Home
Eleven Easily Gained the Victory.

There was a great game Of football
between Warren and the team from St.
Johns College, Annapolis, Nd, at Front
and Union streets Thursday. Warren
literally wiped up the earth with the
sturdy athletes from the corn-cracker
State and when they left the gridiron
Thursday they were about as disheart-
ened and crestfallen lot OF men as ever
chased the pigskin. Warren won a
splendid victory and succeeded in de-
feating the champion team of Maryland
by the score of IL to O.
Fully 5000 people saw the game, in
GLIDING large number Of women. The
grand stand and the bleachers were
filled, and the crowd which assembled
outside the ropes to watch the individ-
ual plays was the largest that has con-
gregated al Front and Union streets this
year. There were the usual number of
"dead-heads," who occupied conspicu-
Gus positions in adjoining trees, while a
number Of living pictures were stretched
at intervals about the fence surrounding
the football grounds.
The teams faced each other as fol-
