Women Mentioned Ms Candidates for the
Board of Education at the Coming Elec-
tiOn for Members.
The annual election for members to I'LL
vacancies in the Board of Education will
be varied this year by the appearance of
women candidates in the field. The New
Century Club educational committee who
have taken considerable interest in matters
pertaining to the education Of youth
preparatory to future citizenship, and with
their ardor nowise abated by the failure to
pass Compulsory Education bill through
the Legislature the past winter, have turned
their attention to the matter OF placing
some of their number on the Board Of
Education. IS test of the relative value
of the work rendered to the community,
as women against men.
The candidates will be from the First,
Third and Fifth wards. Those who have
been named In connection with the nomi-
i nation in their respective wards are Mrs.
W. X. Crosby In the First Miss Mary
Sjsson In ,hc Third, and Mrs. Benjamin
kields in the Fifth.

and hold office, is shown by an act passed
at Dover April 18th, 1880:

Work on Warrant Issued by His wife,
WHO'S in PhonixEille.
A constable came from Phenixville
yesterday and reported to Chief
of Police Dolan that he had war
rant for man named William Atkinson,
who is charge by his wife, resident of
Phnnixville, with desertlon.
The Pennsylvania officer said he knew
Atkinson was here, and it was ascer-
tanned that he was at work at the
mills of the Diamond State Iron Co.
The officers went there and found him
at work, where the warrant was read,
Atkinson made an explanation and
agreed to accompany the constable to
Phenixville without requisition.
Atkinson's statement is that he re-
Gently came to this city from Ph@nix-
vile in consequence of having secured
employment here. He says he was
anxious to remove his family to this

consequently he came without her.

A SUSPECTED MURDERER
The Local Police Thought They
Had Big Game.

Two Officers Swallowed n Man Whom
They Supposed To he "Ariz0na Bob"
Who is Wanted in Elkton, But the
identification Fails.
A stranger was seen in this city Tues
day who bore q striking resemblance
to ARIZONA Bob" who Is wanted In
Elkton, Nd, for a murder which he is
supposed 10 have committed in that
town last summer.
Chief Of Police Dolan was apprised
of the presence of tho suspicious char
acler and he at once detailed two of his
officers on the case At the same time he
notified the Elkton authorities of his
suspicious and asked that somebody
hasten 10 Wilmington to identify the
man.
The supposed murderer was not ar
rested, but the officers were cautioned to
shadow him, which they did until the
Elkton people could get all opportunity
to make an Investigation. The police-
mon on the case reported to headquarters
that the suspect was acting strangely,
and they firmly believed he was the
right man and were congratulating
themselves that they were about to bag
buCu DIk HRHles
Immediately upon receipt Of the
telegram from Wilmington Deputy
Sheriff Mackey of Elkton was ordered
by the authorities there to come up
and make an investigation, as he was
familiar with the appearance Of "Ari.
iona Bob" When the deputy sheriff
arrived in this city no was given an
opportunity to investigate the case
and identity the stranger, if possible
Although he saw striking resemblance
he thought it was not the man wanted
for the Eikton crime, and returned
home without giving any clue thai
would warrant the local authorities In
arresting and holding the man.
All OF the investigation was conducted
by the officers unknown to the sus'
pected man, but ample opportunity was
given to identify him if he was the per
son wanted. AS soon as the officers
were assured by the Elkton deputy
sheriff that there was u mistake, the
clue was abandoned.
1t is thought that "Arizona Bob" i!
somewhere in the South.

A WATCH SWINDLE.
Tricky Youth Succeeds In
Buncolng a Farmer.

Joseph Brown of Appleton, Md, is the
Victim and He Buys 5o-cent Time
piece for $3.50, and Comes Near Get
ting Locked Up in the Bargain.
Joseph Brown, q farmer, residing at
Appleton, Md, was the victim OF bold
watch swindle yesterday, and as q
result he came very near getting himself
locked up.
Brown came to Wilmington early in the
morning with quantity of produce from
his farm and occupied his usual place near
Eighth and King streets.
AT about ~ o. clock well-dressed youth,
apparently about IL years of age, APP
preached Farmer Brown and asked tue
time. Brown replied that he did not know,
as lie had 10 watch.
How, would you like to buy one
cheap? the young man asked, as he
pulled out what looked like good gold
watch.
MIR. Brown at first said he did not want
it, but the lad told n pitiful tale of being
away from home and friends without
money, and said he was willing to part
with the time-piece for So, although he
valued it much higher. Still Brown re-
fused to buy. Then the boy came. down
in his price until he concluded toaccept
800.
Farmer Brown was more moved by tho
watch.
The youth represented that he wanted to
go to his relatives in Trenton, n. j., and
the only way to raise the money was to
sacrifice the watch.
Mr.. Brown felt assured that bargain
| was offered him and he finally accepted
the terms offered and was given the watch
| on payment of $3.50. In addition he gave
the boy five cents with which 10 buy some
cakes, and felt real good that he had
assisted some one in distress.
AS soon as the deal was contaminated
the young man departed, and left no trace
| of his movements after him.
The watch began to worry the farmer
soon after he made the purchase, and ht
| finally decided to get rid of it. Accord
ingly he started out to try and sell 1t a:
soon as he had disposed of his produce.
He did not find purchaser, however
but officer Lucas arrested him on suspicion
! of having stolen it, The prisoner was takei
| to the police station and there he satisfied
the chief that he had been buncoed, anC
was allowed to go home with his new time
piece.
Chief Dolan suspected that the watcl
was bogus and got Jeweler Baynard TO ties
it. The examination proved that it wa!
brass and Mr.. Baynard said it was no
worth so cents.
1t is believed that the hoy. who appeared
to be q stranger here, is working in tn
interests of bogus watchmakers who mr.
trying to get their wares off on farmers
II is also thought that boys are doing tn
selling, as they can work the sympath!
racket better than men.
The police are on the lookout for tn
youth who swindled Farmer Brown, an
if he is seen he will be arrested.
