City Solicitor Hartman was present
ut the meeting of the Directors of the
Street and Sewer Department Tuesday
evening, and he rendered an opinion on
the claim Of Francis s. Bradley for the
refunding of certain money paid in
liens on certain property. II appears
that the property was sold by the
sheriff in 1876, and later it was sold
BY the city to satisfy liens. Mr.. Brad
ley thought that the sheriff's sale
wiped out the liens, and that nothing
was due in that direction after the sale.
Mr.. Hartman decided that Mr. Bradley
was not entitled to have the money re-
funded as the city's claim had never
been previously satisfied. However,
the case brings up legal question,
which the members of the department
would like to see determined. The sec
rotary was directed to notify the
sheriff that all liens on property which
he sells must be paid and also to ask
him to send to the office of the de-
partment advertisements Of all proper
ties that he intends to sell so that the
officers can ascertain whether they
have any claims.
Hubert Cassidy petitioned the depart
ment to ask for commission to open
Banning street as he desires to, erect 10
houses at Banning and Rodney streets.
The directors decided to take look at
the location, and at the next meeting
they may take some action.
A communication was also received
asking for pavement on either Elm
Or Linden streets from Franklin to
Broome, the petitioners stating that
travelling on those thoroughfares in
muddy weather is extremely disagree
able. 1t was decided to view that To-
cation also.
Residents Of the Ninth ward asked
FOR electric lights on Elliott avenue
between the Boulevard and the water
tower, the letter bearing the request
stating that the lights are badly need
ed. The directors concluded to take
look at thst place also before they take
any action. II is probable that they
will have several incandescent lights
put up.
Charles E. Fleming & Co., of Phila-
delphia made the request that they be
allowed to put up several enameled
steel street signs as samples OF their
wares, so that the directors and the

New Castle, Sept. 9. - To the present
City Council belongs the credit of
making move in the right direction
towards putting the streets in proper
repair. Soon after the election last
April, President Morrison announced
that just as soon as sufficient road
taxes came in to warrant such action
he favored the repaying Of Front street.
At the meeting Of City Council in July
the clerk was ordered to advertise for
proposals for doing the work. The
bids were opened at the meeting on
Tuesday night but the contract was
not awarded until Saturday evening
when special meeting was held for
that purpose.
The bids, as published were read
and on motion of Mr.. Cooper, seconded
by Mr.. Eliason, the contract was
awarded to Davis & Bro, of Whining
ton. at 1898. S., or Is cents per square
yard.
The contract calls for the repaving
of Front street from Delaware to Har-
mony streets, all the large stones to be
broken and no stone larger than 10
inches to be used. The centre of the
street is to have a six-inch crown and
the work is to be completed in 15 days.
The street committee will notify the
property owners along Front street this
week that they must be ready to reset
the curb where necessary. The large
tree north of Boulden's store will be
uprooted as its roots have driven the
gutter and curb stone from the proper
position as we'll as raised an unsightly
hill no the pavement. The work will
be commenced this week.
A pleasing sight was witnessed in
St Peters r. G. Church, yesterday
morning, when the members of the I.
A. b. Society attended first mass and
received holy communion in body.
The society will celebrate Father
Matthew's birthday. by grand rally
in the church. The date is not yet set
as it will not be held until after the
completion of the frescoing and paint
ing of the church.
Yesterday in Emmanuel Church Chap
lain Munson baptized the infant daugh-
ter of John r. Lambson. The water

Jerusalem, and was obtained by the
child's grandfather, j. Harry Rogers
while on cruise around the world in
the old man-of-war, Constitution, in
1896.
New Castle people were sadly disap-
pointed on Saturday by there being no
game of ball. Ferguson of the G. A.
G. was to have been presented with

week for being the most popular base
ball player in the State. The presenta-
tion will take place at the first game

BAKERsFIELD. Cal. April "a - Lord
Sholto Douglass, third son OF the Marquis
OF Qusensberry, was arrested yesterday at
the instance OF several Of his friends, who
declare he is insane. This is simply de-
vice to prevent him from disgracing his
family by marp. ing woman Of whom no
ID desperately enaInored.
Several months ago Lord Sholto came
here to look after +0acre fruit ranch
which his mother had bought The agent
Of Higgin a. Lewis, the millionaire land
owners who are developing this richest
part OF tho San Joaquin valley, showed
young Douglass over the whole country
and introduced him to several rioh Eng
lishmen who have fine ranches near town.
Lord Sholto, seemed to bo favorably i'm
pressed. Ho lived like gentleman for q
time,
but Has Lately Changed.
Ho began to drink very heavily and re-
sorted without shame to disreputable
houses.
Bakersfield Is one of the toughest places
In California, having 20 saloons and
dozen disorderly houses. though ID has
only 5000 Inhabitants. Lord Sholto be-
came a conspicuous figure in the local
tenderloin, and on Monday<pight he was
swindled out of $500 by tin lr0rn gamblers.
He gave checks on local banks.
In the saloon whore he was swindled is
pretty waitress, named Loretta Adds,
and of her Lord Sholto became desperately
enamored. He importuned her to marry
him, and yesterday he amazed his friends
by applying for a
License to Marry the Girl.
When this was learned, one Of his
friends, M. G.. Brewster, swore out Z war
rant for his arrest upon the ground Of In
sanity, and he was locked up. He is In q
great rage.
The girl came from San Fran cisco re-
Gently with her mother. The latter re-
turned short time ago, after her son had
been arrested for vagrancy. The girl re-
mained and sold beer In sort of variety
theater connected with the saloon.
She is pretty and is said to have main
tanned good character. She made pro-
found impression on Lord Sholto. and
only yesterday she agreed to marry him.
The local British colony was thrown into
the widest excitement by the news.
