To Leave Town.

Track Foreman J. C. Wilson, who has re-
sided in Middletown for the past thirty
years, and has charge of the division
of the r R. track known as Subdivision
No. 5, will remove to Townsend on
March 25, where he will thereafter have his
headquarters and tool house. Mr.. Wilson
makes the change because of the greater
convenience being located nearer his work.
A number of other employees on the R. R.
track will also remove to Townsend, about
ten families in all. which will make quite
q vacuum in Middletown.
Middletown transcript., 1895-01-12

The certificates were then duly signed
and read and Mr.. Marvil was declared gov.
ernor far four years beginning on Tuesday
next. Thejoint session then adjourned.
The first bill of the session was intro
duced by Representative Walker in the
House to-day, and is therefore known as
house bill No. 1. 1t is to amend and re-
new the character of the Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance Company. The company
| desires its character amended so that it can
insure vessels as we'll as property on land
So far as is known there is not home COM
pany in Delaware which insures vessels,
and the Farmers Company is after that
work.
The first notice of real estate bill was
given by Representative Walker. The COM
pany to be chartered will be known as the
Newark Real Estate Company and will have
capital of $4,000. Joseph Hossinger and a
number of others are interested.
Representative Brown gave notice of a
bill to allow the town of Seaford to issue
bonds. The amount has not yet been de-
cided upon. The money so raised will be
used in building water works and possibly
an electric light plant.
Representative Mustard this morning
gave notice of bill to repeal the liquor
law known as the Bottle law, which al
lows the saloon-keeper to sell in guam
titles less than quart, to be drunk off
the premises. The repeal of the law will
probably be opposed.
The first discussion which has occurred
during the session occurred in the House
this afternoon, when Mr.. Moore offered
joint resolution to pay Governor Reynolds
$1,000 for his duties as trustee of the
direct tax fund.
Mr.. Walker asked that the resolution
be laid on the table because the members
we're not familiar with the matter and
also that there has been constitutional
question raised. At the last session of the
Legislature similar resolution was offered
to pay like amount and killed each
time. In justice to the governor he said
that the reason why it was not paid was
tina. the governors work was not COM
plete.
After considerable discussion the mea-
sure was tabled by vote of 13 to 8.
The regular routine work was disposed
of and both branches of the Legislature
adjourned Wednesday afternoon until
Monday at five p. m.

WOMEN WANTED TO BE JURORS,
They Were Indignant When the Judge
Wouldn't LET Them Serve

They Were Indignant When the Judge
Wouldn't Let Them Serve.
Judge Allen, of the District Court of Den
yer, Col. excused Mrs. Clara B. Craig and
Mrs. w. Millard Bell from serving as Jurors
this week. They had been drawn in the
regular way and had consented to serve, but
when they arrived at the Court House the
Judge peremptorely discharged them
They declined to be dismissed so easily and
wanted to know why they should not earn
jurors fees as well as the professional male
jurors.
Judge Allen said that no provision had
been made for the accommodation of wo.
men as jurors, and he doubted if the law
permitted anyway. He painted the terrors
of an all nigth sitting, and showed th EN- the
inconvenience of being locked up in a
room with a lot of horrid men. They
went away dissatisfied.

A FLATTERlNo OFFER.
Uncle Joe Holden Reciprocates and Offers
to Take County Official Into Partner
ship-He Has New Proof That the World
Fiat-A Lecturing Tour.

Inc STORY was rumored yesterday nsthe
City Building that one of the most gent
al and popular and prominent of the Off
cial5 on the county side, has had such q
natterlng offer to go into business that
possibly the county may soon loose his
services. The offer, If accepted, will give
wider opportunity for the exercise of his
abilities than at present afforded and
very tempting prospects of large financial
returns. There is nothing definite as yet,
but it has leaked out that at least one
person has already learned of the pos
sible change and is setting his cap for
the vacant position should one occur.
This offer is the result of an urbanity
of manner, both natural and cultivated
that in this instance was dispensed, of
course, with no thought of any return,
but which may produce for the donor ex-
traordinary profits. We cannot refrain at
this point from calling attention to the
moral that is here patent.
The fact is that Mr.. Joseph H. Holden
Of O5isfeld, somewhat familiarly and
poplarly known as "Uncle Joe,n was the
| ICOAPi0uu VI tu0 tlOItStziu uTUduIUy anu
has SO based in it's pleasant warmth and
SO enjoyed the same that he it is who has
taken the steps that may result in the
loss to the county of the aforesaid official.
Recently the latter received a letter
from Unole Joe. It expressed gratitude,
etc., at first, and then proceeded to make
the following offer. He has been MAX
ing extensive studies of late in some
newly discovered and ancient tombs and
has now positive proof that the earth is
fat. He offered the county official a CO.
partnership with him in a Iecturing
tour through Cumberland county. The
official Is to act as general manager and
master Of ceremonies and advertising
agent. He is to pay his own bills. Uncle
Joe is to do the lecturing and pay his own
bills. They are to share results equally.
Uncls Jos sent in his letter two printed
handbills as sample Of the proper style
of advertising.
1t may be said in closing, that this is
simply one more proof of the truth of
the statement, "Cast your bread upon
the waters, etc."
