The Furniture Was on "Big Four" Cur
Roaay for Shipment, But the Owner
Had to Pay the Claim Before 1t Was
Released.
County Constable Reardon Thursday
attached four wagon loads of furniture
belonging to Joseph II. Barrett, formerly
residing near Newport, under u claim
Of DIR. |. NJ. Finn for $3.50. Suisse
quently Thomas ID. Lyman put in a
claim for $3.50, for money due on three
promissory notes, and tho attachment
was given TO Constable Wndish, who
served it and secured 5000 of the money.
The property was seized under the alb.
sconding debtors act, and the attach
ment WAS made at the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad station, foot of Market street
The furniture had been placed in one of
the "big four" cars for shipment to a
point in Indiana.
Early Thursday morning DR.. Finn
entered the office of Justice John A.
Kelly and made affidavit that one Joseph
X. Barrett was about to abscond, and
Justice Kelly was asked to issue writ
OF foreign attachment. Dr. Films claim
was for medical attendance and services
rendered. The attachment was placed in
the hands OF Constable Reardon, who
Immediately departed for Barrett's
home, near Newport. He had not gone
far from Wilmington when he saw four
wagons, loaded with furniture, being
driven in the pike. When the last wagon
had reached a point opposite his car
riage, the constable leaned out and
asked the driver where he was taking
the furniture. The man said it was going
TO The Baltimore Il Ohio station, foot of
Market street. The constable said no
more, but put the whip to his horse and
drove on. Then he took circuitous
route and came back to Wilmington.
AS soon as he discovered that the fur
niture had been loaded on the car of the
q. q. Q. & St. l.. (Big Four railroad, he
went to the manifest clerk of the b. &
o. freight office, and attached all the
furniture. When Barrett learned that
the furniture had been attached; he was
furious. He presented what purported
to be bill of sale, contending that he
had sold the property to a man in In
diana, and that it was being shipped
there according to the purchasers orders.
But the constable was obdurate. He
said the furniture could not 20 until the
claim was settled. The car was TO be
shipped at o o'clock in the evening.
How much is the claim" asked
Barrett. The constable gave him the
desired information.
us there any other claim against
me ~ inquired Barrett.
81 have no other claim against YOU"
said Constable Reardon. The constable
was truthful in making this statement.
1t was Justice Kelly who had the other
claim.
well, I'll pay you $3.50 to settle it,"
said Barrett The constable took the
money and released the goods.
lie has scarcely left the railroad sta
ton when Constable Windish arrived
with another altachmenton Mr.Lynam's
claim for 1856. Barrett was over
whelmed when this attachment arrived.
There was nothing left for him to do
but to settle the claim for 5000, making
$3.50 in all Then the car of furniture
and the owner were allowed to con-
tinre their western journey.

COMPULSORY En- uO4rIoS.
MIR. II. FiGke ConciSely Presents Some
Arguments in Favor of the System


Arguments in Favor of the system.
Editor Gazette d; journal, No country that
ever introduced compulsory school educa-
lion, has abolished it. Comp edu-
cation reaches those classes that produce
criminals. Ignorance breeds crime. No
child, white or black, should grow up in
this State without an education. II is
cheaper 10 pay teachers than policemen;
schools are cheaper than courts and pene-
tentiaries. Compulsory school education
deprives the manufacturer of the oppor.
tnnity to employ children on account of
their cheapness. School education imparts
moral, responsible feeling that will pre-
vent females from becoming degraded
These are my reasons for being in favor of
compulsory education.
The writer of these lines was sent to a
German school more than 40 years ago.
Had his parents not attended to this duGv,
the State would have attended to it. Such
a law we need in this state. and, once in
truduced, it will never be abolished.
Juvenile criminals will decrease in num-
her and the prison accommodations need
not be enlarged.

NOT PROPERLY IYDEyED.

But the Records show That the Com

During the trial of the alleged HAYWARD
embe1llcment case in the office of Justice
Kelly Saturday afternoon, LAWYER Peter
L. Cooper, lr,, called Deputy Recorder of
Deeds Edward A, Reed, who testified that
the index OF corporations in the recorders
oilice showed that the Commonwealth
Beneficial Secretly was recorded there. and
not heComm0nwealth beneficial Associa-
tion. This led some to believe that the
association Of which Hayward was
formerly manager was not recorded. 1t
so appeared at the trial.
Thursday afternoon an examination at
the recorders office showed that the con-
tcrn was indeNei as the Commonwealth
Beneficial "Sucety" and recorded on the
books as the Commonwealth Beneficial

All the Members of u Family Year Bridge
willie Have an Exceedingly Narrow
Escape From Death.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
BRIDGEvILLE, Feb. 2S.-The entire
family of Mrs, Lima Taylor, living here
were almost asphyxated in rather A
peculiar manner. Mrs. Taylor's Youngest
daughter has an attack OF pneumonia and
q charcoal tire was built in the room TO
heat it. The charcoal was placed in large
iron pot which sat in the centre of the
room. The burning charcoal emitted A
gas, completely filling the room. Tuesday
night the entire family. consisting Of
mother, two daughters, two sons AMI Mrs
Mary Gray, were in the room. The sick
girl late at night was the first to be af-
fected by the gas and became unconscious
the family thinking it was worse turn in
the disease. Then Mrs. Taylor fell from
her chair, having become asphy and
was placed in bed. The Older daughter
fell headlOng for some unknown reason,
and went TO another room to retire, lcav-
ing her sick sister, two brothers and Mrs.
Gray in the room with the charcoal fire.
The two boys soon began to feel the
effects of the gas aud likewise went to
bed, but as they did they luckily did not
close the door as they went out, which
gave the gas chance to spread over tho
entire house instead of combining it to the
one small room.
Mrs Gray remained in the room until
morning when she was removed to another
room.
Those who were not unconscious felt
that something was wrong, but knew not
what. Each person affected became
drowSv aud soon was unconscious.
DIR. l.. NJ. Cahall was summoned early
yesterday morning, and us soon as he
entered and saw the charcoal fire he knew
the trouble. The fire was removed and
the house completely aired. Mrs. Taylor
and one daughter are yet in bed, though
recovering. The sick daughter was dam
gerously i'll of pneumonia and the gas that
filled the room has greatly aggravated that
disease.

Residents Of Isranayvine Hundred Take
Up the Matter Of Proposed Legislation.
The proposed legislation concerning the
borrowing of money for the Improvement
OF roads in Rrandywine hundred is occu-
pving the attention Of farmers living in
the upper eud of New Castle county. The
matter is the sole talk OF the taxpayers of
the hundred and has aroused them TO
action.
The farmers have arrayed themselves
for and against the bill Those in favor
Of its passage argue that the enhancement
of values on realty by vftne of having
better roads will amply repay the residents
for what little additional tax will be made
necessary in consequence o! loan being
negotiated.
The opponents to the measure claim
that the increased taxation will be very
heavy burden.
Advocates for the measure have made
an active canvas of the county and have
enlisted a great deal OF sympathy and now
those who do not favor 1t have set abeut
scouting slgners To a paper IN their behalf,
The bill seems 10 have more friends .han

Some extensive improvements arc being
made in the buildings at Stoeckle's Dia-

be given an additional producing and
storage capacity, which the increasing
business demands. The alterations will
require quite large expenditure of
money.
The most important item of expense is
the tearing out of some wooden floors aud
the substitution of iron and cement floors.
rms work is being done in the brewing

so much stronger than the old ones that
they will hold the heaviest tanks that are
used in the business.
The work is well under way and will be
