PROMOTION or PURITY.
The Move That Led to the Presentation of
tho Bill Now Pending In tho LegiaIatura.

The Promotion of Purity organiza-
ton, of which Mrs. b. G. Marks is
superintendent, few weeks ago had
commenced to take preliminary steps
Tor the preparation of bill amending
the law on the statute books of the
State known MS the Are of Consent law,
extending tho age of female response.
bility from Is to IL years. They were
constrained to do this by the suggestion
of Chief of Police Dolan, and BY their
own experience with the girls of the
Delaware Industrial School.
The amazement and rejoicing of those
interested in such an amendment was
very great, when few days later, IL
was published in the newspapers that
Representative Pyle had introduced an
act to the House drawn up by we'll
known lawyer of this city, for the better
protection OF female children, and fix.
ing the age OF consent at IS years.
A. day or two after the presentation
oil the Dill Its author received marked
copy OF the January Arena from its
editor, ID. 0. Flower. Mr.. Flower, In
the December Arena, inaugurated a
crusade against vice by the publication
OF a series Of articles on "Wellsprings
and Feeders of immortality" following
somewhat the same plan taken by W.
1. Stead in London few years ago.
a marked copy of the Arena for
January, containing articles ON this
same statute existent In different States,
was sent by Mr.. Flower to each of the
members of the Delaware Legislature.
A careful reading of these papers show
that there is more or less agitation all
over the country, respecting an increase
OF the age of responsibility of female
children, and general feeling that the
age of consent should be made the same
as the legal majority. In only two States
is this so at present--in Wyoming,
where women vote equally with men,
and in Kansas where women vote in
municipal elections.
A visi. to Dover in the interests of the
bill was to have been made last Friday.
Aaron NJ. Powell, editor Of the PhtLd;i.
Mr0ptst intended going in the interests
of the Purity Society Of Wilmington,
accompanied by the originator of the
amendment, and the chief of police.
Mr.. Powell reached Philadelphia where
he was storm-bound. On account of the
blockade of travel nothing further will
be done in the matter for a few DAYS,

A gentleman from down the State
came to Wilmington week Tuesday, and
having business at the Court House
boarded Delaware avenue cur. lie ia
acquainted with Daniel Ross, and knows
that his store is between Second and
Third on Market street. So when he
saw MIR. Ross sign from the cur window
he knew where ne was. The car stopped
before Third street was reached on
account of an accident 10 the trolley
wires, but the passenger from the rural
district did not know that tho chr was
not still going, so deeply was he en-
crossed in newspaper that he was
reading. Presently he looked up from
his paper and again saw Ross sign. He
naturally thought he that he was some
distance from Third and Market, and
inquired Of the conductor II there were
two Daniel ROSES in business here. lie
was informed in the negative and then
Il was that lie realized that the car had
been standing still for several minutes.

Josiah Marvel SECURES His Disn'asat In

Josiah Marvel SECURES lila Disiniasat In
Municipal Court tuesday MorninE.
Samuel Harris, who pleaded bis own
case in the upper court and was ac-
quilted by Jury on the charge Of steal
ing box OF tools from the Diamond
State Iron Co., was up in municipal
court Tuesday on another charge Of
larceny. This time ho was arrested for
stealing tools from the work;nen in the
shops Of tho company, although 1t was
alleged that they were taken tho oatno
time the tools az the company weie
stolen. When Harris was tried In the
upper court some of the workmen EN-
ployed by the Diamond State Iron 90.
testified that 1t YVES the custom OF the
men 10 loan the tools to Harris, who
used them in constructing small YES
sol. The jury decided TINT Harris wos
not guilty and he went free.
Then another warrant was Issued and
Harris was this timo accused OF taking
the tools of three workmen, John j.
Moran, Charles A. Syphcrd and Peter
ID. Griffin, all of whom testified in mu-
nicipal court Tuesday morning.
Josiah Marvel appeared for Harris
and closely cross.oxamined the wit
nesses. City Solicitor Elliott, who APP
peared for the State, was unable to
prove when the tools wero taken and
be failed to establish the fact that any
OF them were found In the possession
of Harris.
George w. Todd was present in the
court room and closely watched tire pro-
ccedings Of the trial. Jacob Lewis, the
foreman of tho shops, was also present
and testified that lie first snw the tools
in the auction rooms of L. w. Stidham
& Son. Constable Windlsh said lie
levied on tho tools along with other
goods and chattels in Harris house for
rent. He remembered that it was
heavy box that he levied on, but did not
know there were tools in the box when
ho first made the distraint. When tho
box was placed III an express wagon no
saw II again. There was no testimony
that the goods were In Harris posses
sion.
After the State had closed its case,
Judge Ball asked the city solicitor what
motion lie proposed to make. The
judge reminded him that he had not
proven when the goods were taken, and
added there had been no evidence to
prove that they had been found In the
possession Of Harris. Mr.. Elliott adj
misted the truth of this, but said the
State had submitted all the evidence 1t
possessed.
Mr.. Marvel asked for the prisoners
discharge and Judge Ball dismissed the
case. Harris went free second time.

The sufferings of Woman Who Lived
Alone in n House Near Augustine Pier.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
MlDDLETowH. Feb. l2.--Word has been
received here OF the terrible experience of
Mrs. Davis, woman who resides alone
in a small, one.story frame house OH tile
road to Augustine Pier, two miles below
McDOnOugh.
Thursday night last the fire in the house
went out, and the woman became be-
numbed and almost frozen, aud was I'M
able 10 even kindle blaze in the stove.
She walked through the snow to the farm
house of John Diehl, 200 yards away, and
when the door was opened in response to
her knocks she fell headlong on the floor
inside. ltrequired some time to bring her
back to CONSCIOUSNESS. She will probably
recover.
Mrs. Davis has lived alone in the house
referred to for many years, and several
cats are her only companions. 1t is stated
that she has relatives in Maryland and
elsewhere who have used every effort to
get her to give up her lonely surroundings
and live with them, but without success.
