PRO AND CON-RESULT OF THE
EWING JURY'S DELIBERATION.
CASE TO BE TAKEN UP AGAIN
ON TUESDAY.
The Ewing jury in the $3.50 600 dam
age suit against Mayor and Council
was discharged by the Superior Court
last evening, after having been locked
up since Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock, and failed to come to an agree
ment.
According to all accounts, the jury
stood II to ] for light damages. City
Councilman Francis Pagan. Of New
Castle. held out for the defendant on
the ground that the city did not have
constructive notice of the defective gut
ter plate, and that when Mrs. Ewing
failed to call in physician for three
months after her accident, the risk was
hers.
All the jurors lived out of town, and
as many were accustomed to being out
in the open air the confinement for
three days and two nights proved a
serious matter. Juror Lee, of Middle
town, became i'll and could scarcely get
away AloAi AAlt NONlL lOOui diltI lnt
jury was discharged.
1t is alleged that Lilburn Chandler
and William S. Hilles will do their best
10 bring the case TO trial again at this
term Of court The city's counsel-City
Solicitor Harman Horace G.. Knowles
and George A. Elliott-will probably
fight this OFF, and may compel the
plaintiff to give security for all the
court costs. If Mr. and Mrs. Ewing
cannot do this, then they have lost all
hope Of recovering from the city treas
ury for the unfortunate accident that
has made Mrs. Ewing a cripple for life

on the Delaware commission appointed
Mr.. Farra to make the survey in behalf

that he was a Delawarean by birth anC
not by adoption.

to Wilmington. He married a young
woman from New Castle. He was APP

dents Hardy and Rushton. of the Vir-

the Baltimore plan" for national

ed by the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION two years ago. The resolu
tons were explained by Mr.. Homer,
who said: II am delegated by our
clearing house association to state that
the resolution, which l am about to
offer. conveys to you its attitude upon
the currency question, as unanimously
expressed at a recent meeting: Re-
solved that we are unalterably oppos-
ed to the free coinage of silver and to
every debasement of our currency, in
whatsoever form it may be presented;
that we firmly and honestly believe
that the true interests of our country
will be best served by its rigid adher-
ence to the gold standard of value, the
continuance of which will not only pre-
serve its financial integrity and the fu-
ture welfare of its citizens, from the
wage Garner to the capitalist, but will
insure, through the prompt restoration
of confidence, that rapid development
of its resources, which will eventually
place it first among the commercial ma
tons of the EARTH" Comptroller
Eckels commended the resolutions in
an address to which every banker paid
the closest possible attention.
