| corporation, who may join herein,
brings this, his bill of complaint
against the Bay State Gas Company, a
corporation created by and organized
and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware, and a resident and
citizen OF said state and district. And
thereupon your orator complains and
says in part
/. That a subpoena may issue out of
this honorable court, directed to said
bfendant Bay State Gas Company, re-
curing and commanding it to appear
in this cause upon a day certain and
answer the several allegations in this
bill of complaint contained, an an
swer under oath being hereby expressly
4 waived
2. That it may be adjudged and de-
creed by the honorable court that the
said defendant was, at and before the
time of the filing of this I4A Of COM
plant, and now is insolvent
3. That the same defendant, Bay
State Gas Company, may be compelled
to render a full, true and perfect ac-
count under the direction of this hon
orable court of all money, assets and

since the date of its incorporation to
the present time exclusive, and of the
income thereon, together with all pay
ments and all disposition made by il
of its money, assets and property OF
every nature and description, since
said date.
The paper goes on to show why re-
ceivers should be appointed for the
purposesof recovering for the creditors
so far as possible, all documents
books, papers, obligations, records, ac-
counts, belonging to said company.
The injunction restrains the officers
and directors from further business

game between the Roman Catholic
High School, of Philadelphia, and The
Wilmington High School, at the River

Though both teams played hard and
there were a number OF brilliant indi-

EVENING JOURNAL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER Is, 1896.

He is their political enemy, and not
their friend. His interests have al
ways been tied up with those of the
most pronounced regular Republicans.
There is standing reward for any man
who will swear that he ever heard Ret
tew say good word for Addicks, or
Addicksism, before his endorsement, or
who has heard him open his mouth on
the subject since the Addicks people
decided not to nominate a candidate in
not because he has experienced a
change OF heart. He is the same
staunch supporter of ex-Chairman
Bach and his local policy that he has
ever been; but he wants the office, regu-
lar Republicans want him to have it,
and they have told him that the best
way to get It is to keep his mouth shut
and tolerate Addicks' support. There
is a deep-seated suspicion that the Ad-
dicks people are aware of this, and
that now, seeing that the regulars are
determined to defeat the Addicks candi-
dates wherever they can do so, have
decided that they might just as well
turn In and quietly defeat Rettew on
general principles.
George d. Kelley, the regular Repub-
lican candidate for county comptroller,
and William r. Finn, the regular
nominee for sheriff, have played their
cards so cutely that they are assured
of full support from both sides, and
this renders the candidacy Of John
Boughman and James b. Toman, Demo-
cratic nominees for comptroller and
sheriff respectively, anything but a
walk-over, although they have splen-
did chance Of winning. The same may
be said Of the Democratic nominee for
coroner
There are but few crumbs OF comfort
in the situation for either regular Re
publicans or Addicksites, but when it is
all over the regulars wiz have the sat
isfaction OF knowing that they have
broken the back of the golden serpent,
who has invaded their Eden and pros
tituted their party for his own personal
purposes.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
SPANISH NERVE AND INCAPACITY

SPANISH NERVE AND INCAPACITY
Europe presents no spectacle more
extraordinary than the contrast be-
tween the nerve of the Spanish people
and their incapacity in action. For
eighteen months they have endeavored
20 reconquer a revolted colony 1900
miles away, and have in the effort used
and consumed resources such as it was
hardly believed outside of Spain that
they could have called up even to re-
sist invasion.
They have actually forwarded to
Cuba 10000 regular troops, sufficient
ly eQuipped-a force nearly three times
as great as that with which this coun-
try met and quelled the Indian mutiny
OF 1857, and more than three times as
great as the White garrison which
holds the Indian empire. The army,
sufficient, one would think, for a de-
fensive war against France, accom-
plished nothing, but the Spanish states
men lose neither heart nor hope. They
are wholly uncheered by victory they
know their soldiers die like flies, and
they are told every week that the rich
island is becoming a desert, that three
fourths Of it are going out Of cultiva-
/ ton; that the settlers are quitting in
| thousands, while those left behind are
! joining the insurgents; that the whole
expenses of the island must be borne
for years by Spain, and that every
month increases the chance that the
American republic. with its limitless
resources for war. will intervene; and
still, with a tenacity which English
men cannot but admire, they refuse tc
relax their hold. Be the results what
they may. they will make no terms un-
til the rebels have submitted uncon-
ditionally.
The fissure between parties in Spair
is deeper than a political fissure evel
was in this country, but upon this sub
ject the parties act together, scarcel,

MAJOR AND HIS MINns

What do Delawareans care about the
protests Of the Board Of Directors of
the Philadelphia Maritime Exchange?
When Philadelphia is to benefited at
Delaware's expense it is quite natural
that the Philadelphians should line
themselves up behind Major Raymond
and his mud-dumping project. Major
Raymond dare not deny that jetty
building is tentative and experimental
He admitted as much before the con-
gressional committee at Washington,
and for him to deny it now would be to
contradict his own testimony. He erred
in building Firms Point jetty, and now
he would fill up deeper channel to
the west of it in order that one OF his
pet projects may benefit at the expense
of the riparian rights and advantages
of Delawareans. Mud dredged from
the Delaware should be placed above
high water mark, and not be used for
stopping up the rivers channels. If the
major continues to dig holes and build
shoals there will be no end to the navi-
gators troubles in the Delaware, and
the major will be remembered longer
for the shoals than for the holes. He is
a disciple Of the school of how not to
do it, and a credit to the institution

Levy Court commissioners, and endors-
ed William j. Pennewill, of Gumboro
hundred, and +. w. Fooks, of Little
| Creek hundred, the Union Republican
nominees. The withdrawal of Messrs
AXE and King is a desperate effort on
the part Of the Republicans to secure
| conrtol of the Levy Court, which is an
important political body in Sussex
county. Since the court is composed OF
thirteen persons, and the six hOld-oveT
! members are Republicans, the election
OF either Pennewill or Mr.. Fooks
would give the Republicans a majority
in that body.

Sparf Can't Get n Shin

Herman Sparf, who was once
convicted OF the murder OF Mate
Fitzgerald of the bark Hesper, for
whose death ST. Clair and Hansen
were hanged at San Quentin about
a month ago, has attempted to re-
turn TO seafaring life. but sailors
who know him will not ship with
him. He was one OF the crew of
the British ship East African,
which was to have sailed from San
Francisco recently. The men dis
covered the identity of Sparf and
told the captain that he must be
sent ashore. Some of the men
wanted to throw the sailor over
board, as it has been rumored on
board ship that Sparf had attempt
ed the life of the second mate of
the American bark W. G. Davis.

kAMAUNU To HANG.
Two Hawaiians Arrested for Kill.
ing an Old Woman.

Kamaunu and Liloi found them
selves far away from Hawaii, where
they were born, and they had Just
been paid off for cutting wood in
FL Dorado county. They drank
wine and Kamaunu bought a
chicken OF an old woman.
She must have money" he
said to his comrade Liloi, for
when gave her gold she went into
the house and brought out plenty
OF money to change it."
At night the Kanakas slept in
their cabin and about midnight
Liloi was awakened by knocking
at the door. 1t was Kamaunu,
who had gone out. Him he say
he taxa a walka that night" Liloi
testified at Kamaunu's trial, "and
he talka with me. He say he killa
that old woman and he lose pistol
he talka lose revolver very bad."
When the old woman was found
dead the two Hawaiians were ar
rested. but Liloi testified against
his comrade and was released.
kamaunu was convicted of muir
der in the first degree and was
sentenced to be hanged. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court on
the ground that his confession to
Liloi had been improperly admit
ted as evidence, but the Supreme
Court decided that the confession
was voluntary and therefore adj
because, as Liloi did not
know OF the murder until told by
kamaunu, he could not have offered
Kamaunu any inducement to con-
Tess. So the kanaka will hang

held on Sunday at Kawaiahao
church, it being the first celebra-

opening of that place of worship in
November last. The pastor, Rev.
II. Parker, baptized seventeen in
fants and five adults; while twenty
persons were admitted to member
ship, two OF the latter having re-
turned TO the church after q sus-
pension OF ten years. There has
been more religious interest shown
of late among the native Hawaiians
than for several years; and it is
hoped that it may result in the
reclamation OF many who have be-
come Indifferent to their religious
education and profession.

REVENUE ON IMPORTS.
Present Tariff Law Repealed and
Mckinley Duties Again Imposed.
sugar Duties 10 Eemaiu Unchanged.
Bond Bill Passes Houso-Nenezuela
ouestion-Consumpt of Sugar.

Williams, Dimond Il Co.'S trade
circular from San Francisco, under
date December 2Sth, says: The
financial situation in this country
has reached such a state that it has
been found necessary to take I'M
mediate steps to replenish the gold
reserve and supply further funds
for the current expenses of the
government. 1t is proposed TO
make a new bond issue, and, as a
temporary relief, raise the existing
revenues on importations, and yes
terday a bill was passed by the
House of Representatives which
repeats the present tariff until
August /, 1898, and restores 60 per
cent. of the Mckinley rates on
wool, wooden, lumber and carpets,
and makes a horizontal increase OF
Is per cent. of the present rates in
all other schedules except sugar.
The Bond Bill will probably De
passed today, and it remains to be
seen what action the Senate will
take in regard to these measures,
but, no doubt, they will pass some
such relief bill.
The sugar producers of the coun-
try have already protested against
the action of the Ways and Means
Committee in excluding this i'm
portant article for revenue, and
not offering this large industry the
same protection as others. An
additional duty of Is per cent. on
raw and refined sugars would help
our beet sugar producers without
benefiting the Trust, who must
purchase its raw material abroad.
This would offer the same protec-
ton to island sugars. 1t seems,
however, from present indications,
that either through ignorance of
the true situation, or fearing that
the Trust would be benefited, the
sugar duties will remain I'M
changed.
The recent excitement caused by
the attitude of the United States
toward England over the Venezu-
elan boundary line, has somewhat
and we think the con-
people of both govern
ments do not now fear open hosti-
lities between the two countries,
but expect the matter will be salts
factorily settled through diplom-
acy.
Messrs, Willett & Gray estimate
the entire consumption OF sugar in
the United States for 1895, both
foreign and domestic, at 1915, 406
.ons, against 2,012,729 tons in 1894,
which is a decrease of 81, 1928 tons
instead OF 5 per cent. increase.
This decrease is supposed to be
,wing to the duty and TO the pow
.rty OF great portion of the peo-
DE.
