IS THE ORDINANCE ILLEGAL ?
Question Raised whether the City Coun-
oil Gan Impose Tax on Auotioneers
aud Restrict Licenses 60 Residents.

Question Raised Whether tho CITY Coun-
oil Gan Impose Tax on Auotioneers
and Restrict Licenses TO Residents.
On January 2S. 1892. City Council
passed an ordinance entitled IAN ordi
nance to regulate auctions and auction
GERS" The first section reads: That
any bona fde resident Of the city Of
Wilmington may apply TO the clerk Of
Council for license authorizing him to
sell at public auction anywhere
within the corporate limits OF the
city every species Of property,
and upe0 the payment by him Of the
sum Of $3.50 TO the city auditor for the
use OF the city. IL shall be the duty OF
the said clerk and president Of the Ooun.
Gil to Issue TO the person 30 Supplying a
proper license there fore, under the hand
Of the said preside, aud attested by the
said clerk, 90 continue In force for one
year from the date thereof, which said
license may be annually renewed In like
manper upon the payment OF the sum
aforesaid
The ordinance limits the auoioneer 70
enc assistant and one auction room, and
preserlbes penalty OF $50 for each and
every offence, fixes his fees, etc This
ordinance took the place Of one passed
November l3, 1856, aud whicb.also limited
the applications 10 residents Of the CITY.
and fixes the license at $3.50 a year.
During forty years the constitutlonality
Of this ordinance has never been cues .
TONED and the licenFe has been paid
without a murmur. except AS 90 the
amount OF license which has frequently
been denounced as an outrage
A few days ago George w Drake, who
has an auction store Rt No. East Fourth
street, was taken before the Municipal
Court on a charge Of violating the ordl
nance Ia selling without license. he
was represented by Walter a. Hayes.
who set up fight on the grounds that
the ordinance was unconstitutional In
the hrst place, because II dlscrlminates In
favor OF residents OF Wilmington.
whereas the constitution OF the United
States expressly provides against any
such discrimination Secondly, that the
amount fixed for the license makes II a
tax, aud the Council has not the power
to levy tax.
This morning the case was called before
Judge Ball City Solicitor Harman at
once moved It's dismissal stating that
this was due TO an error Of the city aud
that no costs should fall on the de.
fendant.
In case the ordinances should be decided
to be unconstitutional II is probable that
numerous suits against the city for the
recovery Of sums paid during the past
forty years for licenses will be brought

The Cause Was Diphtheria Contract ed
while Following His Profession-WeII
Known In Medical Circles.
There are heroes in private as we'll as
public life and not all the names re-
corded In the list OF those who have died
that their fellowmen might be benefited,
have laid down their lives on the battle
field, or under the eyes OF syn pathizlng
and applauding public Nor are all the
heroes recorded on those lists. There are
many noble men and true heroes, who
risk their health, perhaps lose their
lives, for principal, the advancement Of
their profession, or the saving Of life, the
history of whose brave deeds are buried
with them, but they are none the less
heroes than those whose names have been
sung In story or emblazoned on the
pages Of history.
To this list an addition WAS made.
when shortly before midnight last night
DR.. George NJ. Dosne laid down the
burdens of this world and passed into
rest.
The cause OF death was dphtheria,
taken from a patient whose life he was
trying to save. and whom he was attend
ing, despite the fact that he WAS him
belI unWeli, anu therefore, q NJ SUI blecb
for the disease. He was confined to his
home since Sunday only, and Dr. John
W. Mullin was his attendant physician.
The news OF his death and the circum
stances attending It were received with
ssdness by all who knew him, and
especially by the members OF the medi
cal profession, by whom he was highly
respected.
DR.. Doane WAS SO years of age and
was a native of BlrDstable, Mass. He
studied medicine at Hahnemann College
in Philadelphia, graduating iI 1890
After prscting for eighteen months in
Whitemsr. Mass no removed in De-
cenber, 1891, to this city. In 1892 he
was married, He was membsr Of the
staff Of the Hon e e3pathic Hospital
and Of the faculty Of the training
school attached to that institution, aud
also Of the Hon opathic State Medical
Society He was also a member Of
Temple Lodge No IL, A f A NJ. Aside
