LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE.


Stan Correspondence Evening Journal
Dover, May Ex-senator Fenimoro
reported the bill authorizing the Levy
Court, OF New Castle county, to borrow
$150,000 and fund the floating debt.
Mr.. Alrlchs said that he hoped the
bill would not become a law. II the
Levy Court had contracted a debt OF
s150000 in addition to the taxes levied
they had violated the law.
Mr.. Pyle declared that the Levy
Court was incompetent, and nothing
but training in the hard school of ad-
yersity would bring them to their
senses. The county is on the verge OF
bankruptcy. IL was a source of pro.
found regret. Perhaps when they can
. no longer prey upon the credit of the
/. county they will go to work and col
s lect the taxes. They say II is the fault
of errors, but if this goes on they will
all be errors and everything will be
swept away. They have assumed GER
) tain duties and they should discharge
them. The taxes have not been collect
ed. They have proved themselves
wholly inadequate to the task He de-
clared that he would vote against the
bill.
Mr.. Handy said the commissioners
had spent money broadcast over the
rcounty 1t was not any political party

Mr. Pyle, said he made no charges
against the commissioners. He said h,
could name one who had overdrawI
his district account $4,000. He sup
posedsit was to make his constituent
say he was agood, clever fellow. Th'
time of good, clever fellows has goni
by. They must settle right down 1,
business and meet it.
On motion of Mr.. Handy the bill wa
recommitted until such time as ma
jority of the New Castle member
should see fit TO calliit up.

VICTIMS OF A STORM.
Disaster Resulting From
an Electric Storm.

New Rocky, Aug. News
reached here of a terrible disaster
resulting from the electric storm
Thursday night. The home of a
farmer named Bostwin,.. who lived
in the neighborhood of Gribbs
cross roads in Tennessee, were
struck by lightning some time
after midnight. The house was
burned and Bostwin, his wife and
grown daughter were cremated.
Bostwin's son, a lad of 10 years,
and white farm hand escaped
from the house by jumping from
a window of the second story and
ran to the Cumberland river and
in trying to swim the
stream they were either drowned
or lost as nothing has been heard
from either of them.
