ed in Gainesville, and will give employ
ment TO many men.
Since Jan. 10 the supreme court Of the
state has disposed OF seventy cases-a
work that formerly occupied fully six
months. This has been accomplished,
says Chief Justice r. F. Taylor, by rea-
son of the amendments to the constitu-
ton. One of these relieved the members
OF the court from duty on the pardoning
board in the past one whole day of the
courts time each week was required in
hearing and considering appeals for par
dons; another amendment authorizes the
court TO decide without giving full writ
ten opinion in cases wherein the questions
involved were not new or original. Under
this amendment the court only writes
opinions in cases of reversal, in affirmed
cases where the questions are new. and
in all criminal cases, very few of which,
however, are appealed, except where life
or long terms of Imprisonment are involv-
ed, Another reason why business IS being
expedited is new rules, which demand that
the lawyers shall have their transcripts OF
records prepared in such a form as will
require of the court the study of only ma
terial poiGts, and eliminates all inmate
rial matter"

From the New York Sun.


From the New York Sun.
Topeka, Kan, April 6,-The allied free
silver advocates elected to be mayor of
Mankato, Kan, yesterday, ]. B. Rea, a
somewhat noted character. In 1893, at the
town of Perry, few weeks after the
opening of the Cherokee Strip, Rea shot
and instantly killed "Three-fngered
Jack" a noted Desperate, who had ter
rorized the embryo town since the opening
day. Jack had a playful habit of killing
inoffensive men for fun"
Bill Tighlman, the deputy United States
marshal who afterward single-handed cap
tured Bill Doolin, the notorious bandit
was marshal of Perry, and he had notified
Jack that unless he should remain outside
the Perry settlement he would be killed
Among others he deputized John b. Rea,
with authority to arrest Jack on sight,
and to kill him rather than permit him to
Slay more men,. 1sas
One night Jack came out of gamblers
tent, and as he stood In the full glare of
an electric lamp he drew a bead on negro
who stood by another tent, which was full
of sleeping occupants. Rea, from short
distance, saw Jack and fired first and the
desperate fell dead.
Rea is a rich man and owns number
of farms upon which he raised 5000 BUSH
els of corn last year. He is a democrat and
was in the last national convention.

PILFERING SOCIETY DANES.
Hostess Insisted Upon the Right of
Search TO stop "a Bad Practice.


From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
Indianapolis, Ind, April IA social and
literary club, composed of well-known
women, who meet two or three times
month, took measures this afternoon,
when the club met on Senate avenue to
purge itself of suspicion that had dis
tracted some of the members for a year.
Periodically the members in meeting at
their several homes have missed sundry
sums of money, taken from the wraps of
guests. The sums have varied from 50
cents TO s.. Upon the occasion of this
meeting several members decided to mark
the money in their pockets, and endeavor
to discover the thief, and stop the annoy
ance. 1t was found in due time that some
of the money that had been marked with
small pieces of court plaster had been
stolen. The hostess was informed, and she
Immediately took heroic measures. La
dies" she said, addressing the eighteen
or twenty guests, Il think 1t is proper to
relieve myself and the members from the
suspicion that may rest against all of us
until we discover who has been taking
money at the club meetings. l, as hostess,
shall certainly not permit this meeting to
adjourn without taking some steps in the
affair which has just happened, and which
is only repetition of many similar occur
rences."
The hostess deliberately walked to the
door and turned the key. Now, then"
she said, 1--WE will appoint a committee,
who will withdraw with each guest, one
by one, to make a search"
The plan was assented to, and with
many tears and signs the investigation be-
gan. Custom house methods were pursu-
ed. The investigation occupied larger
part of the afternoon. Every member
was subjected to the search, but none of
the money was found

II attracted large crowds of people. On
one OF these occasions Hachaliah Bailey,
then wealthy farmer Of this place, saw
the animal. He became interested in II,
ana succeeded In purchasing a half inter-

up farming and travelled all over the
United States and Canada, exhibiting the
animal to thousands of people and accu-
mulating considerable money.
other importations of animals soon fol-
lowed, but subsequently the small com
panies became absorbed In one great tray
cling menagerie.
In 1891, while the show was exhibiting in
q small town in Maine, the elephant got
loose, and the audience became greatly ex-
cited. Some threatened TO shoot the man
ayers, but instead they shot "Old Bet"
This practically ended the circus career
OF old Hachaliah Bailey, the first show
man OF America" According to the old
est resident OF Somers, he returned to his
native place, but felt his loss so keenlv
that he never was the same man AGAIN.
The following year he had plans prepared
for an image OF "Old Bet" to be erected
on the village green. Il was some time
however, before the monument was com
pleted.

This Image Is about 4 feet high by In

AZ first II was gilded but now II presents
more natural appearance, being covered
with coat OF mouse-colored paint. In the

SHAKERS AND DOCTORS
TALK TOGETHER.

In his able work entitled Longevity"
published few years ago, DR.. John Gard
ner OF England predicts that a vegetable
agent will yet be found that shall so re-.
tard those changes that bring about old
age as to prolong human life much be-
yond its present limit.
Acting, perhaps. upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought many eminent phv-
sicians have called from time TO time upon
the Shakers Of Mt. Lebanon to inquire OF
them concerning the secrets OF medicinal
plants. In Vaich these sincere. sinple-
minded and ,i-d-fearing people are known
to be wise and skillful beyond all other
men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and IN return received from
their visitors much valuable Information
about disease; which they at once made
practical use OF. The most important
point was that IL a genuine and certain
remedy could be found for Indigestion
and dyspepsia, and the ailments CROWNS

the right direction. Old age. said these
physicians, begins ia a failure OF the al
gestion, and 50 do most diseases al any

consultations was the discovery nv the

THE FEBRUARY TERM TRIALS.
LISTS DISTRIBUTED TO-DAY BY
PROTHONOTARY - FIVE SUITS
AGAINST THE CITY.

The new Superior Court trial list,
which has just been issued by Pro-
thonotary Woolley, contains several
new cases which may come up for ad-
judication at the February term The
same panel Of jurors will serve at the
coming term. Considering the hustling
qualifications of some sixty lawyers in
active practice in the New Castle
county bar, the trial list for February
shows by its brevity that there is a de-
crease Of "neighbors going to law with
neighbors"
Much of the decrease in cases, how
ever, is the direct result of the courts
vigorous wedding out process, whereby
all cases are now heard, settled or dis
continued at the first term in which
they are at issue.
On tho new trial list there are FIVE
suits slated against the Mayor and
Council Of Wilmington. In each case
the city will be represented by City
Solicitor Harman and Horace G.
Knowles. The plaintiffs in the FIVE suits
are: w. r. Seward, ct AL, represented
by Levi G. Bird; Carrie Owen, repre-
sented by William S. Hilles; George
w Pierce, by Peter l.. Cooper, Jr. Ben
jamin r. Hopkins. by Josiah Marvel;
b. f. Hopkins, by Josiah Marvel
There are two suits against John Ed
ward Addicks, by Frank Torrey and
Jonathan l.. Dougherty, and in each
George Lodge represents Mr. Addicks.
There are four suits against the Will
mington City Railway Company.

FIGHT OYER JAIL LIGHT.
NEW TROLLEY COMPANY PRO
POSAL FOR ARC LIGHTING HELD
UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON.

Levy Court Commissioners White,
Mealey and Gallagher to-day realized
that Shey have a very knotty question
on hand to decide. 1t is the question
of whether New Castle Jail shall be
lighted by electricity or gas.
The proposals, which were held over
from yesterday morning in Levy Court
have been referred to them to consider
and report upon at next meeting.
The Wilmington and New Castle
Electric Railway Company offers to
light the prison with arc lights and as
many incandeseent lights as shall be
necessary in the offices and house
rooms for 81 200 per year. 1t will be
remembered that gas has cost the
county from 1920 to Sl,S00 a year
since 1873.
The New Castle Gas Company agrees
to light the prison with Welsbach gas
lamps for $1,000. The question to de-
eide, therefore, is which will be cheaper
in the long run, arc lights or Welsbach
lights?
Treasurer c. P. King appeared be-
fore the committee and argued that
Welsbach or any other kind of gas
lights are no comparison to arc light
pany, stated that with the burners the
company proposed to place in Jail for
the $1,000 specified would make the
place as light as day.
The gas company has been lighting
the Jail since 1873 for an average OF
$1,259 year. The rate was recently re-
duced, but more jets were placed in at
the solicitation Of the sheriff. Now
the electric railway company wants to
light the institution inside and out twith
arc lights, and it is said, for practically
the same money.
Superintendent l. w. Miller was al
the Court House looking after the in.
terests Of the electric railway company
but President James G. Shaw, of The
New Castle Gas Company, was noi
present and Mr.. White asked leave Il
postpone the award til O'Clock in the
afternoon. at which time Mr. Shaw
could be present. The proposals were
therefore, not opened.
