WOMEN ACT IN BAD TASTE.
ATTEMPT TO FIGHT TELEPHONE
LINE WORKMEN FROM DIGGING
NEAR THEIR HOMES.


Women are taking hand in max
ing the labors OF the 300 telephone con-
quit Workingmen more unpleasant and
annoying as they pick and dig away
through the streets Of Wilmington.
First, the workmen Of the Delmarvia
Telephone Company encountered trou-
Bile while erecting poles along West
Third street, and but for the presence
OF squad OF policemen there would
have been a fight.
The residents on Third street object
ed to the workmen placing poles in
'front.' OF their houses. At the corner OF
Third and Adams, and at Third street
near Adams, where holes had been dug,
women who lived in houses in front OF
which the holes had been dug got down
into the excavations and refused to al
low the workmen to continue.
Sergeants Black and Massey, with a
squad OF officers, were sent to the
scene. When they arrived Superinter-
dent Scott was surrounded by an
angry crowd OF women, who threatened
to throw him headforemost into the
holes his men had dug. The officers
quieted this disturbance and pulled
two women from the holes, after which
AA' 0Vlh Mthl Ol
and Monroe streets was reached.
AT this point Patrick McGinnis keeps
saloon, and when the men marked
the site for the pole he stood on the
spot and refused to move He dared
superintendent Scott or any OF his men
to touch him. McGinnis was surround
ed by his friends, and they assumed a
very threatening attitude toward the
worl1men. Sergeant Black and a squad
OF officers broke through the crowd and
arrested McGinnis.
He was sent to the City Hall, where
a charge Of disorderly conduct was pre-
ferred against him. McGinnis gave
bail and was released, after which he
consulted his attorney, Lewis c. Vande-
| grift, In regards to taking injunction
proceedings to compel the company tc
remove the pole.

TO HAVE MORE POLICE
WILL BE NO INCREASE IN THE CITY
RAx RATE AT PRESENT.
SEVEN PATROLMEN AND TWO
MORE SERGEANTS ADDED TO
THE POLICE FoRCE-REPORTs
OF THE VARIOUS COMMITTEES.

There will be no increase in taxes.
So decided the city fathers at their
regular meeting last night. On motion
of Mr.. McNulty the tax rate was fixed
at 81 for city purposes, and 40 Genus
for school purposes, which is the rate
at present.
The Finance Committee made this
statement: Aggregate appropriations.
1886, ,S72.51; revenues, $7S,9O0; to be
raised by taxation, S517, ,972.5l;
amount of city assessment, SS9, 100, ,237;
with the tax at 81 on the 800 will
yield 1891, ,902.37, and the assessment
for school purposes, $39, 1914, ,259, with
the tax at 40 cents on S100 will yield
$157, ,257.05; errors and rebates, $780,
600.
The Law Committee presented a ia
vorable report on the ordinance fixing
the various appropriations. AS com
pared with last year they show these
changes:
MISUNDERSTANDING fund, s1,4S7,
Board of Education, (current expenses)
6,696.47; Fire Department, $4,000; Po-
lice Department, S1,500; garbage, $67
Decreases-Interest, 1904; incident
ais, S1,650; city election, $4,000; public
/ .

1879. while this year it is increased
SAL .O9S. The school assessment for
last year was S3S,S91, $50, while this
year it is increased $523, ,309.
The payroll of Council and the po-
lice we're ordered paid.
Mr.. Leary presented a resolution
asking that seven new patrolmen and
two sergeants be appointed. The Police
Commission had asked for nine, but
the committee thought seven would b'
sufficient The matter brought about
great deal of discussion from the mi
nority side of Council but it was pass
ed, notwithstanding
Mr.. Meaney offered the two bill:
which were passed by the Legislature
authorizing Council to pay TO th'
Delaware Fire Company $500 a yeal
and not to pay more than the sam'
/ amonnt to fire companies that have NJ
chemical engines. The bills were re
ferred to the Law Committee.
l. A bill appropriating $4,000 TO
dredging the Christiana river was als'
passed. It is now thought that th
passing Of the bill will insure the gov
ernment appropriation of $4,000 TO
lharbor improvements.

ments does not affect city bonds, whicl
are exempted from all taxation. H

A Queer Industry.


Snail farming forms a peculiar branch of
agricultural industry in France and other
countries. and the consumption of them in
France Is very large. Edible snails vary
greatly in size; the large white ones are
the real escargot, but this term is usually
employed to designate all edible snails
adapted to table purposes. But in the
markets. besides escargot, there are two
other varieties, known as limace and lima
can, the former being Of medium size and
The latter quite small. Though the great
majority of the edible snails produced in
France are of natural growth their artifi-
cial culture is carried on to a very con-
siderable extent. They are propagated from
August to October in ground especially pre-
pared for the purpose. and fed with cab
hase, clover etc.
During the winter they are sheltered in
houses composed of brick or wood. and they
are gathered and marketed from April to
June. In the Tyrol from June to the mid
dle of August the snails are collected from
every available damp place and taken to
ing. This is a bit of garden ground free
from trees and shrubs and surrounded on
all sides by running water. In this feeding
ground are little heaps of mountain pine
wigs. mixed loosely with wood moss. and
these twigs when dry are replaced by fresh
ones. Every day they are fed on cabbage
leaves and grass, and when cold weather
sets in they go under cover, that is, they
collect under the heaps of twigs and bury
for the winter. When this has been sue
cessfully accomplished they are collected.
packed in perforated boxes lined with straw
and sent of to Paris and other towns.
