LOTS OF TINE TO APPOINT.
LEVY COURT CANNOT AGREE ON
WILMINGTON oONSTABLES AND
REFUSES TO RUSH.


Levy Court held an important meet
ing to-day, the first April business hav-
ing come up for disposition. The
court, however, did nothing in regard
to the appointment of two Wilmington
constables to succeed Alfred S. Hurlock
and Henry r. Smith, whose terms have
expired.
1t was reported that II the Levy Court
did not agree upon the constables to-
day, the governor would have to ap-
point This is a wrong impression, as
the court only has three required meet
ings in the year-February. March and
October--and the March meeting will
not be adjourned, but simply parted by
intermissions, and the appointment OF
the constables can go by default until
ten days before the October meeting
Chairman Scott said to-day that he
saw no prospect of the court agreeing
on cOnstables.
Charles W. Jones, of Blackbird hun
dred. resigned as constable Of his hun
dred on the ground of business incom-
patiblity. Levy Court accepted the
resignation. COurtland +. Crockett was
appointed to the vacancy, and Mr..
Crockett and Richard Ferguson were
approved as his bondsmen.
Daniel w. Cush was reappointed to
be constable of Red Lion hundred. and
his bondsmen, Elias Cush and John b.
LeFevre, were approved by resolution
of the court.
Residents and taxpayers OF Christi
ana hundred petitioned the court to
culvert and bridge Hillside mill-dam,
on the road leading to Kennett Square.
The petition was accepted, and COM
mittee was appointed.

Henry c. Conrad's chances for the
United States Federal iudgeship. which
have never been bad, are better than
ever to-day. The continued postpone
ment Of this appointment by President
Mckinley when there is such pressing
business in the United States District
Court Of Delaware gives rise to the be-
ief among all the good authorities that
he will appoint neither Mr.. Bradford
nor Mr.. Ward. the ideals Of the two
strong factions of Delaware Repubh-

Mr.. C0nrad's chances, therefore, nave
1een strengthened, not only by the CON

Mckinley. and the contention OF Mr.
Addicks for Conrad my second
