THE NEWS OF NEW CASTLE.
MR.. COOPER GIVES REASONS
FOR ADVOCATING AN EXTENSION
OF ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACT
TO THREE YEARS.

OF ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACT
TO THREE YEARS.
Councilman w. W. Cooper intends to
urge in Council an extension of the new
contract for city arc lighting to three
years. Mr.. Cooper advances some de-
cidedly plausible reasons The present
accepted estimate of the Wilmington
and New Castle Railway Company is
to supply twenty-five arc lights for
81, 900 year, for one. three or five
years. Mr.. Cooper declares that $50 a
year for arc lights is cheaper than he
can find anywhere in the Eastern
States, and he feels confident that the
trolley company will raise the ante on
New Castle after the expiration Of a
year. when other methods of lighting
have been done away with and the COM
pany sees that New Castle cannot get
along without the 2,G00-candle power
arc lights which the company agrees to
furnish. Any corporation would be
tempted to take the same advantage.
Now the company throws out the op-
tion 70 accept the same price for three
years, and if we do not grasp the op-
portunity then we certainly lose
money -

A Miracle. A Remarkable Cure of
OrOpsy after Five Years Of Agony,
20 Fonda ST., Williamsport, Pa,
March Z, 1896.
Hobbs Remedy Co., Chicago:

Marcn Z, 1896.
Hobbs Remedy Co., Chicago:
Gentlemen: Some five years ago my
wife, Mrs. Charles II. Hall, now So
years Of age. was taken with dropsy
and heart trouble, growing worse from
month to month. Two years ago she
was so sick that she was compelled to
stop work of every kind. The best ply
sicians in this city were secured, but
she grew worse so rapidly and her
heart so bad, that a year ago they said
nothing more could be done for her, as
death was liable to come at any time.
At this time she measured ten feet
around the waist, and weighed over 300
pounds. Owing to her heart trouble
the doctors would not tap her, only to
keep her from bursting. These opera
tions did no good as they failed to get
a drop of water from her. claiming that
it was in sacks all over her body, and
they couldn't reach il. For four months
she could neither liedown nor walk. The
longest sleep she had during that time
was 25 minutes. The smallest cracker
would distress her so that she could
hardly breathe, yet she dare not take
stimulants. Her suffering was so terri
bic that she prayed day and night for
/ utdl1 " itlltNG utI lIOlu neI mlSeIltS.
Her kidneys did not act more than
one gill in AS hours, and then thick
with brick dust. Her bowels could only
be moved under the most wretched,
powerful cathartics prescribed by the
physician. About this time I saw an ad-
vertisement of DR.. Hobbs Sparagus
Kidney Pills in the Williamsport Sun.
! / determined to try a box. My wife OBJ
jected to my spending any more money
\ on her. as she felt that she was past
all help. However, she began taking
them at once. The fourth day they be-
gan to do their work, when she passed
two gallons of water in "a hours.
then got some of DR.. Hobbs Little Liver
Pills, and they did their work equally
as well. After using eight boxes of DIR
Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills she is re.
duced to her normal weight of about
i45 pounds. She has a good appetite
and is doing her own work. Peopl,
who knew how near she was to deaths
door pronounced her case nothing less
than q miracle
She is certainly living monument tg
the inestimable worth of DR.. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills and LittleNLivei
Pills. I am thankful to Coo and you
valuable medicines that my poor suffer
ing wife can live and be cOmfOrtabl,
after the terrible ordeal she has passed
through during the past five years.
you wish an affidavit of these facts
am willing to give it.
Yours gratefully,

NEWPORT, r. l., March S.-About nine
months ago, pursuant TO instructions from
the war department, Major Lockwood, ex-
ecutiye of the United States corps of engi-
neers stationed here opened negotiations
with the Ocean Highlands Land company
of jamestown to secure land for fortitica.
tions for the defense of Narragansett bay.
The land desired is the southeastern ex-
tremity Of Conanicut island, opposite this
city. The government has planned to place
disappearing guns and mortar batteries on
this point, which, together with the bat
teries at Fort Adams directly opposite,
will completely command the cast passage
The price asked for the land was exor-
bitant, but to expedite matters the govern
ment agreed to pay the prices asked by the
company and the private property owners
whose lands were desired. The engineers
Office went to considerable expense in Sc
curing deeds of the property, which cover
ed period Of over 250 years and made q
document of about 200 pages. Conditions
in the deeds were to the effect that the
land could not bc used for slaughter
house, any kind of machine shop, manu-.
factory, brewery or distillery.
The deeds forwarded to Washington foI
approval were returned Saturday with in
structions to the local officer TO return
them TO the landowners with the state
ment that they would not be accepted un-
der the conditions as described.
The federal authorities in the meantime
had an act passed in the Rhode Island leg
islature by which the government could
condemn lands for fortifications purposes
and under its provisions the government
will now proceed.

BOARD TO ORGANIZE.
The New Castle Board Of Education,
which has been maligned and berated
by clique of citizens who had much
louder voices than they had interest in
the schools, has been vindicated at the
polls by the people, with a majority
that made It emphatic, Notwithstanding
hard work on the part Of the anti-ad-
ministration people.
Saturdays election showed that the
people had sufficient confidence in the
Board of EducatiOn's integrity and
ability to build up and maintain pub
lie school system second to none for a
town Of 5000. Thomas Frazer, Jr., who
probably made the hardest fight for the
present administration, received the
highest number of votes William
Deakyne was reelected and the new
member is ex-President of Council
Orion A. Carrick.
Previously the board has stood
to 3, the minority holding out against
the present administration, and Bit
terly opposing the employment OF
teachers from abroad. Finally the
matter has come TO an issue and the
concensus of opinion is that the ma
jority of the board is sutained and the
minority repelled. The victory is the
result Of a hard fight on the part of the
friends>of the board. Last June, when
the old teachers were turned out, the
public sentiment so aroused itself that
City Council held a special meeting and
denounced the Board Of Education,
public indignation meeting was called
and members were even threatened
with violence, while sermons were
preached addresses delivered and harsh
things we're said for which everybody
has since been sorry.
THOSE UNsUsTAINED REsOLU-
TIONS.
The condemnatory resolutions adopt
ed by Council at a hasty special meet
ing on June 10 were as follows.
Resolved That we condemn in no
uncertain tone the action of a majority
of the members Of our Board of Educa-
tion in dismissing from our public
schools teachers who have given such
long and valuable service, and be it fur
ther
Resolved, That no language is Sc
we're enough in condemning the process
OF dismissing teachers against whom
there are no charges so far as the pub
lie has any knowledge and if charges
exist, no opportunity has been given to
said teachers to place themselves right
before the public, and be it
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to each Of the said
teachers and one TO the Board of Edu-
cation and that one copy be given tc
each paper circulated in this city fol
! publication in the same"
Councilman Harrington afterward
announced to the president that he
signed the above resolutions under a
misapprehension and under no circum-
stances would he do it again. The re-
suit OF Saturdays election shows now
that the councilmen were not justified
in their hasty act Of June 10.

At the election $50 votes were cast
with the following result:

first chapter of the message, treating OF
| the foreign relations of our Govern
ment. It is the intention of the Presi.
dent to devote much attention in his
message to the subject of trade rela.
tons and reciprocity, so that there was
some talk today respecting the posi-
tions assumed by the great European
sugar producing countries, that the lay
ing of countervailing duty on sugar
to Offset the home paid bounty amounts
to unjust discrimination. 1t is certain
that the arrangement of the reciprocal
agreements under the tariff law which
Congress directed should be prepare'
as speedily as may be, is retarded b.
considerations growing out of tn
bounty questions.
