to establish a voting place in the north
ern district of Pencader hundred. When
the commissioners were appointed to
divide Pencader into election districts
they established the voting place at
Ccoch's Mill John Dayett had pur-
chased the mill and he refused to per-
NIT the election to be held there. They
went to John Boys house, but there was
no accommodation there. The last time
it was held at Coroner Thomas
Wright's house, but that was not
wholly satisfactory. Recently ex-heg-
lister Of Wills j. Wilkins COoch went
and saw Mr.. Dayett, and he agreed, if
the General Assembly would pass a law
fixing the mill as the voting place he
would provide suitable accommoda-
tiOns.

DOVER. Feb. ll.-Senator Handy

Chester, Claymont and Wilmington
Electric Railway Company. This char
ter is designed to take the place of the
present Chester and Wilmington Elec-
trio Railway charter which has never
been used and which expires Monday.
MIR. Handy is determined that a road
shall be built there and that the com
pany shall have the right to condemn
the turnpike from Wilmington to the
state line for its roadbed 1t is said
that b. q o. and p. w. e Z. influences
are preventing the building of the road
under the present charter as the route
is between and close to the main lines
Of both companies.
The incorporators Of the new COM
pany will be DR.. Jacob Derickson, Isaac
c. Elliott, Clifton Perkins, Frederick
A. Handy, John n. Carswell, e. r.
Cooper and Peter L. Cooper, Jr. The

A BIG OVERDRAFT.
John H. Rodney, attorney for the
New Castle County Levy Court. came
down yesterday to see how the House
bill authorizing the Levy Court to
make a temporary lean of $4,000, was
getting along in the Senate He found
it quietly resting in committee. with
the three New Castle county members
keeping watch and ward over it.
From all that can be learned the
Levy Court has overdrawn it's accountin
the Farmers Bank, Wilmington, by
from $4,000 to $4,000, and has ex-
hausred its line Of credit President
Carpenter. it is said, has given Cashier
Young and Mr. Carswell orders not 10
advance any more money on warrants
until the existing overdraft is made
good. This indicates that the $4,000
lean will be used to pay the $4,000 OF
$4,000 overdraft in order to establish
new line of credit.

Professor II. C. Warren of Princeton

three nights Of the tCst they were engaged,
as far as possible, in their usual oCcula-

kind and were served at the usual hours.
After the second night the first subject
suffered curious fantasies. He complain

he conldn't get sure footstep. He would
try to walk on space, thinking the floor
was foot above where it was, and when
his efforts met disaster he seemed sorely
distressed
Later the air was full of these dancing
particles, which developed into swarms of
