The men were employed by +. H.

until they were far outside the hook
with no signs OF being rescued. The
scows collided about noon Monday and
liendrickson jumped from one to the
other without accident.
The scow was badly smashed and was
cut loose. Monday evening an outward

CALLS FOR A DOLLAR MORE
Wilmington City Railway
Declares a Dividend
But MAKES AN ASSESSMENT
Stock Is Over $500 Paid And Will be
$0OO..-Sum to be Realized by
the Assessment Ito be Devoted
to improvement and Obli-
CATION.

At the scmi-annuaI meeting of the
stockholders of the Wilmington City
Railway Company held Yesterday after
noon in this city, semi-annual diyi :
dend of q per cent was declared and a t
the same time call for the payment OF
$l.W on each of the $1,000 shares OF
stock of the company was made This
call will make the stock 500 Il share
paid in. At present it stands $500 paid
in, par valuation share being 5000.
The declaration of the dividend yes
tcrday caused much surprise to some
stock kholders as well as in financial cir
cles The prevail g iml1e sion WIS that
in the face OF the reported deal for the
declared.
The payment of this dividend OF q
per cent. will require an outlay OF about
twenty cents share on - 900 shares, or
about 81 900. The call for the payment
Of $l.0O on each share Of a total $1,000
shares will put in the company's treas
ury $4,000. This means then, that
after declaring the dividend the COM
pany's treasury will gain about SIT 900.
This sum the officials say will be used
for improvement of the company's lines.
The declaration of the dividend yester-
day was about two weeks over due. 1t
WAS due on the 18th instant. Last July
also it was two weeks over due. Then
the company's treasury was haTd-up
caused by inability to secure concessions
from the legislature as to an increase of
its bonded Indebtedness
Since July it has been suspected in
local financial circles that the roads
treasury WIS in poor condition and this
suspicion was strengthened by the re-
cent semi-otiicial report Of an effort to
dispose of the road to an outside syndi-
cate. Now the call for the payment of
an additional dollar on each share OF
stock completely veriiies the prevailing
and general suspicion.
1t was hinted in financial circles yes
terday afternoon that the fund realizedby
the assessment called for yesterday would
be devoted largely to the Gefunuing OF
borrowed money and the purchase OF the
annual supplies of the road. In view Of
the prospects OF selling the road, it is
said, that the officials of the road de-
Iayed the purchase OF the annual sup
plies which require snug outlay. 1t
was also limited yesterday that the dec
laration Of the dividend practically
means that the recent negotiations for
the purchase OF the road by outsiders
are off
The report of the Wilmington City
Railways business in the last six
months shows slight increase in traffic
on all lines, but no decrease in opera ng
expenses. The operating expenses, it it.
said, are more than - per cent. OF the
gross earnings.
The stock at present sells for about
1890 per share in open market.

Special to THE SUN.

Special to The sun.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2S-The boxing
, ,,rtl: It the Arena between Charley John.
son and Mysterious Billy Smith proved
a disappointment and Smith showed
himself such Il cowardIy and foul fighter
that he will never get an engagement in
Philadelphia again and he is lucky to es-
cape serious injury at the hands of the
mob that waited for him after the con-
test.
After the men shook hands and had
started to box Smith led lightly and
landed on Johnscn's body, johnson
rushed Smith and landed the left in the
face and Il hard right hand smash on the
body.
Smith clinchcd and was trying to
strike johnson in the ciinch, when tie
wf' . G tried to separate them, johnson
was breaking loose and Smith back
hre!cd and threw him heavily to the
ground. While johnson was on the
floor Smith kicked him once on the head
and again in the body, and as Charley
was getting up Smith struck him twice.
Instantly there was IA scene OF common
ton and tie police jumping INTO the
ring ran Smith off the stage. The crowd
tried to follow him to the dressing room
but the police guarded it and escorted
him to the train.
Smith claimed that Johnson had tried
to bite him and also that Johnson had
tried to butt him but these claims were
ridiculous as Smith had not mark on
him. The contest if such it could be
called lasted about one minute.
1t is probable that Smith found John
son better man than he thought he
would be and tried to lose on foul and
lost his head in pulling off the trick.
Smith is notoriously foul fighter. He
bit and kicked George Green in Califor-
mia and did the same dirty work to Joe
Wocott when they met in Boston.
He should never get an engagement in
any boxing club. All the preliminary
bouts were good, that between young
Harry Burke and Billy Farren being
very close and exciting.

The LAW MAKERS ADJOURN
After a Week of Fruitless Work the
Legislature Rests-..IIong Waits
Will he the Feature

Special to THE Sun.
DOVER, Jan. 2s.-Iegislatup stands
adjourned until Monday.
The missing Senator whose presence
was required to make the quorum ar
rived at last, and the House joint eso-
luton was passed after the down State
members had missed their train.
A week's::work has been done, or at
least week has been spent and paid
for and once more the State house il
quiet.
Down in the room set apart for the
counsel, however, sit the three lawyers,
hard at work. Among other laws
which are well along and which will in
all probability be sent to the House on
Monday, is the bill in relation to agri-
culture.
This according to Representative
Wilson is in good shape and may be ex-
pccted as part OF the early work next
week.
Mr.. Dempsey's bill in relation to tax
ing electric cars is also in the hands of
the committee, and will probably be
brought up for action.
1t will in all probability pass the
House, When it reaches the Senate
1t Will be III one sense q test case as to
whether the Senate will consider new
business or not. II they adhere to the
tactics already instituted it will have
the effect of stopping the infuex Of pop
nlar bills in a great measure and the
Legislature with nothing in prospect cx-
Cept such matters as pertain to the
statutory changes will have a rather
slow session.
Long waits and frequent adjourn
mcnts will be feature, and the limit
set by the counsel WILL in all probabil-
ity, be fully carried ont.
Not lesa than three months, prob
ably four" is the verdict Of the emf
nent counsel
Many Of the conservative people are
condemning the Legislature for not pass
ing the bill providing that the laws be
coditied during the sunmer recess by
the judiciary, who would have been
fully competent and who would have
had ample time to have pnt in shape
sufficient matcria to have made the ad-
joUrncd session somewhat less Of a
farce.
That cannot be remcdicd now and
with the commission advising a months
adjournment, the House pleading to be
allowed to transact new business, and
the Senate sticking to its original propo-
sition excluding all but business made
necessary by the constitutional changes,
the situation is to say the least some
what ridiculous.

George SOmerville Tramp For
Twenty-Five Years Gets 100000
by Marriage---known in
Delaware

After 26 years of tramp life George
Somerville has married woman worth
$4,000.
Residents Of Lincoln City and friends
OF this man living in this city have re-
ceived the startling intelligence con-
tanned in the above sentence.
Connected with George Somerville's
name is the story of romantic lite.
Somerville is minister's son and his
father now lives in New Jersey. When
living home with his parents Somerville
was inclined to be wild and in endeavOrs
to reform his son the New Jersey divine
educated young Somervile to the pulpit.
College life only served to foster the
lads taste for the romantic and at the
age of Is he ran away and has been
'tramplng it, ever since. He is now 40
years OF age.
SomerviIe struck Delaware about five
years after he left New Jersey and To-
Gated in Lincoln City where he posed as
a millionaire's son travelling over the
country for his health.
He expressed Il desire to a well-known
farmer, that he would likr to have u job

He remained there several months,
after which he came to Wilmington and
remained for six months with relatives

here to get him but the young advent
urcr departed suddenly.
Nothing more was heard Of the tramp
until Thursday when an account of his
marriage appeared in Sioux City, Iowa
paper.
Last month he chanccd to attend SER
vices at the Rescue Mission Of that city.
Among the workers that night was Mrs.
Christina Olson, well.to-do widow.
s;omcrviIIe's scholarly face attracted her
and she gave him money and induced
him to seek work in town.
Their acquaintance ripnod. with the
result that Rev. w. L. Brown, OF the
local Methodist Church united them in
marriage on Wednesday evening.
someryille's wife is reputcd to be
worth $4,000.
