country and be separated from the
state, the same as it Is now in

Anxious to Visit Wilmington.

In very short time the trolley ex-
tension to Wilmington will have been
completed and cars running regularly.
During this winter at least an evening
trip to the Delaware metropolis will be
a novelty that will be enjoyed by many
people, evidence of this already APP
pearing in the arrangements being
made by the young and numerous old
people to form theatre parties to visit
the Grand Opera House performances
in Wilmington. The new cars are com
modious, seated like the steam railroad
passenger coaches and are easy run
ming. They will travel at rapid rate,
consuming but little time between this
city and Wilmington, and will leave
that city at the close of the perform
ance so that those attending need have
no fear of any delay in getting back to
Chester. In addition to this there is
said to be a movement on foot to build
an opera house at Shellpot and estab-
fish a winter amusement place there,
drawing audiences from Wilmington
and Chester and points between. This
will give the theatre-goers all along the
line a good opportunity not only to en-
Joy an evenings play but also the
pleasures of a trolley outing.

MANY CASES DROPPED.

State Prosecuting Officers Ignore Half Of
the Commitments.
Out of 102 commitments received by
the State prosecuting officers for the
September term OF court, a3 were
found of sufficient Importance and with
sufficient evidence to warrant sending
them to the grand jury. That body
ignored eight bills out of the 49, Of
the 50 cases not sent to the jury, it is
estimated that .two-thirds came from
justices of the peace. These cases in
cluded charges of false pretences and
embezzlement which turned out to be
simply attempts TO collect debts by
criminal, rather than civil, process.
Such cases were at once dropped by
the State prosecuting officers.
From the number Of useless cases
weeded out by these officers, II is
thought that many are sent to them
that ought not to be, For making
out commitment or bailbond, o
Justice of the peace receives q fee of
% cents. Whether that is sufficient
inducement to send up a case that
might otherwise be dismissed at once,
is one of the subjects oh which
opinions may differ.
The work caused the court officers by
trivial cases recalls the proposition
that many cases might be decided by
the lower courts which now are sent
up. Under the new Constitution,
article 4, section 30, the Legislature
can give the inferior courts iuris-
diction in cases of selling liquor CON
trary to law, carrying concealed deadly
weapons and other misdemeanors. II
is possible that at the next session Of
the General Assembly, legislation will
be proposed to looking to that end.
