tion Of new business. The bill was
passed at the last session which provided
that no new business should be taken

SMITH IS HOME AGAIN.
The Ex.TclIer After Five Years in
Prison Joins His Family.


Peter 7. L. Smith is home.
The man who at one time was one o
the most popular men in this city ha
returned alter spending five years il
prison.
He left New York Yesterday on th'
two O'Clock express, Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and arrived in Wilmington
shortly after six o'clock.
His arrival was happiness for him, {
blessing to his family and great pleasure
for his friends.
Mrs. Smith, who was waiting
patiently for the hour Of greeting, had
made great preparations to make his re.
turn an event Of cheerfulness, forgetting
the past and thinking only OF the hap.
piness Of the future.
The family and some friends all
gathered at his home, 6l4 Van Buren
street, and the entrance of Mr.. Smith
made an impressive scene from the fact
that the true love of family was shown
by their affections and tears of joy which
displayed their love for the father.
Mr.. Smith remained amidst the as
semblage gathered for some minutes, but
as the excitement was of too great
magnitude for him, it was deemed
advisable for his wife and family to be
left alone.
The future business plans OF Mr..
Smith were discussed, but nothing def
mite was arrived at. Whether they
81 all remain in Wilmington will also
will be decided upon in a few weeks.
Mr.. Smith said the officials of Kings
County Prison were very kind to
him, which did much towards relieving
the monotory of his confinement. Dur
ing his stay there he was bookkeeper at
the prison.
Peter T. +. Smith was imprisoned
for the embezzlement of $500
from the First National Bank, OF this
city. His shortage at that institll-
ton was discovered in February,
1893 and his arrest was caused
on the 23d Of that month. Mr.. Smith
confessed and stated that the discovery
Of his crime was the greatest relief of his
life. His trial. which was short one.
was held before United States Commits
sioner Smith, and the condemned man
was sentenced to serve seven years in
Kings County penitentiary, which time
was shortened by good behavior to five
years.
The returned ex-telcr says that Presi-
dent Mckinley has promised that upon
application his right OF citizenship shall
be retained.
Mr.. Smiths return is great pleasure
to his friends and one of Wilnington's
prominent men said last night that he
no doubt would be warmly welcomed
into their old circle OF friendship. "tIe
was a man who had many friends. He
was generous and charitable on all oc
casions and his misfortune was a severe
blow to all in Wilmington. His down
fall was unexpected and abrupt. but still
his friends have the greatest confidence
in him and no doubt if he should aspire
to political office, he would receive
strong support from many influential and
prominent men,

A GOOD JOKE.

Be it known that there is a COM
pany of gentlemen here, who have
purchased summer resort up in.
the mountains of Arkansas, known
as the Baker Springs property, and
they have men up there cleaning up
the underbrush, building cottages
and doing other work. The compa-
ny gave orders to have the spring
cleaned out good and they would
send some twenty-inch tiling up
there to curb it up. One of the
members was selected to buy and
ship this tiling over He put in
his order and thought no more
of it until yesterday, when letter
came addressed to the secretary,
telling him that the tiIing had ar
rived but the workmen at the
spring were unable to stop the big
hole in the side OF the tiling and
that they would wait until the COM
pany instructed them as to this
matter. The secretary called upon
the president and laid the letter be-
fore him and they started out to
look up the man who had furnished
the tiling.
On finding him an explanation
was asked. He said he had shipped
over three joints of tiling with ell
bows, according to orders as he un-
derstood them, and this explained
ALL
The company will order some
more tiling without "holes" in them
and those Arkansas carpenters who
we're at loss to know how to stop
the holes in the tiling will not be
bothered with this extra work.
