KENT TROLLEY FIGHT.

A KENT COUNTY CASE DECIDED
BY THE CHANCELLOR AT DO
YER.
Chancellor Nicholson has announced
his decision in the case of Lydia r.
Wilds VS.. David S. Wilds and others, of
Kent county.
The decision was given upon peti-
ton for the appointment of commits
sioner TO take the examination of COM
plainant die bene esse. The applica-
tion was resisted mainly upon the
ground that rule AZ of the Court of
Chancery in this state did not apply to
a party, and that the statute Of 1881 to
testify did not affect the rule.
The chancellor held that the rule did
not apply to parties, the statute not
withstanding, and that, therefore, the
statute having created a situation un-
provided for by the rule, the application
must be considered outside of the rule
and be decided in accordance with the
precedence of the English Chancery
which established the principles tha
must guide the discretion of the chan
cellor in granting or refusing a com
mission of die bene esse.

NEW COMPANY'S STRUGGLE TO
SECURE THE FRANCHISE-AN-
OTHER HEARING TOMORROW.
Dover, Del, Aug. SO.-The fight for
possession of the franchises and right
Of way for the new Delaware electric
railways has developed into a battle
royal. Yesterday afternoon two COM
Ipanies appeared before the Levy
'Court-Henry Ridgely and Leo Bel
mont, Of Philadelphia, representing
the Delaware General Electric Rail-
way, while former Secretary OF State
Hawkins appeared for the Delaware
Electric Railway System. Ridgely
urged a postponement Of the hearing
until to-day, that Attorney-General
White. who was detained by death in
his family. might be present. and as a
guarantee Of good faith stated that
$1,000 in cash had been deposited in
the two banks OF Dover.
Hawkins declared that there would
be stubborn opposition to any applica-
tion the new company proposed to
make, and in the warmth Of his speech
he withdrew as counsel for the Levy
Court, stating that he was so interest
ed in the construction Of a trolley sys-
TEN that he could not advise the court
as a dislnterested party. The court

rHE WEMl AT sHELLPOT.

Visitors at Shellpot Park yesterday
afternoon and evening were much
pleased with the character Of the per-
formance this week. That the show Is
appreciated is evident from the hearty
applause given the performers. A
striking feature Of the performance Is
the Metweff Brothers, Russian dan
GERS. They are exceptional actors and
such novel dancing has never before
been seen in this city. In addition to
being dancers they are clever acrobats.
Fred Roberts is an entertainer, too
well known to need comment. His
songs captivated the audience last
night and he had to give four selec-
tions before he escaped. Belknap, the
modeler in clay, Is a clever artist, and
his speciality is both interesting and
amusing. Ed. Leonard, in coon songs
and buck dancing, was very pleasing
as were also Lynch and Jewell, in
comedy sketch.
The treat Of the evening is, however
reserved to the last, and it is the st
Belmos, in their daring and thrilling
trapeze act A band has been intro
duced in this act and it adds much e
the effect. Each evening st. Belmo'
makes his great dive through rings o
knives and fire and alights safely OF
the ground without the aid Of a net. II
the afternoon these performers give
clever act on the trapeze. This is thi
last week Of the firemen's contest, an'
last evening many votes were added 4
those already in the boxes. Arrange
ments are now being made to coun
the votes, as it is believed that It vii
take several hours to count them. Thl
count will commence Satur
day afternoon so that the result car
be announced in the evening and tn
prize awarded.

AND MISS LOUISE PATZOWSKY
BROKE HER ENGAGEMENT
WITH HIM.

AMI Mloo LOOloE GAlLOMoh
BROKE HER ENGAGEMENT
WITH HIM.
The engagement of Miss Louise Pat
zowsky, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Richard Patzowsky, to Harry l.
Ward. of Philadelphia, which was
announced recently, has now been de-
clared of. The rupture is said to be
owing to Mr.. Wards greed for gold.
About two weeks, ago, it is said
Ward went into the iewelry store OF
Bailey, Banks & Biddle, on Chestnut
street, Philadelphia, and selected jew
elry to the value OF $500, which the
firm agreed to allow him to take tc
his affianced, Miss Patzowsky, for her
approval. He represented that 1t was
to be his present to her on the event
of their marriage. Miss Patzowsky
never saw the jewels. Instead, It is
alleged, he took them to pawn
broken, and pat them up for about
$500. He then attempted to escape
but the officers were soon upon his
trail. and he was arrested. To hush
the matter up, his brother redeemed
the stolen articles, and returned them
to Bailey, Banks & Biddle, for which
service they agreed not to punish the
culprit.
Miss Patzowsky has known Ward
for about two years, but they did not
become engaged until few weeks ago
This morning an Evening Journal
reporter called on Richard Patzowsky
requesting an interview which he re-
fused to grant.
