PETITION NOT PRESENTED
JUDGE GRUBB MAY BE PETITloNED
TO HEAR THE RYAN CASE.

CONGRESSMAN HANDY
WENT TO DOVER. BUT DID NOT
PRESENT IT TO CHANCELLOR
NICHOLSON-NO POSITIVE AC-
TIoN YET TAKEN.
Former Congressman Handy did not
make application to Chancellor Mich
olson for a writ Of habeas corpus in
the Ryan case yesterday afternoon. He
went there for that purpose, but af-
terwards changed his mind, and It is
likely that the petition will be pre-
sented to Judge Grubb, of this county,
although even that is not positively
determined. To an Evening Journal
reporter Mr.. Handy said to-6@y
Statements which have appeared
in print concerning the case Of Alfred
.C. Ryan are in a number of respects
Incorrect. It is an interesting case, but
/ have no desire to try it in the news
iapers. No petition has yet been made
to the chancellor or any other judge
for a writ Of habeas corpus, and there
fore, Of course, no day set for hearing
the case. It is probable that such Il
petition will be presented either to
Chancellor Nicholson or to Judge
.Grubb. The chief justice and Judge
'Spruance are both members of the
board of managers Of the Ferris In
dustrial School. l have no purpose OF
desire to criticise the management OF
that institution. My interest in this
matter is that of an attorney employ
ed by the parents of a boy, who is now
held at the school"
1t is understood that the petition in
the case had been drawn before Mr.
Handy made his trip to Dover yester-
day, consequently it will be but @
short time before definite action is
taken.

TRAGIC DEATH OF JOHN 7. AND
WILLIAM HODGES.

THE FATHER LOST HIS LIFE IN
TRYING TO SAVE THAT OF HIS
SON, WHO WAS UNABLE TO
SWIM.
Chestertown, Nd, July 2O.-John T..
Hodges and his son, William Hodges,
aged II years, were drowned Tuesday
afternoon. They were fishing for soft
crabs in a narrow cove in Piney Neck,
Kent county. The boy. who was
large for his age, could not SWIM
said he wanted to take a bath. The
only witnesses of the drowning were
two small boys about years old from
Baltimore, who accompanied Mr..
Hodges and his son on the trip in
search Of crabs. The boys give the
Following account of the double drown
ing:
William Hodges said to his father
that he would take a bath and at once
proceeded 20 undress. He walked out
into the water and in a few minutes
went down and called to his father,
Pap, come to me qsick!" The father
with all his clothing on, rushed to the
rescue and both sank to the bottom.
The boys say neither ever came to the
surface Mr.. Parson, who was not more
than hundred yards away, thinks he
could have saved both had he been
called, but the boys were so badly
Frightened that they hurried home and
gave the alarm to the grief-stricker
wife and mother without stopping to
notify anyone on the way what had
happened. When the bodies were
drawn from the water about three
hours after the accident it was discov-
cred tnat in all probability the unfor-
ltunate boy had actually drowned his
father The fathers head was held il
a vice-lilSe grip between the boys legs
and the arms Of both we're in such c
position as to indicate that after be-
ling grabbed by his son the father hat
broken away, but in the effort sanl
lonly to be clasped around the neck il

lhis drowning son.
Mr.. Hodges was about A years o
age, and from boyhood had been noteI
as one Of the finest swimmers in thu
neighborhood in which he lived Th'
boy, who was large and muscular fo
Ibis age, could not swim and both wer'
leyidently unconscious Of the fact tha

to bathe, within about twenty feet o

Total deficit in ordinary
receipts for four years. $50 ,S2430
OF this $S0,S243O, S26, ,633.S7 was ere
ated after the issue of the bonds, leav-
ing as the entire floating debt at the
close Of the year 1S97-including the
floating debt at the beginning Of the
year 1S95-a sum aggregating $780,
S62.56. This appears to be the only
amount for which the bonds were in
tended to be issued. This left a mar
gin of s91, ,999.11 in hand after the en-
tire floating debt had been paid. In
other words, according to the showing
made by the report, bond issue of
$40, 900 would have sufficed to fund the
floating debt of the county, and in the
face of this fact the Levy Court com
missioners issued bonds for S150,000
and applied about $4,000 of the sale
of those bonds to current expenses,
having no other use for it. This, it is
held, was never contemplated by the
Legislature. 1t served to keen down
the tax rate by increasing the countys
bonded Indebtedness.

AUDITORS AND BONDS.
Big Issue BY the Levy Court
Was Unnecessary.
THE EFFECT OF THE REPORT

IT is HELD THAT WHEN Sl5O,OOO
WAS BORROWED TO FUND THE
FLOATING DEBT NOT MORE
THAN s66.S62.56 WAS NEEDED.
THE MARGIN BEING APPLIED
TO MEETING CURRENT Ex-
PENSES.
There are facts and figures given in
the detailed report of County Auditor
John S. Rossell and John II. Dandy,
submitted to Judge Spruance yester-
day, which go to show that the issue
of s15O,OGO worth of bonds to fund the
floating debt Of the county in 1897 was
not necessary, inasmuch as the debt Of
that character at that time was but
s66, 6,362.5G, and the balance, $91 ,99911,
must have been applied to current ex-
penses in violation Of the terms of the
act.
On May 2S. 1897, the Legislature
passed an act authorizing the Levy
Court of this county to fund the foat-
ing debt. Under this act it was author
izer and empowered to borrow a sum
not exceeding s15O,OOO. and the court
was directed to apply the money bor-
rowed to the liquidation and payment
of the floating Indebtedness.
Pursuant to this act the Levy Court
issued bonds to the amount Of s150,OOO,
which yielded. premium and accrued
interest, 5S,361.67.
According to the report made by the
auditors, on January ], 1895, the coun-
ty owed the Farmers Bank notes to
the amount of $4,000. but had cash
in hand amounting to s17,S2Z67; leav-
ling to s17,S2Z67 uponcases, burton 5lN
ing an actual floating debt at that time
of only s12,1721S. The following state
ment, embodied in the report, shows
the creation during the following -four
years. and up to January 8. 1899, of al
additional floating debt of sSO,S24.3O:
