CONSTANT DISORDER CHARGED,
EAST SIDE CITIZEN
COMPLAINS ABOUT BEHAVIOR
IN KIRKWOOD PARK.

PROMINENT EAST SIDE CITIZEN
COMPLAINS ABOUT BEHAVIOR
IN KIRKWOOD PARK.
From all accounts Kirkwood Park
Eleventh and Kirkwood streets, must
be a tough resort. although the city
has made every effort to reclaim it.
On Sunday last a local paper con-
tanned an article regarding obscene and
profane Language that was used there
by a gang Of boys.
On Monday a prominent citizen OF
the East Side, man well-known in
the business circles of Wilmington,
said to an Evening Journal reporter:
"Kirkwood Park is a disgrace to the
city Of Wilmington, so far as the be-
havior of a set Of boys who nightly loaf
there is concerned. They make prac-
tice of laying about on the benches at
all hours Of the night in a half drunken
condition. AS they range in age from
IA to IS, they are unable to purchase
drink themselves, but each member Of
the crowd contributes five or ten
cents, and a man. who makes a
practice of hanging about for the pur-
pose, is sent to nearby saloons with a
kettle, which he brings back full Of
beer.
This occurs a dozen times nightly.
and the lads get drunk and lay about
on the seats, cursing and swearing at
all hours of the night. It is true that
there is a park guard there, but he does
not appear to know. his business, or
does not care about it, The matter
should be brought to the attention Of
the proper authorities"

Vember or the early part OF December
He will spend three days here as the
guest of ex-Congressman L. Irving
Handy.
1t is expected that he will make six
political speeches while here. two in
each county, but just where Mr.. Handy.
who has charge Of the arrangements.
is not prepared to say.
Mr.. Bryan's trip to Delaware is for
political purposes, pure and simple. He
wants the Delaware delegates to the
Democratic national convention. and
Mr. Handy is determined that he shall
have them II he can bring it about. Tho
idea is to awaken Bryan sentiment and
to upset the plans Of certain Delaware
politicians who are unfriendly to Mr.
Bryan and endeavoring to give the
delegates to German, Of Maryland.
Mr. Handy was seen by an Evening
Journal reporter this morning and
frankly stated that he had received two
letters from Mr.. Bryan. which contain
ed specific assurance of three-days'
visit shortly after the holding OF the
November elections. He was equally
frank in the declaration that the OBJ
iect OF the visit would be to secure the

A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS
BENJAMIN WELLS INSANE WIFE
LOCKED IN A KITCHEN.

SECRETARY WIGGLEsWORTH, OF
THE BOARD OF HEALTH, VISIT
ED WELLS HOUSE ON KING
STREET YESTERDAY. AND FOUND
ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS NAIL.
ED UP.
Mrs Wells, of No. 1908 King street.
was sent over to the almshouse yester-
day by order Of the police authorities.
and to-day the Board Of Health is
fumigating the house under the imme-
diate supervision of Secretary Wig
ellsworth.
Mrs. Wells is about 65 years old. and
the neglect which she suffered while
confined to room in her home was
plainly apparent. She was in a filthy
condition, and her nails mad attained
Ia growth OF about two inches. She
and her husband. Benjamin Wells.
were, years ago. we'll or, but reverses
Impoverished them.
Secretary Wigglesworth's attention
was called to the case by the arrest Of
Mrs. Wells last week by Police Ser
geant Welsh, who found her wandering
at Fourteenth and Walnut streets in q
.demented condition. Mr.. Wiggles-
worth investigated the case and con-
.cluded from reports current that some
steps should be taken to fumigate
Wells house.
Since Monday last efforts have been
made by the health officers to gain en-
trance to the residence without using
force, and yesterday they were success
ful. After getting in to the dwelling
"a horrible state of affairs was found to
exist. Every window and door, except
Ia rear one. was nailed up All the
furniture was piled up in a heap in
"a front room. The windows in the
kitchen in which Mrs. Wells had been
confined for the past five years were
securely fastened, and at the back door
ashes had been spread to prevent the
entrance of a ray Of light
The only piece of furniture in the
room was a filthy straw mattress, upon
which the woman lay. In room up
stairs. occupied by Wells, a similar
mattress was found. There were no
carpets in the house and cobwebs hung
from every point. For five years, it
is said, that not window had been open
ed nor a door unlocked, and Secretary
Wigglesworth states that it is the worst
case of neglect that ever came under
his notice.

summoned to the bedside. The bishop
became conscious shortly before his
death and recognized his wife, Mrs. U.
S. Grant. Mrs. F. d. Grant and others
arrived at the scene a moment or 30
later

received from all quarters expressing
sympathy. A dispatch from Bishop
