sist that it is the most important step
yet taken for arousing the people of
the country to the Importance of cleo
ting United States Senators by popu-
lar vote. The resolutions adopted by
the conference call upon the State cen

WILL CHESWOLG HAVE A HOTEL ?
RumOrS That Residence Has Been Bought
for this Purpose StirS the
Inhabitants.
Correspondence to The Times.


CHEswoLD, May 15.-Our people
were aroused last Thursday as they had
not been for years by a report which
seemed well founded, that one of our
large and centrally located buildings
had been rented for hotel and bar.
In the twilight hour of the day,
groups could be seen gathered in
earnest conversation, discussing that
which is so much in dread and the
keeping of which from our doors has
heretofore carried with it a sense of
pride. The liquor interest, however,
finds among its advocates, numbering
about one-ffth of our population ac-
cording to estimate, those arguing that
hotel always carries with it life and
enterprise and the hotel proprietor
promises good order; if otherwise, re-
dress is found in the law and that his
business is a perfectly legitimate one.
etc, while the anti-saloon element.
which is largely in the majority, bv
way of comparison on the line of ''life
and enterprise" bring up our sister
towns, east and west of Cheswold. who
can boast of larger populations; and as
to the orderly part, its the business of
saloons to offer all the inducements
and enticements possible for patronage
and here lies the danger that our young
men will fall a prey to drink, resulting
in turbulence, lawlessness and many
other evil consequences of which we
are now free.
The rumOr turned ont to be the
fruits of joke, yet there seems ground
for belief that the hotel men are still
quietly negotiating for the building.
Many of our citizens feel safe in the
belief that none of the judges in our
courts in view of all the facts touching
our situation would inconsiderately
grant a fractional license by which a
saloon could slip in upon a commun-
ity so largely voiced aginst it. REX.

ceived from Attorney Henry Ridgely,
of Dover, concerning the costs in the
suit brought by Frank Downs, of
Downs Chapel, against the town of
Smyrna and which was amicably set
tied at the recent term of court. He
enclosed in his letter the bill as made
out by the ProthOnotary. The Council
did not take action on it immediately
but authorized the President to ap-
point committee to audit the account
and report at the next meeting. The
chair appointed Councilmen Anthony
and Reynolds to take the matter in
hand.
The opening of the bids for coal was
the next order of business. There
were only four received and they were
from Charles Warner Co., Henry
Thompson, A. f. Jardine, Agt., and
the Allegheny Coal Co. The bids
were read and it was found that the
town could save several hundred dol
lars in year by getting it by water
instead of by rail. On the strength of
this Councilman Walls moved if bid
he accepted to come by water that
Street Supervisor Turner, who does
the hauling, be paid at the rate of
ten cents per ton extra for hauling if
from the Smyrna Landing Wharves.
He also moved that the bids be left in
the hands of the Light and Water
Committee before awarding the con-
tract in order that some tests might be
made, and if the lowest bid was not
satisfactory, the next lowest bid
should be taken. Both of these mo-
tiOns were carried
On motion Councilmen Reynolds
and Fowler were appointed com
mlttee to procure summer uniforms
for the policemen.
President Robinson was instructed
by a vote of the Council to notify
Collector Eugene Grow to proceed TO
collect the delinquent taxes of 1891 by
law at once.
Secretary Anthony moved that the
Street Committee he authorized to buv
5000 bushels of oyster shells and to
purchase them to the best advantage
of the town.
Owing to the latcncss of the hour
the Council adjourned to meet the fol-
lowing Tuesday evening, when appeals
were to be taken up and passed upon
and the tax rate for the coming year
named.

The automobile, or horseless We
hicle, it is affirmed, has come to stay.
Just as the car propelled by electricity
has displaced the car drawn by horses,
so the cab propelled by steam, naptha,
compressed air, or electricity, will dis
place, it is predicted, the vehicles
drawn by horses that are still in use.
Paris, which leads the worlds in popu-
larizing many new fashions, has al
ready supplied itself with automobile
cabs. On April 2nd last, such cabs
were placed at the disposal of the
Paris public in large numbers and at
once won favor and patronage. These
automobile, or electric cabs are pro-
vided with accumulators which enable
them to travel from 81 to 80 miles with
out recharging the batteries. The or
binary cab fare is received, namely,
from 30 to 40 cents an hour for one or
two persons. A brake is placed in the
interior of the cab, so that the Occu-
pant can check the cabs speed, if he
desires without relying wholly on the
discretion of the driver outside. There
are various types of the automobile,
all of which are being constantly i'm
proved. According to the consular re-
ports, "the eventual adoption of auto
mobiles for general use in Paris, as
well as throughout France, seems to
be fOrgone conclusion.
