Sold Portions Of Two States.

West Chester, Dec. 16.-Stand-
ing near a stone marking the
boundary line of Pennsylvania and
Delaware, and with foot in each
State, an auctioneer today sold a
farm of 9S1i acres, belonging to
Sarah A. Fell.
While the boundary line cuts the
farm in two, yet there is some doubt
as to whether the property is actu-
ally in the State Of Pennsylvania or
in Delaware, because the report of
the Boundary Commission in fixing
the line has never been ratified by
Congress.
Under the circumstances execu-
ton was issued against the Fell
iarm in both States and Sheriff
Robert l.. Hayes of Chester county,
Pennsylvania, and Sheriff Taylor,
of New Castle county, Del, attend
ed the sale, and at the sametime
stood IN their respective bailiwicks.
"Who will give me bid on the
property shouted the auctioneer.
A man in Delaware bid 50 an
acre; then some one standing on
the Pennsylvania side doubled this
sum, and so it contiued until $3l
was finally reached.
"She goes at S31-a fair and open
bid!" concluded the auctioneer.
"All done! All done!"
The property was knocked down
at this price per acre to Ezra Fell,
the principal execution creditor,
and the Sheritfs of the two States
divided the proceeds OF the sale.

Clerk Council has announced his In.
tention OF asking tho Street and Sewer
Department Commission to plac, the
markets on both sides of King and Mad
ison street.
There Is some objection to the plan from
property-owners, who claim tina, the occu-
pancy OF one side OF the street interferes
with the unobstructod use of their prop
eay, while the occupancy Of both sides
would practically shut off the use Of the
street for business proposes. Ihis Is one
OF the matters which would have to be
looked after when change was made, and
Clerk Connell fells confident that ho
could arranged the utfairs so that no one
would suffer.
Here are a number of business men who
claim that the spaces originally intended
FOR tho farmers are now occupied by the
hucksters and traders. They do not
think these people have any right to
occupy the spaces intended for the far
lners

bill to open the Kiowa. ComanchR
and Apachee Indian reservations haiS
caused excitement among the LAND
boomers. For the last year home,

Political Notes,

The present ntoutlook gives promise
of red hot campaign.
Ex-Sheritf William II. Finn will
be a candidate for Representative
in Christiana Hundred.
James b. Toman will be candi-
date for Clerk of the Peace on the
Democratic ticket. He will make
the other candidates hustle.
Representative George Frizzell
will be a candidate for reelection
to the Assembly from the Seventh
district.
John T. Dickey has announced
his candidacy Tor the Democratic
nomination for prothonotary. Mr..
Dickey has been laying low lately,
but will make big fight to capture
the nomination.
Victor h. Woolley will also be
candidate to succeed himself.
Harry Dennigan and Mr. Van
tine are applicants for the position
of postmaster at New Castle which
will become vacant in February.
b. A. Hirzeil who has been en-
gagged as manager for the Amer.
lean Tobacco Company at Tennes.
see, will be a candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor at the Democratic
primaries.
The Regular Republicans are
wearing broad grins al the way the
Union Republican delegation as
received by the National Republics can
Committee at Washington last FRI
day.
The prospects of the two Repub-
lican factions coming together is as
remote as ever. 1t is nuts for the
Democrats.
William B. Clerk, who was the
Union Republican candidate tor
Mayor, at the last city election,
says he does not know what the
future course of the Union Repub-
licans will be toward the National
party, and he does not know wheth-
er they will send delegation to the
Philadelphia Convention. 1t is,
however, highly probable that the
Addicks men will hold their State
Convention and send delegates.
Francis Bradley, Emmet W.
Slldham, Samuel A. Mcdaniel and
several others will be candidates for
the Republican nomination for sher-
itf OF New Castle county.
The next Legislature will have
money to burn. Instead OF 4 bank
rupt treasury, it will be as fat as
the proverbial Christmas turkey.
For this reason it is desirable that
only good business men should he
elected to the next Legislature.
Mr.. Willard salisbury still has
his eye on that vacant seat in the
United States Senate.

Revival at Oxford, Pa.

Miss Scott, a Philadelphia evan
gelist, who has been conducting
revival services in the NE. Church,
at Oxford, Pa, for tnrec weeks,
preached her closing sermon last
evening. The eutire town has been
greatly stirred, over eighty persons
going to the altar, and sixty of
them professed conversion. Among
the number were several men
known as confirmed drunkards and
others who had not been in the
church for many years. The house
was crowded every night and OH
some evenings parties had to return
to their homes being unable to get
inside the door. On one occasion
eighteen men knelt in a row at the
altar. So much religious interest
has not been manifested in that
community for many years.

good place for invalids. DR.. Cooper

ter residence in Phoenix is a great
benefit to invalids, but a summer
residence is a great deal better, as,

the lungs have not been too greatly

his immediate friends feared he
would hardly be able to reach

on December II, we learn that in
the previous week there were sew

owing to storm on the Pacific
coast, although there was no rain
IN Phoenix, indeed it rarely rains
at that place, and invalids did not
venture out to any extent. Clarence

u pounds in weight, after resi-
dence OF three weeks, and he is led
TO believe that he may be thorough
