BURGLARS.
Five Horse Thieves Rob
Miss Waltz of
$500.

Hagssstown. Nd, March GA bold
burglary took place at an early hour this
morning at the house OF Miss Eliza Waltz
wealthy elderly lady livingin Washing.
ton county about mile south of Cave
town. Five masked burglars entered the
house by beating in the back door with .
fence-rail and carried off about e.. 500 In
money.
Miss Waltz was awakened after mid
night by the noise. A moment later the
her They asked for the money which was
in the house At first she told them she
did not have any money in the place.
They said they knew better and had been
told she kept large sum OF money in tho
house. By threats she was finally induced
to tell where the money was, In bureau
drawer in the room adjoining her bed
room.
The burglars then deliberately proceed.
ed to tie her arms bshlnd her and her feet
with ropes. She was then rolled into bed
and tied fast to the bedposts. Station
Ho!tzman, aged about ten years, q nephew
Of Miss Waltz, was also tied and bound to
his bed. Miss Waltz and the little boy
were the only occupants Of the room. Dur
ing the tying of the victims one Of the
burglars said to another: Harry, keep
your face covered, else the old lady will
recognize you" Three of the men were
tall, two short. Five wore cloths over
their faces, bound around their heads with
binder Irvine. One wore common mask
or false face.
Everything In the -oom was turned
topsy turvy in their search. The money
was found where Miss Waltz said it was
secreted. They took nothing else, and
then left at a. IN.
Marion Houck, a relative, who stays in
the house at night, but was absent when
the robbery took place, returned soon after
the burglars left and released Miss Waltz
ana the boy. Mr.. Houok aroused Miss
Waitss brother-in-law, Mr. Joshua
Honok, living opposite, and couriers were
dispatched after officers of the law.
The general opinion is that the burglars
were residents of that section and were
familiar with the house and know that
money was Kept on the premises.

WITH the corporation act passed
almost unanimously by the Legisla"
sture, it now remains for the Cover
nor to affix his signature. He has
signified his willingness to sign the
act which will be the means of
bringing thousands of dollars into
the State Treasury. Something
evidently has to be done if the coun-
~ taxes are not to be raised clear
out Of sight. The Evening Journal
says of the local option bill:
sin connection with this local OPP
tion movement in Kent county there
is one matter which has not been
sufficiently touched upon. This is
the effect Of such legislation upon
the state revenue. The liquor IL
cense fees constitute an important
item in the state treasury. Prior
to the PRONUNCIATION of the new con-
stitution they were set apart for the
public school fund. Now they go
into the general fund, and from it
the school fund is appropriated. 1t
10 conceded on all hands that if the
question of license or no license is
submitted to the people of Kent
county, the result will be in favor of
no license. If it does, and if all of
the licensed places shall be closed,
there will be a material falling off
in the state revenue. Now the ques-
ton comes, how is this deficiency to
be made up? Surely Kent county
cannot expect New Castle and Sus-
sex counties to do it for her
