MONDAY. SEPTEMBER IS. 1900,
c. II. WHITE & Co., brokers

G II. WHITE & Co., brokers OF
New York, have been heard from
BY our city authorities. They re-
fuse. point blank, to receive the
bonds after their bid had been ac-
cepted. The whole trouble appears
to be that White & Co., paid more
for the bonds than any of the other
bidders and they concluded that the
bonds would not net them as much
as they first figured out and hence
their refusal to receive the bonds
after they had been awarded to
them. The only thing the city can
now do is to advertise for other bids
and stipulate in the advertisement
that all bidders shall deposit their
check for $500, as an evidence OF
their intention to comply with their
bids tor the bonds. If White u Co.
had been made to put up $500 the
bonds would have been taken and
paid for on the first of the month.
Don't bother with the expense of a
law suit, but advertise for bids and
forever afterwards bar White u Co.
out from bidders. law suit would
cost the city more than advertising
the bonds for sale second time.
This is the first time the city s
bonds have been refused by any
brokerage firm and the flimsy eX-
cuse given does not speak we'll for
the brokerage firm of White & Co.

he was present at the capitulation of

THE outcome of the arrest of the
Halls by authority OF the Clerk of
the Market, Michael Cornell, has
resulted in their bringing suit
against the Mayor and Council of
Wilmington and Michael Cornell.
The case has been placed in the
hands OF Horace G. Knowles, who
will institute suit for damages for
false Imprisonment and malicious
prosecution. The case is peculiar
one. Clerk of the Market Cornell
had rented space in the market,
on King street above Seventh, to
Eli Talley and John Hall. Both
parties paid for the privilege of
standing there. The Halls, father
and son, occupied the space allotted
to them and were arrested and
brought before the Municipal Court.
The suits against them were dis
missed by Judge Ball and Deputy
Judge Cochran, one of the Halls be-
ing tried before each Judge. There
should have been some other way
for the Clerk of the Market to get
out of the difficulty without having
them arrested and made to appear
in the Municipal Court. 1t looks
now as If the city would be put to
the expense of a suit before the diff
ficulties are arranged to the Halls
satisfaction

They Cannee BE -Exeoutsd without
a. Sanction From Washington.
Washington, Sept. lS.-rhe secretary
of war. in response to numerous re-
quests, cabled General Otis regarding
the two men Of the Sixteenth infantry
who, according to the press dispatches,
had been condemned to death In the
Philippines. A reply was received last
night. 1t said that there was third
soldier now about to be tried in con-
nection with the same case, and that
when the court martial was concluded
the papers would be forwarded to the
department..
The two men sentenced are Corporal
Damhoffer and Private Conine, Of the
Sixteenth infantry. Senator Foster, Of
Washington, and many others petit
toned the secretary of war to inter-
vene and prevent the summary execu-
ton Of the sentence. 1t does not ap-
pear, however. that the case, which in
wolves assaults on native women, is
one In which the sentence can be exc
cuted without first being reviewed by
the department. The papers cannot
reach Washington In less than 80 days.
The name of the third soldier involved
has not yet been made public.
