KENT COUNTY.

William g. A. Bonwell, D. D.s., who died
in Philadelphia on Sunday, Sept. "a, was
born in Camden, near Dover on October A,
1888. From his earliest childhood days he
displayed astonishing inventive faculty and
patient industry in experimenting. While
practicing the profession Of dentistry in his
native town he found time to attend the
Jefferson College in Philadelphia and broad
ened his education. He invented the dem
tai engine in 1868. The surgical engine
was set to work by him in 1862. The cleo
tro-megnetic mallet for filling teeth was
produced by his fertile brain and skillful
hand in 1869, and the mechanical mallet in
1873. What was considered his greatest
discovery in some respects was that relat-
ing to the articulation of the human jaw.
During seven weeks before his death Dr..
Bonwell suffered from acute uraemic
poisoning.
The Kent county trolley war is still on.
Attorney General White has begun pro-
ceedings in New Castle Co. Superior Court

proceedings. No Jurisdiction In N. g. says
