SHE WAS A TOUGH CUSTOMER
DRUNKEN COLORED WOMAN
FOUGHT LIKE A T1GREss WHEN
ARRESTED.

DRUNKEN COLORED WOMAN
FOUGHT LIKE A TIGREss WHEN
ARRESTED.
The necessity of driveway from
Market street TO the entrance Of the
police station was never more clearly
demonstrated than Saturday night.
Shortly after midnight Officers Da-
wilson and Lyons arrested Stella
Prior, colored, at Front and shipley
streets. She was wildly drunk and
but scantily clad when the officers
took her in charge.
She also proved an ugly customer to
handle, and while being placed under
arrest bit Patrolman Davidson upon
the arm. The patrol wagon was sum-
moned and Stella placed in It. All the
way up Shipley street the woman ut
tered screams which could be heard a
block. She struggled so hard that it
required the united efforts Of three Of
fcers TO hold her in the wagon.
stella's outcries attracted a large
crowd on Market street in front OF
the police station. who were eager to
see the fun.
When taken out of the patrol she
fought like a tigress and portion OF
her clothing came OF, exposing her
person. She was carried into the DO
lice station by several officers and
locked up. During the struggle at the
hall the woman bit officer Lyons upon
the left hand. and kicked right and
left at every one who came in her
way. Citizen Clarence Holt. the we'll
known East Fourth street restaurant
man, rendered valuable assistance in
getting the woman to the lookup.
The sight was disgusting one, and
was a strong argument in favor OF
Chief Dolan's idea OF n driveway TO
the door Of the police station.

extremely delicate one, and although
receiving the best OF attention, Miss
Chambers never rallied from the
shock. Hor father and mother were
at her bedside when death claimed
her, and shortly afterward the body
was removed to her late home, No
1916 Banning street. No arrange
ments for the funeral have yet been
made

SUSPICIOUS THAT STELLA LEWIS
WAS POISONED.

THE CORONER'S INQUEST NOW
PROBING HER MYSTERIOUS
DEATH IN LINCOLN UNIVER-
sITY VILLAGE-NO ARRESTS
YET MADE.
West Chester, July 24.-The mystery
surrounding the sudden death OF the
mulatto girl, Stella Lewis, aged Is. at
Lincoln University village, on Friday.
grows intense under the investigation
OF District Attorney MacBaree. who
conducted hearing Saturday evening.
The case seems to be one Of poison
ing, and the stomach is now in the
keeping Of Professor Miller, OF that
place, who hfts been ordered to make
a thorough analysis Of its contents and
report at q continued hearing to be
held next Tuesday.
At Saturday evenings hearing a bro
ther OF the dead girl testified that his
Aunt Mandy" gave her a piece Of
bread covered with preserves, OF
which she ate only a portion, because
Of its not tasting right. This story the
woman denied, but the district attor-
ney searched the house for poison and
found a vial Of laudanum and a small
can Of paris green.
The girls father was also examined
because OF his having said to the girl
as she was dying; "This is what you
get for testifying against me" she
having been a witness against him in
a recent lawsuit. The man acknowl-
edged having made the remark.
The testimony throughout the hear
ing showed that the girl was well until
after she had visited her Aunt Amanda
Black, with whom her father lives, her
mother being engaged at the seashore.
The girl remained at her home to care
for her brothers and sisters. District
Attorney MacElree is OF the opinion
that the case is one that will lead to
a trial. but no arrests will be made
until after the hearing tomorrow.

THE BIBLE HE DENOUNCED SUR

THE BIBLE HE DENOUNCED SUR
WIVES THE FAMOUS AGNOSTIC.
Dover, July 24.-Ingersoll's life and
acts were the theme of Rev. Alfred
Smiths Sunday morning sermon to
Dover Methodists yesterday.
After relating the fact that Chief
Justice Comegys had debarred the ia
nous agnostic from Delaware because
of alleged blasphemous utteVances M
Wilmington a score of years ago, the
preacher said;
AS a man his home life was almost
perfection He was a model husband
and father, a pure man. Mormonism
never had more bitter opponent. He
loved his country; loved liberty, and
never ceased to defend it. And, too,
he was temperance man, but he vast
ed his life in abusing that great COM
forter of man-the Bible. He denied
it, cursed it and trampled upon it.
Now he has passed into oblivion with
the rest of his class. leaving no reeog-
nized leader of his unjust cause; yet
the Bible lives and is printed in 2eO
languages, and all tongues to-day
praise the Lying God, whose righteous
ness exalteth nations and shines forth
as the Sun"

THE RUBBER INDUSTRY.

III AAQRpIR lNDOOlh1.
Commander Todd says that the one
product of Importance in the whole val
ley of the Amazon is rubber. and the
status of this industry is serious
problem, which he was unable to solve
with the limited time at his disposal.
All Of the river towns are depopulated
lat certain seasons, when the inhabi-
tants go in their canoes into the net
work Of tributary streams to collect
the rubber from the wild trees. No
systematic attempt is made at cultivat-
ing the rubber trees, and the methods
employed by the Indians kill all the
trees operated on each season. There
is a comforting belief extant among
the people that the supply OF rubber
is inexhaustible and that the trees
cover the whole Of the Amazon Val
ley. The officers of the Wilmington
learned enough on the subject 10 feel
sure that there are no immense for
ests of rubber trees. and that they
grow singly or in small groups close
along the banks Of the streams. The
trees closest to the water are being
rapidly destroyed, and how far inland
they may be found no one knows.
Commander Todd suggests that il
would be the part OF prudence for the
governments Of the various states in
the Amazon Valley to take measures
for preserving the forests and cultivat-
ing the trees in plantations in order to
guard against the serious results
which would follow a sudden collapse
of this great industry.

ONE CENT.
A LEGISLATIVE TWIST.
1t Vitally Affects Voting in
Kenton Hundred.
vOTING PLACES TuRNED AROUND


BY INADVERTENcY ON THE PART
or THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
CLAYTON VOTERS MUST VOTE
IN KENTON AND KENToN
VOTERS MUST VOTE IN CLAY
TON.
w. l.. Gooding, principal of the pub
lie schools at Clayton, has discovered
that the late General Assembly made
a terrible blunder in it's attempt to
divide Kenton hundred into two cleo
ton districts and fix two voting places.
Heretofore there has been but one
voting place, which was Kenton.
Voters residing at Clayton and in the
northern end Of the hundred we're
compelled to drive from seven to ten
miles to Kenton to vote. They de-
manded a voting place at Clayton. At
first the demand was ignored. but
when fifty voters banded themselves
together and entered into compact
never to vote until the demand was
granted the politicians realized that
something must be done.
AT the instance Of these politicians
Walter II. Hayes, Of counsel for the
Legislature drew three acts One was
designed to divide the hundred into
two election districts by an irregular
line drawn from the Maryland line at
the Millington road to the Delaware
railroad at Brenford. The northern
part, with Clayton as it's principal
town, was designated as the First dis
trict; and the southern part, with Ken
ton as It's principal town, was desig-
mated as the Second district
Il was the purpose Of two other acts
to name John S. Casperson's Office at
Clayton as the voting place for the
First district, and the hotel Of Sam
uel Fortner, at Kenton, as the voting
place for the Second district.
In some manner these two acts were
tWlstod around and passed. They make
Office in Clayton the vot-
ing place for the Kenton voters. and
Fortner's hotel, in Kenton. the voting
place for the Clayton voters
Mr.. Hayes says that he drew the
laws in blank. and that they were
taken away and changed several times.
He supposes that those who changed
them and filled them in are RESPONSE
bic for the blunder In his opinion the
natter can be adjusted under the gem
eral law, which permits election ofli-
GERS to change the voting places when
arise.
Former Congressman Handy and ex-
Of State Whiteman are
among those who do not share in that
opinion.
It would be a unique spectacle TO
see all the voters from the Kenton end
Of the hundred driving to Clayton to
vote, and those from the Clayton end
driving to Kenton TO exercise their
rights as electors.
