CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Hest Features OF The Sew
Pile Care.

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all forms
OF piles without one particle Of plin This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
or injurious op!atcs which : IMPLY dcaden
and paralyZe the nerves Of the parts and
make matters worse in the long run But
IT Is done solely by It's remarkable heal
lnE and soothing effects.
>, and while it thus gives immediate re-
mercy checked. but radical cure is ac-
complished
And the point we want to make clear
is that this is done without a particle of
pain.
This fact is ono great reason for the
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure and
constitutes one very great difference be-
for piles
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingiy painful besides en-
danger!ng the life OF the patent and in
most cases Is not to be c3mpared with the
Pyramid Pile Cure. neither in makinc,
successful! cures without pain nor In
cheapness and safety
The Pyramid Pie Cure has been before
the public so long, and It's merits rs-cog-
nlzed ~ too many 2eople TO allow IL 10
be c,assed with tho many salyes. supDos;-
tories. pills. etc. and You run no risi, IN
trying 1t. as il is often the case with mn
tried preparations
If You are ever troubled with any form
of piles or rectal disease do not forget the
Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepared by the Pyra-
md Drug Co., OF Marshall, Mich. and
sold by druggists at 80 cents per package.

NEW TROLLEY
LINE PROPOSED
1t Will Probably Connect Newport
and MarshalltOn With Viii
mingtOn.
SURVEY TO BE MADE AT ONCE
MATERIAL WILL BE PLACED
ALONGSIDE ROUTE AND WORK
WILL BEGIN AS SOON AS RIGHT
OF WAY is SECURED.

This morning the engineer
corps of the Wilmington City
Railway Company began a survey
of the route from this city to Newport,
and thence to Marshallton, beginning
at the end OF the Maryland avenue line
and continuing over the pike to New
port, then across to Marshallton.
This will open up a coun-
try by street car line which, il
is thought, will greatly benefit the
business interests OF the city Of VIII
mington. 1t will give the people OF
that section a better chance to come
TO the city to buy more frequently, and
thus help the business people Of the
city materially.
This territory is now covered by the
Wilmington and Brandywine Springs
Company, and two railroads, the Baltl
more and Ohio and the Pennsylvania.
AS soon as the survey Is completed
the right OF way will be secured and
the line built. Arrangements for the
material have been made. and under
the various charters which il controls
the old company can build the line. by
the builders of this line both Marshall.
ton and Newport viii have three lines
of egress and ingress. The terminus
of the new line will be either al
Fourth or Eighth and Market streets
It is possible that a road will be bull
to connect the various Pennsylvania
towns with this city.
It is said that the BrandywinC
Springs Company does not look upon
the new move with a serious air. 1t Is
claimed that III would he a roundabout
way to either Marshallton or Chester
county, a route consuming half an hour
more than its line now consumes. 1t il
thought that Newport would probably
be benefited but none of the trait,
which now is carried by the p, w. & B
railroad would turn TO the trolley, sine
that road lands passengers in the cen
tire of Wilmington in seven minutes.

POLICE LOOKING FOR LACEY
A FORMER NEW CASTLE MAN
MISSING.

WILLIAM LACEY, EMPLOYED AT
THE CHESTER PIPE AND TUBE
WORKS. LEFT HIS HOME LAST
TUESDAY
The local Police Department has
been requested by the Chester authori-
ties TO assist in the search for VIII
liam Lacey, OF that city, who disap-
peared from his home on Tuesday last
and has not since been seen.
Lacey is % years of age. and former
ly lived in New Castle, but for some
time past has been employed at tae
Chester Pipe and Tube Mills. There
are circumstances connected with his
disappearance that would indicate that
he had either wandered away while out
OF his mind, OF that he has met with
foul play at the hands Of someone who
was not friendly disposed toward him.
While at work at the tube mills on
Tuesday, October H. Lacey was struck
on the head with a brick thrown by
Andrew Riley, a burly colored man
The assault was entirely without
provocation, and Lacey was knocked
senseless. a four-inch cash being cut n
his head, which caused him consider.
able trouble for several days.
Lacey appeared before Mayor JEFF
ferris, of Chester and had Riley arrest.
ed and he was held in $1,000 bail for
upper court Several attempts were
made to settle the case, but Lacey
would say to all who approached him:
You have done all you can for me
There is no settlement"
On Tuesday last, while at dinner
Lacey said he would go to work thai
night. He left his boarding house about
las o'clock, and has not since beer
seen. Ernest Murray, who boarded
with Lacey, at No. 239 Hayes street
said yesterday: II have feared that h'
has been put out OF the way by some
/ one. He has not returned for his
/ clothing and has a lot of It here. HI
/ has not called for his wages at thC
pipe mill, and after waiting for almos
a week | have not heard from him di
rectly or indirectly. This has alarme'

There is a desperate gang of colore'
men in the lower end Of the city and II

CITY SOLICITOR HAS NOT PRO

Up to the present time City Solicitor
Conrad has taken no action in the mat

& Co., of New York, for their failure To
accept thee ity's bonds, purchased By
them.
At a conference between the city So
licitor, the Finance Committee O'
Council and the Sinking Fund conmis
sioners held on Wednesday evenine
September q, it was decided to brin 3
legal action against the New York iirm
for It's failure to take the S24 900 worth
OF city bonds upon which it bid and
which were awarded 20 it,
Mr. Conrad later notified White 8.
Co. Of the contemplated action on th0
part of the city in order that they
might be given every opportunity 90
take the securities. He received no re-
lply to his communication and since
that time the matter has been at d
standstill as Mr.. Conrad has been look
| ing over legal authorities bearing upon
similar cases. Some action. however
will probably be taken between this
time and Wednesday next.
There seems to be a diversity o.
opinion regarding what action the city
can take against the New York firm
lnasmuch as there was no check de

tee of good faith on their part many
/ doubt il they can be compelled 10 &c.
