GOOD BIIIIls TO lmIL.

Speaker of the House Clark has in
tnoduced three b,,s which should be
slrmmarily disposed OF. They abolish
the five commissioners Levy Court eys-
tenn OF New Castle county and substi-
mute an eleven commissioner system
therefor; do away with the road COM
missioners in the several hundreds and
place the maintenance OF the public
roads in the hands Of the Levy Court
commissioners. We do NOT believe
that there is any desire on the part OF
the people OF the county 10 return 10
the eleven commissioner system which
prevailed here prior to the enactment
OF the five commissioners law. Neither
is there any disposition to turn the
roads of a hundred over to one man.
They are miserably administered in
many instances by the road commis-
siones, but we believe that the system
would deteriorate, rather than improve
under the one-man system.

Tapman against Hiram J. Lewis for
$4,000 damages has been transmitted
by Clerk of the Court Francis Henry

Grange, Worcester county, and Mr..
Lewis Is a well-known brick manufao-
turer Of Snow Hill. The plaintiffs dec
laration filed is as follows:
Emma Tapman, by George w. Pur-
nell and Charles o. Melvin, her attor-
neys, sues Hiram j. Lewis for that the
plaintiff and defendant agreed to
marry one another and a reasonable
time for such marriage has elapsed
and the plaintiff has always been

and refused to marry the plaintiff
wherefore the plaintiff brings this suit
and claims the sum CT $4,000 damages
therefor"
The defendant has notified the plain
tiff to produce all the letters in her
possession, and the trial bids fair to be
an interesting one. Mr.. Lewis is rep
resented by Messrs Mills and Stanford

THEY CROSSED TINE snRDEr.

THEY CROSSED THE STREET.
AN kinds of devices have been used
by pecp,e to get across the slushy
streets, but the most unique way the
Wayfarer has yet heard of was used
by three young women school teachers
the other afternoon AT Tenth and
Walnut stredis The slush and water
was neanly eight inches deep. In order
fer the teachers to get home it was
necdssary to cross at that point or
else walk several blocks out of the
way on siTIshy pavements. Two of the
teachers had on rubber boots, but the
other did not. 1T was easy enough for
the two with boots on to cross, but far
the third it was a difficult matter.
Upon reaching the crossing all three
stepped for several minutes. What
they said THE Wayfarer could not hear,
but some plan had evidently been for
muiated. The two with the boots ON
walked across, and the third walked
to a nearby porch and proceeded TO
remove her shoes. While the shoes
were being removed a pair of boots
were being taken off on the other side
Of the street. Then one Of the teach
ers with the boots. on walked back
with a pair of boots in her hand, and
the cne who had taken off her shoes
put them on and crossed. The boots
were returned to their owner. the
shoes replaced and the three proceed

crossed before arriving home the Way
