THE WARM WAVE MOVES OFF
May-iike Weather Takes it's Place
and Suffering Population
Feels Better.

Quite as the forecasters had guessed,
the warm wave or hot wave that boiled
ana broiled and baked this city and
other parts OF the country from sunday,
til! Yesterday at noon, hae gone on ahead
to wait for July and August to catch up
with it. There may be more warm
weather coming soon but, for the pres
eat at least, theIfofecast-rs hold out hope
that it Wilt stay cool. It may even BE-
come cooler.
there were storms in the air and fresh
amelorating oreezes. Il the storms came
and we're followed by breezas we would
feel better TODAY, the iorecasters said.
Well, the lain did not come, but the
wind blew even as the meteorological!
sharps had surmised, and the relief that
ensued was greatly appreciated by pop
ulation that had been suddenly surprised
with summer before it got through will
spring.

The Wilmington City Company claims
exclusive right to the use OF the streets
Of the city.
A copy of the restraining order wae
served on John 7. Almond president OF
the new company late yesterday after
noon.
A lot Of ties had been dep sited on
/ West Sixth street and preparations We're
in progress to push the work of tearing
up the street. All work will now be
stopped until after the hearing or
May %.
The restraining order was not sur
prise to the officials OF the new company
and they are prepared to fight for theil
rights under their franchise obtained
from the Street and Sewer Department
on Tuesday.
The new company expected to begir
work at Seventh and Buttonwood streets
and Greenhil! and Lancaster avenues al
once.

TRUSTED FRIEND DID NOT
PAY LEWIS LODGE FEES
Kept the Money, Hence the Brake
mans widow Will Lose $4,000
Which Would Otherwise
Have Come From
A. o. u. w.

A we'll known young man IN tins city
bv neglecting to pay the lodge dues OF
Walter H. Lewis, who was killed in the
west yard last Saturday night, after
money had been given to him for that
purpose, will probably be the cause of
Lewis widow losing $1,000 which she
would have received from the lodge had
the dues been paid.
Lewis was brakeman on the p, w.
& B. railroad and a member of Delaware
Lodge, A. o. U. w. For the past several
months instead of going to tine lodge and
paying his dues himself he gave the
money to this young man, who was
member of the same lodge, to pay for
him.
1t now turns out that the young man
neglected to pay the dues and as result
Mrs. Lewis will lose the $4,000, which
she would have otherwise received, as
her husbands death benefit from the
lodge. Lewis did not know that the
money had not been paid until severa
weeks before his death, when he re
ceived notice from the lodge stating
that his dues were several months in ar
rears. Lewis never said anything about
the affair, as he did not care to injurt
the young man.
Parties at Lewis late residence, No
l5t1 Lancaster avenue, admitted to {
representative OF TnE SIN last night TIL,
facts as stated above, but refused to Civ
the young mans name. Friends Of this
dead man will probably lay the facts 0
the case before officers OF the lodge i'll
lew days. The young man has left thi
city and is now living i'll Philadelphia.

FISHING IN PARLEY's CREEK

A wrong impression appears 20 pre-
vail concerning the right TO fish Ia Par
ley's canyon creek. II has been stated
that the stream win be open for fishing
IN June OF the present year. Prepare
lions are being made by many persons
to avail themselves OF this privilege,
and residents In the canyon anticipate
q great many visitors. We think all
these parties are doomed to disappont-
ment. The statement that has been
published concerning the opening Of the
season Is mistake.
Under the FISH and game laws OF the
state. the fish and game warden and
the county commissioners are author
ized to reserve for a term OF not longer
than four years. a stream. lake or pond
In each county FOR the purpose Of
planting. breeding and propagatlng
fish. The warden and the commission
ers Of this county, acting on this au-
thorlty, closed Parley's canyon creek
IN 1897 for this purpose. The time Of
the reservation win not expire until
June. 1901 II is made a mlsdemeanor,
and thus punishable by fine and Inn
prlsonment, for any person TO FISH In
that stream until that date. The fish
and game warden. however, is permit
ted 10 take FISH out Of the stream for
breeding purposes; all other persons are
forbidden to fish IN those waters,
There was some talk about reopen
ing the stream during the present year,
and this perhaps gave rise to the report
which was published In a morning
paper But the county commissioners
have not made any change In the regu-
latlon which they established, and have
not any intention OF doing so at present
The public, therefore. should UNDER
stand that the rule which has been
posted at different places In Parleys
canyon for long time is still In force
and VIII probably remain so Tor more
than a year In the future. The preserya-
ton and propagation OF FISH are neces-
sary to the general welfare Of the state,
and al regulations Tor that purpose
should be carefully complied with.
