May 10Th, l)0l

IN the Armory last night under the
auspices of the Ladies of Emmanuel
Episcopal Church. The stage
settings were handsomely arranged
and Mr.. Rogers is deserving Of
special praise for his work Of dec
GRAFTON. The stage was used for
rendition of pleasing little drama
by Wilmington talent. Recitations,
duets and solos constituted the
program. Messrs. Lancaster,
Manchester and Cannon were heard
to grand effect Mrs. Vallette, Miss
Buckmaster, Miss Elizabeth Wise,
Mrs. Horn and Mrs. Jesse Work
man were among the soloists. Mrs.
Wheatley recited and the GROWING
feature of the evening was the juve-
nile cake walk by Master Harry
Horn and Miss Katherine Hunter.
Their steps were up-to-date ones
and their attitude during the walk
was as graceful as professionals.
They are but mere tots and at each
fancy step they were applauded.
Frank De Haven Janvier SAYS he
cannot understand how the news.
papers received the Chancellor
decision IN the case Of the T rails,
when no decision has been handed
down. The argument by Mr.. jan
vier was that the T rails would be
injurious to the property; that the
company had no permission to lay
the rails on that side of the road or
street be d and that the Delaware
Construction Company under its
charter had no right to perform
such work. ...
Peter l.. Cooper argued that City
Council had granted permission to
the Electric Railway Company and
that the Delaware Construction
Company was its agent. The T
rails in his opinion were safest and
best and when paved between
would make a nicer road bed than
that where the surface rail is laid.
Chancellor Nicholson said that
there had been some fine points
raised by Mr.. Janvier and wishing
to give an impartial decision he re-
served that decision. In order to
accommodate the counsel in the
case. the decision will be sent to the
Registrar ofChancery, Wilmington.
