st. Peters Church was fairly we'll
hlied on Sunday morning last to hear
the Rt. Rev. Lighton Coleman, S. T..
d., Bishop of Delaware, preach a
sermon and hold confirmation services.
Special music was furnished by the
choir and while the offertory was being
taken, Mr.. J. Edwin Hoffecker rem.
dered a sweet tenor solo. The Bishop
preached a strong sermon from the
text taken from the ninth verse of the
nrst chapter of the First Epistle gen.
eral of Peter: Receiving the end of
your faith, even the salvation of your
souls" There were nine candidates
who presented themselves for confir-
nation, to whom Bishop Coleman di-

EXIT KENT COUNTY TROLLEY.
STEAMER q. F. BRADY CARRIES BACK
TOOLS AND PARAPHERNALIA.
snort Section of Track Built Below Dover
Charter Supposed to be PigeOnhOIed
IN Pennsylvania Railroad Office.

Has all the talk about the Kent
county Trolley Line gone up in
dreams? On Wednesday last Str
G. +. Brady carried back to Philadel-
phla the tools and paraphernalia of the
contractors, including horses, carts
&C. and now nothing remains to carry
on the project so enthusiastically fos-
tered by Attorney-Gen Robert C.
White. A short section of track was
laid a half mile below Dover and this
is all that has been done.
When the agitation started last Fall.
our citizens were assured that the
Trolley Line would be in operation by
summer, and naturally the taking of the
survey caused land owners along the
line more or less worry, to say nothing
OF the litigation involved. Few
thought at the time that trollv line
would pay in this county, aud the re-
turn OF the contractors, gives reason
TO suppose that the trolley has made
its exit.
The Delaware General Electric Co.
says the Milford Democrat. and its
proposed line between Milford and
woodland Beach are both evidently
deceased, or at least they're hiberna-
ting meath the dust that has accumu-
lated DER the few rails and ties thew
laid last spring.
The 'silver spike" which the Hon.
Robert G. White drove with such eclat
at Hayes Hill, amid the plaudits of
kent's yeomen and yeomanesses. is
now Tusting until the nickle plate is
peeling, aud like the rest of the pro-
it looks ragged.
The general impression throughout
the county, is that the mu ch fought
for charter has been pigeonholed some
where. in the archives of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company.

KENT COUNTY OFFICERS.
Frank Reedy of Milford Will Probably be
Named for Sheriff.

The Republicans who now control
Kent county's executive officers saws
the Morning Ne,Os, are looking around
for their strongest men for these Of
fees to be chosen at the county con-
vention at Dover.
According to their plan of rotation
in Office, the lower part of the county
may name the candidate for sheriff. the
most important county office, and
Frank Reedy, it is understood, will be
the nominee. Mr.. Reedy is the Mil
ford man wko ran four years ago on the
Republican ticket and claims to have
been elected by 400 majority, but was
not allowed to take his seat.
East Dover's representative in the
General Assembly may be H. Dexter
Learned, a popular farmer living on
the State road between Dover and
Smyrna. 1t is Little Creeks turn to
name a representative, but there is
considerable dissension there among
the oystermen. The tongers want one
man; the dredgers another. II either
of these are nominated, the Republi-
cans of the district (the Second Repre-.
sentative) fear that the other will be
cut at the polls.
