A COWARDLY ASSAULT.
Tne Residence of George Ireland, in West
Smyrna, Attacked Saturday Night
and Money Stolen.

An outrage was committed at the
residence of George Ireland in West
Smyrna on Saturday night last,
that deserves the sternest action of the
law, if the culprit can be found. A
large piece of wood was hurled through
the window where Mrs. Hackett. his
mother-in-law, and daughter, Fannie,
were sitting (the blind being DOWN
and three pistol shots were fired. the
balls hitting sill near where they were
sitting. Mrs. Hackett picked up the
lamp and started up stairs, but tripped
and fell in her fright and tainted.
There was of course CONSERVATION in
the hOushOld, but Mr.. Ireland could
find no one on coming down stairs and
making a search.
Before making the assault on the
house, the party lifted the window and
slipped a pocketbook containing 81. 25.
They believe they know who the party
was, but haven't the proof.

FORTY YEARS FAITHFUL SERVICE.
Mr.. Joseph Wright Relinquishes His Office
In st. Peters Chu,Ch.

Mr.. Joseph Wright, who has been
sexton of st. Peters Episcopal church
for period of forty-one years, has at
last relinquished the Office and is sue
ceeded by Mr.. John Harris. While it
is his own request, as we understand,
to be relieved of the duties of a sexton,
his long term of connection with st.
Peters as parishoner, vestryman and
warden, makes him a notable Gland
mark in the parish.
In his retirement, he is entitled to
that recognition which such long and
active participation in parochial affairs
entitled him, for there are few who
have the opportunity to serve their
church so well. Mr.. Wright is more
catholic than most men, and there is
not man in the community, we think,
who has not the kindliest feeling for
him.
The following is the official act of
the vestry of ST. Peters Episcopal
church:
SMYRNA, DEL, Jan. %, 1900.
At meeting of the Vestry of st. Peters
church, the following resolution was passed
on the resignation of Mr.. Joseph Wright
WHEREAS, Mr.. Joseph Wright feels
obliged to discontinue his duties at st.
Peters church, owing to the infrmities of
age. Therefore be it
ResOIUed, That the Vestry of st. Peters
freely express their regret at his departure,
after so long and faithful service As a
further token of their appreciation. it shall
be spread upon the minutes, copy presen-
ted to Mr.. Wright, and copy given to the
local papers for publication.

THE GROVE AT BELMONT.
The Mild Weather Has Brought Back the
Feathered SOngsters.

The grove at Belmont Hall'
swarmed Sunday with robins that had
been allured from their retreats further
South by the recent mod crate weather.
They were as joyous and merry as if it
had been in April. We rememember
the same thing occurred the latter part
OF last January when they were as
abundant and merry in this grove as on.
Sunday. The next day it showed, and
February it will be recollected, gave
us the deepest snow and the most pro-
longed cold weather we have had for
several years. The robins suddenly
disappeared and did not return again
for nearly two months. Birds and
beasts are said to be governed by in
stinct, but they were certainly as wide
OF the mark last winter, as is the goose
bone weather prophet in his guesses.

William Jennings Bryan, the Demo-

the only town outside of Will
mingtOn in Delaware, where he has
time to make a speech, such is the de-
mand on his time. 1t is an honor that
we feel will be appreciated by our citi-
zens, because it will bring to our town
from central Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, an immense throng
of people,
The program is to be in the hands of
the County Committee and it is nat
ural that L. Irving Handy will preside
at the meeting here and introduce the
speaker. There will be committee of
hundred to meet Col. Bryan on his
arrival at Clayton on the noon train
(NO. 45) Friday. His intentions are to
come straight through from Harris
burg, meet the Democrats of Kent
county, make speech at 2 O'Clock and
will leave Smyrna on the 3.41 for Will
mingtOn to be entertained there. If it
is clear weather, Col. Bryan will de-
liver his speech in open air at the
-Four Corners. :" If stormy, the
Opera House will be used. Music for
the occasion will be furnished by the
Dover band. Reduced rates have
been made for all points on the Penn
sylvania Railroad south of Middle
