ANOTHER SHORT SESSION
BUT TWO CASES BEFORE JUDGE
BALL THIS MORNING.

There was another short session Of
City Court this morning, as only
two prisoners appeared before Judge
Ball.
Patrick Kennedy, whose face has
been familiar one in the prisoners
dock for number of years, again
faced his honor today.
Patrick was charged with disorderly
conduct by his wife, Margaret. She
stated, although the court had repeat
edly ordered her husband to stay away
from her house, that last night he came
to her residence at Fifth and Spruce
streets while intoxicated and broke
the door in.
In his defense Kennedy said his wife
had struck him on the head with a
stick Of wood, but Arthur Donnelly. his
witness, testified that Mrs. Kennedy
did not strike her husband before he
had forced an entrance into the house.
Patrick asked the court to permit
him to depart, saying that he would
not trouble Margaret again. Judge
Ball stated that he had made that
promise many times before and i'm
posed fine Of S. and costs.
Philip Cooper, the 10-year-old color
ed bOy VINO ran away frOm his home
in Philadelphia yesterday and walked
to this city. was brought before the
court Philip is a we'll dressed and
bright looking lad. He stated that his
mother was "out at service" and that
he boarded with other people, who beat
him because he went out to play. He,
with two other companions. ran away
yesterday morning at o'clock and
walked to Wilmington, arriving here
lat G o'clock last night. They intended
to go to Boston, where one of the other
boys had an aunt living. Upon arriv-
ing at Wilmington he became scared
and wanted to go back.

events Of the season. The chase ex-

the exception that Leone. a hand some
hound, fell and broke his leg Cally in
the hunt. The party was out, but q

started and went OF at breahne * pace.
After a short run the fox wer t under
the home of a colored man. which was
built on piles. The hounds were soon
howling about the house, and the old
negro came out to find out the cause
of the excitement. The hunters were
fast approaching, and when one or
them rode up to ask for a drink he
found the man on his knees. praying
loud and earnestly. When asked what
was the matter with him he explained
that he thought he was about to be

OF GLAZED KID TEN PER CENT.
Nearly all the morocco manufac-
turers Of this city will attend the semi
annual meeting of the Morocco Manu-
facturers' National Association, which
will be held at the Hotel Bellevue,
Philadelphia, next Thursday. General
]. Parke Postles will be one of the
speakers at the banquet, which will
follow the business meeting.
Henry Burk, of the firm OF Burk
Brothers, Philadelphia, is president of
the national association, and will pre-
side at the business session, which will
be convened at II a. m. Topics relating
to the trade will be considered, and it
is probable there will be discussion
regarding the prices of raw material in
connection with glazed kid.
For some time past the prices of all
classes of goat skins have been going
up. 1t is said the glazed kid industry
is very brisk, and that where former
ly nearly all the glazed kid used here
was imported from France, American
manufacturers are now shipping to
England, France and Germany more
glazed kid than has ever been import
ed annually to this country. The raw
goat skins, which are imported come
from Brazil and other South American
countries, Russia, Africa and India, the
last named country supplying about
one-fifth Of the skins imported. Owing
to the Increased demand, the raw ma
terial has advanced in price, and the
manufacturers have advanced the price
of glazed kid about 10 per cent.
Philadelphia Is the centre of mo-
rocco. manufacturing in the United
States, about 80 per cent. of the glazed
kid manufactured in this country being
made in that city. The other estab-
lishments are chiefly in New York,
Wilmington, Newark, ~ J.;y Glenside,
N. Y, and Boston and Lynn, Mass.
Following the business meeting the
visiting members of the national asso-
citation will be the guests of the Phila-
delphia Morocco Manufacturers Asso-
citation at banquet at the Hotel Belle
vue, at 3 p. m. Covers will be laid for
about 125, and among the speakers, be-
sides General Postles, will be Mayor
Ashbridge, ex-Mayor Warwick. Henry

Argument before Chancellor Nichol-
son on the application OF the Whining
ton City Railway Company for an in
junction restraining the Wilmington
and Brandywine Springs Railway
Company from building its line on
Sixth street was resumed yesterday af-
ternoon.
Willard Salisbury, for the complain
ants, attacked the validity Of the VIII
mington and Brandywine Springs char
ter and said that the line had not been
built to its terminus, and in that re-
spect the provisions of the charter
were not complied with. Wooden rails
had been used in the construction and
these were insufficient Mr.. Salisbury
read the contract between the two COM
panies, in which the Brandywine
Springs Company agrees to deliver cars
at the city limits and then to be run
over the Wilmington City Railway
Company's tracks by the latter's em-
ployes to Fourth and Market streets.
In the agreement the Brandywine
Springs Company promises not to lay
tracks within the city for twenty-five
years.

had been given TO the Wilmington City
Railway Company by the Street and
Sewer Department for the use OF
Sixth street.
William S. Hilles, for the Whining
ton and Brandywine Springs Company,
began argument for the defendants
this morning. Mr.. Hilles argued that
by Interpretation of the language Of
its charter, the Wilmington City Com
pany had no exclusive grant Of the
use of streets within the city Of Will
mington, nor exclusive right to oper-
ate within. It was also the language Of
tho charter. MIR. Hilles said. that the
company should use horsepower.
Electricity. when the charter of that
city company was granted, was not
known as a motive power, and even il
the Legislature had itnended to give
to the complainant an exclusive right
as claimed by it, under the constitu
tional provision requiring that no ac
or incorporation should be enacted
without a reserved power OF revocation
| by the Legislature. which power O.
revocation the Legislature has in th'
case Of the defendant exercised, as wei
as in other instances.
Mr.. Hilles also said that the com
plainant has from time to time acqui
esced in the construction and operation
of other city railways, and is now. II
fact, engaged in the operation Of othei
city railways; that the defendant IL
authorized by its charter to do th'
things complained Of. but only th'
state could complain if the defendant
has In all things complied with iti
lcharter. Mr.. Hilles went on to say thai
the complainant is estopued by its con
tract under seal with the defendau
from denying its corporate existence
