COUNTY'S EXPENSES
GREATLY INCREASED

Citizens are wondering what has
.caused am increase OF more than $5O.-
600 in the operating expenses of New
Castle county during the past year, as
there is Mo evidence Of an equal amount
.Cf public work in 1900. as there was in
1899. This condition has been reveal
ed by the report of L. Scott Townsend
and Charles G. Kurtz, vino were APP
pointed special auditors to examine the
accounts of the Levy Court The re-
port says THE total expenditure dur
ing the year for county purposes was
S36l ,4S9.66. Dedueting, however. $34
000 paid Gin bends we find the achlal
total expenditure to be $327 .6G. The
total expenditure for ali purposes dur.
| ing tha eyar 1899 was S43O .2G2 .93, and Il
we deduct the 100000 for the new
w0rNaouse loan, and the S55. 800 pait
ON THE Court House loan. we find q bah
ance of s274,462.93 as the general ex.
lpenses for county purposes for thaI
year, thus showing am increase Of ex.
lpenditure during 1900 OF S53,02673 a.
compared with 1899.

RACE RIOT ON
RAILROAD TRAIN
Stanton Man May Forfeit Life
As Result
TWO OTHER MEN SLASHED
Battle Between Negroes and White
Men on Train Leaving This
City at Midnight

For participating in race riot on n
railroad train, August Hamilton, a
young blacksmith of Stanton, may lose
his life as the penalty He is lying in
his home, suffering with wounds in his
stomach and arms, and his life is de-
SPARED Of
The trouble occurred on Saturday
night on train No. 3, of the Pennsyl-
yania railroad known as the midnight
accommodation due in Stanton at
1890 a. m Shortly after leaving this
city a crowd Of disorder.y colored peo-
pie from Christiana and several white
men OF Stanton became involved in an
alteration. For a time violent Ian
guage was used and some blows were
exchanged. Upon arriving in Stanton
however. a general fight ensued and
knives, pistols and razors were freely
used by the negroes.
1t is wonder that many people
We're not killed outright or seriously
injured. The train crew did its best
to que1 the riot but was powerless tc
bring about even a semblanee of order
and passengers We're badly frightened
Young Hamilton seems to have been
in the thick of the fray, and came out
of it with a deep knife wound in his
stomach and was badly slashed about
the arms. Wilson Currinder was cut
about the arms and in the back, ant
John Currinder also received deep cut
in the back and arms, which, however
are not considered serious. Both tn,
Currinders. as well as Hamilton, liyl
in Stanton. The latter was removed tx
his home. and DIR. f. j. Springer sum
moned to dress his wounds. Serious
doubts as to his recovery are enter
tanned.
These brawls on the late train out o
this city to Stanton have become rathei
frequent, and steps will be taken t
prevent them in the future. if possible
Warrants have been sworn out for thl
arrests of the offenders, and placed il
the hands Of Constable James F. Por
ter.
