BLIND sTAGGERs

A fatal disease is attacking many horses
throughout Kent and Sussex counties
and a number of the farmers have lost
some of their most valuable animals
Within the past fortnight at least fifty
horses have died between Harrington and
Milford, the vicinity of Houston being
particularly unfortunate. The disease
seems to be both blind staggers and cere-
bro-spinal meningitis, and the animals
are violently ill and die as if poisoned,
Sometimes they are seized while eating,
when they start to whirl around until
they strike building or tree, which
blow causes them to fall. Sometimes the
fall breaks their neck. 1t is the general
opinion of a number of veterinarians that
the trouble is caused by the fodder and
corn used in the neighborheod, which
has not been properly seasoned, owing to
the irregular rains, One suggests that
change Of food should be made from corn
to oats, ground feed and timothy hay, in
order to save the liyes of the animals.

his removal to the home adjoining the
Jail at New Castle by having delightful

decorated for the reception, and during
the entire evening a host of guests
swarmed through the house,
Visitors came from all parts Of the

CHrNcorEAeUrs WILD MAN

The wild man of Chinceteague Island
has again made his appearance, and
women and children are again being ter
rorized by the mysterious parsonage.
Almost all male residents of the island
are engaged in the oyster business, which
necessitates their absence from home dur
ing the autumn and winter months.
Consequently, women and children are
the only residents on the island.
Last winter what was termed a wild
man struck terror to the hearts OF women
and children by prowling about during
the night. That he was in search
plunder was evident from the fact that
hen roosts were raided nightly, and often
pig-pens were robbed of their occupants.
The depredations continued until the re-
tuIn of the oystermen, when they ceased,
The nocturnal prowler was not seen
again until the past autumn.
The much talked of wild man is be-
lieved by many to be none other than a
demented sailor who wandered away
from his cabin two years ago. Since the
disappearance of the sailor, women re-
siding on various parts of the island have
been molested by some mysterious being
who has been termed wild man.

LEWEs, NEW PIER

Bids will be asked for by the Queen
Anne's Railroad Company for building a
pier for that comanpy at Lewes, it hav'
ing been impossible to reach any agree
ment with the Philadelphia and Lewes
Transportation Company towards laying
its tracks on the new pier of the latter
company. The trouble between the two
companies seems to be over the establish
ment of line of steamers to New York,
which the Queen Anne's Company is an
xious to have control of, in order to Sc
cure a short route to the great city, but
the transportation company is strongly
opposed to the other company securing
any of its privileges. The handsome
steamer Virginia has just been purchased
by the Queen Anne Company for use on
the Cape May Lewes route.

NEW CHARTER FOR WILMINGTON

The committee to prepare charter for
the city of Wilmington, to be passed
upon by the Legislature at its present
session, has completed its work and has
submitted its report to the Board of
Trade together with some supplemental
propositions not incorporated in the bill.
The main purpose of the charter is to
unite all branches of the city government
into one compact whole. The CITY
Council will practically be the only legis-
lature body, and the various departments
will be in charge of directors, who will
be responsible to Council and the Mayor
for their action. The heads of these de-
partments will compose an executive
council, which will act as cabinet to the
Mayor. Instead of twelve wards the citv
will have five wards corresponding to the
representative districts. From each ward
two members of Council will be elected
and from the city at large five. Council
will have the sole power to grant fran
chises. The Mayor will continue to have
the veto power.
