AFFAIRS OF j. STINE & co.
Fruit Growers Near Milford get 3 IL Per Cent
of their Claims, Less Lawyers Fees.

Those who were swindled by J.
Stine & Co., last fruit season, received
checks last week for 81 per cent. of
their claims, less lawyers fees. The
original petitioners in bankruptcy re-
ceived nearly ten per cent. while John
E. Truitt, who was their agent, got
the full amount of the claim-about
$400-as he presented it as wages due
him. His claim took one-third of the
entire amount recovered from J. Slime
& Co.'S. assets. The amount lost bv
berry growers, berry crate manufact-
urers and shippers of eggs, by the
swindlers was about $4,000, and the
amount recovered was about $1,000.
From the sum recovered the costs of
arrests and bankruptcy had to be de-
ducted-also John E. Truitt's claim,
which left practically nothing for the
other creditors. Milford Chronicle.

MUCH TROLLEY TALK WITH
ENCOURAGING CONDITIONS
GROUND BROKEN FOR POWER HOUSE AND
WORKMEN BUSY ON SITE.
Contractor Murphey Talks Very Practical
Before the Committee of the Dover Town
COnnciI-SpeciaI Cars Ordered.

Matters moved last week in trolley
circles and the result attained would
indicate that at least the road is to be
built. Town Council and the trolley
men are now discussing the final plans
upon which the tracks are to be laid in
Dover and other details connected
with the franchise given by the town.
J. Mcleod Murphey, secretary and
treasurer of the company, under whose
direction the line is to be built, stated
to Council OH Monday evening that the
company was now in shape to build
the road and that if no obstacles were
thrown in their way the road would be
completed and i'll operation by the
middle of September.
He promised to deposit in the Farm
er's Bank check for So, 900 as a guar
antee for the building and equipping
of the road in Dover within 60 days,
and declared he would not open a street
until the proper time. He agreed to
pave the roadbed distance of 18 inches
on each side of the track with hard
brick, and keep the same in repair as
long as the road existed. He guaran-
teed the building of road at an ex-
pense of $75O,OOO aud claimed that,
when completed, it would be the finest
road in the country.
President Postles and Councilman
Benson went to Philadelphia Wednes-
day for the purpose of inspecting the
rails which Mr.. Murphy proposed to
use. They found advocates of both
the ''T" and girder rails and also
learned that the Westinghouse and
Brill people both thought that Captain
Murphy would build the road.
LabOrers are busy now grading and
filling in the ground where it is pro-
posed to locate the power house, near
the Camden camp grounds.
The Westinghouse Company, when
interviewed by Dover's Council Com
mittee asserted that the Electric Com
pany was we'll financed and responsible.

DELAWARE DEMOCRAT TO BE SOLD.
Was Partly Owned by the Late Clerk of the
Peace, John B. DOrman.

The entire plant, goodwill and fix
lures of the Delaware Democrat" at
Georgetown, will be sold at public
sale at the Court House door, on Tues
day, June 18th, 1901. The paper was
partly owned by the late John b. Dor
man, who, as Clerk of the Peace
turned nearly all of the county print
ing to it; but since his death the print
ing has gone elsewhere. There are
four papers in Georgetown-two more
than there is business sufficient to sup
port comfortably, and it is probable
that whoever buys the Democrat
will move it to some other field; or.
possibly consolidate it.

Accident TO Denney Caveader.

Denney Cavender, aged years, son
of Mr.. aud Mrs. Thomas Cavender, of
New Castle, formerly of Smyrna, was
among those in the Presbyterian cem-
etery Thursday morning when the dec
oration of the graves was being made.
The lad climbed upon tombstone and
the stone fell on him. His mother
lifted the stone and released her son.
After he was revived it was learned
that his left leg was broken in two
places. The injury was dressed by

STATE DETECTIVE OFFICES.
Steps Taken to Determine the Right of Leg.
isIature 10 Abolish.

Steps have been taken to determine
whether or not the bill passed by the
last General Assembly abolishing the
offices of state detectives, held by Ber-
nard J. McVey and Walter Witzel, was
constitutional. The question will be
decided in the courts in a different
form, but that will be the issue in
volved in whatever is handed down in
the case.
John Biggs, representing Detective
McVey, made application to the court
to have fixed an early date at which ar
gument could be made in the case of
Bernard j. McVey VS.. State Treasurer
Burris, growing out of the refusal of
the State treasurer to pay McVey his
salary.
1t will be recalled that the last
legislature passed an act repeating the
act under which McVey and Witzel
were appointed as detectives. Then
another act was passed, creating the
Office of State detectives. One of the
app ointees under this act was James
P. Ratlege, but the other detective
has not yet been named by Governor
HUM.
Since this act was passed, neither
Detective McVey or Detective Witzel
has received any salary. They claim
that the action of the legislature was
unconstitutional, because of prcvis-
ion of the legislature which sets forth
that "ro law shall extend the term of
any public officer or diminish his sal
ary or emoluments after his election or
appointment" This is found in Sec
tion 5, Article Is. The action they are
about to take is litigation to try to
secure writ of mandamus to compel
State Treasurer Burris to pay them
their salary.
Mr.. Biggs informed the court that
he and Attorney-General Ward had
agreed on the facts set forth in the ap-
plictaion to have the case docketed for
argument at this term. The court
granted the application for disposal at
the May term.
Appended to the application was q
joint agreement of Mr.. Biggs and At
torney General Ward, who represents
State Treasurer Burris, setting forth
that the opinion of the Superior Court
would be final, and as that of the Court
in Banc, and that no writ or error
would issue.
If the court decides that Detective
McVey is entitled to receive his pay, it
will mean that he and Detective Wit
Eel can continue in Office for the re-
naming two years of the term for
which they were supposed to be ap-
pointed. At the same time, it is said
such decision would not affect the
act under which Detective Ratlege was
appointed, but wonld give the State
three detectives instead of two, and
four if another man is appointed.

RAVAGES OF GREEN PEA LOUISE.
Department OF Agriculture Issues a Report
Giving Warning.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued report on the ravages Of the
green pea louise, giving warning that
this insect, one of the most important
of those which ravaged the country
during the past two seasons, will widen
the range geographically and increase
the amount of destruction. Since its
first appearance, in May, 1899, at
Bridges, Va, it's devastation has stead
lily increased, and it has now become
the cause of great loss in the principal
pea growing regions of the United
States. The loss it caused along the
Atlantic coast States in 1899 is estima
ted at $4,000, 900 and in 1900 this had
reached $4,OOO,O 900 by the middle of
June. In some farms in Maryland so
per. cent or more of the crops were
destroyed. Vigorous efforts are max
ing to control its spread, and the Off
cial bulletin gives a detailed descrip-
tion aud means of fighting it.
