WE have been told that Superiu.
tendent Twitmyer Of our Public
Schools. have awakened the teach
ers from their Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep and that IL one reason why
the shaking up Of dry boues has
caused so much comment and dis.
satisfaction. AS Superintendent
Mr.. Twitmyer should be upheld in
any commands given to the teachers,
especially as long as they are ia.
vorab.e to the rules made by the
Board OF Education for the man
agement of oar public school sys.
tenn. But there is no reason why
the teachers should be made so
nervous on being brought before
the Superintendent that they be.
come sick after hearing what he
has to say to them. The Superin-
tendent should not ins,ll that fear
that the teachers dread to meet
him. This should not be. Our
teachers are as competent as any
that can be found in other cities.
We do not see any use OF going to
to Pennsylvania to secure teachers.
We have been told that these high
high grade teachers cannot be Sc.
cured in Wilmington. We for one
do not believe it and think with the
proper effort a teacher or half
dozen could have been securedright
here 10 this city to fill any position
that may become vacant IN our
public schools. We know there
are numerous gentlemen in the
Board Of Education who will differ
with us in anything we might say
in relation the public schools Of our
city and the manner in which they
are being conducted. Our public
schools have the name Of being the
best conducted while under the SUI
perIntendeucy OF the late David w.
Harlan and it is strange that they
should need so much overhauliug
in less than three years after
his death. We know it is easy to
find fault but sometimes complaints
are ust aud as we have heard
more complaint than compliments
We give them to the public Tor them
to digest and then draw their own
conclusions as to what is best for
our public schools and the welfare
OF the children attending them.
ANYBODY can guess this kind of
weather. II not clear it is sure 10
be rainy, with symptoms of

a rainy fail and 40 early winter
The farmers who have been fortu-
nate enough to raise crop Of po-
tatoes, corn and oats will have
nothing to growl over. Numerous
fruit growers down the Peninsula
have made money, being fortunate
enough TO have fair crop Of fruit.
The prices have been better this
season than Tor several years, with
small quantities OF fruits and vege-
table on sale.

ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

The rain yesterday afternoon
was heavier than on The previous
! day and as a result the strcets in
this city were badly torn by the
receding water. Riverside Park
was practically spc aking flooded
out. At the foot Of Kelley's hill the
culvert was unable to carry off the
flow Of water and the result was a
washout Of the trolley tracks al
that point.
A trip through, the country shows
that the damage done is consider
able. The culverts different parts
OF the county were unable to carry
off the water and consequently the
roads are left in a wretched condi-
ton.
Near Churchma . farm few people
realized that there was a dam ia
that section aud for years they
drove over the little stream paying
little heed to the existence of Ma
rect dam. Yesterday it was DIFF
ferent for ACROSS the road went the
watef at a depth, Of five ieet. Peo-
pie who five along Red Clay and
White Clay Creexs have been &C
customed to see only water enough
to wade through but yesterday the
water was fourteen feet.
Members Of the trolley car crews
are telling stories Of their expert

consequently the men were drench-
ed as badly as If they were stand

car going to Whining ton few min
utea and when the conductor took
up the fares he informed one gentle
man in answer to a question that
there was no extra charge and then
the gentleman handed the coaduc-
tor So to be divided with his motor
man. AT the Red Lion washout
one we'll known woman determined
not to be delayed and she donned a
pair Of hip boots which she borrowed
from a colored man. Some OF the
car crews waded through the water
and carried over the children. Yes

Charge-Burglary Defendant Con-
cludes to Have Lawyer-Gam-
bling Information Filed.

a barkeeper, over whose head hangs q
charge of grand larceny for the alleged
stealing of $4,000 belonging to his former
employers, was arraigned to plead III
Judge McClernan's court this morning.
He asked that the pleading be de-
ferred, and it went over to Monday.
1t Is said that Tranter. against whom
the authorities have an almost incontro-
vertible case, will plead guilty to the
charge against him with the hope OF Sc
curing a light sentence Nearly all of
the stolen money was recovered. and the
prosecuting officers probably will not
object to a light sentence.
Much sympathy is expressed for
Tranter's wife, who is highly respected
and in nowise responsible for his actions.
The sympathy felt for her may prove
a factor in predisposng the officers and
the complanants in the case to leniency
toward Tranter.

with murder, as an accessory with Pat
rick Hayes. in the McCaine killing,
