Mr.. Franz Laup VIII BE Open All
Day To-day, at 1927 Market Street,
For Sale of Flowers.
The demand for flowers yesterday
was most extraordinary, but late last
night Mr.. Frank Laup, of No. 1927
Market street, when seer by a Register
reporter, said hat Notwithstanding the
immense business done he was still
well supplied with flowers and ported
plants, and would be open all day to-
day for the accommodation of custO-
mers who were unable to give their or
ders yesterday. An inspection OF Mi.
Laup's place of business confirmed his
statement of his ability to meet any
reasonable requirement to-day, as there
was, apparently, a tremendous stock of
all sorts of blooms, from the most mod
est flower to the American beauty rose,
while the assortment of lilies and the
smaller plants, bright, however, in
color and high in fragrance, appeared
to be practically without limit, despite
the fact that a large force of employees
were busy filling orders, and packages
were constantly being sent away.
Mr.. Laup is one of the veterans in
the culture and sale OF flowers in this
vicinity, and the display he has made
during the past week has been a very
beautiful one, and at prices well within
the reach of all. His display for to-
day will include lilies, hyacinths, car
nations, ~violets, azailies, roses, and
other specimens of cut flowers, as we'll
as plants in a lare variety, and visitors
are cordially invited to call during the
day. All orders will be delivered, when
requested. just one door north of the
Opera House entrance.

Az to Dog Poisoning.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-The wholesale poisoning OF
valuable dogs on the Island recently as
published in your paper is SO serious
a matter to the owners hat it ought
not to be laid to rest by the publica-
ton of the fact with accompanying in
dignant protests and expressions from
the Wner Such mild methods will
not stay the hand of the canine assas-
sin. Human beings who make a bust
ness of numbering dumb brutes, re-
quire more stringent measures. The
best way to cut short the career of the
dog assassin is through his pocket. If
he be properly mulcted for damages
several times he will conclude the
game is not worth the powder. How
will this big hearted CD specimen OF
our species be reached, you ask?
Easy enough; pay a detective to shad-
ow him and accumulate sufficient evil
dence. 1t has been stated that strych-
nine poison was used in all the cases.
1t ought to be known to everyone that
under the State law, every druggist
is compelled under heavy penalty to
keep a book Of record, open to all prop
er persons, which must contain the
name address, quantity and specific
description of all poisons sold, such as
arsenic, st%rychnine, sugar lead, Blue
vitriol, sulphrate zinc, opium, morphia,
phosphorus, ''rought on rats" oxalic
acid, murricatic acid, nitric acid, prus-
sic acid, carbolic acid, and many
others. So that if the poison were
purchased in this city there can be lit
tie trouble in locating the ~nurchaSer.
If the owners Of the murdered dogs
feel aggrieved over the loss of their
property as they say they do, let them
get together and make up a suitable
purse for the apprehension and con-
viction Of the guilty party, with
damages attached. That is the only
way to get suitable redress and stop
future lawlessness in the same direc-
ton. A SUFFERER.

COMMITTEE.
Landlord to Collect Water Rents.
WHEELING. w. Va. April 5.

WHEELING, Nv. Va, April 5.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: | desire, through the medium of
your Letter Box, to suggest, what
seems to me, an improvement in the
method of collecting the city water
taxes, to-wit: place the tax upon the
owner of the property; then there will
be no delinquent list. 1t will be no
hardship. The landlord will simply
add the amount to the rental value of
the property. The occupant of the
house pays as heretofore. This meth
cd is followed to great advantage in
many cities. In fact the bungling and
unfair manner of collecting water
rents now in vogue in this city is al
most intolerable, because of it's injus-
tice to the honest citizen who pays his
debts.
/ have no desire to reflect upon the
late Water Board. Whether its subor-
dinates executed their duty faithfully
or otherwise is not the purpose OF this
contribution to investigate, but the
change in officers and the contention
between the different sets has been the
cause of giving to the public some very
valuable and astounding information.
For instance, in fourteen years the de-
linquent list exceeds SIS, 900. just
think of such a sum being lost to the
city, or rather to the citizens who pay
their water rents. If that sum had
been collected, as it could be by up to
date methods, we might have our water
rents reduced from 10 to II per cent.
Why not let us have a change for
the better? Seventy-fiye thousand dol
lars saved on water rents would pay
off nearly one-ffth Of the municipal
debt. or pave several miles of streets
in the most approved manner. What
say you, Mr.. Register?
FAIR PLAY.

The Market House Question.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Yesterday morning I noticed
that the roof of the north end OF the
Second ward market house had gotten
in such a condition that it had become
necessary to put uprights from the
pavement to it to hold it in position.
This does not improve the appearance
Of this beautifully structure to any
great extent and does not speak much
for its being very substantial. Why
can we not nave a new and modern
market house instead of this shed?
What has become of the movement
that was started several years ago to
build a new market house?

Prospects for big peach season are
more favorable to-day than they have
been for several seasons. This is the in
formation that comes from Bridgeyille,
the heart of the Delaware peach belt,
and there is much rejoicing in conse-
quence, particularly SO among the grow
ers of the fruit. John T. Gray, railroad
agent in the Sussex town, is responsible
for the information. He says the trees
are set fairly, their buds are well devel-
oped and in fact the trees are in better
condition at this time than for many
years, The danger from frost having
oeen passed, there is nothing to prevent
an unusually large crop of the fruit.

FOUND OLD RECORDS

Some old records were found in the
office of Prothonotary Moore in Dover a
few days ago which are very interesting.
One, well preserved but rudely
bound copy of all the legal proceedings
or common pleas o. Kent county, dated
1850 when the county was under
King George II. 1t contains many cur
ious records which are the sale of the
bodies and souls of white men for debt.
Records of stock marks with diagrams of
parts clipped from the animal ears.
Another interesting record is a general
account of the county of Kent on Della
ware for the year 1874, containing the
names OF all the taxables of the county
together with the sums of them rated
and all the debts due from said county
to sundry persons for that year as also
the public charges. The rate was pence
per E. Many of the names are familiar
and some of them have been so changed
that there is no way of recognizing them
to-day. The total amount of the value
or the value or assessment of each hum
dred is also given.
The records show that the value of all
the real estate in Kent county 167 years
ago was $64, 900.

FARMERS sWINpLED

Farmers in the vicinity of New Castle
have been recently victimized by a
srnooth-tongued stranger, claiming New
York as his home. They are now in
communication with the police of Will
mington. The method was to show a
line of samples of soaps and offer to give
carpets with the soap when a certain
amount was purchased. He carried the
samples of carpets. The farmers bit hard
and ordered the soap, chose the samples
of carpets, had the rooms measured and
ON the solicitation of the man in many
cases he received the whole amount of
the value of the soap ordered. A family
named Blackburn purchased several lots
of soap in order to receive the extra
carpets without cost. The amounts real
lied were from SIS to SIS.

full of buds as last year, some orchards
were badly injured by blight last snm-
mer. Strawberries did not make as
many plants as usual, on account of dry
weather. Raspberries were badly winter
killed so that the crop will be very light.
Some varieties of blackberries, notably

is backward, but the prospect was never
better for fine general crop of tree
fruits of all kinds.
