cows STOMACH FULL OF IRON.
Nearly Two Pounds of 1t Found in the StOm.
ach of a Bridgevile Bovine.

James Mcfarland butchered young
COW owned by John Brown, a black
smith at Bridgeville, yesterday, and
was amazed when the cow was opened
and it was found to contain nearly two
pounds of iron in different sizes, and
several two-penny nails, horse shoe
nails and other scraps of iron. How
the COW lived is mystery, but she did
and was rolling in fat. The COW had
been kept directly behind the black
smith shop, and it is thought she
must have ate them when eating food.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Mcfarland
butchered COW owned by Harrington
Messick, and found several pieces of
money.

perlence. Some time ago he applied to
the Town Council for raise in salary.
Chairman Anthony, of the Light and

posed granting a raise on the ground
that $40 a month was sufficient for
that position. Mr.. Hynson made sew
eral other unsuccessful, attempts
and only remained because he wanted

NO CHANGE OF VENUE FOR LYNN.
The Indictment Stands Against President John
Lynn of New Castle County Levy Court.

The Indictment Stands Against President John
Lynn of New Castle County Levy Court.
The Court of General Sessions. Satur-
day afternoon, refused both motions of
counsel for John Lynn, president of
the Levy Court of New Castle county,
who rests under one indictment for lar
ceny of money from the county and
eleven indictments for obtaining money
from the county under false pretences.
The motions were first, for change
of venue; and second, for the quashing
of the indictments. Levi G. Bird and
Walter HI. Hayes are the attorneys for
Mr. Lynn. The argument of attorney
General HI. H. Ward who scored point
on the part of the state has been favor
ably commented upon. The charges
against Mr.. Lynn have aroused the
public and they are more than anxious
to see how his trial which will begin
December 18th, will turn out in the
upper court. Few trials have attracted
more attention than those of Levy
Courtman John Lynn and ex-Levy
Courtman Harry White. Both men
have procured the best attorneys and
the cases will be the most celebrated
that have taken place in our courts
for wears.

their devotion to the State of their

guests, men famous not only in the
affairs of the Diamond State, but in

'the speaker was in his most happy
! and thoughtful frame and his speech
was one of the treats of the evening.
There was large number of persons
present who had never met DR.. Col
Inns, and it was not an unfrequent
thing during his speech to hear re-
marks asking who the speaker was, and
expressing a wish to meet him. He
moved his hearers to such an extent
that when he took his seat the walls of
the banquet hall rang with applause
! and in a response to a proposition
nearly every man in the room arose
and gave three cheers for the SMYRNA
preacher. In addition to being a
thoughtful and mastery effort, DIR.
Collins address was full of sparkling
wit and humor. During the course of
remarks DR.. Collins said that no class
of persons in this country were greater
friends of liberty than Delawareans.
1t was by their effort that liberty was
vouchsafed to this country, for while
delegates hesitated and doubted about
taking the step, Delaware came forward
and ratified the constitution, which has
proved such a great blessing to man
kind"
