WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
Had Big Box of Dynamite Ex-
 pIoded.

Five of the office clerks at the Iron Mountain depot are rejoicing over the fact that they are living to- day Especially is this so owing to the fact that they had a narrow es- cape from death Wednesday after noon. If the accident had happened, these busy, hard-working clerks would have doubtless been hard to find
 On that afternoon. while removing a box containing one hundred pounds of stick dynamite to the depot from the store of Fox Bros, on one of their delivery wagons, the box fell off the vehicle near the depot and was burst open. It is fortunate happening that the dynamite did not strike the earth with sufficient force to cause it to explode There is no telling how serious the results might have been had such an accident occurred.

 Against Urah Threet.

The case against Uriah Threet, col ored, who was arrested recently on complaint of a negress named Lottie Johnson, who charged him with as Sault to rape, was dismissed by Esq.

GOVERNOR HUM EXPLAINS.
Regarding His Position on Voters
Assistants.

Governor Hum has sent out the fol-
lowing letter from Dover:
So much has been printed in relation
TO our position on the appointment Of
voters assistants, that while We are
nverse to answering articles of the kind,
in justice to all concerned there seems
no way but this, and we want to remind
our Democratic friends in language we'll
known and often quoted seemingly
thou doSt protest too much" Concern
ing the great scheme so often mentioned
we wish TO say once and for all that no
Republican, Union or Regular, has ever
fy word or intimation conveyed to lis
desire concerning the appointment of
voters assistants or any mention of the
scheme so often referred to.
In fact the very first and only infor-
nation We have had on this subject was
conveyed to us in a letter from Mr. vii
lard salisbury. chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee. Our
firm belief is that the aforementioned
scheme never existed except in the in
terested ina gination Of said committee,
and that in their desire to make political
capital they have simply forecast the fu-
ture by the past. and are surprised
seemingly to find in the executive chair
Il Republican above their self measure
ment who fights fair politically and tric.
10 execute the laws as he finds them.

MILK DEALERS
MAY PROTEST
Object to Standard Provided in
New Ordinance.
WILL SEE COUNCILMEN
Inspector McEviliy Will Oppose Their
Claim and Fight Against Them
for the Passage of the
New Law.
WILL SEE COUNCILMEN

Some milk dealers, it is understood,
propose 70 put up Il fight against the
new milk ordinance and will endeavor
TO have the standard lowered before the
ordnance is passed. Regarding the mat
ter il Is likely that number of milk
dealers will appear before the law com
mittce Of City Council tonight and ask
that the standard BE- lowered before the
ordinance Is taken up for final action by
Council tomorrow night.
The new ordinance provides that there
must hc twelve per cent. OF solids in
milk. Some dealers object to this and
hold that eleven and a half per cent. Of
'olids is Il high enough standard. Pro
fessor Chester Of Delaware College has
siyrn As his opinion that eleven and
4 half is high requirement and II sutil-
icnty high standard.
Milk Inspector McEvilly will oppose
The claims Of the dealers and will fight
for the maintenance Of the standard as
provided for in the new ordinance He
has worked hard TO get such legislation
IN the milk question as is now in shape,
and the new ordinance is entirely to his
satisfaction. Among those who believe
with Mr.. McEvily that twelve per cent
solids is not too high standard Is Pro
fessor Howard j. Osborne, chemist at
The High School. who has complimentetl
the milk inspector on his fight against
milk adultcrntion.
ANOTHER PROSECUTION.
Frederick Schneider of Newport was
in City Court yesterday on the
charge, preferred by Milk. Inspector Nc
Eyilly. Of selling or offering for sale

Schneider and made hard fight for his
client the trial lasting for about two
hours.
Mr. Kurtz closely questioned DIR. Frank
Rnop Smith. the chemist, who made the

method used by him in testing milk. DIR.
Smith testified that he found perceptible
traces of formaldehyde in the sample
which was alleged to have been taken
from Mr.. Schnciders can.
