LEADS A BUSY LIFE.

John L. Scotch an Ice Man, q School
Teacher and a Legislator.
Chester Republican, Aug. Goth.
Hon. John L. Scotch, a member of
the Delaware House OF Representatives
and who has been in Chester all sum
mer connected with the Preston Lake
Ice Co., now the Chester Ice Co., will
leave on Monday for his home in the
Diamond State. He will teach school
there next winter.
Mr.. Scotch has many friends in this
city who admire his industry, and his
home people recognized his ability last
fall by electing him to the Legislature
on the Democratic ticket. The big
fight for United States Senator was on
and Scotten's seat was contested. After
quite a struggle between the three fac
ticns, Democratic, Regular Republican
and Union Republican, Scottep was
declared elected.
He is always busy man and works
here every summer. In winter he
teaches school and now has added 10
his busy life the many duties devolying
upon legislator. These are plenteous
in a quiet State, but they are strenuous
in little Delaware, because of the con-
slant battle for the United States Sens-
torship so hotly contested for by the
redoubtable j.. Edward Addicks.

Hive improvements to the park, which
will add very materially to Its attract
iveness. Some new features will be
added
Mr.. Crook said there was no truth in
the report that the company intends to
build a line to Chester. AS anpounced
some time ago. an extension is to be
built to Kenneth Square and West
Chester. and the projectors hope to
begin the work of building that line
next Monday.
