SMYRNA AND ITS VICINITY.

special correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
Smyrna, Sept. 6.
II present conditions continue, the citizens
OF Kent county will be compelled to or.
game a reform League. When the Demo.
Gratis relinquished control of county affairs
70 the Republicans, last March, the treasury
contained vi, 500, and considerable money
was owed by the tax collectors. During the
last si4 months, the Republicans have spent
tnls sum, besides the funds collected mean
while. The Levy Court last Tuesday dis.
Scussed the county's finances, and decided to
borrow 5000 What disposition was made
OF the VI, 900 left in the TREASURY by the
have been paid. The condition of affairs il
alarming, as the following bills are owing
sheriff Reedy, $4,000; Silver Lake bridge.
Sa,UVui Lelpsic bridge and Bombay Hook
road, 81, 900 each. In three years, the Demo-
Gratis paid $4,000 of the county debt and left
sll 600 in the treasury.
y. The Democrats and qood-thinking Repub-
.lcans approve the action of the Levy Court
in deferring work on the Bombay Hook
ROAD. The fight for stopping the waste of
the county money was led by Lew Court
man Mabrey, Democrat, of Kenton hun
dred, while Levy Courtnan Boggs, Repub-
lican, OF Duck Greek hundred, wanted to
continue the work, regardless of the expense
One.ot the Republican members was absent
and Mr.. Mabrey was backed up hy his fonr
democratic associates, while the other three
Republicans sided with Mr.. BogRs. There
being no tie, the Republican clerk of the
peace had no vote. The Democratic mem
bers of the Levy Court have protested from
the start against the waste OF the county
funds, but until last Tuesday were always
outvoted, and 1t would have been the saTne
case then, had not a Republican member
oeen absent, which gave the Democrats
majority.

SPEED OF DoGs.

Comparatively few people realize of
what remarkable speed dogs are capable.
Some remarkable statistics in regard to
this have besn gathered by M. Dusoler,
a French scientist.
After pointing on the marvellous en-.
durance shown by little fox terriers who
follow their masters patiently for hours
while the latter are riding on bicycles
or in carriages, he says that even
greater endurance is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between 80
and 60 miles in one night, and an
arctic fox can do quite as well, il not
better.
Nansen met onc of these foxes on the
ice at point more than 20 miles north
west of the Sannikow territory, which
ls $50 miles from the Asiatic coast.
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel 40
miles on the ice in i've hours, and there
is one case on record in which team
of Eskimo dogs travelled six and half
miles In go minutes.
According to M. Dusolier the speed Of
the shepherd dogs and those used for
hunting ranges from 10 to 10 yards a
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt Mt the rate OF Is to 10 miles an
hour, and they can maintain this speed
for at least two hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift,
as ia proved by the fact that dog Of
this breed once beat a thoroughbred
horse covering for miles in six minutes
and half, which was ut the rate Of
nearly Is yards a second.
Greyhounds are the swiftest of all
four footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded MS equal to that OF
carrier pigeons. English grey hounds,
which are carefully selected, aud which
are used for coursing, are able to cover
at full gallop space between Is and 90
yards every second.
How great an achievement this il
may be judged from the fnct that a
thoroughbred horse rarely. if ever, ex-
cesds 10 yards. Moreover, it is said
that hare at its greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate OF IS yards,
h These interesting statistics are ex-
citing much comment among snortsmen
and other lovers of dogs, and the
opinion is unanimous that M. Dusolier
has fully proved the right of the grey
hound to rank as the swiftest of the
quadrureds. Express engines only sur
pass them.

MIR. and Mrs. Beexmer Are Happy.
: Charles +. Beckmer and Miss Bertha e.
dordon, youthful couple, who said they
Ssfe from Franklin county, Pa, came TO
wilmington, Thursday and were married
at the parsonage OF Asbury Nj. E. Church
by the pastor, the Rev. H, s. Dulaney, but
not until after many obstacles had CON
fronted them and caused them much an
noyanoe. Each has youthful appearance
bride as IL.
According 10 a statement made by Beck
mer while he was here he and the young
woman went to Camden. N. j., Thursday,
heing informed that they could be married
there without a license. Upon arriving in
camden they learned that they had been
misinformed. as the New Jersey law re-
quires a license and couple cannot be
married within the limits of the State, ao-
cording to good authority, unless one OF
the parties to the contract is a resident or
some substantial citizen is willing to vouch
Ior them' Here was trouble for the franklin
county couple
They had heard that in Wilmington
marriage license was not necessary and i'm
r m,euiately started Tor this city. Upon ar
irving here they sought clergyman, but
were informed that they must have a
license, and were directed to the Court
House. IL was about O'Clock in the even
ing, and, OF course, the Court House was
not doing business at that hour, being
closed. Then the office of Magistrate Hollis
was visited, but he had just sold his last
license, which caused the would be groom

late his days experience. He was directed
to the, office Of Magistrate Sasse, where he
succeeded in obtaining the license.
Arriving at the parsonage OF Asbury
ohorch, the young couple found three

and, after the other ceremonies were per.
formed, their turn came. and they were
united In the holy bonds of matrimony and
went their way rejoicing.

THE REFORM MOVEMENT.


County Grange Appoints Committee to
Cooperate With the Citizens' Commit
tee.
Pomona Grange of New Castle county,
an organization representing nearly all
OF the farmers in the county, decided,
by unanimous vote. at it's quarterly
meeting at Hockessin, Thursday after
noon, to join hands with the citizene'
organization OF Wilmington in working
Tor reform in the management OF county
finances, and the following committee
was named by the grange 10 cooperate
In the work with the committee to be
named by the Wilmington organization !:
Richard g. buckingham, o. W.
Eastburn, DR.. A. 4. Neale, Arnold
Naudain, Jr., and Heryey Walker.
As a matter of fact, the grange has
had the natter under consideration for
year and plans have been discussed
at several meetings during that period.
The subject first received serious CON
sideration by the farmers organization
at the meeting held at Union early last
fall, shortly after Every Evening had
exposed some of the peculiar county
financial methods. 1t was decided at
that time that something should be
done and it appeared to the grange that
1t was incumbent upon that body to
act. And there was no division Of
sentimbnt among the members; at least
there appeared TO be none. The matter
came up at subsequent meetings, which
were held at the West Brandywipe hall
at Eockessin and in this city, and 1t
10 a-snatter of history that the proper
State officers were asked by the Grange
to make an investigation.
The Erangers felt very much en-.
Outraged when they learned that an
organization of citizens of Wilmington
was about to be formed for the purpose
of devising ways and means for reform,
and at the meeting yesterday afternoon
Arnold Naudain, Jr., spoke of the
mogementin Wilmington, and it was
on bis suggestion that the grange de.
oided to act with the people of Will
mington and the committee was ap-
pointed.
While the matter was under dis.
cussion several members spoke OF the
existing evils aud commended the
people interested in the movement in
Wilmington for the stand they have
taken and for their aggressiveness. 1t
appeared to be the unanimous senti.
ment that the grange will lend all of
the support possible In the interest OF
the movement.
The committee, which is omposed OF
substantial citizens. will officially in
form the Wilmington committee Of its
appointment adm place itself in readi-
ness to cooperate in the work at once.

MEN PEppERED WITH SHOT.
John c. Story and Thomas Davis vIotir
of an Accident.

John G. Story and Thomas Davis Victims
of an Accident.
The Baltimore Sun publishes the fol-
lowing story of the shooting of John O.
Story OF Baltimore, brother OF Charles
L. Story of this city;
AS the result of the accidental dis
charge OF shotgun one man is at the
University of Maryland Hospital with
his right eye so badly injured that it is
thought he will lose it, and another Is
suffering from number OF shot wounds
in his left arm ard one in his forehead.
The man with the injured eye is John
q. Story, VINO lives at No. 1888 West
Franklin street, and the man who is
hurt in the arm is Thomas Davis of
No. 300 South Calhoun street.
Davis, Story, Johu j. Kessler, who
lives at No. 240 South Calhoun street.
brother of Kessler and Wesley Live
say of No. l0S South Fulton avenue
yesterday morning went to Hopkins
fishing shore, on Curtis Creek, oprosite
Flood g, to 81 end couple Of days.
After reaching the shore Kessler,
his brother and Livesay went out in a
rowboat. taking gun with them, to
see what the outlook was for birds.
They were out some time and had
started for the shore when they we're
seen by Davis and STORY, who got into
boat to row out to meet them. As
the two boats met and the second boat
turned to make for the shore again they
bumped into each other, with the result
that the gun which was held between
the legs Of John Kesser was dis /.
charged, the load striking both the
occupants of the other boat.
The wounded men we're at once
taken tc the Office OF DIR. Thomas g.
Horton, at Curtis Bay. He did what
he could TO relieve their suffering and
got most of the shot out OF Davis
arm, but saw that Story not only had
several shot in the face, but one In his
eye, and ordered him to proceed at
once to a hospital, so that an effort
might he made to save the eye. Story
was then placed on car md taken to
the hospital by Kessler's brother.
The injured men assured the doctor
and Patrolman Mewshaw of Curtis
bay that the shooting was due TO an
accident, for which they were rs much
TO blame as the kesslsrs. There was
report that the affair had been the
result Of a fight, and the officer ques-
toned the men closely on that point,
but they insisted that there had been
nothing of the sort.
All OF the persons concerned are old
friends and frequently made trina
together. John j. Kessler, who had
hold of the gun, was greatly distressed
and took the accident to heart much
more than the two victims.i'

WIEN FATHER RODE TIE COST


The house is full of arnica,
And mystery Profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound;
We leave the big piano shut
And do not strike note;
The doctors been here seven times
Since father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge week ago
Got in at A. NJ,
And sixteen brethren brought him home.
Though he says he brought them.
His wrist was sprained and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been lively time
When father rode the goat,
He's resting on the couch today
And practicing his signs
The hailng sign. working grip,
And other nonkeyshines;
He mutters passwords meath his breath,
And other things he'll quote :
They surely had an evenings work "a.
When father rode the goat. ,a
He has gorgeous uniform, ''.H
All gold and red and blue,
A hat with plunies and yellow braid,
And golden badges, too.
But, somehow, when we mention it.
He wears look so grim
We wonder II he rode the goat
Or if the goat rode him.
