The defense commended that defend-

Porto Rican Migrants Sent

The cast of w. j. England, plumb |
er, came up before Judge Dickey yes
terday IN the District Court. He was
charged with violating a plumbing
regulation by doing plumbing in a
house without having first obtained a
permit from the Board of Health. At
torney Lewis appeared for the defense.
E. G. Keen, the plumbing inspector,
testified that England had done
plumbing in house on King street
without having first obtained permits
sion from the Board OF Health.
Attorney Lewis subjected Keen to
searching examination, with the result
that the Inspector practically admitted
that he was not a competent judge OF
whether job was sanitary or insani-
tary. He said that he could not say
whether the job in question was SAM
tary or insanitary, exeusing an opinion
by stating that he had not made
close inspection.
Mr.. Keen stated that defendant had
the Board of Health. Attorney Lewis
asked Keen whether he was aware that
the rules had been changed in favor of
the kind OF pipe used by defendant.
Mr.. Keen admitted that he was aware
of the fact.
Attorney Lewis in his argument call
4 ed particular attention to the following
statute of the Penal Laws:
1.-THE Board of Health may make
such regulations respecting nuisances,
sources of filth and causes of sickness
within the respective districts of the
Republic, and on board Of any vessel,
as it shall judge necessary for the pub
lie health and safety"
He said that the Board of Meath
: was attempting to override this Sec
ton, which provides for the making of
s. regulations in the cases of nuisances
8 and insanitary conditions Mr.. Eng
lands job on King street was, as far as
the evidence showed, sanitary.
The prosecution argued that whether
the job was sanitary or insanitary, cut
no figure. The fact remained that
England had done plumbing without
81 having first obtained the necessary IL
cense.
Judge Dickey discharged the defend

Telephone cables and wires on the
tAlaRea street division were hopelessly
muddled about half past two o'clock
yesterday morning when an electric
wire crossed a telephone wire some
where in the city, and caused the burn
ing out of all the telephones in the Judd
building. the partial destruction of the
cable head on the telephone pole at the
corner of Hotel and Alakea streets, and
the burning out of a fuse connection
in the tower of the Telephone Exchange
building.
The first intimation had of the burn
ing cable was when the tower fuse
blew out. This fuse had connected with
the cable running up Alakea street con-
tanning fifty wires. A leg from this ex-
tended over to Fort street and entered
the Judd building. When the electric
wire fell upon the telephone wires every
portion of the line where fuses were
placed was caught in the general de-
struction.
Superintendent Corcoran Of the Tele-
phone company states that men were
out all day yesterday trying to ascer-
tain in which part of the system the
contact between the electric and tele-
phone wires took place but they were
unable to locate the mysterious visitor

to be saturated with rain water and
at that place the current and water
came into a pyrotechnical collision.
The two elements stopped right there
and had it out, but the electric current
was the victor. 1t practically gave the
wet spot solar plexus blow and the
stars flew from the head.

The Levy Court last Tuesday
paid Sheriff McDaniel's bill for
commitment and board of pris-
oners during the months Of July,
August and September. The
bill did not include a single
tramp or vagrant and is the first
one for several years without
that incumbrance. The discus
sion of these bills and the veto
by Comptroller Kelley of the last
one has resulted in the entire
cutting off of this expense to the
county. In this discussion, an
error is made by all the papers
in stating that this allowance has
been made for many years. The
practice grew up under the Dem
ocratic Levy Court elected in
1892 after the Republican Levy
Court had been legislated out of
Office by the Five Commissioner
Act. During the twenty-five
months of Republican control,
the number of commitments to-
the jail many one quarter rarely,
if ever exceeded $50, while in
the case of the bill of Mayor
Boyd it was claimed that about
5000 had been committed by
one magistrate in single
year or an average of 1, 500
per quarter. In this, as in all
measures enacted for purely
political purpose the tax-pay-
ing public suffers. The Five
Commissioner Act was a political
scheme and had in view only the
one thing, to get rid of Republi-
can control in New Castle County.
As law, it is faulty in construc-
ton and has plenty of ''holes big
enough to drive a horse and
wagon through. What is needed
in this county is the same kind
of government as prevails in the
two .lower counties. Give US a
Levy Court of eleven members,
one from each hundred, and abol-
ish the Road Commissioners,
putting their work upon the
Levy Court. This would bring
the Levy Court closer to the peo-
pie. There are at least six hun
dreds in this county so close po-
litically that the choice of a COM
missioner would depend upon the
independent voters. Thus a.
majority would always be elected
of honest and capable men. And
the commissioners would be close
enough to their constituents to
be called to a personal explana-
ton of their acts. This matter
is important and deserves the at
tention of our public spirited cit
