THE NEWS OF NEW CASTLE.

Special CORE s. ondenee of Gazette and Journal.
New Castle. Nov. S.-The suit of the
William Lea Il Sons 20. against Frank
Strong and William Newcomb. an action
for the recovery of wharfage was heard
yesterday before Magistrate Van Ars-
dalen. Strong and Newcomb are resi-
dents of near Pennsyille, N. j., and
brought truck to the local markets in
their boats. They did not deny that
they owed wharfage, but, it was a
question to whom it should be paid,
they having been told that IL it were
paid to Lewis Duncan, wharf agent for
the Leas, they would be compelled to
pay it again to the city, which owns
portion of the wharf. Their toat was
attached and the suit followed.
The Jury was composed of John L.
Taylor, Bennett Il. Lancaster and
George W. Dickerson. The prosecutors
were represented by John P. Nields,
while the defendants had no lawyer.
The contention was that the company
owned 76 feet frontage out OF the 81
feet, and that tho latter was also the
property of the company until May LIST,
1902, the rent having been raid to the
city until that date. The receipt,
signed by City Treasurer Ferris, was
produced in evidence.
Clerk Of Council Eckles testified that
he had notified the William Lea & Sons
Co. on November goth, 1900, to vacHte
the city's portion of the wharf on
March Goth, 1901. 1t was also shown
that no lease existed between the city
and the company since 1894, when the
original lease Of five years was made,
The rent of IS per year has been paid
annually.
The Jury rendered a verdict for the
plaintiff for the amount claimed, So. so.
Many people are incensed over the
matter and hold that the city has been
treated STABILITY. The wharf is the only
coed one at which boat can land, and
the charges exaoted for brief stops
have driven boats from the landing. A
short time ago boat of the Smyrna
Transportation Co. stopped long enough
to throw out gang plank ami land one
male passenger. The fare for the Ias-
senger TO this city was % cents aud the
fee for wharfage, 81. The suggestion is
made that the city provide good wharf
age facilities at reasonable charges.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
Smyrna, Nov. 9.--The appointment
of Robert 9. Houston ss collector OF
the port of Wilmington has caused con-
sternation among the Addioks nen of
upper Kent county and they do not
attempt to hide their chagrin over the
"throw-down'' which President Roose-
welt has given them.
For some time pnst the Union Re.
publican workers have been telling the
colored people, and especially those who
are inolined to wander from the fold,
that'the administration was now back
ign Mr.. Addioks and that they must all
stand by the President Explanations
will now be 10 order. and the Addioks
lieutenants are unable to satisfy those
whom they have deceived.
This prediction Is freely made by the
most trusted friends of Addioks that
the next election will see two Republi-
can tickets in the field. III a oompro-
mise should be made they will knife
every Regular on the ticket This they
say. can be easily done. as the Addicks
voters assistants can very easily fix
the tickets Of their illiterates.
Some OF the Union Republicans are
in favor OF their party nat putting n
ticket in tho field and allowing the
Regulars to run the campaign. They
claim that this is the only way to
demonstrate to the administration that
the Addicks faction is the Republican
party OF Delaware.
While the hopes Of the Addioks men
have been blasted the Regulars are
happy, and Postmaster Thomas B.
Megear feels confident that he will
succeed himself when bis term expires,
next February.

A warming Against Cheap Furniture.

1t is one of the sadclest sights in our
modern life to see a young couple,
when starting to furnish home, go
out with good money and buy bad
furniture. 1t is positively nothing
short of criminal for cheap department
and furniture stores to he allowed to
soil furniture which IS heing offered
today in our great cities. Young people
are attracted to this rubbish because
of cheap rrices. Every stick of the
furniture offered at these stores is
oheaply put together, and by glue and
thick coats of veneer is made only to
sell. 1t barely gets into the new house
before it falls apart and what was
thought to be a cheap purchase turns
out to be very expensive investment.
1t Ia, strange that folks cannot get it
through their heads that bed, table
and two chairs, honestly made, are
cheaper at SEQ than Que of those fearful
connections known as bedroom suits''
which are sold at $40. So. Edward Box,

NEW PLANET LOCATED.
A Large Body believed to Have Changed
Course of Famous Comet.

A Large Body believed to Have Changed
Course Of Famous Comet.
Astronomers are on the outlook for
new planet, beyond the orbit of
Neptune, which is at present the outer
most member of the solar system, Gays
London newspaper. Ii has not been
seen, and, perhaps, never will be. but
its existence is suspected because ap-
parently some large body in its sup
posed neighborhood has interfered with
famous comet. In 1864 this comet
was observed; in 1866 that is to say,
292 years later-the visitor came again,
but instead of returning IN 1848 1t came
back four years earlier, in 1874. In
other words, the comet Of 1874 is be-
lieved to be the enc that was due in
184S. Its path had been shortened and
calculations render it probable that
about the year 1705, while rushing
through space, it came 80 near to a
large body that its parabolic orbit was
changed TO an elipse.
Prof. g. Forbes. in paper read
before the Royal Society of Edinburgh
computes that this hypothetical planet
is considerably larger than Jupiter,
which is by far the hughest Of the sun 8
attendant worlds, and is about one
hundred times further from the sun
than our earth-or about nine billion
three hundred million miles. 1t is
altogether fine speculation, and will
call for delicate observation and high
mathematics to confirm 1t.
