ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

City Council at last got ashamed
Of the condition OF the streets and
put a number OF men at work yes
terdav cleaning up the grass in
trout of the town hall. There can
be no reason why Council cannot
pave with brick or Belgian block
at least one square a year There
are enough telephone and tele.
graph poles in the city at tax OF
half a dollar each to pay good
round sum. Council! can come from
under the bushel OF SUSPICION BY
reading the bills in open session,
holding it's meetings in the Mayor 9
Office and in TACT by being men not
afraid to have their actions looked
after for they are public officials.
They are not members OF funny
club BY any means and then you
see they sometimes or some OF them
at leaat eat too much watermelon
and tell secrets. Why it is now
said that some very funny things
happened not long ago that would
not look we'll in print. Council can
drive away all these reports by
acting like public officials in pub
lie way. Sometimes people in their
efforts to spite some one do acts
they will regret.
But coming down to the question
that is being asked nowadays,
"Whv doesn't City Council do some
work on the Streets it can be
safely said that Council can do a
whole lot. What has become OF
the repairs to Seventh street! If
one tax collector turned in ga. 900
in two years and Council left over
a mile of an excellent street 60 I'm.
paved and two tax collectors have
turned in over S45, 900 and nothing
is TO be seen except few trunks.

DEATHTHR0UGH
A SINGLE BLOW

Philadelphia, July 49, William
Farson, a Union Traction Company
motorman, met death IN a peculiar
manner in a saloon at 4O4s Lancaster
avenue last night and at midnight
the police were securing the city west
OF the Schuylkill in the hope of catch
ing the man thought to be response
Bile
The latter is Thomas McGrath, a
bartender whose home is in the vi
entity Of Forty-eighth street and
Lancaster avenue. Farson ran
car on the Market street division of
the Union Traction Companys svs-
tenn all day yesterday, turning his.
car in at the Forty.tlrst and Haver-
ford streets barn at 6 O'Clock. Go
ing to his boarding place, at 643
North Forty eight street, he got his
supper, saying that he was going to
a store on Lancaster avenue to pur.
chase a hat.
1t was I. 30 O'Clock when Ears on
entered the saloon with the new hat
and ordered glass of beer. Nc.
Grath was also in front of the bar as
Cassidy, the proprietor, started to
draw the beer. AS he turned he saw
McGrath hit Farson on the jaw and
the motorman dropped to the floor.
He staggered to his feet in a dazed
condition.
"What lid you hit me for?" he
murmured, and then again dropped
to the floor UNCONSCIOUS.
Cassidy is said to have sent Bar
tender Tracy for two physicians, but
they were not in their offices, and
Patrolman Montgomery was notified.
He had the apparently unconscious
man sent to the Presby terrain Hospi-
tai where the physicians said Farson
was dead
Conflicting stories are told as to
the events that led up to the attack
on Farson but the Sixteenth district
police say that the men had few
words over a metal disk, the size Of
a dollar with cent inserted in the
centre, an advertising novelty.
in the excitement which followed
the unexpected result of the blow
McGrath ran out of the saloon and
disappeared up Lancaster avenue.
As soon as he learned that Farson
was dead Lieutenant Taylor, of the
Sixteenth police district in which
the tragedy occurred started his spe-
cial officers out on hunt for. Nc
Grath and also notified every police
man in the district to arrest the man
McGrath' description being tele-
phoncd along with the order. AT
midnight the fugitive had not been
captured, however.
Farson was about 43 years old and
unmarried. He came to Philadcl-
phia from Smyrna, Del, and had al
ways an excellent reputation. Nc.
Grath S age is given as 80 years. He
is occasionally employed as a bar
tender, having worked as an extra
at various times in the saloon where
Farson was killed. He is single and
is not known to have any relatives in
the city.

Hundreds of our readers know all
about Doan's Kidney Pills. They
have heard their neighbors discuss
their merits and they have endorsed
them publicly themselves. Read
what this citizen says. Can you ask
for better proof?
Mrs l.. Maddox, No. 225 Tatnall
street, says:,-"l allowed my expert
ence and opinions of Doan's Kidney
Pills to be published in 1897 in our
Wilmington papers. For years pre-.
vious to obtaining them at Danforth' 5
drug store l had attacks of sharp
shooting pains accompanied by a
stiffness in my loins. A change la
the weather or any cold contracted
always settled in my back and made
it So lame and sore that it was a
hard matter for me to get about.
When suffering as described above, a
lady called and advised me to use
Doan's Kidney Pills, saying she had
thoroughly tested them and found
them reliable. A few doses gave me
relief and before had finished the
box the trouble disappeared. Since
then have had slight occurrences
but on every occasion dose or two
Of Doan's Kidney Pills has relieved
me. Amy preparation which per-
forms exactly as 1t promises should
be known to the public. 1t gives
me pleasure to make this fact known
to the people of Wilmington"
