clu,lrd proposals from almost every
dealer in the city, he said the commits
sioners had decided that il was hest not

Newark, Oct. 16.-The entire Della.
ware College football squad appeared Dn
The field this afternoon and every man
is in good condition, aside from few
slight injuries. They are MS good as
ever. The strongest scrub team of the

thening the defense.

ADAMS TAX QUESTION.
May be Settled Without Being Taken
Into Court.

1t is probable that the Adams Tax
complication will be settled without he
ing taken into court for decision. As
is stands now the Levy Court demands
settlement from the former collectors;
the collectors demand that the court re-
und to them moneys advanced, they
claim, Ms loans; and the court has re-
frlrcd the question to Attorney Knowles,
1t is likely that Mr.. Knowles will
submit an opinion to the court at an
early date and that the opinion will af-
ford Il solution of the question without
taking it into court.
