Comptroller Kelly Criticised and Defended
State Picnic Not Favored.
At the session Of Pomona Grange,
Patrons of Husbandry, 10 this city
Thursday afternoon, the committee on
the alleged extravaganza of the old
Levy Court reported that 1t was hard to
get at the bottom of the subject and
| recommended that the matter he re.
ferred to the Legislature. Members of
the grand Jury TO whom the subject had
| been referred had been seen concerning
1t and had told the grangers that refer
| ence to the Legislature seemed to be
the only way to handle il. The grange
committee, OF which DIR. A. Il. Neale
| Of Newark is chairman, was continued.
In the course of the discussion of the
Levy Court, County Comptroller Georgs
| ID. Kelley received some criticism and
defence. 1t was asserted that he mad
| passed accounts for which there were
NO vouchers and that he bad failed to
raise objections to bills when he might
| have done SO. In defence OF Mr.. Kelley
| 1t was said that thel auditors report
lshowed the existence OF the vouchers
and that when there was nothing un-
reasonable on bill presented to him,
there was nothing for him to do but
approve it, Moreover it was shown
that even should he disappr1ve bill
| tho court could pass 1t over his ob;ec-
| tion.
| This was the third meeting Of the
grange before which the subject of the
| Levy Court has been considered, aud
| the members found themselves under
standing the matter more clearly than
| before
State Master Derby sent the grange
IA communication asking it to appoint
a committee to confer with committees
from the Kent and Sussex oranges with
reference to holdlng State farmers
picnic at Rehoboth. Master John H.
Hayes will inform the State master that
the New Castle county grang srs do not
care to give up their annual county
| picnic
Discussion was had by New Castle
and Union Oranges ON the question of
whether trolley lines are beneficial. 1t
was the opinion that the trolleys aid
monopolies and are not of much ad.
vantage to the farmers.
The grange was Interested in meas
uie before the Legislature which was
designed to give a wife the same share
in che personal property of her deceased
husband, rs husband has in the
personal property Of his deceased wife,
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Clark, but he found 30 much
opposition to it that it was deemed
| best to let it go over until the next
session, by which time it's propriety
may be established.

THEY Did THE BEST THEY COULD.

State Senator Robert McFarlin, was
seen Saturday and was questioned why
he dia not attempt at the first of the
season to reoonciliate matters and se
cure the election of two United States
Senators.
His reply was II did the best |
could and am satisfied that 1 have
done the best that l could toward
reoonciling the two parties of Republi-
cans. have nothing to regret The
only thing that went to my heart was
when the Regular Republicans cheered
with the Democrats Friday after
noon at the close OF the session. This
was the most,hitter pill that had TO
take during the entire session.
Jefferson Blakely, another Sta te
Senator aud adnirer of j. Edward, Ad-
dicks said Saturday morning II did the
best could and Addicks will win two
years from now"

reports Of reduced consumption now
coming to hand. Wool is moving M ne
freely, and the tone is more cheerful,
