several hundred persons bombarded the
Rev. Edward F. Miller, a Chicago revival
ist. the Rev. A. NJ Bullock, pastor of the
Methodist Church of this city. and the Rev.

Speech by John Mitchell.

WILMINGTON, Del. Aug. 30-President
Mitchell was the principal speaker tonight
on the occasion of the labor unions cele-
braton. Previous to the speech making
there vas street parade in which all of the
labor organizations participated. In the
course of his address President Mitchell
said: THE miners strike is not the ordi-
nary struggle of a labor union against cap
ital, but fight for American manhood,
womanhood and childhood and hearts
everywhere must throb in sympathy with
It, The statement OF the coal operators
that IL is a fight in which the essential
feature is opposition to organized labor
does not represent the truth. The coal
miners desire To take their frail children
from the mines and the mills and place
them i'm the schools. If the coal trust had
known that il would have had to fight the
American people IL never would have en-
gagged in the movement"

Totten family that the husband and wife
separated. That was about a year ago.
He refused to permit her TO have the care
of the children of whom there are three.
The Oldest daughter Minnie. is sixteen
years Of age, the boy, Fred. is twelve, and
the youngest child, Mabel is seven years
old. He sent the younger children TO rela-
tives of his who live in the country, near
Franklin. Minnie went to live with rela-
tives of her mother in Franklin. Then
Mrs. Totten sued for divorce and it is said
that it was to have been granted shortly.
After the separation Totten went to John
son county and worked around at odd jobs,
managing always to keep an eye on his
wife and to keep apprised of her doings-
Although they were separated his jealousy
still burned. While in Indianapolis before
the separation took place and for few
months afterward, Totten worked as a
bricklayer for the most part in West In
dianapoiis, where he has a nephew named
Harry Nees. On July 5, last, Minnie came
back from Franklin and went TO her
mother. who was living then and until the
time OF her death, at 427 East Market
street.
VISITED THE FAIR.
Last week was the week of the Johnson
county fair and Minnie Totten received
her mothers permission TO visit relatives
in Franklin and to attend the fair, where
she expected to meet many of her young
friends. She went down early in the week.
On Thursday she met her father on the fair
grounds. and he asked her about her mother
and where she was living. The girl evaded
the questions as much as it was possible to
do. and managed to get away from him
without telling her mothers address.
Thursday evening she returned to Indian
apolis, and Totten, who had watched every
movement his daughter made. followed her
here and dogged her until he found where
his wife was living. Friday morning he
went to the house at AT East Market street
and saw Mrs. Totten. He had been drink
ing at the time. and he very violent
and abusive. He threatened her life, and
she became so frightened that she had him
arrested and taken TO the police station.
There. on promise of good behavior, he
was released. Neither the daughter nor

The announcement that Congressman
Ball had secured an appropriation
Of s., 600 to be used in dredging the
Appoquinimink river was good news
to the people of this hundred, particu-
larly to those living in Odessa. This
amount win insure the reduction of four
miles in the distance from Odessa to the
mouth Of the Appoquinimink, and there's
fore enable the farmers to get their pro-
duce to the Philadelphia market in
quicker time and better order. The facts
in relation to this river are that no Gov
ernnent aid was given to its develop
ment until the then Senator. Anthony
Higgins, obtained the first appropriation,
in 1890, and whenever an appropriation
has been made it was the result OF Re-
publican effort.
F. B. Watkins. the manager Of the
Clio Steamboat Line, when asked about
it, said that the amount ($5, 5,0o0) was
satisfactory, and would enable the OUT
lined work to be continued for the next
year, and thus cut off four Of the bends
by digging a straight channel through
the marsh. Daniel W. Corbit said that
it would be great thing for the fruit
growers, as the steamer would be able to
start about one hour later, and this would
be added to the time the farmer needed
to get his fruit picked and put in shape
for market. Elias N. Moore and George
L. Townsend agreed with Mr.. Corbit,
and hoped that the section would 60
through without change.
The people of Middletown are inter-
ested in this river, as large part of the
freight received by local merchants comes
by steamboat to Odessa, and is hauled in
wagons to town, the saving in freight
charges being considerable. Every per-
son seen and asked expressed the highest
and pleasure, and praise is
given to Delaware's lone Congressman,
who appears capable OF doing things.

PRINCE HENRY


The brother of Emperor Will
liam, of Germany, who is visit
ing this country as the represen-
tatiye of royalty, has been given
an exhibitionof how swiftly we do
things. Eating and sleeping is
almost entirely done on the train,
although banquet has followed
banquet in profusion. Prince
Henry will undoubtedly carry
back to Germany the impression
that the Americans are a hust-
ling people, and this will explain
to his people why we have cap
tured the markets of the world.
Some captious persons are al
ready criticising the favor be-
slowed on the Prince, but as
their receptions are all at private
expense, it is a matter concern
ing only those who pay the bills.

GOOD TIME TO THINK ABOUT ROADS

Under the above heading,
Every Evenirag calls attention to
the "just terrible" condition Of
our road, and in part says:
"This state of affairs should
not be permitted to continue in
definitely. 1t has prevailed too
long already. The entire road
system Of Delaware needs re-
forming. It needs to be put
upon a practical, scientific basis
in order that good and perma-
nent results may be obtained
from the large outlays of money.
For the trouble is not due to ex-
treme economy in expenditures,
but entirely to the lack of a pro-
per system. The money spent
on roads in New Castle County,
had it been properly and system
atically expended, would have
produced satisfactory results
years ago. AS it is, the money
is gone but the fruits are not to
be seen"
We agree with E0ery EUeni7ag
that now is the proper time to
consider the question of a better
system of road making and road
repairing. In fact any time is
proper to consider this question,
but no time is so good as the pre-
sent. In order to get proper
system for this State or even for
the county it will be necessary to
secure certain legislation, that
all work may be done with the
view of one general result.
But pending such legislation
our road commissioners can and
should endeavor to use more
common sense and follow closer
the advanced ideas in road work.
One implement which is rarely if
ever used on our public roads is
the roller. In all the improved
road or street building the roller
is very much in evidence, and is |
kept at work rolling and rolling
and again rolling until the bed |
was made into a solid mass. The
Southern Railway Company has
recently by means of its good |
roads train proven that a good |
road can be made even in clay
country if the proper plan is fol-
lowed. And where gravel is as
plentiful and cheap as it is in this
neighborhood, and excellent road
can be built almost at the same
price as a poor one. But this
cannot be done by following the
old plan Of plowing or scraping
out the dirt from the bitches into
a "hump" right down the middle
of the road and then calling it
fixed. We would like our road
commissioners to try the new
plan. It will not cost much.
When they begin to spread gravel
on some of the bad places or .
start their road scraper, let them
with the roller. An
ordinary farm roller, well weight
ed with stones will do to try. We J
are satisfied that one honest test !
will satisfy even the most pre-
JUDGED man.
