THE fact that Kent County owes
New Castle County $1,000 is not a
matter of very recent history, as some
of the newspapers would have the
people believe, says the Dover State
Sentinel, neither is it the fault of the
present Levy Court that the debt has
not been paid, as others would imply.
This bill was contracted in 1897, dur
ing the Democratic administration, for
repairs to the bridge at Fleming's
Landing, which is on the boundary
line between the two counties and
which both counties are obliged to
keep in repair. The Democrats, while
in power, could not or would not pay
the bill, so it was left for the Republi-
cans; aud not until last August had the
present Levy Court any kno Wedge of
it. At that time the bill was presented
by the Clerk of the Peace of New
Castle County for the amount, but it
failed to give the items, or any partic-
ulars of the work done, and as there
was no record of any authority for the
work, and none of the present mem
bers of the court had any knowledge
of the matter, the court very properly
held the bill up until such information
could be obtained. Repeated requests
from the Clerk of the Peace failed to
bring the bill of items, consequently
the bill has not been paid and will not
be paid until some definite information
can be had concerning it.
This Is the history of the trans
action, and now the Democrats would
censure the Republicans for their de-
lay in paying it, when in fact it il
greatly to their creditthat they deman
a satisfactory voucher for the expendi
ture ct the county's funds.

The Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, the
Presbyterian divine, died Saturday
night at his residence in Washington.
1t had been evident for some days that
there was no hope for recovery, and
the attending physician so informed
the family. The patient gradually
grew weaker until he passed away so
quietly that even the members of the
family, all of whom were watching at
the bedside, hardly knew that he had
gone. The immediate cause of death
was Inflammation of the brain. DIR.
Talmage was in poor health when he
started away from Washington for
Mexico for a vacation and rest six
weeks ago. He was then suffering
from influenza and serious catarrhal
conditions. Since his return to Wash
ington, some time ago, he has beer
quite ill. Until Thursday, however
fears for his death were not enter
tanned.
No preacher of modern times wa
better known than this great divine
The splendid voice with which he ha'
spoken to thous ands, has been hushe,
forever, but his written sermons whic
gave him a worldwide popularity
will live after him and cheer many
weary traveller in their pilgrimage o
earth.
