The INFORMATION WAS OBTAINED.

But 1t Was Not Sufficient to Sustain a
Charge of Selling Liquor ON sunday.
It had been alleged that a certain saloon-
keeper in the city of Wilmington was selling
his wares to the thirsty on Sunday and Chief
of Police Black, assisted by Deputy City
Solicitor Garrett, captured seven men
coming out of the place one Sunday even
ing. The men were taken into the private
office OF the chief of police and Mr.. Garrett
applied the sweating process.
One of the seven said that he had con-
scientious scruples against making oath to
any officer except the attorney general.
II am the acting city solicitor" said Mr..
Garrett.
You have no right to swear me-" replied
the man.
did you buy anything to drink in that
| saloon." asked Mr.. Garrett.
Its no use, Mr.. Garrett, for wont take
an oath before anybody but the attorney
general, " said the man with the conscience.
Il will fix that all right, " said Mr.. Gar
rett as he left the room.
Taking the first car that came along MIR.
Garrett hurried to the home of Attorney
General Ward and induced that official TO
| deputize him to swear the man. Mr.. Ward
complied with Mr.. CARROTS request, after
which the deputy city solicitor hurried back
| to the City Hall.
II have seen Mr.. Ward and he has
| deputized me to take your OATH, said he to
| tne man.
All right you can swear me, was the
reply.
He was duly sworn and examined as fol-
| lcws:
Did you ever buy anything in Mr.. Is

Yes, sir. y

WAS it something to drink?''

How many glasses did you buy?"
II bought three glasses"

to drink" replied the chief.
You say you bought three drinks in that
saloon?" queried Mr.. Garrett.
Yes, SIR

COUNTIES THAT HAVE

West Chester Local News.
The following recent correspondence
between the undersigned. of the Brandy.
wine battlefield locality, and the secre-
tary of the Tennessee Historical Society,
at Nashville, explains itself. 1t will
doubtless be a geographical revelation
to most people hereabouts to know that
the curved boundary line which sepa-
rates New Castle county, Delaware,
from Delaware county and part of
Chester county, Pennsylvania, is dupli-
Gated in Tennessee, and that the lat
ter State also possesses two other
curvilinear- bounded counties, one of
which forms nearly a complete circle.
The three are northeast of the centre
of the State, ia tho region known as
the Cumberland Plateau:

A WEAPON FOR REPRlSAL
The Reichstag iHaS Adopted The Para
graph Of the New Tariff Bill
Authorizing the German
Government
TO RETALIATE ON ANY COUNTRY
Discriminating Against Goods
Made in Germany.
THE VOTE THEREON WAS 1872 TO II

Berlin, PRUSSIA, Nov. 13.--The Reichstag
today adopted, by 1872 to II votes, the para
graph OF the new Tariff bill authorizing the
government to retaliate on any country dis
eliminating against German goods. This
agrarians openly affirmed that 1t was neces-
for reprisal, especially against the United
States customs practice.
DIR. Brumer said: "It is said that we
must not offend the United States, but they
will respect us more and We shall gain more
by showing our teeth than by always giving
pleasant words. y
Herr Gothein, Radical Liberal, replied
that such words were no fitting epilogue to
the sentiments expressed by Count Posa-
dowsky, the Home Secretary, in the pres
ence of the Foreign Secretary, Baron Won
Richthofen, at Ambassador Whites farewell
dinner. "They will make discord, he
continued, among the wishes spoken there
| for friendly relations with the United States.
| Why empower the government to do soule-
| thing il does not want to do! Although the
| present government would not apply the
paragraph, some succeeding government
might commit such folly. Retaliatory
duties are the. weapon OF Chauvinism and
not of patriotism.
Herr Fischback, Radical. said all the
| Chambers of Commerce were opposed to

Herr Broeme, Radical, remarked that II
| Germany adopted retaliatory measures
against the United States because of regula-
tions which applied to the goods of all coun-
tries, it would be serious breach of the ex-
| isiting treaties.
| The Associated Press Is authorized to an
nounce that the ministry has not decided to
drop the Tariff bill, as published IN Lon.
don, but is determined to persist until the
dissolution of the Raiehstag, in June. The
ministry also has decidsd not to agree with
Russia or any other country for a five-years
extension of existing commercial treaties.

DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE.

The Organization Expresses Itself in the
Matter of Senators.
The Democratic League held meet
ing Thursday evening and adopted the
following, copies of which we're ordered
sent to the Democratic members of the
General Assembly:
Indications seem to point that pressure
will be brought to bear upon the Demo-
cratic members of the next Legislature to
affiliate with the Regular Republicans OF
that body in an effort to elect two United
State Senators inEorder to successfully oust
j. Edward Addicks from political promi-
nence in the State.
1t will no doubt be pointed out to you thnt
inasInuch as our party cannot elect two
Democratic United States Senators and as
there is danger of Addicks receiving the re.
quired majority from weak -kneed Regulars,
1t is your duty TO vote with the Regulars az
Democratic organization, and as your
constituents, we feel it is our plain duty tc
protest against any such action, and We I'M
hesitatingly stamp the movement with ouI
diHapproval.
Further. We desire to remind you that
those who favored you with their votes on
November 4th, did 1t with the thought that
they would wrest the State from the contro
OF the Republican party of no matter which
faction and 1t is, therefore, obvious how G
compromise by majority with minority
would result. Besides the Democrats have
| the balance of power, and If the Regular,
are sincere in their opposition to Mr.. Ad
dicks they should affiliate with the Demo
Gratis and elect two Democratic United
States Senators rather than the Democrat
compromising with them.
We simply mention these things because
we believe, after nearly 10 years of Republi
can misrule in the nation, it would be fa
better to allow the State to again go unrep

RAILROAD MEN PLEASED.

Pennsylvania Co.'s Employees Delighted to
Hear That They Are to Receive More
Money.
The order of President Cassatt of the
Pennsylvania railroad, announcing an
increase of 10 per cent in the wages OF
all of the company's employees east OF
Pittsburg and Erie, who are receiving
less than 5000 month, which was pub
lisned in the telegraphic columns Of
Every Evening Thursday, has been
posted in the local offices of the p, B.
& w. and Delaware divisions, and was
welcome news to the men. or the s, $50
men affected by the order on these two
divisions and the Columbia division,
who are listed together, over LOCO live
in this city and nearly as many more
are residents of the State outside Of
the city. The total increase on these
divisions amounts to S448, 347. 80 an
nually and the total for the entire Penn
sylvania system is about Sc, 200, 600.
Under the new order, which became
effective on November 1st, the average
pay of the men will be S593 annually.
The track men will receive an average
of from S44 per month.
The advance was decided upon at a
meeting of the directors of the COM
pany on Wednesday. Those receiving
| 5000 per month or more are placed in a
| separate class and are virtually told
that they are considered by the BOARD
as part and parcel of the management
of the railroad.
| Explaining the action taken and
the reasons which influenced the board
| to make the 10 per cent advance,
/ Charles E. Pugh, second vice president
of the Pennsylyadia railroad, said
| yesterday:
s.The advance was made because We
felt the men fully deserved it and also
because it was properly due them. Our
businessfs enormous and to handle it
has required increased exertion ON the
| part of our employees.
Then, too, the cost of living has
increased. We felt able to give the
advance; it was right under all the
circumstances that we should, and SO
we made it. There had been DO
pressure brought to bear upon the COM
4 pany to pay higher wages. The action
vas entirely voluntary. Just how many
men are affected do not know, but as
| remember it is considerably over 80
per cent of the total number in the
service Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
co..
Ths increase is considered a good
one, as may readily be seen from the
fact that passenger conductors who now
receive from s100 to s125 month, will
receive under the new wage scale from
sll0 to sl3I. 90 per month. The salary
of enginemen and freight conductors,
which runs about sthe same will be
raised accordingly. Dispatchers who
now receive Sl05 per month, will receive

President Roosevelt will do woeful deed

has recognized the right of the senator or

acted apparently upon those notions of the
