He vacated the bench at the close
Of the mornings session, and went
to officiate as a pall-bearcr at the

Historical Soc ETY.,

The Historical Society of Della
ware at its meeting last night was
presented by j. H. Hoffecker with a
relic of interest of Colonial times.
The chair that at one time was the
prope rty of Cunning Bedford was
presen ted.
In presenting the chair, Mr.. Hof-
fecker gave an interesting account
Of its history which dates back to
the battle of the Brandywine.
Cunning Bedford was an init
mate friend of Washington and La
fayette, and during the battle of
the Brandywine both visited the
Bedford mansion. The chair pre-
sented by Mr.. Hoffecker graced the
library in the Bedford mansion as
the chair of state and several times
had for its occupants Washington
and Lafayette.
Cunning Bedford was born in
1747, and at one time was attorney
general and afterwards was sent to
the General Assembly. He, rose
rapidly in politics and was sent to
Congress in 1888. In 1889 he was
appointed United States District
Judge. 1t was largely through his
strenuous efforts that each state has
an equal representation in the Uni
ted States Senate.
The chair was donated by Miss
Henrietta Bedford, daughter, to
VIM. McCaulley, who was known in
Wilmington as Squire" McCaulley,
and who was one of the largest
brokers of his time. Mr.. McCaul-
ley's widow presented the chair to
Rev. John Wilson, at one time the
president of the Wesleyan Female
Seminary. The widow of Mr.. Will
son, who is still living, and who, at
present, is making her home at
Ocean Grove, recently gave the
chMr to Mr.. Hoffecker, and asked
him to present it to the Historical
Society.
The relic was accepted and a mo-
tion to the effect that the donor be
given proper recognition was adopt

PAINE'S
Celery Compound.
Has Proved a Blessing to All
Ranks and Conditions of
People in Summer.
A Prominent and Popular Chi
cago Lady Restored to Health

The success of Paine's Celery Com.
pound in banishing the ills aud dis.
eases that follow people into the sum-
mer time, has not been confined to
any particular class of society. Men
esteemed in business and professional
life, mechanics. farmers, women lead
ers in society. and the wives and
mothers of humble homes, have all
bv voice and pen, contributed strong
testimony in favor of the medicine
that restored them to health and
strength.
When Paine's Celery Compound is
used there is no more neuralgia, rheu-
matism, dyspepsia, stomach derange-
ments, liver or kidney troubles. The
blood once foul and stagnant, is made
fresh and pure. and courses with a
regularity that brings vigor and hap
piness. The use of one bottle is often
sufficient to establish health robust
enough to combat the dangers and
perils that are common in hot wealth

Mrs, A. T. Lermond, Chicago, ILL.,,
Corresponding Secretary of the W.

alton to health through the use of
Paine's Celery Compound. The
great medicine was prescribed by one
of Chicago's ablest physicians. Mrs1
Lermond says;---
ga few years ago went through
surgical operation. After being in
bed for four months l was able to be
up Ibut was exceedingly weak and
worn, neryouS, and unable to sleep or
eat. My physician prescribed Palne's
Celery Compound, and l at once be-
gan to feel stronger. After using
few bottles my health and strength
were completely restored. and l am
glad to give this testimonial in its
favor"

Results For February Satisfactory
 In Spite of Bad Weather.
 NEW YORK, March 1.-R. G. Dun &, Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Although the shortest month in the year was further curtailed by two holi- days and handicapped by the most se- we're storms of the winter, industrial and trade results were most satisfac- tory. The closing week brought a gen eral resumption of activity in lines that suffered from the weather, and preparation for an exceptionally heavy spring business was reported at many points, southern cities alone being backward. Voluntary advances in wages indicate the better position of many mills, while few new controver- sies were reported. Crop prospects are considered encouraging in so far as anything can be learned at this time.
 Pressure for structural material is se- were and will probably be still more so as the regular building season draws nearer. Further hardening of quota tions is reported, and inquiries for de- livery i'll 1903 are not exceptional. Re cent heavy purchases of pig iron for the latter half of the year have satis- fled the needs of many consumers, and there is less anxiety regarding de- Iiveries. More foreign steel has been engaged, and domestic concerns are still bidding in the German market.
 Failures for the week numbered 215 in the United States against 179 last year and 35 in Canada against 31 last year.

Central Officials Cleared of Blame
 For Tunnel Disaster.
 NEW YORK, March 1.-John M. Wisker, engine driver of the train that crashed into another i'll the New York Central tunnel at Fifty-sixth street and Park avenue on the morning of Jan. 8, when seventeen passengers lost their lives, has been indicted for man. slaughter by the grand jury. Though a coroner's jury and the state railroad commissioners found that the railroad management was at fault, the grand jury dismissed the complaint, that of maintaining a public nuisance, against the road as a corporation.
 A bench warrant was issued for Wis ker and given to Detective Sergeant Cuff to serve. It is expected that Wis ker will be taken into custody at once.
 Thirty-six witnesses were examined by the grand jury, including Senator Depew, President Newman of the New York Central and other heads of de- partmentS.

WATERVILLE DAILY TALK

The Rev MT Stansfeld preached a very interesting sermon on Ritual ism' before a large audience at St Paul's Episcopal church last evening.
 The condition of the streets and sidewalks in this place is very bad. The macadam road in front of the American Pin company is in an espe- cially wretched condition. Two streams of water are flowing across the street at this point and have washed away the top dressing of the road This condition of affairs is at tributed to the action of the Pin com pany in closing up a sluice way which formerly conducted the water across the street at this point and down through the property of the Pin com pany. When Mortimer Doran was selectman he ordered the Pin com pany to reopen this sluice, but they paver complied with the order.

Worst Flood Since 1850.

READING, Pa, March 1-Reports from Lebanon say news has arrived there that Stovers dam, near that place, covering thirty acres, had burst. Leba- non is cut off by water on all sides ex- cept the north. The electric light, iron works, street cars and Cornwall and Lebanon roads are flooded. Business in the flooded districts is at a standstill. The First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth wards are flooded. Much damage has been done. Dispatches from Tama- qua, Pa, say that the worst flood since 1850 visited that place. The business section of the town is under water.
