Decision on Assessment Work.

Where the question was whether 500
worth of work had been done on min.
ing claim in the year 1898, and the wit.
nesses Of the complainant was to the ef-
feet that it had been done, and u witness
of the defendant stated that in 1897 the
tunnel (the only work done) was in
depth IS or 10 feet, and another witness
of the defendant testified that in the fall
of 1897 it was 10 or so feet, saving that
he had measured it the day before and
found it to he 80 feet, and further testifi.
ed that l2 or II feet Of work was done
after December 81, 1898, and defendants
witness testified that they estimated the
work on the tunnel to cost ~ to Is per
foot, such evidence was sufficient to
show that over 800 worth OF work had
been done In the year 1898. II the re.
uuired amount Of work il done, it is i'm.
material whether all Of the co-tenants
do their proportionate part Of such work
where il Is shown that the required
amount Of work has been done 1t will be
presumed, in the absence of evidence to
the contrary, that it was done by the
co.tenants or some Of them. And where
one Of several co-tenants attempts 20 re-.
locate Il mining claim his act incures to
the benefit OF all the co-tenants. The
mere lapse OF time does not dissolve the
relationship Of co.tenancy. y.-iarwook

Both Lines Blocked,

Chester, July II. Both trolley
lines running into the city, the
Chester Traction Company's line
and the p. w. d b., were blocked
some hours last evening. The Ches-
ter Traction line only partially, the
Wilmington and Darby division,
but the Swathmore line entirely.
The block on the Wilmington line
was due to the wires being down
in Wilmington, and from seven
o'clock until after eleven o'clock p.
m., no cars could get into or out of
Wilmington. The repairman got
things righted, and those travelling
were able TO get to their homes
near midnight.
The Blockade on the p. M. d S.
was caused by summer car No. 3
leaving the rails as it rounded the
curve at Clusters barn, one mile
east of Folsom. The car left Darby
at seven o'clock, and completely
blocked all traffic on the road from
the position it occupied, driving
across the tracks. While the car
was well crowded, no one was in
jured. The passengers were trans
ferred at the disabled car but de-
layed traffic nearly two hours, The
colored folks from Chester, attend
ing the Darby camp meeting were
all delayed, reaching the cit at
midnight.

Assistant principal Of the vii.
mington High School Miss Jane
Craig, has declined re.appointment
as member os the faculty OF that
institution.
The fact that Miss Craig has de.
clined to serve any longer in the
High School will be great surprise
and disappointment to many. for
since beng connected with the
school she has made an enviablo rcpu
tation as a teacher.
1t is generally supposed that tie
action Of Miss Craig was the out
come of the recent move Of the
Board OF Education. which did away
with an assistant principal aud re.
Guced the salary of Miss Craig, 5000
year Had Miss Craig decided to
serve another term she would have
been merely teacher.
Miss Craig has been assistant
principal of lhs Wilmington High
school for eight years, and has been
u teacher in the institution since its
existence. She was much liked by
members Of the faculty and students
as well, aud the school will lose a
valuable Instructor.

Savior ,he amount would not pur.

ALLEGED FALSE
PRETBNSE.
Michael Delccla had a number of

Michael Delcclla had number of
large checks on New Jersey bank.
He was the envy of other Italians
Detective Francis on Saturday af.
ternoon received u message summon
ing him to Stanton to arrest an ltal.
ian there on a charge of larceny. The
detective aud Chief of Police Black
boarded the first car to Stanton, and
on arriving there they were met by
Tony Dinna, an Italian, who conduct
ed them to the Plunkctt farm a
short distance from the town.
The first sight that greeted the
two officers was Michael DeIcella an
other Italian with his hands elevated
skyward, and a tcrrrorlzed expression
on his countenancc. Delcela had &C.
caslon to be alarmed, for another
Italian was standing few feet away
with gun in Il Threatening position.
He was OBTAINING Delcella until tile
officers arrived.
Dinna wanted Dclcclla arrested On
a charge Of obtaining goods from
Lewis Duff, Newport merchant, by
fraudulent MEANS lie claimed that
Delcella bought several articles and
charged them to Dinna's account. On
the other hand, De!cella accused
Dinna of trying to shoot him with a
revolver on Saturday morning, and
claimed there was plot to kill
him.
1t appears that Delcela has four
children, and their mother is dead.
Mrs. Dinna offered to make dresses
for the children, and Deicela accord
ingly bought some goods and a sewing
machine which were sent to Mrs.
Dinna. Then Dinna thought the
articles had been bought in his name,
and desired Dclcella arrested. De-
tective Francis and Chief Black
thought it best to remove DeIcelIa
and his children to this city until the
ire of Dinna and his friends subsidies.
and it will be sale for them to re-
turn.
1t appears that Delcella had several
checks hlled out lOr Slo,OoO. So,OUO
and other sums Of money, and this
caused several Italians to become very
friendly with him. Dinna was one
who cultivated Delcella's friendship.
and he even went SO far as to draw
an agreement under which Dclcclla
it'll his fabulous wealth was to buy
farm, in which Dinna was to have
half ownership. On the strength of
this Dianna vouched for Decela at
Dutf's store, but when Dinna learned
that the checks held by Delcela were
worthless, he turned against him, aud
caused his arrest. Dclcella will be
given a hearing before Magistrate
Hollis this afternoon on a charge OF
obtaining goods under false pretcnscs
and unless some additional evidence
is gathered, he will be released.
In all probability charge of point
ing revolver will be preferred against
Tony.
