both Of which appointments were rat
flied. Both gave the Fidelity and
Deposit company as their bond, which
wai also ratified.
A discussion arose then as TO the
eligibility of certain city officials TO
hold office. It had been reported that
City Attorney Worten is ineligible
because he is vice president Of the
News Democrat, a paper which does
the city printing, and which profits
ne woald share as a stockhclder in,the
concern IL there were any profits. IL
had also been reported shat Council
man Hummel, by reason Of his receiv-
ing commissions as n representative of
n concern that furnishes bonds for
various officials, and Alderman Boone,
who receives commissions from insur-
ance the companies he represents
issue On city property, were ineligible
under the law.
President Noble decided that these
geutlemen's connection cited above
did not render them ineligible, but
stated that he would have decided,
had he been in position to do 30 at
the time, that the city attorney 9ould
not pass ON the question Of Mr.. Utter
backs election at the time it was
questioned and decided on the afsor-
ney's opinion. He said further, in
substance that il anyone didn't like
this decision, or thought any Of the
city officials were holding office lille
gally or violating the requirements Of
their offices. the proper redress was 90
have them i1dicted.
Alderman Boone stated that he was
representative Of insurance companies
doing business with the city, but IL
his official position made him incl
igible he would resign, as he wanted
to have no advantage over his COM
petitors.
The question was left in statu
quo.
The bonds Of the sanitary officers
were ratified.
IL was stated that the duties Of
city clerk had been greatly increased
by the city's change Of class, and
some additional remuneration should
BE- paid him. The matter was re
ferred TO the finance committee TO
ascertain what remuneration would
be proper.
President Noble appointed only
one committee, that on enrolment
Mr.. j. V. Grief WAS made chair
man, with Messrs. Durrett and Jones
members. The other committees
will be appointed later.
The cost of removing offices from
the city hall was reported, as stated
in the council proceedings, and the
mayor ordered by the aldermen to pro-
coed with the work.
Clerk Patterson was instructed to
have 1000 roll calls printed for the
aldermen, and the board then ad-
journed.

BOGGS Is OUT AGAIN
A Man Convicted Of Stealing Sl07,-
600 Released From Prison.
He Served -Four Years-A Political
Scandal Recalled by His Hsme
Coming,
HIS WIFE HAS BEEN FAITHFUL

Dover, April 25-william \. Bosgs,
formerly teller of the First National
bank of this city and who, in 1898,
was.convicted Of embezzling $i07, 900
of the funds of that institution, was
released from the Trenton penitentisry
today, and residents of Dover are
awaiting with interest his return
home. The sentence was for five
wears, but it was committed TO four
BY President Roosevelt.
Delaware never had a greater scan
dial than the''one which grew out Of
the defalcations of young Boggs. 1t
involves United States senator, Rich
ard r. Renney. who was twice placed
on trial in the United States district
court, charged with improper use of
the banks money; member of the
Delaware state legislature, Colonel
Ezekiel Cooper, who died in prison
while serving his sentence, and several
other prominent citizens.
Next to Senator Kenney, Boggs was
the most conspicuous figure in the
scandal. without his aid the govern
ment never could have unraveled the
tangled books of the Dover bank. He
was a wonder at figures. The fact
that he stole more than the whole
capital stock of the institution, in a
very few years, right under the noses
Of the directors and the National bank
examiner, is proof Of his ability.
Boggs was regarded as one Of the most
remarkable young men in Delaware.
His system Of carrying along balances
and deficits without ever getting into
a tangle, his cool head and quick judg-
ment under the most trying circum-
stances and his unerring Judgment of
human nature were wonderful. De-
serted by the men who had profited by
his violations of the law and who had
helped to place him in the position of
a criminal, Boggs fed to South Amer
lea, June /, 1897. Then the great
defalcation was discovered. A run
WAS started on the bank, but the
Richardson's, prominent in the canning
industry here, put up money enough
to make good the shortage. firing of
his enforced Punishment, Boggs re-
turned in the spring Of 1898 and gave
himself up to the federal authorities.
With the all OF Boggs the United
States district attorney began a Wig.
orous prosecution Of several of the
most prominent citizens Of the state.
The two trials sof Senator Kenney.
then a member Of the United States
senate, were fnll Of sensations and
dramatic incidents. Upon each trial
the jury in the case Of Senator Kenney
disagreed
During the imprisonment Of Boggs
his wife has resioed in this city and
most of her time has been devoted to
efforts TO bring about his release. 1t
was she who visited the president and
finally obtained a Communication Of the
sentence.
Mrs. Boggs says that she and her
husband have no defnitesplans for tine
future but that there are several posi-.
tions open to Boggs.

ing says the Ashland Tidings. They
were lodged in the new steel cages
provided by the county court couple
of years ago, where 1t was supposed
prisoners were entirely secure.
Their escape could only have been ac-
complished by the aid Of confederates
from the outside, who securing entrance
to the corridor of the jail picked the
three locks which are between the corri-
dor and prisoners in the cage, one OF the
locks being al unusually large affair.
Entrance to the corridor was secured
through the roof, a section of the
corrugated iron roof being cut.
The keys to the jail we're in the posses
sion of Sheriff Orme, last night as usual.
Further evidence that the prisoners
we're aided to their escape from the out
side was the finding in their cell this
morning of two knives, one OF them a
silver table knife such as has never been
used anywhere about the jail.
Other prisoners in the Jail reported to
Sheriff Orme that they heard disturb

morning and was kept up until four,

is hardened criminal, having admitted
