Protection of Rural Mail Deliv=
cry Boxes.

The fellow that runs bump against
United States law is likely to
experience the effects of a cyclone
that he will never forget. The
| federal laws are made TO be execut-
ed and they are. The penalty at
| tached to the fracture of federal
| statute is severe and the offender is
pretty sure to get caught. The
| laws for the protection of the mails
are specific and the penalties for
interference are pretty harsh. Some
rural mail boxes have been tempered
with, presumably by boys who are
not aware of the nature and the
effects of such an act. Postmaster
Glass has received the following
letter from the postoffice department
of the government on this subject
to be made public. Below is the
letter.
The Postmaster-Sir The fol-
lowing paragraph is taken from the
Postoffice Appropriation bill
Whoever shall hereafter willfu1ly
or maliciously injure, tear down, or
destroy any letter box or other re-
ceptacle established by order of the
Postmaster-General or approved or
designated by him for the receipt or
do1ixyarxy Of m II ~ of+ar. m
free delivery route, or shall break
open the same, or wil1fully or malic-
iously injure, deface, or destroy any
mail matter deposited therein, or
shall willfully take or steal such
matter from or out of such letter box
or other receptacle, or shall willful1y
aid or assist in any of the afore-
mentioned offenses, shall for every
such offense be punished by fine
of not more than one thousand
dollars, or by Imprisonment for not
more than three years.
This paragraph became effective
when the President signed the bill,
and it is now in full force. Please
have same made public in your To-
cality through the newspapers.
Depredations covered by this law
should be promptly reported to the
United States Attorney for the Dis
trict in which they occur, and the
report should be accompanied with
such positive evidence as it may be
possible TO submit, indicating who
are the guilty parties.
This Office should also be irnmedi-
ately notified regarding the case.
Respectfully,
A. w. MACHEN,
General Superintendent.

will Not Argue.the Matter.

At the last meeting of City Council,
the City Solicitor was directed to ap-
pear before the court and make an
argument against the adoption of the
conclusions of the street paving COM
mission that the abutting property
erty holders should not pay any pro-
portion of the paving cost. City
Solicitor Potter says that he is obliged
to decline the direction. He says
that the city authorities cannot at
tack the finding of the commission.
Rather the city is bound by it. 1t is
the province of any tax payer to raise
objection if he sees fit, but city
official would not be listened to by
the Court.

"MOMo BLIZZARD
HAS SOME TROUBLE.
Says She Was Three Times At
tackled Saturday by a Col
Ored Man.

The woman notoriously known as
"Mom" Blizzard attracted the atten-
tion of the police Saturday. This
time she appeared as complainant.
The woman now lives on Cohansey
street. She declares that three times
Saturday a colored man came to her
house and once or twice assaulted
her. 1t is not entirely made clear vet
what the man was doing there, but
there was some dispute over dollar.
The Blizzard woman declares the col
ored man threw her down stairs, and
she bears marks of fall. The stair
door was broken off when officer
Gaun went around to investigate.
Saturday night the officer awaited
long while to capture the
fellow but he did not come around
any more.

HIDDEN TREASURE
In OLD CELLAR.
While Tearing Down a Chimney
in North Cedaryille Albert
NeWcOmb Finds Some Money.

While tearing down an old chimney
in the ancient dwelling house known
as the Dalton property in North
Cedarville Friday afternoon Equite
a sum OF money and old coins was
found by a workman The house is
owned by Alfred Campbell and he de-
cided to have the building taken down
and the foundation torn out He en-
gagged his nephew, Albert Newcomb,
of Newport, to do the work. New
comb in removing the pile of brick
and plaster with hoe from the base
of chimney, struck something that
made ringing noise He dug down
and discovered tin box about 1Ox6x3
inches, tightly bound and locked.
His curiosity led him to open it and
there he found number of old coins
and over three hundred dollars in
American currency. There was date
on the box which could hardly be
distinguished but looked like 1779.
1t was evidently placed there over a
hundred years ago. The house is one
hundred and fifty years old.
A "Pioneer" reporter called on Mr..
Newcomb Saturday and asked for
an interview. Mr.. Newcomb said he
had no statement to make other than
the story was correct. He declined
positively to say how much money he
found but it was Every nice sum, -
as the man expressed it.

DELAWARE is
SLAPPING BACK.
Refuse to Honor Requisition
Papers From Governor MUIR
ply.

Dover, Del, April 28 A sensation
was caused here this afternoon by the
arrest of A. Standbury Stanford, one
of the best known young men of
Dover, who has responsible position
with one Of the trust companies here.
The arrest was made by Detective
Petit, of New Jersey, accompanied by
Special Detective Bernard J. McVey,
upon the charge of embezzling be-
tween $1,000 and $1,000 from Mrs.
Nellie Birch, the manager, while
bookkeeper of the Glandon Hotel, At
Iantic City
The accused protested his innocence
and demanded an immediate trial be-
fore Justice of the Peace Hutton.
Lawyer Shinn, of New Jersey, ap-
peared before Justice Hutton, with
requisition from Governor Murphy,
and demanded the custody Of the
young accountant. They were not
prepared, they declared, for hearing
until they had time to get their wit
n6SSoS from NEW Jersey.
Henry Kidgely, Jr., and William
M. Hope, representing Stanford, re-
belled against any further procedure,
and asked for his dismissal. They
claimed their client was innocent and
had right at law to resist any such
attempt at snap arrest. The justice
contended that the prisoner had
right to know exactly what he was
charged with, and to face his accus-
ers, and as the detectives and the Jer-
seyman could not comply, he ordered
the prisoners release. Detective
Petit and Lawyer J. K. Shinn imme-
diately telegraphed for their witnesses
and remained in Dover all night,
claiming that they would renew their
prosecution tomorrow
At the conclusion of the hearing
some hot words passed between Detec-
tive Barney" McVey, Detective
Petit and the justice, until the latter
had to threaten to exercise his pre-
rogative and commit them.
What gives the case special interest
is the fact that the honoring of any
requisition papers by Governor HUM
may be protested against by Stan
ford's friends, among whom is Sheriff
Reedy, who has just been turned
down" by Governor Murphy, of New
Jersey, to whom he appealed with
requisition papers for the seven Jer-
seymen who are charged with poach-
ing terrapin in Delaware waters. The
fight against a requisition from New
Jersey will be made upon the ground
that there exists no State comfy be-
tween Delaware and New Jersey, by
reason of her Governor ignoring SINH
lar papers issued by Governor HUM.

THE BODY is
WASHED ASHORE.
COlOred Man Drowned in Della
ware Bay Found in Antux-

A couple of weeks ago, a colored

SUNDAY MORNING
AT CITY HALL.
Mayor Hampton Disposes of Four
Drunks Sunday Morning.

The early meetingat the MAYORS
Court Sunday morning, was of the
usual interest. There were some vis-
itors in the congregation and four
penitents upon the anxious bench.
1t was the Saturday night crop, and
the police did not gather very large
percentage of them in for there was
an unusual amout of drunkenness Sat
urday afternoon and in the evening.
Henry Lempth, one of the ornaments
usually placed about the Cumberland
Bank corner, told the Mayor there was
no doubt in his mind about his being
drunk, and he went to Jail for four
days. Henry had spent his last penny
for drink
Ogden Carman, a young oystermap,
said he was drunk but not drunk
enough to be locked up, and he had a
word Of complaint to make regarding
the officer who arrested him. Still he
did not think it worth while to fight
the case, and decided to pay his fine.
In counting up his assets he found
them to aggregate just So This was
$1.25 short, but Henry sent an officer
to relative, and the pot was finally
made up
John Cossaboon was rather dis
gruntled, too, over his arrest. He
really did not think that anybody
could have figured out that he had
been drinking, but here he was a dis
| graced and discouraged young man.
He admitted that he was joking with
one of the officers and concluded that
he had made him mad, and that was
why he was in this embarrassing
position. He finally arranged to pay
over 81. 25 to be divided up between
the city and the Mayor
| But the real picture of the quartette
was Thomas Kelly, better known as
"Tin Cam Kelly. Mr.. Kelly is dis
tingulshed tourist, a man without a
country and at divers times in the
past he has been locked up here for
being drunk. The old man was a
sight. He had been drunk. He knew
that all right, but he could not tell
how it was his left eye was entirely
closed up, horribly blackened and
bruised, and his nose a mass OF
scratches. He didn't think he had
fallen. He thought somebody must
have struck him. But he did not
demur. He laconically observed that
such things must be expected when q
man went on a booze. He had nc
money and went to Jail for four days.
Saturday night Justice of the Peace
Jesse Davis, acting as Mayor, sent
William Gwynne to Jail for thirty
days. Gwynne has been several times
arrested recently for drunkenness and
wouldn't sober up. He will now have
an opportunity to get the liquor out
of his system.
