WILMINGTON
WINS GAME.

A conglomeration of players from
Philadelphia came here last evening,
to play the Wilmington basket ball
team. The result was that the local
players won by the score of A to 90.
St. James Reserves hereafter will be
reserved for other clubs instead Of
Wilmington.
The next league game will he on
next Tuesday night, and the prospects
are that st. James will be the visitor.
This is the teamthat everyone In Will
mington has been anxious to see play.
The league will meet on Sunday and
rearrange the schedule, which is he
cessary owing to the fact that all Of
Chester home games have been tran S.
ferred to this city. and the Peen
Wheelmen having gone into the tramp
business. 1t would not be surprising
If these two teams were dropped from
the league and the franchises trans
ferred to West Chester and the Third
Regiment, both Of which are anxious
to get into the American League. The
league meeting promises to bring
forth many results and the games
Wilmington has protested viii prob

VIII be Over ASyekSmen,

The Board of Assessment Revision
and Appeals, will sit at the city hall
this evening to near appeals and 60
over the new assessments.
1t is the intention of the board IL
take the assessment made by Assessor
Mccall and Sayers, who were elected
by the people, compare it with the
valuation made by the special assess
ms and then the board fix u value
which it thinks is proper. 1t il claim
ed this method Of procedure is legal.
but there are others who claim that
il is not and that the people will light
the taxes which are laid under the
new assessment. There will be a con-
siderable increase In the tot al value
of real estate under the new assess
ment.

FINED FOR
TRESPASS.

Dover, Del, Jan. Am unusual
criminal proceeding was decided by
Magistrate Hutton, when George X.
Knight, well known farmer Of East
Dover swore out writ against Nm.
X. Webb, his father in law and a man
of considerable means, for tfcspaSs.
The intent Of the proceeding was
to have his father in law barred off
his promises by the strong arm Ut the
law, under the practice that the hus-
band is the master Of the household
and the statutes which provide a fine
for trcspass and bond to guarantee
that the defendant will not trcspass
Or be found in contempt again for a
year. Upder recent decisions here,
Mr.. Knight might have had the right
to put his father in law of his prem
iscs by force, but he evidently wanted
the law to have the odlnn Of force in
arms.
Henry Ridgely, Jr, appeared for
Mr.. Webb, who made a strong fight
against being turned out Of his SDn-in
law S home and finally won the case.
The magistrate dismissed the action
On two grounds, first, because the on
ly person who could bring such pro-
cccdlngs was the owner or tcnant and
the defendant had shown that Mrs.
knight, and not her husband. wa, the
owner OF the property, and there cX-
iSlrd no articles tc show That he was
even the tenant: second, because there
was not wIllul rcpass. as Mr.. Webb
had Il yearly contract with Mrs.
knight to board with her until March
Isl.
Mr.. Knight has Since threatened to
proceed again against his father. in
law.'hIs time for alternating hi, wife S
affections.
