bought for $11,0OO,OOO, the collateral

injunction, and the court said it did not
think it ought to grant one.

DR. HOSEINS ADDRESSED SENATE
Urged Delaware to Restrain the Bring
ing in Of Cattle Unless They
Are Examined.

DR.. w Horace Hosl1ins of the De-
partment Of Veterinary Surgery at the
University Of Pennsylvania addressed
the Senate and House yesterday after
SCION on the need of protection from in
fected cattle. He urged Delaware to
cooperate with other States near her
in restraining the bringing in cattle
without a very thorough examination
Today, Delaware has nothing to pre-
vent a Pennsylvania. whose cattle are
infected, from bringing them over the
line and dispOsing of them.
By unity of action the States can keep
down diseases that harm the cattle
and bring burdens upon their owners
Dr. Hoslins suggests that full power
be given the State Board Of Agriculture
to handle all such matters.

CLERK ALMOST SHOCKED
TO DEATH IN STORE
Theodore Dixon Rendered
Unconscious Trying to
Silence Bell

Theodore Dixon. a clerk IN the jew
elry store OF Millard h. Davis. No. o
East Second street, received an electric
shock from telephone early last eyen-
ing, which rendered him unconscious
for nearly an hour. and but for the
timely arrival O. help would no doubt
have proved fatal.
The accident, which was a peculiar
one, occurred about G O'clock, while the
clerks were preparing to close the
store for the day "A few minutes be-
fore G O'Clock a Delmarvia telephone.
which is in the rear of the store, start

after he arrived at the phone, Mr.
Dixon took up the receiver and put his
hand on the hook on which the re-
ceiver hangs, for the purpose Of trying
70 stop it ringing It was then that
he received the shock.
At the time the other cerks were
busy in different parts of the store,
but a colored man employed by Mr.
Davis was standing but a few feet
AWAY from the unfortunate young man.
When he received the shock he was
heard to call "Jim" once. The faith
full colored man ran to his assistance
and dragged him away from the tele-
phone. II was this that saved his life
as he was then unconscious and unable
to let go of the receiver hook.
Hearing the noise theother clerksrdn
to the rear of the store and were sur
prised TO sec the young man laying on
the floor in an unconscious condition

TRYING To FIND THE
LEAK IN WATER MAIN
Diver Examining Submerged
Pipe Which Has Caused
Trouble

The work of locating the leak in the
water main under the Christiana began
yesterday afternoon, when the John J.
Williams Marine Diving Company, of
Chester. brought their barge here and
anchored just north of Third street
bridge. The diver began going down
about o'clock and has been steadily
at work today, but had not found the
damaged spot at O'Clock this after
noon.
The work of finding the leak will be
a difficult one, as the main is twenty
feet below the surface of the creek, and
is covered with mud. The way the leak
will be found is by a hose, similar to
those used by fire companies, which the
diver takes down and places the nozzle
close to the submerged main. Water
is forced through the hose at a high
pressure. and the mud is washed away.
All day long Third street bridge was
lined with interested spectators, and
one funny Irishman who had just come
up in time to see the diver go down
with the nozzle of the hose in his hand,
said: "Phat the divil is he thryin' to do,
put out a fire at the bottom of the
creek?"
Some one told an old colored woman
they We're fishing for a devil fsh, and
shortly after the diver was pulled up by
a rome. AS his head and shoulders ap-
peared above the surface, the frighten-
ed old lady threw up her hands and
said: 10 de good Lords sake. Dat
am de debbil shore. 1 know hit is,
and with one more startled look she
saw the diver coming up the ladder and
waddled off the bridge as fast as hei
short legs would let her.

The United states District Court will
convene again next Monday after re-
cess OF nearly two weeks. AT that time
District Attorney William Michael
Byrne will be ready to try all cases for
the Government that are still on the
calendar.
II is probable that some time during
the coming week John Lemon will be
brought from the workhouse and sem
fenced for conspiring to fraudulently
obtain naturalization papers. lie has
been confined awaiting sentence since
last June and prison life is beginning TO
tell on him. His face is pale and
thin
Harry Rawley, OF Clayton. has two
charges of using the United States mail
for obscene purpose and blaclSmail TO
answer for. and II is likely that his
trial will be taken up within a few
days. although an effort will be made
to have the case continued until the
June term of court.
There are still six Italians TO
be tried for fraudulent naturalization
but what disposition of the cases will
be made cannot be learned. Three in
dictments still remain against JOSEPH
A. DeLmcca and each will be presser
until a conviction is secured.
The trial of Bragio Malereosa, his
wife. sabia Malereosa, and Nicola Di
Pace, under charge of several indict
ments OF counterfeiting money viii b.
the most interesting case to be caller
for trial at this term, and it is expected
that Malereosa, if found guilty, will re
ceive the full extent of the law. Tn
court will undoubtedly feel inclined L
be lenient with his wife, who has sew
eral small children. She is at presen
out on bail while her husband and Di
Pace are confined in the workhous
awaiting trial.

Lice and Mango ON Hogs.

To destroy lice and mango on hogs
use salt brine; take one quart OF
OF warm water, and sprinkle it over
common salt, dissolve in two gallons
OF warm water, and sprinkle it over
them till they are soaking wet. This
is the best remedy I ever tried, and
few applications will rid your swine
OF the mango insect. When you use
it for lice, be sure and get it all over
the hog, and don't overlook the inside
OF the hogs ears,-one~ of their main
harboring places. Two or three good
applications about a week apart, will
prove pretty tough on the lice. This
remedy will not make your hog
'scale OFF, like the coal oil prescrip-
ton that is most generally used. It
is we'll also to sprinkle salt in the
hogs bed, and this, If persisted in,
will insure against r1uch trouble with
mango or lice.-Cor. Midland Farmer.
