A H0RRIRLE CRIME

The assault and murder of Miss
Helen Bishop daughter of Rev.
E. A. Bishop, the superintendent
of the Ferris Reform School on
Tuesday of this week within a
short distance of her own home
was probably the boldest and
most brutal crime that has been
committed in this county during
it's entire history. 1t seems al
most incredible that a young girl
of eighteen years, walking along
the public highway in thickly
settled community, within hear
ing and sight of people, could be
forcibly dragged into the bushes
along the road, brutally outraged
and foully murdered at ten o'clock
in the morning. The quick ar
rest of the suspected assailant
and the apparent completeness
of the chain of evidence woven
about him, speaks highly for the
efficiency of the police of Will
mington, and the fact that he is
safely lodged in the workhouse
without an attempt at mob law,
speaks well for the people of the
neighborhood. Public sentiment
ran high, and some of the "yel-
low" journals tried to increase
the fever by their weird stories.
But wiser counsel prevailed and
the man will have a fair trial be-
fore an impartial jury. The At
torney- General endeavored to Sc
cure a special term of the Oyer
and Terminer Court to try the
case, but the Judges thought it
better not to establish the prece-
dent, consequently, the trial will
be held at the September term.

1rspEcrINa ROADS

-
The Levy Court, with the State
Commissioner of Roads and the
Engineer, visited New Jersey
this week and inspected some OF
the eimproved roads of that State.
They express themselves as
well pleased with the kind OF
roads, and the material used.
They saw some roads nine feet
wide, some twelve, and some
fourteen. The twelve feet wide
road is the one that will probably
be used on the State road from
Wilmington to Hare's Corner
By a road of this width is really
meant one that furnishes sixteen
feet of driving face as oneach side
of the road is a shoulder" two
feet wide. This is ample for all or
binary occasions. AS matter OF
fact, as THE TRANSCRIPT has ever
claimed, the great majority OF
our roads are too wide. Many
of them could be proftably re-
duced one half in width. Were
this done the expense of mainten-
ance and repair would be greatly
lessened, and the public interests
would be as well served. Of
course, we realize that it is too
late to think of any such remedy.
Our roads were laid out at a time
when land was cheap and for gen
erations. the taxpayers have
been forced to keep up, at least
one-third more driveways than
was or could be used.
We desire to again express the
opinion that the Levy Court by
its action, in restricting the i'm
provement to two localities, has
seriously endangered future ap-
preparations by the State. A
prominent citizen of Kent County
recently said that he greatly
doubted favorable action by the
next General Assembly, as it was
understood by the members last
winter that the present appro-
priation was to benefit the rural
neighborhoods. Now the people
of the two lower counties are say
ing that it was just a scheme to
furnish the residents of the city
of Wilmington who own fast
horses with a driveway at the
expense of the county and State.
We yet have a hope that the Levy
Court will give the people in the
lower part of the county, at least
one or two miles of improved
roads, as samples of what will be
done with larger appropriations.
