MILL DAM BIDS REJEcrED

The Levy Court decided on
Friday to reject all the bids for
rebuilding the two mill dams in
this hundred and decided to ad-
vertise for new ones. The rea-
son assigned for this action was
that the owners of the two dams
had agreed to furnish the gravel
needed in the work free. No one
believes that this action on the
part of the owners was the re-
suit of desire to reduce the
cost to the county. On the con-
trary, it is probable that the ten
der was made in response to a
demand that it be done, or with
the hope thatit would hasten the
work of repair. Atfrst thought,
it might be considered as a proper
move. But if the public is to
replace the property of private
owners destroyed by fire, flood
or as the result of carelessness,
the mere fact that the owner is
in possession of the material
needed to replace the property
is not a good reason for his fur
nishing the material free. We
think both the owners and the
Levy Court have made mistakes.
The former by their actions have
placed themselves in the position
of acknowledging their obliga-
ton to assist in the repair of their
own property. The Levy Court
has assumed the position that
the owner has some such obliga-
tion. Both of these are in direct
conflict with the letter and spirit
Of the Mill Dam law, which was
enacted with the sole purpose of
fixing the responsibility and cost
of the repair The act specifi-
cally states the exact proportion
of the expense which each shall
bear. For the parties to change
this proposition is plain viola
ton of the law. The fact that
the owners have the most avail
able materiel for the work ought
to inure to their advantage and
not to that of the county. If the
law is good one, the few dollars
that the gravel will cost ought
not to stand in the way of COM
pliance Herewith. If, as we
have always held, the law is
vicious, the few dollars saved
should not be urged in extenna-
tion of a refusal to do the work.
The courts should be asked for
an opinion.

and money. 1t would also be about s
cheap to send freight here from the other
lines as to haul it through the centre of
Philadelphia in order to reach its piers.
Railroad men have been looking at
land near the new freight yard, but none
has yet been purchased, or an offer made
for it, but is is understood that the COM
pany does not desire to allow another
railroad company to slip into Whining
ton and get the fine river front which is
of really more value to the Pennsylvania
than to any other railroad company on
account of its freight yards being there.
Middletown transcript., 1903-10-05
INTEREST IN RIVER FRONT

From certain improvements which the
Pennsylvania railroad is making it is be-
lieved that it will make an effort to secure
portion of the river front near its new
shops at Todd's Cut, Wilmington, which
is also near its new freight yards and that
in course of very short time there will
be ocean liners stopping there. Will
mington is now the central point between
New York and Washington.
By having the shipping point at Will
mington it would be possible for the
company to save twenty-five miles of
haul which would mean a saving of time

be the custom, it would have a
salutary effect. Ten days in the
workhouse has no terrors for the
class that carries a gun, knife or
razor, and in about half the cases
friends pay the fine. But a SEN
tence of a fine of one hundred
dollars and thirty days in the
workhouse, in addition holding
the convicted one for the full
three months before granting
a discharge in case the fine be
paid, we believe would serve as
a warning to all.

it is a bad one and it's growth
is becoming a serious matter. In
our own town, especially on Sat
urday nights, it renders the use
of the streets unsafe and at times
positively dangerous. The COM
bination of a reckless man, black
or white, bad whiskey and a
loaded revolver is not a happy
one. We think that if the courts
would impose a few sentences
to the full extent of the law, or
let it be known that such would

were the distinct result of the
reign Of terror" in Wilmington
during the week following the
lynching of George White, when
nearly every one, black or white
who was on the streets of that
city after night, was armed. The
trial of William Simms for the
murder of William Cramer was
another outcome of the same
event.

DoNAH0E CASE NOT SETTLED

When the Levy Court agreed
to accept a certified check from
the American Bonding Company
in full settlement of it's liability
on the bond of John P. Donahoe,
former Collector of Taxes under
the Adams law, and ordered sat
isfaction under the law, it was
evidently under the impression
that this settled the case. But
the action of the Wilmington
Savings Fund in appealing to the
Chancellor and securing a tenn
porary restraining order, pend
ing a decision of the case, fur
nishes an example Of the differ
ence between a check and money.
For the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Co., which had certified
the check refused payment there
on until the case be decided. The
Savings Fund had endeavored to
have the Levy Court include it's
claim for overpaid taxes in the
amount due from Mr.. Donahoe
but the Levy Court decided that
it could not do so, as Mr.. Dona-
hoe had collected the amount
rs, 267 .07) after he had resigned
the collectorship to accept the
Office of Representative. The
Savings Fund had nc other re-
dress than an appeal to Chancery
for its equity. All will agree
that if any are entitled to a re-
funding of taxes, all are, and it
is probable that had the Courts
held the Adams Tax law to be
constitutional, the Levy Court
would have endeavored to collect
this amount from Mr.. Donahoe
and his bond. But the present
situation is complicated and no
one knows how it will end. But
one thing is certain, that had the
Levy Court insisted upon the
cash in money before satisfying
the bond, it would not be in it's
present position, of having ac-
knowledged receipt Of money
which it did not get, and may not
get.

The Court of General Sessions

Never before in this term were
there so many cases of carrying

accused pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to pay fine of $25

house. A number of these cases

lengthy or particular description to in

ton, especially when the announcement
goes forth that the beautiful and talented
young actress. Miss Helen GRAVITY. will
be seen in the principal role. The play
ran for POO nights in New York where it
attracted much attention for its dramatic
and picturesque power as well as for
the magnifcence with which il was
staged.
I'm the Palace of the King is a dra-
matization made by Lorrimer Stoddard.
of novel by that popular and prolific
! novelist, F. Marion Crawford The story
which is set forth lucidly and in meIo-
dramatic fashion is briefly this:
The action takes place in the palace
Of Phillip the second. Of Spain. in the
year 1870. Dolores de Mendoza, daughter
OF the Captain of the Kings guard. has
loved since childhood Don Juan of Aus
tria, half brother TO the King. who, at
the opening of the play, has just returned
from a successful campaign against the
Moors. Captain de Mendoza. a man OF
stern sense of loyalty TO the interests
Of his prohigate King. forbids his daugh-
ter to listen TO the suit of Don Juan, and
lest she disobey him confines Dolores in
her apartment in the palace. Dolores
contrives TO escape from her imprison-
ment and gains the room of Don Juan.
where hidden behind curtains( she wit
nesses a quarrel between the King and
her lover which ends in the apparent
murder of Cardinal Luis de Torres by the
King. Aghast at his deed. the King forces
Don Juan TO assume the guilt OF the
crime. Dolores declares his innocence
publicly, though by doing so she sacri-
fees her own good name. Don Juan is
condemned to death, but in the final scene
Dolores secures his pardon by threaten
ing the King with the disclosure Of the
real murderer's name At the last the
Cardinal. who it appears wa merely stun
ned, enters. and the play ends with
happiness to those of the characters who
deserve 1t.
The play demands a lavish production
splendid scenery. rich costumes and
crowded stage. Manager James B. Del
cher has acceeded to the demands of the
piece and surrounded his star with a large
and efficient company, while the scenic
environment will be the same that char
