SUFFERER REFUSES TO
LEAVE HIS FAMILY
Carpenter Unable to Work,
Begging Food for Wife
and Children

Suffering for the past five weeks with
inhammatory rheumatism, John Sellz Of
No. IS Robinson street. a carpenter by
trade, is begging on the streets to pro-
vide food and shelter for his wife and
three children. Both of his arms are
affected and it needs no second look
to convince one that he is suffering
agony.
The sick man stopped at the Even
ing Journal Office this morning and
told a story that melted the hearts OF
the scribes. So great was his suffering
that while he was telling his tale Of
in-luck the perspiration stood out on
his forehead In beads and trickled
down his face.
Sellz said that he was stricken with
his illness about five weeks ago, al
which time he had $40 saved, which
his wife had laid by from his earnings.
That money had long since been spen.
for treatment and medicine and for
the past two weeks he has provided a
.meagre fare for his family through
the kindness Of neighbors and charity
associations.
The suffering man was asked why
he did not apply 20 the Trustees OF
the Poor for New Castle county for
.adm.ttance in the New Castle County
Hospital where he was sure to obtain
good treatment. but shaking his head
said. 'what win become OF my fam

NEW ROAD INSPECTED
BY LEVY G0URTMEN
Contract May Be Given Out
for Odessa Road and
Work Started at Once

Members of the Levy Court this morn
ing inspected the work being done on the
Hare's Corner road by the Christiana
Construction Company. The contractors
have completed nearly one mile Of the
road, but all Of it win probably not be
completed before December. A committee
from Pamona Grange also inspected the
work
On next Tuesday the Levy Court will
open the bids for the road from odessa
Ito NIlddletcwn. The proposals for the
Elsmere road were opened severad weeks
ago, but as yet the contract has not been
awarded. Stewart and Donahoe were the
lowest bidders. There is a question as
to which Of the two contracts shall be
given out first. The farmers in the lower
part Of the county are anxious to see a
new road and claim that the one to Odessa
should be the next built. There IS ex-
pected to be a discussion on the matter
next Tuesday. While there is sure to
be some opposition it seems to be the
general opinion that the contract for the
road IN st. Georges hundred VIII be Civ
en- out first. Bids for this ROAD for both
stone and gravel viii be submitted.
There seems to be difference Of opinion
as whether or not the work On either OF
the roads win be started this year. Some
members Of tho Levy Court think 1t
would be foolish to start now as nothing
can be done when frost gets in the ground
but others want the work on at least tho
Odessa road started M once. There is
$4,000 available for the work for two. but
if it is desired this entire amount could
be spent this year. The state gives hall
Of this amount and the country the other
half.
