MAY SETTLE DISPUTE

Unless members ofthe Delaware Gen.
eral Assembly should order differently it
is expected that the boundary dispute
between Delaware and New Jersey will
be settled without any dicision on the
part of the supreme court at Washington.
There is feeling growing that all that
both states desire is that residents of both
shall be allowed to fish in any portion of
the river which they may select.
1t is claimed that for some kinds of fish
ing the New Jersey side is better while
the Delaware side is better for shad and
for some other varieties. 1t does not
make any difference to the fishermen Of
either state whether New Jersey or Della
ware owns the bed of the river so long as
they are allowed to fish in it.
This was the view OF the matter taken
by the Delaware fishermen at the meet.
ing held in Delaware City on Tuesday
night and itappears to be the view of
fishermen in both states. They are
about the only persons interested in the
dispute because the trouble has grown
out of the New Jersey people arresting
Delaware men for fishing on their side
and Delaware preparing to retaliate.

MAKES GRAVE CHARGES

There was a sensation created at the
meeting of the Trustees of the Insane
Hospital at Farnhnrst Thursday morn
ing, when DIR. W. E. Curtin made charges
Of incompetency and use of morphia
against the superintendent, DR.. William
Hancker.
DR.. Curtin was removed as assistant
at the institution sometime ago, but in
his application for reinstatement made
the charges against the superintendent.
DIR. Hancker denied the charges in an
emphatic way, and demanded that they
be investigated The trustees will look
into the matter. DR.. Curtin's applica-
ton for return to the institution was laid
upon the table by the trustees.
In his denouncement, DR.. Curtin said
that the superintendent was entirely too
lax in regard to the quarantine of the
institution. He sighted one instance
where man had driven twenty miles
in closed carriage with smallpox
patient and was allowed to circulate
freely among the inmates. He further
claimed that the drivers of the quaran-
tine wagons came and went as they chose,
and that the spread of the disease among
the patients of the institution was due to
these facts.
The board will sustain DR.. Hancker
and passed motion allowing him to
use bis own judgment regarding the
quarantine at the institution.

THE SMALLPOX SCARE

The case of smallpox discovered in
Hamtown on Tuesda, was the cause oil
much excitement in our usually quiet
town, but since the unfortunate colored
man who was found suffering with the
dreaded disease has been removed to
the Emergency Hospital at Farnhurst,
very little is heard of the case
The local board of health acted prompt
ly, and the double dwelling where the
smallpox patient, William Harris, was
discovered, was Immediately quaran-
tined, and after Harris had been removed
the house was thoroughly fumigated,
and the back doors and windows of the
dwellings were nailed tightly to prevent
the present occupants from escaping
from the matchmen during the night.
Middletown has been very fortunate in
the past. as almost every town on this
Peninsula of any size has had one or
more cases OF smallpox, and we do not
anticipate any further trouble. Harris
had recently come to Middletown from
Chester, and was employed on the rail-
road, together with several other colored
men. He had been complaining of feel
ing badly for several days before he con-
suited physician, who advised him to
20 home Immediately and notified the
board Of health OF his discovery.

BYRNE REAPPoINTED

WASHINGTON, March 5th.-The Presi.
dent to-day again sent to the Senate the
nomination of William NJ. Byrne to be
United States attorney for the district
of Delaware. TO-
During the last session of the Senate
the committee on Judiciary recommended
the rejection Of the appointment Of
Byrne, and it was believed that the
President would withdraw his name.
The recent election of two United States
senators in Delaware, however, has ap-
parently changed the situation and the
reappointment is the result.
The original appointment of Byrne was
successfully opposed by the anti-Addicks
Republicans because ia ran for Congress
on the Union Republican ticket against
the present senator, DR.. Lewis Heisler
Ball regular Rep. J, thereby permitting
the election Of Henry A. Houston Dem. J.
As DR.. Ball led the fight againts Byrne's
confirmation his. course now will be
awaited with interest. Senator Alice,
who is a Union Republican, will, of
course, support Byrne. a
