FIFTH AND SIXTH DELAWARE PENSIONS.
Petition al Walter o. EOfiecker's Office Which
Members are Requested to Sign.

Members are Requested to Sign.
A hearing took place in Washington
Monday before the Senate committee
on pensions on the bill recently in
troduced by Senator L. H. Ball to es-
tablish the status of the survivors of
the Fifth and Sixth Delaware Regi-
ments during the Civil War and also
the widows and orphans of men who
who were in those regiments. The
interests of the people affected are
being looked after by Attorney bud.
ley of Washington, who has had the
matter in hand sometime and is fully
equipped with data concerning the
regiments, which he presented to the
committee. To further the progress
of the bill copy of the petition is at
Walter o. Hoffecker's Office for mem
bers of the 5th and 9th Delaware Regi-
ment to sign.
The action of Congress on this bill
is awaited with a great deal of interest
in Delaware, for if the bill should
pass and become a law all of the sur
viYors of those regiments and the
widows and orphans of men who
served therein will be entitled to the
same consideration from the Pension
Bureau as is shown with respect to
other regiments, and all survivors
who are 81 years of age and over and
all widows and orphans can secure
pensions by virtue of the act of June
30th, 1897, and the recent executive
ruling thereon.
1t is incumbent upon those inter-
ested in the passage of the bill to con-
vince Congress that the regiments
were In the government service more
than 80 days, which is the pension
limit, except in cases of injury or
affection. The history of these regi-
ments, which were mustered In for
more than year, is familiar to most
Delawareans, but Congress as a body
is not acquainted with the details.
Although some of the survivors we're
granted pensions soon after the pas
sage of the act of 1897, they were SUBJ
sequently stricken from the pension
roll and later applications were re-
iected on the ground that their period
of active service was only 55 days.
The claim is made that as the men
were enlisted for over a year they
were just as much in the service of
the government as they were during
the 55 days they were called out, and
are therefore entitled to recognition
under the pension act.

HOSE COMPANY NEEDS EQUIPMENT.
Meeting Held Last Night Resulted In an Effo IT
to Get Citizens Of Smyrna interested.

A special meeting of the Hose
Company was held last evening to de-
wise ways and means of better equip
ping the fire department for any case
OF emergency. The recent Prettyman
Factory fire brought home some Sc
rlous lessons, and it was found to
successfully fight fire in the future,
our Fire Department must be better
equipped. The Tschudy Estate
showed their gratitude for the valiant
services of the Company, by donating
one hundred dollars to the fund for
improvements. Other donations were
promised and at the meeting of the
Hose Company last evening, a COM
mlttee of three composed of Joseph
E. Carter, Frank F. Evans and H. S.
Anthony were appointed to confer
with the citizens and devise ways and
means of raising $500. The Town
Council will be asked to provide 500
more feet of new hose. The money
to be raised by subscription will be
applied to getting new ladder trucks,
new hose carriages, fire apparatus,
suits, &c. The money in hand, which
amounted to about $3.50, was ordered
at once to be expended in getting new
nozzles, which are very badly needed.
1t is to be hoped that the citizens will
heed to the request of our faithful
volunteer fremen and do everything
they can to equip this department so
necessary to the town of Smyrna.

W. NJ. LEWIS AFFAIRS IN FEDERAL COURT
Property Ia Dispute Turned Over to Receiver.
PetitiOn'in Bankruptcy Filed.

FeuuOn 10 BANKRUPTCY Fne0.
Judge Edward G. Bradford held an
interesting hearing in United States
District Court in Wilmington yester-
day morning, says the Morning NeaOS,
when several persons were directed to
show cause why they should not be
compelled to answer charges of con-
tempt. The matter was finally ad-
justed and the property in dispute was
turned over to a receiver. A few days
ago @. l.. Ward, representing several
creditors of Louisa S.Lewis of Smyrna
fled a petition that she be declared an
involuntary bankrupt, and this was
done. Thomas F. Bayard was APP
pointed receiver in the case to take
charge OF the property until trustee
is named according to the bankruptcy
law. On Monday Mr.. Bsyard went to
Smyrna and found that Mrs. Lewis
had assigned her property previous to
the bankruptcy proceedings being
brought and the assignees, who were
represented by r. II. Vandyke, we'll
known Kent county lawyer, declined
to surrender the property. Mr.. Ward
at once asked the court for a rule to
compel the assignees and their attor-
ney to show cause why they should
not be attached and punished for con-
tempt of court. It appeared from the
hearing of the case yesterday that Mr..
Vandyke was trying to secure the
adoption of plan which would be for
the best interests of the creditors.
He stated in the court that the credi-
tors had agreed that the property
should be assigned, that it should be
sold and the proceeds divided pro rata
among the creditors and that it would
be for the best interests of all the
creditors if the bankruptcy proceed
ings were dropped and the assignment
allowed to stand.
Judge Bradford informed the assig
nees and their counsel that a petition
in bankruptcy had been filed according
to law, that new receiver had beer
appointed and unless they desired tC
show cause why they should not b.
held for contempt of court they mus
turn the property over to the receiver
at once. There was considerable dis
cussion of the matter but the judg
firmly held that the property must b,
turned over or the contempt proceed
ings, heard. The assignees and thei
counsel were not trying to show an
contempt for the court but were onl
doing what they declared to be 70
the best interest of the creditors an
therefore agreed to turn over the Pre-
party to the receiver yesterday aftel
