Since the death Of william M. Candy.

there has been some talk Of erecting a

SEWER ENGINEER
FRANCIS PRICE RESIGNS
Resignation to Take Place
April Mayor Bird Visits
Street and Sewer

At the regular meeting Of the Street and
Sewer Commission this morning. Francis
A. Price. sewer engineer of the depart
ment. presented his resignation to take
effect April J.. He will it is believed. asso-
clate himself with T. Chaikley Hatton.
who resigned some time ago as consulting
engineer TO the board.
Mayor Charles ID. Bird paid his first
visit to the department, while the board
was in session, this morning. He was
cordially received by the members OF the
commission and was an Interested specta-
tor Of the mornings proceedings.
City Solicitor Robert G. Harman pre-
sented two resolutions for the boards con-
slderation. One TO compel street cars to
stop on the near side Of the street in
stead OF the far side. And the other 90
regulate the speed Of trolley cars and
automobiles.
Petitions for sewers In DUPONT street.
between Eighth and Eleventh streets and
in Eighteenth street between Tatnail and
Market streets, were received and refer
red to the consulting engineer for an es-
Innate OF the cost OF constructing the
sewers.
Magistrate Francis Bradley appeared
before the board and called attention to
the urgent need OF lights in Vandever
avenue. No action was taken but II is
likely that as soon as the Wilmington
City Railway Company gets It's tracks
laid In that section OF the city, something
will be done in the way of lights.

A RICH GOLD MINE.
For Several Years Eager Fortune
Seekers Worked Over II.

For Several Years Eager Fortune
Seekers Worked over II.
A tale Is told Of a rich gold mine in
Idaho with a ledge OF ore which once
extended above the surface of the
ground In clear, solid ridge several
feet high and entirely distinct from the
surrounding formation. This ledge was
long and unbroken and lay directly
ncross the course which hundreds Of
prospectors took every year to reach
other gold fields. This obstruction Of
rock. the great value of which was
long unknown, was too high to be sur
mounted by pack animals, so the pros
pectors cut a trail directly through IT.
For several years these eager gold seek
ers passed backward and forward over
this trail IN search OF gold mines. One
night a prospector camping near this
ledge of rock picked up a bit Of II and
from force OF habit took 1t TO a creek
near by and washed It. Then he exam
lned the stone, and, to his great aston
lshment, he found "colors" in it-bits
Of sparkling gold. The prospector does
not mistake gold when he sees If. He
is not deluded by iron crystals or bits
of mica. as the "tenderfoot" frequent
Is is. The gold sparkle is clearer and
brighter than that Of any other miner
al. ard It is the same in sunshine and
shadow.
The prospector, tremendously excit-
cd. broke on more pieces Of the ledge
and found more Of it bearing free gold.
Taen he located his claim, and that
was the beginning Of rich mine. Yet
for years the sagest Of prospectors had
passed over this trail through the cut
In this ledge. never suspecting its val
ne, although by its very prominence it
seemed TO invite inspection. - Leslie's

An ItnIian nriEand's Horse.

Amcng south Italian brigands even
their horses are taught to resist the
officers Of the law. During the en-
counter at Rama Bucca, in which the
brigend Mirto was killed, the gen
darmerie was amazed by the furious
behavior Of his horse, which lashed out
on all sides, and succeeded in injuring
one OF the officers. On inquiry after
ward among the prisoners taken 1t was
ascertained that the horse had been
trained to behave in this way by being
repeatedly nogged until he kicked one
OF the brigands. dressed as a carabi-
neer. approaching him. The horse at
last became such an adept that he
might be relied upon to kick and rear
furiously at the mere sight Of a uni
form.--Iondon Globe.

Miss Kemp Identifies Wrapper.
Miss Kemp. the postal clerk in Dover.
was shown the wrapping paper which
inclosed the box containing the poison
ed candy. and to the District Attorney
said it was the same she had noticed
when the parcel was taken from the
mail pouch IN Dover on the afternoon
of August 9.
Attorney knight proceeded 10 smash
what he could OF the weight Of her
testimony. He began by asking Miss
Kemp how old she was, but the gallant
Mr. Byington entered an objection TO
the question as being Irrelevant. Then
Knight asked the witness how old she
was in 1898, which suited his purpose as
well. and Miss Kemp said she was 25
then. Byington made a point by ask
ing if any subsequent event In Dover
fixed the matter in her mind. and she
replied that the death OF Mrs. Dunning
and Mrs. Deane had done so.
Tells of Poisoned Candy.
When Harry Pennington. the nephew
Of Mrs. Dunning was called to the
stand, he looked curiously at Mrs. Bot
kin for a moment. He told Of going TO
the postofice on the evening Of August
and getting the metal box OF candy
from the mail box. He identified the
paper which had been around It, and
the note reading with love to you and
baby" signed Mrs. c." which had
been inside the box.
Miss Josephine Bateman. a school
teacher In Dover. followed Pennington.
She testified that she was passing the
Pennington residence and stopped there
on the evening Of August 9. She said
that the wrapping paper and box were
those she saw in the lap of Mrs. J. p.
Dunning on that occasion. She care
fully examined the handkerchief hand
ed her by Mr. Byington and said she
saw it IN Mrs. Dunning's lap August
9, 1905. She also Identified the note
that was in the box.
Mrs Dunning passed me the box"
said Miss Bateman, ''and / took one
piece and ate It. I took three hard
Jumps from my mouth when / ate the
candy"
Attorney Knight objected to the wit
ness stating that the Jumps were ar
senic, but he was overruled. Miss Bate
man continued.
Il was there about ten minutes and
went home when I was taken with an
attack resembling cholera morbus."
Miss Bateman declared her gums were
very sore. She had dined that evening
at her own home and had eaten
nothing between dinner and the time
she ate the candy nor after that until
she was seized with sickness.
