DISPOSING OF CIVIL CASES
At KENT COUNTY COURT
W. II. COLLINS LOSES CASE AGAINST
JAMES B. TIGNOR OVER A HORSE DEAL.
John W. FenimOre Wins Case Against John
Raughley - Court Decides Interesting
Point In Presley 0OldsbOrOugh Case.

The Superior Court disposed of a
matter yesterday in a few minutes
which it took the Legislature four
weeks to fight over, and which was
consigned to the pigeon hole. The
case of the state against Presley S.
Goldsborough, for sresspass, involv-
ing right of way over meadow land,
had been called. When it was found
that the jury list was nearly ex-
hausted, Sheriff Baker was ordered to
call talesmen. He called "Reuben S.
Stephens. DIR. Stephens is the Dover
opticlan, who was the leader of the
fight of the refractionists of the State
to the right of the title doctor" A.
B. Magee, counsel for Goldsborough,
attempted to speak in behalf of the un-
willing talesman. He said: "May it
please this court, this talesman is a
doctor of refraction and doctors are
exempt from jury duty. Moreover, he
is a local preacher. After a consulta-
ton between Justice Spruance and
Justice Boyce, during which they
carefully perused the code, the former
said: "Mr. Stephens, are you a regu-
larly ordained minister of the gospel?'
81 am not sir" "Mr.. Stephens, are
you a regularly licensed physician and
surgeon practicing as such in this
State?" "No SIR" The court then or
dered that Mr.. Stephens be sworn as a
talesman.
In the case of John Raughley, de-
fendent, and John W. Fennimore, Jr.,
plaintiff, an action of assumpsit to re-
cover on two accounts, for phosphate
bought and delivered, amounting to
about 500, and 600 bushels of corn
which Fennimore had purchased ot
Raughley, but which the latter, it was
alleged, failed to deliver same, the jury
rendered verdict for Fennimore fol
800. The case of William Fl. Collins, the
well-known horse dealer of Smyrna VI

by the jury giving judgement for $9(

DR.. WATT ON PRESENT DELAWARE CRISES
Calls The Late Legislature to Account for Re.
fusing to Submit the Local Option Question

Calls The Late Legislature to Account for Re.
fusing to Submit the Local Option Ques stiou
The late Delaware Legislature came
in for stirring rebuke Sunday even
ing when Rev. DIR. Robert Watt in a
vigorous sermon delivered at Asbury
M. E. Church recounted the action of
that body in refusing to grant the
people right to vote on the question
of license or no license. The text was
taken from a part of the 11th verse of
the 25th chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles: Il appeal unto Caesar. "
The sermon had reference to the pres
ent crises in Delaware and in the
course of his remarks he reviewed the
situation and said that every legis-
latureman who voted against submit
ting the Local Option question, pur-
iured himself by violating his oath to
support the constitution. He showed
that the temperance question was the
most gigantic question with which the
people had to deal and he emphasized
the need of the christian churches to
take hand in the great reform move.
ment. He deprecated vote buying as
we'll as the licensing of saloons, and
said the time had come for the sturdy
manhood of the state to rise up and
assert itself. He referred to the fact
that some interesting matter would
come out at the state convention to bt
held at Dover tomorrow. The sermon
was characterized by its earnestnest
and forceful invective and made gooC
impression on his audiance.

DELAWARE SHAD NEVER so SCARCE.
Prevailing High Prices Have Continued in
Smyrna as a Result of Light Catches.

Shad have never been so scarce as
they are this year and the oldest fish
ermen cannot account for the reason
of the capture of so small a number of
fish. As a result prices have con-'
tlnued high at Jones fish market and
the wagons at the -Four Corners"
These prices have varied from 30 to 60
cents piece in this locality which is
20 to 25 per cent. cheaper than the city
markets. The Delaware riveS and bay
is not the only place where snallc lcafsaes-
have been made, but all over the
United States comes the cry that there
are no shad. Commission merchants
do not know what to make of it, and
fishermen who have been on the water
lifetime are more than disgusted with
their catches. When a boat could
come in with 200 or SOOa year ago they
are now lucky to have rs fish. No
market has been made on account of
the scarcity and the prices are what
ever the handlers of fish are able to
secure for them. Fine Delaware trout
are now taking the place of shad in the
local market.
