The United States grand jury sitting
at Chicago, has caught many big pack
ers of the country in its net. Three
months probing into the methods of the
beef trust" resulted in returning TWEEN
ty-seven indictments, which include
names of the most prominent packers of
the country. These packers have had
more to do with robbing the farmers and
stockmen Of this country than almost
any other one thing. Let the good work
go forth.

A Nevada bank failed for s7s, 600
and had ZIG in the vault and when the y
swept they found s. gold piece, max
ing s21 total assets. Some FIVE hun lred
years ago they had q bank failure in
China and every officer of the bank was
taken home without his head on. There
hasn't been bank failure in China
since. In dealing with bank failures we
are some 500 years behind the times and
should get hurry-up' ca turned in.

Delaware Boundary Dispute.

In the United States Supreme Court the
evidence in Delaware's contention was all
heard and closed last Friday. Judges George
Gray and Bradford we're witnesses in favor
Of the twelve mile circle.or to low water mark
on the New Jersey shore.
Commissioner Rawle will make his finding
by Junel. Should the finding be acceptable
to the attorneys representing both Delaware
and New Jersey, the long-standing dispute
will be settled after the decision has been
confirmed by the Supreme Court Should ex-
ceptiOn be taken, however, the matter will
come up in detail before the Supreme Court.
One of the most interesting witnesses who
gave evidence was Colonel J. Harry Rogers,
aged 81 yeaTs,of New Castle. Colonel Rogers
is the grandson of Chief Justice Booths and he
produced the original 10000 year lease OF the
p mile circle from the Duke OF York to W m
Penn in the thirtieth year OF the reign of
King George 1852. Colonel Rogers gave VAL
liable testimony for Delaware, and told Of the
bodies of drowned sailors being brought to
New Castle from the New Jersey shore for
the purpose Of having inquests held.
Miss Laura B. Johnson, custodian of the His
torical Society Of Delaware, identified copies
of grant of land from King Charles 10 the
Duke of York Of the three counties of Della
ware.
ExMarshal Henry H. MeMullen testified
that he had served processes within the p
mile circle east Of the middle Of the Della
ware.

GettIng the Queen Anne straightened.

In the Federal Court in Wilmington last
Monday. the Maryland, Delaware and Vir-
ginia Railroad Company, recently formed to
take over the property Of the Queen Anne's
Railroad Company and other com panies, pc
titioned that the Queen Anne's Company, in
the suit ofthe Queen Anne's Ferry and Equip
ment Company VS.. the Queen Annes Rail-
road Company and Frank Ehlen, the re-
ceiver appointed in the case, be allowed 10
turn over the property of the railroad to the
new company. The petition set forth that
all of the parties TO the suit we're willing that
the transfer should be made, that the new
company was willing to give the necessary
bond to pay the claims Of all creditors who
have claims taking precedence over the
mortgage liens under which the property
was sold.
This bond was also TO cover the expenses
Of the suit, the compensation OF the receiver
and other costs in the case. After listening
to the counsel in the case, Judge Bradford
granted the petition and ordered the new
company to give bond for 100000 to cover the
claims spoken Of in the petition. This bond
viii at once be given and the entire property
Of the old Queen Anne's Railroad Company
will be turned over 10 the new company by

RISING sun, DEL.

Being a reader Of your well published pa.
per, write few items from. here. Business
has been good with us for two months pre-.
vious to the great snow storm. Painters and
carpenters have been finishing up several
new buildings; but at present business OF all
kinds is at a standstill.
The snow and extreme cold weather ac-
counts for it; the roads were blocked and the
rural mail carriers were unable to make
their regular trips. This winter has been
unusually severe,aud some stock where good
warm Outbuildings are lacking, has suffered.
The present winter is moderate in compare
son with that Of 1881, if the memory Of an old
citizen over so years old residing here is cor
rect. He states that the blizzard of 1881 com
menced on January 25th and continued three
days; snow falling to a depth of over six feet,
and drifting in some places 10 a depth of ff-
teen feet. During the storm the thermome-
ter registered Line degrees below zero,and the
suffering among the poor was great. Many
cattle not provided with shelter perished, and
ice irOzet to a thickness oftwen ty-eight inches.
Birds and rabbits were nearly exterminated.
The Old gentleman speaks of that winter as
ifit was Of but sterday's remembrance.

A letter from Mr.. Woodal1 is
published in this issue of the
CHRONICLE that gives that gentle
mans views on the subject OF ''pro-
hibition," and incidentally of the
political situation. Mr.. Woodall
is an earnest worker in whatever
he attempts, and has the courage of
his convictions; but like others he
does not know all about even the
temperance question, or of politics
either, for that matter. So long as
it is a fact that the liquor trade
shall be established in any commu-
nifty, we believe that it is the duty
of every good citizen to see to it
that only such people shall get that
privilege to sell liquor who will OBJ
serve the laws, and who will keep
the business in bounds. THIS is
duty that any and all citizens owe
to any community where the liquor
traffic is conducted. 1t is not nee
essary that issue be taken with Mr..
Woodal1, but any thinking man
will see at a glance, that his letter,
while earnest and probably sincere,
stamps the fact by its utterances
that he is not looking at the stu
alton from a comprehensive stand
point. There are other questions
of public morals, such as the social
evil" that Mr.. Woodall would be
Just as earnest against, and just as
radical in his attempt to control ;
but, can it all be achieved at once ?
Give the people the chance to ex
press their opinion, is the sentiment
Of the CHRONICLE on this question.

AGRICULTURAL interests alb
sorbed the United States Senate
Thursday of last week, and for once
the farmer was the man of the hour.
For almost an entire afternoon the
Senate was engaged in a discussion
of the policy of distributing ordi-
nary farm and garden seeds from
the Agricultural Department
through members of Congress. Mr..
Lodge and those with him in the
debate on the subject, stated that
the seeds sent out were the COM
mon varieties to be bought of deal
ers everywhere,and urged that only
rare varieties should be supplied
free to the people. He criticised
the appropriation of $24o, 900 for
supplying seeds which were of the
cheapest and commonest varieties.
He characterized the whole scheme
as humbug and added, year af-
ter year we are appropriating the
peoples money for the purpose of
making gifts to our constituents.
1t is a pleasant thing to do, we all
like to do it, but we should not for
gst that we are making the coun-
try pay for it." Senator Lodge
voiced the sentiments of the people,
and the amount squandered each
year would be better spent in irri-
cation or dredging waterways.

In this part of Sussex county there are
many persons who take and read the

be glad to have some of the local hap
penings recorded occasionally.
When passing through tho door of a
store at the Drawbridge this week Will
liam Carey slipped and in falling struck
against piece of lumber inflicting a

getting along all right with the wound.
A turtle weighing 60 pounds was cap

about here.
A Apleasant time was enjoyed by friends
OF Harry johnson last Friday evening at

A WOMAN'S IDEA.
The Dish-WasheF Of the Age that Makes
Labor in Washing Dishes ChiId's
PLAY.

"Any child can use it," is an old standby as
asaying in any new household appliance In
a greater or less degree this is sometimes true,
butin the case ofthe Mound City Dish-Washer
it is absolutely true, for small child, one Z
or years Of age, can manipulate it and do it
easily. It is economic from the standpoint
that it does not break or crack the dishes,
and those horrid chips that make the dishes
look so unsiEhtly are never known where the
Mound City Dish-Wash is used. Il very
soon pays for itself aud makes the housework
Of an ordinary family several hours shoi ter
than IL otherwise would be- Hands that are
plunged into hot water and are covered with
the grease ard dirt Of the dishes lose that
dainty, velvety delicaey Of the skin and be-
come rough, hard and toflworn. This is all
avoided when one uses the Mound City Dish
Washer, as ones hands need no { even get wet
in the entire operation. For sale by A. J. W.

The Legislature.

The Legislature has been actively
doing business all of this week, and
more thon one hundred bills have
been introduced, but few, if any,
have become laws. On Tuesday
the balloting for Senator COM
menced, and has been continued
daily ever since. Mr.. Addicks re-
ceived % votes, Mr.. II. A DUPONT
received 9 votes, and Willard Sauls-
bury received 81 votes. There are
scores of rumors as to what will be
done, but we predict that the record
of this week will be the record of
next week in the ballots for Sena-
tor.
