to strike out.' The game resulted 2

COUNCIL OEFERS ACTION
ON THE BOILER QUESTION
PREFER ALL MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
PRESENT BEFORE TAKING DEFINITE STEPS
Bat Quorum Present at Meeting Friday
Night-Finance Committee Makes Report
and Bond Burning Was Postponed

The Town Council met in regular
session last Friday evening with but
quorum present. The absent members
were COuncilmen Robinson Hudson
and Thornley,. But very little busi-
ness was transacted and the session
was short one. AS all the members
were not present nothing was done
with regard to the boiler question,
which is now timely and important
subject. Chairman Grieves made a
report and cautioned the Council not
to delay the matter until it was too
late, for the Berry boiler at the plant
is likely to spring more leaks and may
be attended by serious consequences.
A full Board is desired to act upon the
question. Chairman Stockly of the
Finance Committee reported that all
the refunded town bonds amounting
to $34, 900, had been paid and that he
had all the old bonds and the coupons
for January and July 1905. The rest
of the coupons were in the hands of
the Town Treasurer. 1t was decided
not to have the bond burning until all
the coupons were in hand. The papers
were passed over to the keeping of
President Reynolds until such a time
as they could all be burned, which
will probably be at the next meeting,
The following bills were read and
allowed: Salaries for July. 1856; Jo-
seph R. Cummins, extra polica, 81. 90;
Robert Wetherill & Company, repairs
to boiler, $41 %; Joseph H. Wright,
building scaffold at standpipe and fur.
nishing lumber, $1O5.96; David Rob.
inson, work in town lot, $11.OO; total
$421.19.

TRYING TO WORK DOVER ON BOGUS CHECKS
Number of Merchants Innocent Victims Of the
Bad Negotiations Practised Upon Them.

Number of Merchants Innocent Victims of the
Bad Negotiations Practised Upon Them.
The State capital has enjoyed run
of bogus checks the past week, but by
far the most astonishing nerve was
demonstrated by John Wyeth, Jr.,
whomsoever he may be. Cashier John
S. Collins found in the mail of the First
National Bank, Dover, Saturday morn
ing a check which had been cashed in
Media in favor of a woman for $50. 1t
was made payable to the woman by
John Wyeth, Jr., treasurer of the Do
yer school board" OF course "no ac-
uount" had to be written and tied on
the check aud it had to go back for the
bank officials know of no John Wyeth.
either son or father, while the treas
urer of the Dover school board. or
Board of Education, is Assistant Post
master John W. Casson, who is direc-
tor of the Farmers National Bank.
The nerve of John Wyeth, Jr. must
have been more fully evident when,
later in the day, another check for $40
drawn by the same bogus school treas
urer turned up. Thus the Pennsyl-
vania towns of Media, Reading and
West Chester have been drawn into
the bogus check negotiations which
have left half a dozen Dover mer-
chants poorer but wiser and have cre-
ated contagion of alarm against any
more check cashing unless the checks
bear genuine certifcation.

POSTOFFIcE MOVEMENT PROGRESSING.

Over Fifty Business Men of Smyrna Sigu a
Petition For Removal to Hartman Properly.
The Postofice movement is growing
apaee and the interest on the part o.
the people for its removal to more
central quarters in the Hartman pro-
perty formerly the Tschudy store on
Commerce street, seems to indicate an
almost unanimous desire on the part of
the business men. A petition was
circulated yesterday and so far has
been signed by over fifty business
men which will be forwarded to the
Postofice Department at Washing ton.
1t is understood that Mr.. II. d. Hart
man, owner of tho property, will com
pletely remodel the property and will
put up brick and glass front if he
does not tear the whole building down
and put up brick structure. Accord.
ing to the plans it will not only bea
convenient location for the pestoffiee
but property that promises to be
nice Improvement TO the town. As
soon as permission is granted by the
Department, the work of remOdeling
the property will be commenced aud
completed in time to get the pOstofflce
NOV ed before winter weather sets in.

EARLY CLOSING Of SMYRNA
STORES WILL START MONDAY
NEARLY ALL MERCHANTS SIGN THE AGREE.
MENT TO CLOSE STORES AT SIX O'CLOCK.
Schedule VIII Apply to Every Week Day Ex-
cept Wednesdays and Saturdays-Ice
Cream Saloons, Drug Stores, Excepted

The closing of the stores at six
O'Clock every evening in Smyrna ex-
cept Wednesday and Saturday even
ing is now an assured fact and the new
system VIII go into effect next Monday
The movement for an early closing of
stores was started over a week ago
when some of the merchants and clerks
conceived the idea that inasmuch as the
system was proving a success in Dover
it could be made success in Smyrna
also. A petition was circulated and
readily signed by all to whom 1t was
presented, there being a concensus of
opinion that fC urteen hours was en-
tirely too long to be confined to bus
mess place when eleven or twelve
would do. They felt 1t a duty they
owed to themselves. their clerks and
their families and with this end in
view they decided to enter into an
agreement to close the stores promptly
every evening at six O'Clock except
Wednesdays and Saturdays when the
stores would remain open until the us
ual time. The agreement does not af-
feet the drugstore's soda water foun-
tains, ice cream saloons, bakeries.
The hardware and agricultural i'm
plement stores are also excepted for
the present. E. @. FAIRIES Hardware
was the only one who would agree to
sign but the others were not ready at
this time and will bold matter under
consideration. The system may seem
strange at first and it will doubtless
take sometime before the public Is ed
ucated to early closing but when once
fully inaugurated it should be appre-
ciated not only by the public but by
the clerks and merchants who are
given more time with their families
and more outdoor recreation. Those
who have given the matter study see
no reason why all of the purchasing
cannot be done in the day time for as
matter of fact the country dealing is
almost entirely through at six o'clock
and what purchases are made after
this are by our town people, of whom
it is declared they could give attention
to as we'll during the day. The new
movement gives promise of being a
success. Those who have entered into
the agreement are: Hall & Megear, J.
Edward DeFord, William G. Roe;
Levin F. Hirons, B. Frank Van Winkle
Norris Truax. George w. Turner,
Thomas B. Megear, H. Linwood Phil

FRIENDSHIP SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCURSION
Given Yesterday on a Trip to Brandywine
Springs-ThOrOughfsre Neck Turus Out

THoRoUGHFARE NECK, August 3
Friendship Sunday School had an
outing yesterday long to be remem-
bered by all who enjoyed the occasion,
notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather in the early morning.
The magnificent new steamer, John
2. Wilson, had no little trouble in
getting over the bar at the mouth of
the creek and was delayed there nearly
two hours but finally got over and ar
rived at Flemings Landing at O'Clock
the appointed hour, but in turning
about she stuck fast in the mud and it
was not until 7.3O that the merry
party left the wharf. By putting on
full head of steam she plowed her way
across the bar on the outward trip
with but little trouble. A northeast
gale was sweeping down against the
flowing tide and the bay was churned
into immense white caps but the Will
son rode them as easy as a rocking
chair, and after pleasant three hours
ride landed the excurslonists at King
street wharf, Wilmington, where spe-
cial cars for Brandywine Springs were
waiting. The party had nearly four
and a-half hours at this beautiful park.
The steamer was an hour late on her
return from Philadelphia and left Will
mington at o'clock sharp. A most
delightful time was spent on the Will
sons spacious decks and handsome
saloons on the return trip. Those
who were musically inclined gathered
around the piano and made most ex-
cellent music while those of a more
romantic nature spent the time on the
decks. With a better tide the boat
crossed the bar with ease and landed
the party at eight o'clock. Captain
Durborough proved himself a most
genial host. Standing in the gangway
he shook the hand of each of the 25
excursionists as they left the boat.
Mr.. W. f. Keith. of Smyrna. was ca
terer aboard and his excellent ice
cream made him very popular man.
Financially the excursion only little
more than cleared expenses, but all
extended a vote of thanks to the COM
mittee.

SQUIRE CUMMINS HELD FOR COURT.
Charged With Imposing Excessive Costs 10
Some OF the Woodland Beach Cases and
Was Arrested Friday Afternoon.

Proceedings were begun at Dover
Friday against Magistrate Robert L.
Cummins, of Smyrna, who is charged
with making excessive charges and his
accusers are represented by Anthony
Higgins and Horace G. Eastburn of
Wilmington. While the State of Del
aware is mis- actual accuser, the charges
grow out of the recent Woodland
Beach raids instigated by Captain
William A. Stokesbury, who had the
big bay resort pulled for its open Sun
day selling and playing. The warrants
were placed in the hands of Sheriff
Baker early Friday morning, the
Woodland Beach concessionaries, who
are the Magistrates accusers, having
been at Dover at work all night on the
case. Deputy Sheriff Foreaker was
detailed to go to Smyrna and serve the
warrants upon the magistrate, bring
ing hin to Dover forthwith, but when
he reached Smyrna, Magistrate Cum
MINIS had gone to Wilmington on a
business trip. The deputy waited for
his temperance which was not until
Friday afternoon. Magistrate Cum
minis waived hearing and gave bail
for the October term of court on all the
charges against him. He returned to
Smyrna that evening. Fines aggre-
eating $3.50 may be meted out to the
Smyrna justice by Magistrate Wood if
all the allegations against him are
sustained. The warrants, which are
issued severally, by James r. Mott,
Robert L. Boyd, Samuel Mood, and
John Wiley, aver in a long citation
in writing that the defendant Robert
