Driving Accident.

AS Prof. and Mrs. G. G. Walker
and child, Of West Nottingham,
were returning to their home on
Thursday evening of last week, from
Rising Sun, their team was run
into at the western end of Cherry
street, 10y one driven by two men
and coming into town at rapid
rate. The vehicle occupied by
Prof. Walker and his family was
overturned and the occupants
thrown out. Fortunately they
escaped serious injury, but were
badly shaken up and bruised.
Their buggy was complete wreck,
the shafts being broken, one wheel
smashed and the top torn off. The
reckless drivers escaped unhurt,
and showed their true stripe of
manhood by not so much as pausing
to inquire if the occupants of the
other vehicle were injured, or the
extent of the damage they had
caused.

No Canal At Dover.

The project to build canal con.

alton at this time. The object was
to improve both streams and build
a canal connecting them, with q
view to having this waterway pass
through or near Dover.
The Chief of Engineers in his re.
port on the matter states that the
improvement of st. Jones' and
Little River, Delaware, with a view
to connecting the same, at or near
Dover, by canal, or diverting one
of the said streams, is not worthy
to be undertaken by the United
States government, and recommends
that no survey be made. An ex-
animation of the two streams and
proposed canal route was author
lied by the River and Harbor act.
The canal would shorten the dis.
lance between Dover and Phila-
delphia about IA miles.

Thomas Murpy, colored, finally be-
ing landed in the lookup, the latter
on the charge of interfering with
the officers in the discharge of their
duty. The trio escaped from the
"jug" some time during the night,
the superstition being they had out
side help. The escape was made
through the small ticket window
of the lookup, the shutter with
which it was closed being knocked
off and the men managing to squeeze
through the small space. Murphy
was apprehended and placed under
bond for his appearance when
wanted. The others have not been
located since. Earlier in the eve.
ming William Campbell, of Glenroy,
Pa, was arrested for drunken and
disorderly conduct and while being
taken to the Magistrates Office for
trial was rescued by mob of his
friends. He later gave himself up
and was mulcted with a heavy fine.
On Tuesday evening Garfield
Brinton was arrested and fined %
and costs for his share of the drunk
en- disturbance Saturday night, and
other warrants are out for persons
who interfered with the bailiffs,
the town authorities being deter

will either have to respect the law
or abide by the consequences.
Eugene Jones was hailed before

OF disturbing the peace Sunday
night, at a late hour, Jones drove
into town at breakneck speed,
making the welkin ring with his
drunken yells. His vehicle collid-

street, the horse being thrown
down and the driver spilled out.
Jones decamped while several
citizens were Strengthening out the
tangle, but was given his dues when

Wednesday,.
The quickest and surest way to
abolish these outbreaks OF disorder
is for the citizens to lend their aid
to the commissioners by voluntary
testimony against and one who in
any way disturbs the peace of the
town. The commissioners will en-.
force the law if they have the evil
dence for conviction.
