| On Tuesday evening, just after
8 o'clock. q pretty heavy wind
storm swept over this place So
far as we have been able to learn
no serious damage was done.
Mr.. LedOux +. Smith, we regret
to learn, contemplates making his
home at Alexandra IN the near fu-
lurc. This means that the social
world Of this city will lose one OF
Its most charming hostesscs IN the
person of Mrs. Smith. They have
a wide circle Of friends who will
share common regret at their de
parturc. Mr.. Smith has con
siderable property interests IN
the town aud plantation not far
from Alexandria. The care of
these interests makes it advisable 10
locate his home there. He does
not propose to dispose of his proper
ties here.

Twenty eight names have been
added to the list of subscribers up

FIGHTING FOR
SUPERINTENDENT

At the New Castle County Hospital
at Farnhurst to-day one OF the most
exciting contests for the superintend-
ency the institution has ever seen is
being waged.
There are a number Of candidates for
the office and each one has several ad-
herents among the trustees. so It can
readily be seen that the man elected
win not have an easy time gaining the
position unless a compromise is ef-
fected.
B. Frank Blackburn. the present in
cumbent, is a candidate for reelection.
but from what can be learned his
friends in the board are i'm the minor
ity. However, Mr.. Blackburn IS put
ting up a strong fight for tho office and
If defeated it will be b. a close margin.
The strongest opponent Mr. Black
burn has is James w. Foster. OF New
Castle. Five years ago when Mr..
Blackburn was elected to the place.
Mr.. Foster was a candidate for the
position Of superintendent. Since then
he has been a candidate for Sheriff at
two elections. He withdrew once and
again was defeated at the nomination.
It is asserted his followers in the board
OF trustees are strong enough TO put
him in the office OF superintendent OF
the hospital He is supposed to have
seven members now who are voting
Tor him, and II any Of the weaker can
didates withdraw their supporters will.
Il is asserted, switch over TO Fosters

"Such Is the condition in a neigh

although less than 100 acres in area.
involved the institution in "a $4,000 out
lay prior to 1883. Thereafter and prior
to 1896 a deficit of $4,000 was incurred.
Then the farm was placed absolutely
under private control. all produce 60

charge on the one condition that no
further demands OF any kind should bs
made by the afrm interest on the in
stitution.

In 1896 and remains in force to-day to
the satisfaction Of an concerned. OF
the total area OF 100 acres IS per cent
is placed at the disposal OF the college
and OF the station for purposes Of in
struction and experimentation. But in
