grief in the financial panic of last

day before Judge Hough and a feder-
al jury, developed two unpleasant
surprises to the defense, the govern

First II was brought out that the
jury will be locked up each night

was revealed that all of the gov.
ernment's material witnesses have
been under the surveillance of sec
ret service operatives and that they
will be closely watched all during
the trial.
The lawyers for the defense ex-
pressed indignation at the locking
up Of the jury and shadowing of wit

without precedeut in this city in
cases similar to the present trial, and
that It reflected upon the lawyers for

Big Sum for Road Building.
Permanent good roads and driv

Permanent good roads and drive
ways are practically assured central
and lower Delaware with the advent
of spring, according to a carefully
prepared statement made to the Kent
County Levy Court by James V. Nc
Commons, lare clerk of the court.
Mr.. McCOmmOns shows that by the
revival of additional five per centum
of tax for 1907, the county of Kent
collected S., 899. 81, beside its regular
road expenditures, and received from
the state, as per agreement guarn-
teed in the good roads act, chapter
143, volume %, Laws of Delaware,
similar sum, S5, 899.37. There is yet
to be collected, ne further shows, the
sum of $412. Is from the Sixth dis
trict, whereupOn the State will, i'm
mediately give another S412. 16, and
will make a grand total of $12, 623. 06.
AS this amount was received too
late in the year to begin extensive
road operations in 1907, it has practi-
cally been saved for a systematic
operation this spring, only 81, 744. IA
of the total amount having been ex-
pended. Nearly $40, 600 remain in the
hands of Treasurer Buckson and to
this will be added almost an equiva-
ent amount as fast as it can be col
lected next year, after July l. If
the collections are prompt this will

The Kent district which has the lar
gest amount to its credit is the second,

BLAcKBRO FIGHT FOR COMMISSIONER.

Blackbird, Feb. 25.-The fight that
is to be made by several well known
men of Blackbird Hundred for the
Democratic nomination for county
commissioner from the Seventh dis
trict, this fall, is already creating
much interest among the various pOlit-
ical leaders of lower New Castle
county. Thus far four of the best
known men have announced their can
didacies for this important position,
and owing to the popularity of each of
the quartet of candidates it is believed
that the coming contest will be the
most spirited one that has ever taken
place in the political arena of Black
bird Hundred. The candidates for the
office of county commissioner on the
Democratic side are Messrs. James
Buckson, George C. ROthwell, John

Shackell, son of Mrs. Mary A. Bent
ly, near Cheswold, and Miss Lavinia
Ford, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry c. Ford, also near Cheswold,
were married last Wednesday, 10Th
inst, at the home of the bride pa
rents, by Rev. E. H. Derrickson, of
Marydel, a former pastor. The bride
was attended by her cousin, Miss Ma
mie Buckson, as maid of honor, and
the groom was attended by Mr.. Cliff
ford Anderson as best man. A we'd
ding breakfast followed the nuptial
ceremony. The design was to have
purely a family wedding and the i'm
mediate families of the contracting
parties only were present. The groom
is popular and we'll thought of, as is
also the bride, and the wish that their
married life may be very happy and
prosperous IS very generally expressed
throughout this community.
