THE LEVY COURT

At the afternoon session of the Levy

was the chief topic. 1t was decided to re-
build the road from Red Clay Greek
bridge to White Clay Creek bridge
through Stanton and Christiana. The
road is expected to cost in the neighbor.
hood of $500, as bid by Stewart &
Donohue. At present there is total of
of S., 900 in that fund. This road was
championed by Commissioner Hopkins
and opposed strenuously by Commissioner
Scott, because of the funds.
Bills to meet the two Republican and
one Democratic primary elections, aggre-
eating about $1,000, were allowed.
A long discussion took place over a
bill of $3.50 for extras presented by War
rem B. Watson, for engineering work on
Newport turnpike. The whole bill
amounted to $725.20, which was thought,
by some of the members, to be too much
for the amount OF work. The bill was re-
ferred to the highway commissioner for
report.
Adjournment was taken until next
Tuesday, October 9th.
The commissioners inspected the
road from Odessa to Pine Tree Friday,
for the purpose Of examining the work.

KILLED IN A WRECK

As the result of a wreck on the Della.
ware division of the P, B. & W. Railroad,
at Mt Pleasant, Friday afternoon of last
week, one man was killed, several freight
cars were demolished and traffic was tied
up for several hours. The dead man is
unknown and he was evidently a tramp
who was beating his way on the train.
When the debris was cleared away his
body was found with life crushed out.
He had evidently been instantly killed.
From what could be learned about the &C.
cident, several freight cars were being
shifted on a side track when a freight
train, north bound, passed the entrance
to the switch. In some manner one of the
cars on the side track was pushed too far
ahead and into the moving train. The
collision which followed completely
wrecked several cars.

UNIFORM HIGH SCHOOL COURSE

A course of study for the State High
Schools was adopted by the State Board
of Education at its quarterly meeting at
Dover Friday on the recommendation of
the superintendent and principals Of Sus-
sex county. The course was adopted for
one year for Sussex county. No high
school course has heretofore been adopted
ed for the State schools. There is now
in effect an elementary course upon which
the superintendents of the three counties
are working and it will probably be re-
vised. When the high school course is
completed any pupil will be as a graduate
of the Wilmington High School. The
course will be considered by the princi-
pals of Kent and New Castle counties,
and whatever is agreed upon after their
recommendations have been submitted,
will be the course in the State High
Schools.
