DEMAND FOR
COUNTY BONDS
James F. NieIdS Reports
Local Securities Are Being
Sought For

The New Castle County Levy Court
will turn over to James F. Nields on
Tuesday of next week county bonds to
the value Of $4,000 Mr.. Nields, who
is a Wilmingtonian. purchased the is
sue in competition with bankers Of
New York, Philadelphia and Whining
ton two weeks ago, and has since re-
ceived many applications for the
securities, which are of the denomina-
ton of $1,000. The bonds bear four and
one-half Der cent. interest, payable
semi-annually.
That the bonds sold at $1O0.s5 above
par, indicates the faith financial in
terests have in New Castle county Sc
curities as safe and profitable invest
ments, and the members of the Levy
Court have since been congratulating
themselves because Of the fact A
recent similar issue had to be with
drawn by the county because of the
fact that financial conditions at the
time did not warrant the expenditure
by bankers Of so large an amount OF
money for county securities. Some
satisfaction was obtained, however.
from knowing that even New York
and Philadelphia could not get bidders
for their bonds.
AS late as three weeks ago it was
said the local bonds would not sell al
par because of the continued scarcity
Of money. but OF the eight bidders for
the issue only one firm, Knouts and
Brother. of New York. offered a bid for
the entire issue at a figure below par.
Five bids were at figures above par
and the other two bidders offered to
take the issue at par.
That Mr.. Nields obtained the issue
was pleasing news to his many friends
in this city. He reports a demand for
the securities and hopes to have them
placed with many investors in a short
time. The bonds mature during the
eleven years following the year 1895
They are not subject to call.
The proceeds of the issue win be APP
piled to the building of the new county
roads this year. Principal of the high.
ways to be rebuilt are the Newport
/ Turnpike. to Stanton, and the ole
Lancaster pike, to Hockessin.

PLAN TO HASTEN
CANAL BUILDING
Col. BeasIey Has a Bond
Issue Idea in
View
IMPROVEMENT NEEDED NOW

With sentiment heartily in favor OF
the construction OF a series OF canals
from Cape Cod to Beaufort. n. c.. in
which Delaware is so vitality interested.
there is a growing feeling that the
work should not be delayed.
one Of the most enthusiastic of those
advocating the system OF inland water
ways along the Atlantic seaboard is
Col. W. +. Beasley, a native of Ply
mouth, N. c., and a resident OF Balti-
more. For 40 years Colonel Beasley
has been urging the necessity OF a
canal between the waters OF Virginia
and North Carolina. He has a plan
which he believes win insure the quick
construction or me canals, and has
presented II for the consideration OF
Congressman Hiram r. Burton, who is
engaged in framing a bill upon the sub.
ject. He proposes to issue bonds on
each section as finished. The advant-
age afforded by the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal in this particular Is
that II already represents tangible
property on which bonds could be is
sued for the carrying on Of construc-
Colonel Beaslev is thoroughly imbued
with the one idea Of securing a free
waterways course from Cape Cod to
Beaufort, N. c. II has been a life
work with him. Forty years ago he
began his campaign and in 1873 he was
delegate to represent North Carolina
in the great commercial convention
which met in Chicago. with over / ,S0C
delegates present, representing every
State in the Union.
Colonel Beasley does not believe
either the Dismal Swamp Canal or the
Albemarle and Chesapeake Canals
feasible in carrying tho route South
which was the reason for his motion
He prefers a middle route, which has
already been surveyed by the govern
ment engineers.
The middle route. known as the
Cooper Creek route, runs in a direci
line from a point near the beginning
Of the Dismal Swamp Canal TO IN,
Albemarle Sound. and is much shorter
than either the Dismal Swamp or thu
Albemarle or Chesapeake Canals. Tit
latter is in constant danger of filllnE
up, he says, while It would require
| much more excavation to bring eithe
the Dismal Swamp Canal or the Abe
marie and Chesapeake down to tn
level of the Cooper Creek, which .
practically a sea-level route and woul'
not require locks.

VERDICT OF CORONER'S JURY At
GREELEY IN BAiNBRIO0e
INQUEST.
CHARGE OF MURDER
TESTIMONY OF YOUNG WIFE
WHOSE HUSBAND KILLED
HER FATHER.

Denver-A Greeley special OF the
Denver Republican says:
The verdict of the coroners jury IN
the inquest over the body OF George
Bainbridge was that he came to his
death by gunshot wound. the gun be-
ing in the hands OF Calvin Philips,
the shooting on the ranch of j. B. Ly-
can. and the jury further found the act
to be felonious
Jesse Thatcher. the brother-in-aw of
the dead man, recovered sufficiently
from the blow on the head, said TO
have been inflicted by Phillips, to be
able to appear at the inquest as wit
ness Phillips mother, Mrs White,
the young wife, and JEFF Bainbridge,
her brother. were all on the stand and
said they were eye witnesses OF the
tragedy
The testimony of all was about the
same except that Mrs. White said that
Young cambridge stood at the window
OF the house with a gun in his hand
Just before her son fred the fatal shot,
hat the father-in-law attempted to kill
rniilips with a hoe and that her son
shot to defend himself
1t was also brought out in the evil
dence that Bainbridge was alleged to
have said that he was going to his SON
in-law's house to clean them out"
The testimony OF young Mrs. Phil
lips was touching. She acknowledged
that she wrote a letter to her sister
last week saying that she tMrs. Phil
lips) was unhappy but said today that
her unhappiness was because of her
mother-in-law and not on account of
her husband, who treated her kindly
and whom she loved Mrs. Phillips
said that the first shot fired during the
quarrel was fired by her. She said she
saw her husband was about to aim at
her father and she pulled the trigger
and sent the shot into the floor
She then ran outside to her father,
and it is alleged by witnesses that
while she stood with her hands on her
fathers shoulders Phillips fired
through the window and killed Balm
bridge.
Phillips mother was not agitated
while giving her testimony. She said
it was she who went after the Platte
vile officer to make the arrest
From the evidence of all the wit
nesses it appears that the gun taken
by the old man to Phillips house was
not loaded.
The widow of the murdered man is
prostrated over the affair and it is
feared she may not recover. She did
not appear as a witness. not being able
to leave her bed. She and her daugh-
ter have been estranged since her
daughters marriage against the
wishes of her parents two months ago.
Mrs. Phillips brother tried to per
suade young Mrs. Phillips not to re-
turn t. the ranch, but to go home with
them to her mother. who was anxious
to see her. She insisted. however. and
accompanied her mother-in-law home
saying that there would be no trouble
between them. Phillips. who is in jail
here, has said nothing whatever con
cerning the tragedy.
