Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1909-08-13

Every Evening laid so much stress
upon two weeks ago. There were
not over fifty or one-hundred peo-
pie in Milford who knew anything
of this affair, which occurred down
the Mispillion at the phosphate
factories, and trailed up into the
east end of the town. The condi-
tons of Milford from a moral stand
point, and from every stand point,
are a thousand times better under
local option than they were under
the license system, and the people
know it. Statements have been
made of huge quantities of liquor
coming to Milford, at various times.
We have time and again run such
statements down, and in each in
stance we have found the facts ex-
agerated more than three times the
actual number of packages, and
often more than quadrupled. There
are those who drink liquor in Mil
ford, as there are in other towns
there are those who will never stop
until the grave yawns before them;
there are those who formed the
habit Of social drinking under the
4" bar system of treating, who
find the habit hard to breakaway
from; but, it is a fact, that the boys
growing up to-day, are not ex-
posed to the alurements Of the open
bar rooms, and the social drinking
bouts which they met under the
open bar system. We know, for
BUR personal experience in the past {
was such that we can speak know
ngly of the conditions. Only time
will remove from any community j
he habitual drinker. and those who !
honestly believe that a stimulant ]
S necessary to them will continue b
o get 1t from one source or another,
tut the recruits do not come from
uch as these. Making the sale of
iquor crime, destroys the popu- A
arity of social drinking among the
outh of the land f; for until the r
aste for liquor and beer is cultiva- OIL
I'd or acquired, there is no danger $,
f any normal boy or girl becoming
drunkard, or even using liquors

IN CHARGE

AS a result of the decision rem
dered Saturday afternoon by Judge
Orr, giving MRS. Nellie G. McCor-
mick the title TO a one sixth inter
est in the estate left by her mother,
Mrs. Margaret Winters, a petition
asking that she be appointed admin
istratriX of the estate left by her
mother was filed by Mrs. Mccormick
as soon as the decision was rendered
The petition for letters OF adminis-
tration sets out that Mrs. Winters
died on May 80, 1898, without ieav-
ing will. 1t is alleged she died

ued at $3S,625. OF this property The

Winters left jewelry valued at two
thousand dollars. The balance OF the

also represented Mrs. Mccormick in
the suit to set aside the deeds con-
veying the property to the other heirs
Of the estate who. are Archie Winters
Theodore Longabaugh and Nettie NJ
Gregory.
The court held. that the deed sign
ed by Mrs. Mccormick transferring
her share of hcr mothers estate to
her father George Winters was exc
cuted with tae implied understand
ing that it should be reconveyed to
her as soon as her father secured a
firmer financial footing. 1t was held
that his failure to do this was a fraud
on the rights of Mrs. Mccormick, that
the deed later was null and void for
This reason and that Mrs. Mccormick
was entitled to one sixth interest in
the property. =. y.

SHOT
AT VETERAN

The first trouble at Ely, where 400
day when two over jealous guardians
of the unfractured peace shot two
miners who were near the Veteran
mine works and did not move fast
enough to suit the policemen.
The men were within a quarter of
mile of the Veteran shaft when
die.
1t might be a good idea to send
the state police to guard the miners
of Ely and Veteran agains, snarchis-
tic peace officers under the employ
there of the smelter trust.

City Trustees met last night and
started what will be the most bene
fetal action yet taken to improve the
city of Carson City.
A committee, consisting OF Trus-
tees Lennon, Esser and Stewart
was appointed to investigate the wa
ter situation as relates fire protec-
tion, TO ascertain fully the causes
of the failure of pressure July ., to
estimate the cost OF IA municipal sys'
TEN aud to incur the necessary eX-
pense in so doing, the Chief instruc-
tion being to present TO the city
council u comprehensive report upon
which to proceed.
A committee Of one, Trustee Stew
art. was delegated to present plan
for eliminating the open bitches ana
water ways that bisect the city and
10 arrange TO turn the Hood waters
from Kings Canyon around the city.
Trustee Day was delegated to pre-
sent plan to the city trustees TO-.
general street improvement. to go in
To the question of sidewalks, graded
streets and new streets and to pres
cnt comprehensive plan for genera
Improvement of the city.
All these committees were instruct
ed to get busy and TO incur the nee
essary expense in their work and to
present their report at the earliest
possible date.
The appointment of these commit
tees followed u general discussion ol
the need for civic improvements.
Trustee Lennon was especially EN-.
phatc In his criticisms OF present
conditions In the capital city OF the
state and his confreres agreed with
him In every particular.
The city Is to be bonded for these
improvements as soon as definite
plans and ideas are presented upon
which TO base estimates. The city
marshall was instructed TO make
some tests with cement construction
IN order that tae trustees may know
what costs will be and the meeting
last night as whole was one of the
most important to- the city ever held
by the trustees.
IL was the concensus of opinion
that Carson City has outgrown her
present system of doing things and
that the time for change has come.
At no time has her financial condition
been better or the opportunity to do
u lot OF Improvement more timely.
The trustees propose to take advan-
tage Of these conditions and yank
old Carson City UP to the front of the
cities of the state, a place where she
by right and title belongs.
The wagon of Improvement has
started and II any one gets in the
way 1t is two to one he will get run

CITY TRUSTEES BEGIN WORK
FOR MUNICIPAL PROGRESS

I ditch along Telegraph street The
in new cement bridge across the
railroad ditch at Carson street and
Washington street ii the city attor-
ney decided the V. 4 T. is not liable
TO keep the bridge in repair. Treas
urvrs report showed on hand, 1856.
Fire Chief Evans appeared and
asked for an ordinance giving certain
members OF the fire company police
powers after an alarm and until the
tap out. He asked the trustees to do
something about extending fire mains
and said that his company will be un-
able to get stream on fire at the
Orphans Home or tle Capitol build
ing owing to lack of water pressure
and hydrants. The same is true oi
The high school building and OF all
The large buildings in the city. He
declared that the Orphans Home is
without fire protection OF any kind
be put over the Curry House as it is
muca better bell and the Curry
bell is inadequate. He was instruct
ed to present the form OF ordinance
required to make the fire department
responsible body and was instruct
ed to impress any team in time OF
fire alarm to maui the apparatus to
he fire and to instruct the teamSter
to put in bin to the city for $3.50,
or in extraordinary cases $500.
Evans statements led naturally to
the discussion of water and fire pro
lection. During the discussion Trus-
tee Stewart attempted to show that
the water pressure at all times is
so pounds to the square inch and at
certain points on the pipe line ii is
IN pounds. He was challenged to
prove that such pressures can be OBJ
tained from any pipe line in the city
limits. a challenge he did not accept
He also stated that the city consum-
es daily l,5UO.0O0 gallons OF watei
through an eight inch pipe, and TINS
statement also failed to meet with
any applause from the gallery or
elsewhere. The trustees finally
agreed TO give the water company
chance to show such presSu:eS un-
der any condition they might create
and to show flow of l .Jo0.000 gai-
Ions through the eight incl main that
serves the city.
Members of the Promotion ASSO-
citation which has been invited to
send delegation to meet with the
trustees at all times, We're cOnspicu-
Gus by their absence at this, one OF
the most important meetings of tle
year
The trustees expressed wish TO
hear from the Association in regard
to probable support in their plans but
stated that they should so ahead
while cOnfessing that this support
would be lot more comfortable if
forthcoming. After a deSultOry dis
cussion of various matters in con-
nection with the work of the new
committees the meeting adjourned.

Carson City has organized a build

move and should be followed by 9TH

such town as ElkO, for example,
where a considerable growth of popu-
lation is expected and the perman-

and the child studies of Jessie Wilcox
Smith, which are universally popular,
especially the latter's latest production,
''The Seven Ages of Childhood"
If the pride of Pennsylvania, as a
State, in her gifted painters, is wholly
iustifable, may not Honesdale be par
doned word of extravagant praise OF
two artists which she is privileged to
claim as her very own? One of these,
Jennie Brownscombe, has spent much
time in and about her native town, inn
mortalizing the beauty of its surround
ing country. Her painting, "The Peace
Ball." which ranks among the finest ex-
ampes of colonial creations, warrants
her being classed with the devotees OF
history. Our other local artist is William
II. Ham, whose paintings, while not as
famous as those of Miss Brownscombe,
are not less appreciated by an admiring
townspeople.
But there is no reason why we should
marvel at Pennsylvania superiority in
the field of art. 1t is rather thing tC
be accepted as matter of course since
with literary ability, cultivated taste and
creative genius, it would be sheer i'm
possibility for art to fail in finding noble
Repression. AS this has been impressed
upon us, to the extent OF having become
an undisputable fact, SO must we i'm
press it upon the rising generation, ir
order that they may be inspired to sci
still more brilliant jewels in the crown
of Pennsylvania.

tions which attracted the public eye to-
ward her work, and won her well de-
served renown.
The sons and daughters of old Pennsyl-
vania are, as is their usual custom, in
the foremost rank. They have contrib
uted to art, masterpieces which will in
spire their fellow-mento to grander thoughts
and nobler actions. They have uplifted
the Keystone State, until in this field it
ranks among the first stars in the gal
axy of the Union. 1t was perhaps due
to the hardships which the sturdy
Quakers encountered in the early settle
ment of Pennsylvania that more atten-
ton was not given to painting, but now
we feel that the great wealth of art stor-
ed in the descendants of these stern
Quakers will continue to develop, and
we may we'll prophesy glorious
future for Pennsylvania in the realm of
art.
