GOSSIP ABOUT
REAL ESTATE
Many Fires Affect Market
Numerous Transactions.

The past week has been a severe
thousands Of dollars having gone up
in black smoke. The con~flagrations,
though, may be a real benefit, as 1t
is said that the G. Pardee works will
rebuild their building which was
burned Wednesday morning, and
that John s. Hanson will erect an
other factory for the Wilentz To-
bacco Company. Both structures are
understood to be of modern design,
and more handsome than those con-
sumed by flames.
Investors are now putting their
money In suburban woodland, pur-
chasing pine Xmas trees. rather than
blocks, lots or plots of land. The
land merchants are now spending
semi-vacation in their Offices until
after the Yuletide and all the divert
ing things which fill the mind SO
full of happiness, that the gray ma
chinery does not work to c%onjure UP
the price of the real estate mans
staple wares.
There have been a number of
transactions in the city this week,
but not as many as the m%anipula-
tors of city property, in spite of the
approaching holiday season, a little
later. One of the transactions within
the corporate limits was the purchase
of the saloon property owned by the
late Carl Nelson, which was sold at
a foreclosure of a fortgage by the
sheriff, by Mrs. l. Solomon for
S9100.

Wheeler company, and both had pro-
cured cyanide there.
As outlined by Assistant Prosecutor

to the jury, the motive alleged against
.3ochefort was infatuation for a wo-
man other than his wife.
The same motive, it was urged on
the trial. prevailed in the MacFarland
case, the ''other woman" in shat In
stance being Florence Bromley. Mac
Farland's Philadelphia sweetheart and
author Of the notorious Bunny" let
etrs.
Rochefort was alleged to have been
infatuated with Miss May de Barleon
of 81 Court street, this city, and to
have married her In New York OF

Mrs. Rochefort testified at length
concerning the alleged attempts on her
life by her husband. She declared on
the stand that on three occasions she
discovered a foreign substance In her
coffee. the last Of which was on June
~ last. She detected something
wrong, she testified, by a peculiar odor.
On this occasion Mrs. Rochefort
poured the contents OF her cup into a
glass and hid 1t until her husband left
the house. She then hurried to the
Seventeenth avenue police station and
later Rochefort was arrested. A small
vial Of cyanide Of potassium was found

this week the promotion of John T.
Ransom a former Smyrna boy. son
of Mrs. W. N. Rransom, of this
town, to the position Of Superin-
tendent of the Pullman Palace Car
Company. Mr.. Ransom started with
the Company 25 years ago and by
close application and making the
best of his opportunities has risen
to a position of trust and response
biltiy, and become one of the big
officials of the Company. His pro-
motion all the way along has been
made through merit and the story
of his success might we'll be emu
lated by other Smyrna boys who
leave their home to battle with

congratulate Mr.. Ransom and wish
him continued success in the work
he has so ably made good in every
step in his rise to the top.

While being congratulated on
their good business deal in dispos-
ing of their interest in the Will
mington Evening Journal to another
syndicate, at such aattering sum.
there is nevertheless regret at
seeing two of our well-known former
Smyrnians-Albert W. Cummins and
Gilbert S. Jones-relinquish their
holdings in this estimable journal.
They have made good in every re-
spect and the wish of the Delaware
newspaper fraternity, is that they
will continue in the journalis-
tic work. Mr.. Cummins, however,
will retire and another former
Smyrna boy, George Carter, will
"mount the editorial tripod" which
he vacates. Mr.. Carter served his
apprenticeship on The Smyrna
Times and made the best of his op-
oprtunities wherever he has gone
and as a newspaper man and writer
enjoys a well-earned reputation. 1t
is a pleasure for US to recount the
success of former Smyrna boys and
il is with some feeling of pride
that we doff our hat to Albert W.
Cummins, Gilbert S. Jones and
George Carter. May success con-
tinue with them abundantly.

-~@~-E
Smyfna.snd what it is doing on a
low tax rate is being held up as a
model town by some of our State
newspapers. The Middletown Trans
cript recently commented favorably
upon US which called forth the fol-
lowing communication from Prog
ress'' published in the last issue of
the Transcript: There was an
item in your paper last week about
the low tax rate of the town of
Smyrna. II Middletown had an in
coma from it's Light and Water
Plant of $1,000, from its Opera
House (?) of s4OO and could assess
personal property. all of which they
have and do in Smyrna, then we
could have a rate of so cents or
less. Another advantage that
Smyrna has,, is good streets that
cost very little to keep them in re-
pair, and which helps keep the rate
down. There has been nothing paid
out for repairs on the stone road
out by Mr.. Peverley's since it was
built: that is a practical illustra-
tion. which we can all see, Of the
economy of having streets built ot
more permanent material than dir
and gravel. Progress.
