STATE FINANCES ARE
IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
SPLENDID RECORD MADE BY
THE STATE ALONG THIS LINE
A Balance of 100000 will be on
Hand at the End of the Present
Year-Appropriations Kept UP

Neutrality-suspicious. Kept Up
When the Legislature convenes at
its regular session on January Z, the
members will find the finances of the
State in an excellent condition and
that the record made by the State
along this line during the past years
is one that State much larger and OF
many more resources might we'll be
proud. There will be no necessity
of borrowing to meet current ex-
penses. A brief resume of the
finances for the past years under the
Republican administration show facts
that are very surprising and gratify-
ing to the citizens. There was, at
the beginning of this peroid, in the
General Fund of the State about
S136, 900. During this time, the
State has built and furnished a New
State House at the cost of over 800, )
600, erected State Armory at Dover
at cost of SIS, 900 and also pur-
chased good, interest bearing bonds,
to be held aginst outstanding indebt-
edness, to the amount of over $50, =
600. All this has been done out of
the balance on hand, and the receipts
during that time. in addition to pay
ing all current expenses during the
four years. AS the approximate bal
ance that will be on hand at the end
of the present year will be $50, 600,
it will be seei that Delaware has,
during this time, made net gain OF
about S12O, 900. In considering this,
it should also be borne in mind that
the appropriations for purposes bene-
fetal to the people of this State have
been regularly increased as needed.
The fact that more than 5000, 00C
exclusive of the School Fund is spent
by the State Government on Education
alone, to say nothing of the amounts
spent on other institutions and pur'
poses of public interest, such as pre-
servation of health, agriculture, hos
pitfalls, ETC., should be a matter o.
pride TO all true Delawareans. In ad
dition to these figures regarding th'
General Fund of the State, there ha
been established a Sinking Fund fo
the purpose of liquidationg the publi
debt, and the growth and investmen
of this Fund has been at such a rat
as to almost cover outstanding bond
at the time of their maturity withou
any refunding issues. The most direc

PENNSY TO BE ELECTRIFIED
Plans Being Formulated to Use Elec-
trio Power on Maryland Division.

Employees in the operating depart
ment of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in Baltimore, have received
orders to report in Philadelphia at
regular intervals and there receive
instruction in the handling of electric
motors. The taking of these instruc-
tions is optional with the men, the
railroad company, however, prefers
to give its men preference over out
siders in the new line of work. 1t is
calculated that the change from steam
to electricity as the motive power
will take place within two years. 1t
is said that the entire Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington road will
be electrified. The power will be
generated, it is understood at the new
| plant shortly to be erected at Como
wingo, on the Susquehanna River. 1t
is also said that sites for transform
ing stations between Baltimore and
Washington have already been ac-
| quired. Officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company have had in view
for several years the substitution of
electricity for steam as a motive
power. They have delayed the ex-
ecution of these plans until they were
entirely satisfied with the economy
and practicability of the system, with
which they have conducted a long
series of experiments. This system
has been successfully installed in the
tunnel of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company under the East River, New
York. The first section to be cleo
trifed will be that through Balti-
more, including the two tunnels. Re-
lief of the tunnels of smoke conges-
tion is considered to be of prime i'm.
portanee. With this Inauguration ot
the system in this city will disappear
the nuisancre caused by smoke. Bal

indication of States healthy financial
condition is the fact that Delaware
has assets in excess of all liabilities
of more than $1,OOO,O0O. These
figures are all the more remarkable
when it is remembered that all this
has been accomplished without State
Tax on property of any description.

Court Her Property Is En-
croached Upon.

Mariana P. Seaman has Instituted
proceedings in equity against Jacob Zarin
and others, seeking to enjoin them from
using party walls of the plaintiff without

The complaint, filed through attorneys,
Wilton ]. Lambert and r. H. Yeatman.

1772 Columbia road northwest, and that
the defendants, excepting the contractor,
are the owners of an intervening lot that
her houses have party walls erected in
accordance with the regulations in force
in this District and that the defendants
are erecting a brick building, making use
of plaintiffs party walls, although prior
to the commencement Of their building
operations they did net make compensa-
ton to her for such Use as required by
the regulations and the law.
The bill prays that the defendants be
enjoined from continuing the erection of
their building by the use of the party
walls of the plaintiff and that they be
compelled to tear down SO much OF the
walls as encroach upon the party walls
of plaintiff.
Chief Justice Clabaugh today issued a

cause why the relief asked for should not
be granted.

.S|FT G|RL-BR|DE'S SANITY
Alma Edwards Returned From
Baltimore After Creating
Scene on Train.

Refused admission to the House of the
Good Shepherd in Baltimore yesterday
afternoon because her sanity was ques-
toned, Alma Florence Edwards, seven
teen years DID, resident of Richmond, Va,
was returned to this city later in the day
and sent to the Washington Asylum Hos
pital. She will be held under observation
until her mental condition is determined.
The seventeen-year-old bride was first
arrested as a fugitive from the home OF
her father, Jesse Page, West Main street,
Richmond. At that time the physicians
turned to Richmond. Last Saturday her
brother stopped in this city on his way to
the institution in Baltimore, and Mrs. Ed
wards got away from him. She was
found later by the police and sent to the
hospital.
Yesterday her brother returned to
Washington and accompanied his sister
to Baltimore. When the officials at the
Baltimore institution refused to admit
her the brother started to return to
Richmond.
Bit Brother on Train.
Trouble started on the train. Mrs. Ed
wards abused her brother and bit him,
the police say, giving him the same treat
ment she gave Policeman Emmert the
first time she was arrested in this city.
Noise made by the struggling couple in
the corridor at police headquarters yes
terday afternoon attracted the attention
of Detective Weldon. He persuaded the
girl to walk into the office of Inspector
Boardman, where she repeated the state
ment she made Saturday night about the
BLACK Hand organization.
When the detectives suggested that she
be sent back to the hospital the prisoner
leaped over the railing and started to-
ward the street But she was overtaken
and sent to the hospital. Her troubles
were reported to Sanitary Officer Sroufe,
a charge of insanity preferred against her
and she will be given a thorough exam
ination. Should she be declared insane
1t is probable she will be sent to Rich
mond.
