ONLY WATERFALL
 FOR BUSY BURGLAR
WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RESULT HAD HE OPENED PARK HOTEL
 SAFE AS ATTEMPTED.
Everything in Large Safe Was Burned to Crisp and it Contained Nothing of Value When Opened by Force Yesterday.

When some busy burglar attempted some time during Friday night to force open the large safe that had been taken out of the Park Hotel fire debris, he was taking chance on prison term for nothing. Yesterday 1t was observed that some attempt had been made to force open the large doors of the safe, so MT. F. F. Klein. in charge of the property, had P P. Wood to force open the safe tha. it might be examined.
 Behind the inside doors there was stacked a mass of crumpied black ruins. Not book or ledger had page that could have been saved. There might have been other yalua- ble papers In the various apartments of the big safe, but even the apart fents were gone.
 The safe had been under The ruins for about six weeks, and during that time within a bed of coals. When q hard rain set in soon after the fire
 the safe was not taken out. for 1t
 was believed that rain had stopped
 the smouldering fire. However only
 recently when the teams were remov- ing .his debris it had been found that the embers were still hot. and in some
 instances when loaded on the wagons,
 scorched the wagon beds.
 About the only things in it's original
 form taken from the safe were very ! few of the burned and blackened bil- Hard balls, which had been stored there, and the original form of few nut crackers. which were badly waTp-
 ed and blackened, but were sill h sufficient form to be worth while as souvenirs of the occasion.

TOMATO GROWER SUES
TORSCH CANNING co.

Ia a salt before Esquire Wood last
Friday afternoon. Ira Roberts.
tomato grower. got a decision for SIP
against F. A. Torsch who he had sued
for Sl3425, claiming this amount due
him for his last years tomato crop.
Torsch acknowledge that he owned the
man Sl0S but disputed his right to
collect the balance of the money. The
trial was before three referees, J..
Stanley Short. Harry Windsor and
Asbury Smith. The farmer claimed
that he was entitled to the delivery of
a certain number of baskets each day
under the terms of his contract. but
that during the glut last he was unable
to deliver them. as a result of which
two wagon loads which he had delivered
were not accepted because Of their poor
condition. He weighed the tomatoes,
carried them back to the factory and
threw them of of his wagon. His
claim was that TOrsch was bound to
accept them, and that he should not
loose the money for them because they
had deteriOrated while awaiting a turn
to get to the factory. After a hearing
of the case which lasted the entire
afternoon the referees allowed Roberts
SIP. The case was Of more than pass
ing interest to the farmers in that they
are anxious to ascertain just what they
can claim for their crops which ruin
because of the inability of the Gamers

BASE BALL

Ia one Of the worse games played on
the local diamond this season. Dover
easily defeated the Milford team by the
score Of 9 to 5 on Tuesday afternoon.
The game from start to finish was one
continuous round of contention by the
players on both teams. So disgusted
did many persons who had paid admis-
sion to witness the game become. that
they left before the game had been
completed 1t was just such conduct.
grumbling and growing on the part
Of the players which killed the game in
Milford a few years ago. Following
the Inauguration of this kind of depOrt-
ment. the crowd stopped attending II e
game and as a result the grounds were
sold This year. fair crowds have at
tended each game, but many persons
who left Tuesday have been heard to
remark that they have seen enough for
this year. If the Milford boys wish to
haze the support of the public, they
must play a clean game and see that
their opponents do the same. People
enjoy witnessing a good clean game of
ball, but they do not invest their money
to look at a crowd of excited players
arguing among themselves. The Davis
brothers, who pitched and caught for
Milford. played a fine game. And had
any support have been given them the
5 ore might have been different.

way NOT LEAGUE.

The L. D. Caulk Company. large
dental manufacturers located at Milford,
have equipped the employees of their plant
with an entire outfit for playing base
ball The team has played two games;
one with Harrington, which they won, the
other with a team from the basket mill,
which they lost. The Caulk team and
the basket mill team should form a
necleus for forming four team league
in Milford which could afford some
wholesome amusement on Saturday
afternoons throughout the summer to
the base ball enthusiasts. There are
surely enough good ball players left
from these two teams to organize two
other fast organizations in Milford. In
this manner more interest in the game
can be aroused. The Chronicle will be
glad to publish any suggestions for
forming such league which any of the
readers may suggest. Let's have a
home league.

KENT ROADS SELECTED
OUT FOR IMPROVEMENT

At a special meeting Of the KEN
County Levy Court to consider the roaC
question that is, the selecting Of the
roads in the county to be improved under
the new Kent County good roads act,
the following were agreed upon by the
court:
Cedar Lane road. in the First district,
Commissioner Ford.
Dover to Denney's Corner. Second
district, Commissioner Keith.
Clayton to Blackston's 5 roads. Third
district, Commissioner Thomas.
Marydel to farm of Henry Williams
road, Fourth district, Commissioner
Vircen.
Dover to Camden and the Walker
Packard road Commissioner DOnOho.
FELTON, to HOllandsville, Sixth district,
Commissioner Sylvester.
Camden to Woodside, Seventh district
Commissioner Murray.
From state road by way of Warren 5
school house to Bowers Beach road, and
from the Sixth district, into FELTON, on
to Rice canning factory, all in the
Eight district, Commissioner Cam.
Staytonville to Houston in the Ninth
district, Commissioner Booth.
The Tenth district roads were deferr-
ed until another meeting.
County Engineer Kenney recommend
ed the borrowing of $50. 900 for road
Improvement on the surveys he had
made and the roads recommended. The
recommendation was adopted.
Farmers who reside along the line of
the petitioned good road between Mil
ford and Frederick, are greatly dis
appointed that the Kent County Levy
Court deferred action on the road. The
petitioners are pointing out that theirs
was the only road petitioned for under
the new good roads law in the Tenth
district, and that as the other districts
each presented several petitions, the
Tenth should be recognized.
The matter was laid over until the
next meeting of the Levy Court, at
which time it is more than likely that
persons interested in the proposed new
improved road will come before the
body to make their claims. The road
in question is one of the worst in Kent
County, in addition tC which it is a part
of the main state road leading from the
northern border of the state to the
Maryland and Virginia lines.
