Is Liberated, Sufficient Evidence
Being Lacking.
HOLDEN GIVEN A FINE OF $4,000
Two Parties From Manila Were
Fined 5000, the Result of
Drunken Row.

District court adjourned ON Friday
last, Judge Powers returning to his
home at Carroll. There was little bus
mess transacted after the paper came
out a week ago. The case OF the state
against Adelbert Lee, in which the
defendant was charged with burglary,
committed by being concerned in the.
breaking into of a building at Arion,
came up for trial on Wednesday af-
ternoon, and after the testimony had
been concluded motion was made to
have the court direct verdict in
favor of the defendant. The claim was
made by the defendant that the testi-
mony in behalf of the state was fur
nished largely by an alleged accom-
plice and that there was no sufficient
court sustained the motion and dis
charged the defendant.
G. e. Holden, who was indicted at
a former term of the district court.
was recently arrested at Castana and
brought to Denison and on Wednesday
last entered a plea of guilty to the
charge in the indictment and was
fined $4,000 by Judge Powers. This
party was an agent for the Washing
ton Apparel company OF Chicago and
Sioux City. and was charged with
crookedness in his transactions
Two parties from Manila were
fined $4,000 each and costs. After
investigation it appeared that it was
nothing but drunken row in which
they were engaged.

The Denison high school basket ball
team broke even on the two games
they played last week, winning the
game at Vail last Wednesday evening
by score of l9 to 16, and losing the
game to Jefferson here Saturday eve
ming by a score Of Al to 22 The Vail
game was hard fought battle as both
teams were evenly matched and both
played their best. The game with
Jefferson, played at the Breuderschaft
hall Saturday evening, was one of the
best exhibitions of basket ball that
has been seen here this season. At
the beginning of the game it looked as
if it would be Denison's game with the
score 5 to 0, but at the close of the
first half Jefferson overcame Deni-
sons lead and the score stood Is to T..
The locals played a stiff game the sec
ond half but Jefferson was faster,
which resulted in their piling up Al
points to Denison %.

CITY TO BUILD
SANITARY SEWER
Contemplate Building Sanitary Sewer
Covering the Territory Adjacent
70 Washington Park.
DATE OF HEARING MARCH 2sTH
Purpose of Sewer to Protect City
Wells From Contamination-A
Needed Improvement

In another part of this paper will be
found preliminary notice regarding
the building of considerable sewer in
the first ward on Chestnut street and
surrounding Washington park. A pre-
liminary notice calls for a sewer on
Chestnut street, beginning at the in
tersection of Seagrave avenue and
running west to intersect with the
Washington avenue sewer. On Vine
street the proposed sewer will start
so feet west of the west line of Sea-
grave avenue and run west to the in
tersection of Jefferson avenue. On
Railroad avenue it is proposed to start
the sewer in the neighborhood of IS
feet west of Seagrave avenue and run
west to intersect with Washington
avenue. On Jefferson avenue the sew
er will run from Vine street to Rail-
road avenue. The date set for the
hearing of objections to the proposed
sewer is March 2Sth, at which time
the council will have meeting and
the owners of property abutting or ad-
jacent to the proposed lines of sewer
may be present and enter their objec-
tions. Should this line of sewer be
established it will be necessary to lay
new water mains ! the vicinity of
Washington park, as at present prop
erty owners in that locality are not
supplied with city water. The chief
reason for the building of this sewer
is to perfect the sanitary condition
surrounding the city wells. We are
informed that parties living south of
the proposed line of sewer will be com.
PEELED to build cement vaults and
these are to be cleaned twice each
year The preliminary notice will be
found on page of this issue.

To be at home with God.
It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed by tears,
And wake in glorious repose
To spend eternal years"

MILFORD BOY SCOUTS.

The paragraph relating to the Milford
Boy Scouts, which appeared in our last
issue, was not wholly correct, we are
informed. Dar Anderson is reorganiz-
ing the original scouts. who have for
some time been with an official head.
The Rev. Andrews, who is in charge of
the Rehoboth Boy Scouts. is organizing
a second troop, and has one full patrol
under instruction. The two Scout Mas
ters will work together in the interest
of the Movement and are making efforts
looking to the formation in the near
future of a Local Council of interested
citizens. The Boy Scout Movement is
now a worldwide institution. 1t has
proved its value 1t has come to stay.
The organization, properly controlled,
and run in accordance with the'principles
for which it stands, is of the utmost
value to boys of adolescent age. 1t is
worthy the active interest of our best
and busiest citizens. 1t is worthy the
warm support Of parents and friends Of
bows

An OPPORTUNITY FOR A BUSINESS.

The Town of Milford is absolutely
suffering for a day service of electric
current for domestic and power pur-
poses, and the Light and Water Com
mission has decided in fact, that it as
a special committee appointed by law
to supply a light and water supply for
the Town of Milford, and that it has
not the authority to supply and sell
to the people electricity for power /;
this is the information given to the
writer by a member of the Light and
Water Commission. Assuming that
this is the final action of that board,
it is up to the people of Milford
themselves to arrange for, and supply
the needs of the town at large in the
line of an electric day current, or any
period of the day, for power and other
purposes other than light. If the Light
and Water Commission is limited by the
act creating the Light and Water Board,
land it seems to be limited in the opinions
of the members of that body,) that there
can be no valid reason why private com
pany should not be organized and the
right to erect their poles and wires to
supply the electric current, be given
them. There is a constantly growing

like last Saturday. the stores could not
see to show goods or make change. and
places could not see to properly
work after the current from the Elec-
tric Light Plant of the Town was turned
off at eight O'Clock that morning. This
demonstrates the need Of a day service.
The Chronicle will sign an agreement
TO consume S400 worth of current each
year; the l.. d. Caulk Company, the
Milford Lumber Company. the Standard
Oil Company, all the ice cream manu-
features, all the stores, all shoe re-
Dairers where machines are used, all
homes where irons can be used. and
scores of other users will sign up for a
lay current. We have the Marshall
Mill Pond, the Haven Lake Pond Of
arge capacity to supply cheap power,
which can be operated at a low cost for /
operation. Who will take part in or
yanizing this business.

MILFORD GRANGE.

Last Saturdays meeting of Milford
Grange was very well attended. M.
Messick was obligated in the third and
fourth degrees. The subject before tie
grange for discussion was ''The Farm
Team. This had been continued from
a previous meeting. Drs. Roberts and
Miller gave much valuable information
pertaining to the subject, and almost
half the members present had a few
words to say, frequently offering valu-
able suggestions. These suggestion
were valuable in many respects, especi-
ally regarding the proper feeding Of the
team. The fact that so many members
Join in these discussions is what is max
ing Milford Grange so popular. The
farmers and fruit growers feel that it
is the place to exchange their thoughts.
and consequently it is getting to be re-
garded as place of valuable instruction.
Tomorrow the subject "Should the
Whipping Post Be AbOlished?" is to be
by j. j. Rosa. Because of Mr..
Rosa's ability as a speaker it is believed
that the standing room will be at a
premium. The discussion Name Some
Of The Laws of The State the People
Would Be Better Of Without" will be
lead by Mr.. Cook, who also is one of
the orators of the Grange. 1t is hoped
that all members will be in their seats
early because of the extended and i'm
DOrtant program.

ALDERMAN RAMSEY IS
Furnishing OFFENDERS

Alderman William Ramsey is proving
a hornets nest for those who are inclin-
ed to be disorderly and run against the
ordinances of the town. His work is
netting the town good proceeds, and
at the same time keeping the disorderly
element we'll under control. On Satur
day four offenders were brought before
him, each of whom paid heavily for his
violation of the laws.
Marshall Smith, colored, for whom
the officers have had a writ since Oc-
tOber last, came to Milford on Saturday
and was arrested. He was charged
with being drunk and disorderly on
Walnut Street Bridge at that time.
When brought before Alderman Ramsey
he was fined SO and costs, amounting
in all to Sll.
Saturday evening Green Macklin and
Frank Purnell were arrested in Jim
Town" by Officer Charles ShOckley
charged with being drunk and disorderly.
1t seems that Macklin had been to Will
mington where he gotta supplyo liquor.
Arriving home he invited Purnen 10
help him dispose of it. This they did,
the result being a good drunk. Then
they painted one section of South Mill
ford red. and started for Jim Town to
finish the business. Officer ShOckley.
colored had other ideas. however, and
placed them under arrest Brought be-
fore the Alderman, they were fined Sll
each and given three days in the city
jail.
The same evening Charles Scott,
colored, of Williamsville, came to Mil
ford to witness the Guy Broteers MIN
strels. He imbibed freely of liquor be-
fore going to the hall, and when ne got
there took reserved seat in the
gallery. When requested to move, he
became boisterous. Manager Cannon
had him removed and refunded his
money. Shortly afterwards he again
came back. threatening to get even.
He was arrested, fined Sl1.50 and given
two days in the city Jail. BY that time
he had learned something.

SILVER LAKE BRIDGE IS
OPEN To Light TRAVEL

Silver Lake at Milford is again doing
duty as a water power. Tatnall- Brown
Co. of Wilmington completed the con-
tract for constructing a dam with flood
gates and a new bridge on January 2lst
This bridge is the most modern and
up-to-date structure in Kent and Sussex
counties. The entire work is built of con-
crete and steel, all steel being substan-
TALLY imbedded in concrete and thus pro-
tected from the action of the atmosphere.
The bridge leaf is also of concrete Of such
thickness that it will carry. when it has
properly hardened, a l5-ton road roller
with perfect salty.
Bridges of this nature require no up
keeper maintenance. No flood timbers
to rot, no wood work or steel to paint As
time passes they get stronger instead Of
weaker. Such bridges cost little more
to build, but when completed they are
not constant drain upon the resources of
the county for maintenance.
This bridge and dam control the run-oH
for several square miles west of Milford.
The water is mostly spring water, except
during times of storms.
The Equitable Guarantee and Trust
Co. of Wilmington trustee for the Jen-
ME ID. Causey estate, contracted and
paid for the bridge and dam, with the
exception of the bridge leaf, which was to
be paid for by Kent and Sussex counties.
Herbert w. Hatton, consulting. engi-
neer. with Offices in the Equitable, pre-
pared the plans and had charge of the
work for the Equitable Guarantee and
Trust Co. The bridge is now open to
light travel. Master Armel Nutter hav-
ing the honor of being the first to drive

STUDYING DELAWARE SOIL.

The Department of Soil Bacterioogy
of the Delaware College Experiment
Station is making a study of the three
counties of the State for the purpose of
determining the relation between the
lime requirement and the bacterial flora.
IL has been found that the heavier soils
of New Castle have a lime requirement
nearly double that of the lighter soils
of Kent and Sussex. In the heavier
soils of the upper part of the State.
where lining has not been generally
practicised, the surface soil to the depth
of 8 inches requires nearly double the
quantity of lime required by the sub
soil extending from eight to sixteen
inches. In spite of the greater lime
requirement of the surface inches of
these heavier solid, this surface contains
practically all the beneficial organisms.
This condition is caused by a rapid
decrease in the amount of humus Tor
ganic matterl in the soil, the surface
soil containing from three to four times
as much as the subsoil. Lack of aera-
tion and proper drainage. together with
the failure to use deep-rooting legumes
such as alfalfa, tends to make the sub
soils of our heavier lands low in bene-
fetal organisms. The lighter soils of
Kent and Sussex occasionally have as
good a bacterical flora in the subsoil
Is inches % l6 inches) as they have in
the surface soil cup to a depth of
inches), moreover the amount of humus
in these subsoils more nearly approaches
that in the surface soil This closer re- /
lationship of lumus in the surface and
5ubsoil is caused by the better aeration
and more open texture of these soils, /
together with the deeper roofing sys-
TENS of the crops grown thereon.
