INDIAN GRAVE AT LEWES
Bones and Relics Taken by School
Authorities for Exhibition

A pile of human bones were un-
earthed in the rear of the Lewes
Public School on Wednesday by
workmen levelling off the grounds.
The discovery is believed to be an
ancient Indian mound or graveyard
of the early Nanticoke Indians, be-
cause of the presence of oyster
shells and pieces of pottery. The
bones and relics were brought in
to the school and taken in charge
by school authorities for exhibition.
The oyster shells were scattered
among the bones, and for this rea-
son the mound is thought to be of
Indian origin as it was the custom
of the tribes to bury shells among
their dead, along with personal be
longings in the nature of pottery
and weapons. Records show that
many Indian graveyards were once
scattered about this section, but
all traces of them have long since
vanished. The workmen were pre-
pairing the ground for four new
tennis courts behind the school.

WILMINGTON
TO GET. SCHOOL
Governor Buck Decides Not to
Veto Bill and Deprive City
of Great Need
DUPONT ROAD SITE SEEN

School officials and Board of Ed
ucation members in the city of
Wilmington, it is understood, ex-
pect construction of the new ST.
100000 Wilmington High School to
start in a couple of months. The
building is provided for in bill
which Governor Buck will permit
to become a law, without his sigma
ture. There is said to be strong
possibility the new school will be
ready by September, 1884. The
Board has several sites in mind. It
is reported the one most likely to
be chosen is the 2O-acre tract own
ed by H. Belin DUPONT just inside
the city limits at the Western
boundary, DUPONT road and about
Eighth street extended. This is
south of the Wilmington Country
Club. 1t would provide an ample
campus, and room for athletic
chance for expansion. 1t is said
drawing plans will require at least
two months. This phase will be
under the Delaware School Found
alton, of which Alexander j. Tay-
lor is president. Plans will be
drawn by Guilbet and Betelle, of
Newark, N. J., architects for the
foundation. Having campaigned
for it because of crowded condition
at the building on Delaware avenue
at Monroe street, it is expected
that the Wilmington Board of Ed
ucation and a dozen civic and SER
vice organizations will press for
immediate construction of the new
building. Governor Buck announc-
ed Saturday he would not veto the
bill, which provides for a total
school construction appropriation
of So, 500, 900, of which 81 100000 is
for new buildings in lower Della
ware. The Governor said he does
not wish to endanger Wilmington
chance of getting new high
school. However, in a reply to a
recent letter from Harry B. Eaton

STATE TOPAY
COUNTY BONDS
Senate Approves Transfer of
Prisoners to Kent, Sus-
sex JailS
SOME TO WORKHOUSE

The State Senate, under suspen-
sion of rules Friday afternoon,
passed the House substitute for
Senator Griffenberg's bill to pro-
vide for the appropriating of mon
ey to pay maturities on certain
highway improvement and State
aid road bonds, issued by the Levy
Courts of the three counties and
maturing during the fiscal bien-
MUM ending June 80, 1885 The
House substitute was necessary
when it was found that several
Kent and Sussex bonds had been
omitted from the original bill. The
Senate also passed two House sub
stitutes for bills offered by Sena-
tor Latchum One would require
the Board of Trustees of the New
Castle County Workhouse to de-
liver all prisoners committed from
Kent and Sussex counties for terms
of ten years or less, to the sheriffs
of the two respective counties.
They, then, would De recommltted
to the jails of the respective coun-
ties. The original bill had provid-
ed that all Kent and Sussex prison
ers be sent to the respective county
1 iails. The other substitute for Sen
ator Latchum's bill provides that
all persons sentenced to imprison-
ment for ten years or less in Kent
and Sussex counties shall be com
mitted to the jails of the respective
/ counties. Prisoners for longer
terms than ten years would be sent
to the New Castle County Work
house. The original bill had pro
vided that all prisoners of the two
lower counties shall be committed
to the respective jail of Kent and
Sussex

president of the Wilmington Board
of Education, the Governor reiter-
ated his previously expressed opin-
ion that such a large appropriation
is ''unwise, if not unjustified." He
explained he believes the act would
not become a law if he vetoed it.
The Governor declared, My in
vestigation convinces me that no
new school construction, or at least
very little, is needed elsewhere in
the State during the said period

From Dog Pound
to Canine Throne

Omaha, Neb.-Meet Tony, the
dog, whose story is a true Amer
lean epic.
From the humblest of begin
nings to a kingship - that's
Tony's history. Less than year
ago Tony was an unwilling occu-
pant of the dog pound at Au-
burn, Neb.
There Charles Machon, of Au-
burn, saw him. Tony had no IL
cense and was almost certain to
be condemned to pay the su-
preme penalty. But Machon
bought his liberty.
Today Tony is a king-king of
the coon hunting dogs Of Nebras-
ka. He won the title at the an
nual coon hunt in Talmage,
Neb., where he defeated two
blood hounds.
Tony has no royal ancestors
he's just dog.

PEACH : APPLE
ORCHARDS SPRAY
Growers Busy Getting Their
Orchards Treated For Bet
ter Crop Yields
r. E. WILSON ASSISTS

Within the past few days fruit
growers in Kent county have re-
ceived from the Office of County
Agent Russell E. Wilson copies of
the sixth edition Of orchard spray
notes prepared by DR.. ]. F. Adams,
plant pathologist Of the University
of Delaware and the State Board
Of Agriculture, in regard to the
spraying Of apple and peach trees
at this period of the season. With
reference to the aple situation,
weather conditions have been ex-
ceptionally favorable for pollina
tion, and fortunately to date the
frosts which have occurred during
the past three weeks have not
caused any disturbing injury to the
blossoms, with the result that the
blooms generally have been heavy
for all varieties. The recent rains
have favored a heavy discharge of
scab spores, which necessitates a
thorough covering of the new fol
iage in order to hold down the pos
sibilities of further infection. Ac-
cording to DR.. Il. "A. Stearns, ento-
mologist Of the Delaware expert
ment station, codling moth is
showing a 20 per cent pupation
with only scattering emergence,
which is a warning for growers to
place all infested picking baskets
and other fruit containers in tight
storage, and to also close all pack
ing houses to prevent the adult
moths from escaping to the orch
ards. Where rosy aphis are trouble
some it is advised that nicotine
sulphate at the rate of l pint to
100 gallons Of spray be used. At
this time the petal-fall spray
should be applied to all varieties of
apples, and for this application
the growers are advised to use the
lime sulphur spray at the i to so
strength. Where Bordeaux is sub
stituted for lime sulphur, the 2-4-50
formula e pounds bluestone and 4
pounds hydrated lime to so gallons
water) is recommended, and to
each 100 gallons of spray mixture
8 pounds of arsenate of lead and 6
pounds of hydrated lime should be
added. In discussing the fruit sit
uation with regard to peaches, DR..
Adams stated that the series of
frosts during the last two weeks in
April caused extensive losses to
peach buds varying from 25 to 100
percent in many paintings through
out this area. The extent of a
freeze injury is soon determined,
but the extent of frost damage
may not be evident for many
weeks. The possible set at this
time however, is favorable for a
fair crop this year. Leaf curl is
more general this spring than has
occurred for over decade, and
, where heavy infection is found ii
would be advisable to feed the trees
to offset the loss caused by the dis
: eased foliage which will eventually
| mature early and drop. Brown rot
) twig blight which came in with
f late pre-blossom infection is now
: mature, and the maximum injury
5 is apparent at this time. Peach

e ton, and the heavy period Of
f emergence will occur during the

e ence of the curculio has been re
e ported in the Bridgeville area.
