NOTES FROM DELAWARE AND

THE GovERNoRsHIP IN SUSSEX.
Some Interesting Points About the Political
Field Down the MISREPRESENTATION
as to the Standing of Candidates and
Their Feelings Toward Each Other.
[speeIal Correspondence OF the Gazette. J

GEoRGETowN, May 2.-Early political
letter-writers, like premature peach scare
makers, have been busily engaged even this
early in the State campaign working up
gossip about the possible Democratic candi-
date for Governor. 1t has all been very
foolish, and the statements of many of these
fellows have been extremely absurd. They
have represented Sussex county as being all
worked up" over the canvass, and the
friends of j. Turpin Moore and Charles c.
Stockley as being ready to cut each Others
throats. Drawing his impressions from the
talk sent abroad by these Republicans and
semi Republicans, one might suppose the
whole county was greatly excited over the
canvass for delegates, and that the heated
and exciting fight between Mr.. Moore and
Mr.. Stockley was occupying the attention of
everybody day and night and was already
an issue Of deep interest in that section.
But 1t isn't true. All this stuff is as wide
of the mark as Republican estimate of a
Sussex majority. The fact of the matter is
that there has been no political excitement
in Sussex except some little wild and un-
truthful statements published about the
alleged Democratic conflict here. There is
no contest among the candidates, there is no
hard-feeling and there is no Gubernatorial
canvass as yet.
why" said well-known Democra. to
your correspondent only yesterday, ''the
political situation in Sussex is not much
talked about. We had court here n few
days ago and you would be surprised to
know how seldom the present status of
affairs was talked over. If there was a fight
there would be lots of talk, you see but
there isn't even TALK
venture to say that the contest--if there
is much of a contest when the time comes
for Gubernatorial delegates will be very
friendly one. There is no hard-feeling
between Messrs. Moore and Stockley. Both
are attending to their own affairs, one at
Georgetown and the other at Laurel, and
neither will make much of an effort, if any,
to influence sentiment. Paynter Fraim who
is not a candidate, but who may be brought
forward by his friends as a dark horse, occu-
pies position even more retired, and will
make not the slightest move to get the
nomination.
This is the situation here, briefly stated.
When the next letter writer elaborates about
the "Gubernatorial fight" you may set it
down that he is lying with more eagerness
than caution.

CONGRESS YESTERDAY.
Summary of Yesterdays Proceedings in
Both Houses.

In the U. s. Senate yesterday the Military
Committee was given leave to sit during the
sessions of the Senate. The Senate bill to
adjust the accounts of Collector Pollock of
Philadelphia, WAS called up by Mr.. Bayard
and passed. The bill removing the disquali-
lication of ex-Confederates for any appoint
ments was taken up, and the pending mo-
tion to refer it to the Judiciary Committee
was lost-yeas %, nays 24. The bill then
went over. Mr.. Lapham introduced a
woman suffrage amendment to the Consti-
tuition, which was referred to the Commit
tee on Rights of Women. The Court of APP
peals bill was discussed, and Mr.. Morgan
had read a substitute establishing Court
of Federal Appeals, and spoke in support
thereof Various amendments were sub
mitted and some were adopted, and the bill
then went over as unfinished business until
to-day. Adjourned.
In the House, Mr.. Kasson moved to go
into Committee of the Whole on the Tariff
Commission bill, and Mr. Randall moved to
amend so as to provide that the debate
should close on Saturday. The amendment
was lost-yeas 80, nays 81. On motion of
Mr.. Kasson to close debate on Thursday,
the Democrats refrained from voting leaving
the House without quorum. Mr.. Kasson
thereupon withdrew his motion to limit
debate, and the House went into Committee
of the Whole ON the Tariff Commission bill.
After speeches by Messrs. Chase of Rhode
Island, and Herbert and Hewitt of Alabama,
Mr.. Springer of Illinois, took the floor, but
the committee rose. Mr. Page of California,
moved to take from the Speakers table the
Chinese bill and concur in the Senate
amendments. There being no objection the
motion was carried, the amendments were
agreed to and the bill goes to the President.
The Speaker presented message from the
President transmitting diplomatic cores
pondence relating to the condition of the
Jews in Russia. 1t was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, and the House
adjourned.
The House Judiciary Committee, having
under consideration the bill for the for
feiture of lapsed railroad grants, has re-
ferred to subcommittee the cases of the
Northern Pacific and Atlantic u Pacific
railroads. 1t is understood that the Com
mittee will declare the grants to these roads
to be non-forfeitable.

A DUEL ON SHIP DECK.
How Two Sailors Iiercely Fought to the
Death with Knives.

The bloody and fatal duel with knives be-
tween two sailors, Michael Murphy and
James Keogh, on the ship Orealla, in New
York harbOr, yesterday, was announced in a
telegraphic dispatch TO the GAZETTE.
Further particulars of this startling affray
are as follows:
After the preliminary quarrel which en-
gendered the deadly hatred between the
men, they returned to the deck, when Keogh
took off his shoe and slapped Murphy in the
iace with the sole, at the same time saying:
"You've been wanting to pick a quarrel
with me for some time; If you want salts
faction, now is the time"
"All right, replied Murphy "I'm ready
for you at any time"
Kehoe and Murphy each drew knife and
the two men flew at each other like wild
beasts, and in a moment were locked In a
fierce encounter. Each man parried the
others blows for awhile but all attempts by
the crew, who were witnesses of the affray,
to separate the men were futile, and the men
rolled over aud over on the deck in an i'm
promptu duel with knives. Finally, Kehoe
obtained brief advantage and his knife was
buried to the hilt in the thigh of his
antagonist, who, with a cry of pain,
managed to free himself. At this juncture,
John Pierce, the second mate, interfered and
the two cOmbatants were separated
Five minutes later the two men met again
in the forward part of the vessel.
Have you had enough 2" sneeringly
asked Kehoe.
"!ll get square with you yet" was Muir
phys reply, as he strove TO staunch the
blood which was flowing from his wound.
"Then Wen have it out now," yelled
kehoe, as he rushed toward the boatswain.
Again the men were locked in a deadly en-
counter. Over and over rolled the two
men, who seemed to have been suddenly
transformed into demons, but for awhile
neither obtained the advantage.
At last Murphy locked his antagonists
arms by means of his own left arm, and
swinging his right hand around he sent his
sheathknife to the very hilt into Kehoe's
breast by a powerful backhanded blow.
The wounded man released his hold and
staggered to his feet only to fall exhausted
TO the deck, while Murphy, faint from the
loss Of blood, reeled TO the side of the yes
sci and sat down. Captain Holmes was by
this time on deck and, going over to Kehoe,
he raised his head, but saw at glance that
he was beyond earthly hope, the film of
death having already glazed Kehoe's eyes,
and in five minutes he was dead. Murphy's
keen blade had penetrated the sailors left
lung.

OF all the many elaborate and exquisite

of the route of the Baltimore a. Ohio rail

eminently the finest. 1t is work of over
$50 pages, larger than Hdrper's Magazine,

drawn by the first artists expressly for the

FRESH FRUIT.
Testing an Improved Refrigerator Car OF
the Delaware Railroad.

IHe UeINWHFe NAIITOHHs
For the past two days an improved re-
frigerator car, built by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, has been run up and
down the Delaware railroad, the idea being
to test the equality of the temperature
obtained. The car is larger than an ordi-
nary car, is similar TO the refrigeratOrs now
in use, but has several important additions
not heretofore employed 1t has capacity
of from 10000 to IL, 900 tons and is intended
for the rapid transportation of Strawberries
and other perishable fruit to such distant
points as Buffalo, N. Y. Thus far the results
obtained have been highly satisfactory, and
all that is needed now TO definitely prove
the success of the plans is the ripening of
the fruit itself.
The ear yesterday left for the lower end
of the Peninsula and will return to this city
again In its travels.
