Cracking Glass Balls.

Yesterday number of the friends OF
George Stab called upon him at his farm,
near Riyerview cemetery and spent the day
very pleasantly. During the afternoon
there was contest at shooting glass balls.
The shooting afforded considerable amuse
ment tL the spectators. Most OF the con-
testants had never shot at balls before and 1t
was amusing to see how they missed them.
The score was as as follows u; Freye,

DICK HARKINeToN's HAND.
Another Post once ChRnge-A Stalwar
Gets u Half Breeds Place at BHiIIsbOrO.

Gets u Half Breeds Place at MillsbOrO.
A Washington dispatch states that Acting
Postmaster General Hatton yesterday ap-
pointed Asher 8. Burton to be postmaster
at MillsborO, in place of William II. Belts,
who has been removed.
This result will not be a matter of sur
prise to people who have understood for
some time how Republican politics in this
State has been going. 1t has been expected
for long time and was regarded by the
friends Of Mr.. Belts, who have been making
an effort to prevent his removal, as a fore
gone conclusion, at the time of the election
Of delegates to the Republican State Con-
vention when james ii. Maull, the stalwart
postmaster at Georgetown, was removed
without cause and without warning and L.
A. Pepper, installed.
The change at Millsboro about completes
the list of changes made up by Harrington,
Fisher q Company some time ago with a
view to effecting the influence of the State
Central Committee. The first was at Lewes,
where Postmaster Brereton was bounced to
make room for Charles f. Maull. Brereton
was Half Breed, Mahll a Stalwart. Then
came the appointment in Wilmington, and
quickly following 1t were announced those
at Laurel and Concord, where Stalwarts got
places held before by Half Breeds. In
every instance no complaint had been made
against the deposed officials, the only con-
sideration being the strength which the
Stalwart faction would receive from Its
henchmen getting the offices.
With reference to the Millsboro case 1t Is
stated that Mr.. Belts has made satisfactory
official, and the only grounds for removal
was desire to reward a State Central Com
mittee man. Mr.. Burton is a nephew o.
Benjamin s. Burton of Georgetown, and {
relative of Daniel Burton of Millsboro. Th'
effect of the change will have anything bu
harmonious effect upon Sussex Repub
licans.
