OLD BRIDEGROOMS.
Cupid Rattling around amongst
gray heads and wrinkled Fac es.

From the PhiladelphiA Record
The community OF aged men, some six
ty odd, inmates of the Old Mems home,
on Powelton avenue, in the West End,
is agog over the approaching nuptials
of the Rev. DR.. Spear, one Of their num-
ber, while his large circle of friends is
likewise much exercised thereat. DR..
Spear is his 10th year, and although
nearly blind from the excessive use of
his eyes through his studious habits, he
is tolerably well preserved physically.
He managed with admirable tact to
keep his courtship secret, and it was
only through the request that he made
of the Rev. Dr. Bolton to perform the
marriage ceremony, and who announced
the fact to the late P. E. Convention,
that the ancient lovers ENHANCEMENT
with c. pid became public property.
The intended bride is = Miss Thomas,
of West Chester, who comes of an ex'
cellent family, and is the possessor of
some wealth. She is on the wintry side
of life, although considerably younger
than the proposed groom, DR.. Spear
was for many years rector of st Luke s
church in this city, and has sustained
an unsullied reputation through life,
He entered the Old Mems Home -four
years ago, where he has since been a
prime tavorite. He has sent N his res
ignatlon, to take fleet on June ], which
has been accepted by the managers
The marriage is expected to take place
| early next month. 1t is said that he
has grown tired of life in public in
stitution, and yearns again for the
quiet domestic firesiGe. He is wild
over.
While the marriage of Rev. DR.
Spear will attract attention on accoun
of his age, that of Rev. DR.. John B
Clemson, Of Claymont, Delawar
ought certainly to attract much more
since the latter is said to be considera
bly, older. DR.. Clemson is Is years O
age, and has already had three wives
His marriage is announced to take plac
at Claymont on June 10, and it will b
celebrated in English style. The il
tended bride is Miss Hannah Gibbons
of West Chester. DR.. Clemson is wei
known in Philadelphia, having tamil
connections in the Twenty sevent
ward.

GUIsEAU PROPERLY CON
VICTED.
Points tf a Unanimeus Decision
w,,tc N IL Expec ed To-day.


WASHINGTON, May 2l,-The unani
NOUS decision of the District Supreme
Court on the questions raised by the de-
fence in the Guiteau case will be an
nouuced morrow. The Post to-day
gives the following as the points OF the
decisions ''The opinion OF the Court
will broadly sustain the position taken
by the District Attorney, that the eJurls
diction is complete where the fatal
blow was struck, without regard TO the
locality OF actual demise
The Court no ds that the bullet fired
at the President by Guiteau on the 2nd
of July, al the railroad station in this
CITY, was TIE cause Cf his death, and
the Trial could only have been held III
WasblnG ton; that the death of the
President in New Jersey, except as
affected by local statute, could not
change the Jurisdiction. The assassin
had not been in New Jersey, had
committed no offence against New Jer-
sew laws, and the mere fact of the VIC
tim being removed to Elberon to pro-
long lie, or save it il possible, coulu
not be made TO affect the character OF
The crime. The court will hold, IN ad'
dition, that there are several GROUNDS
on which the jurisdiction, as exercised,
hight be maintained ii 1t were neces-
sary to decide the case.
First. That this IS a United states
Court, with all the powers OF any Clr-
cult Court of the United States.
Second That this is a judicial dis
trict, and that under the provisions OF
the law when crime is begun in one
and completed in another district the
offence is complete in either.
Third. That the murder was an Of
fence in this district against the United
States, and the removal Of the Presi-
dent to New Jersey did not take him
beyond the jurisdiction of the Govern
ment against which the offence was
committed.
Much anxiety has been expressed as
to the action Of the Supreme Court OF
Unitrd States, it being announced that
an application would be made to that
body BY defendants counsel tor writ
of habeas corpus. There are now
only two Justices of that court in the
city-the Court having adjourned for
the ternl-Chief Justice Waite and JUS
tice Miller. The best legal authorities
express doubts whether such a writ
could BE- granted by the full Court
in session and it is believed
that any single Judge will not
take the responsibility of passing
upon so important question when it is
recalled that the court was 10 session
for three months after the sentence OF
death was passed. 1t may therefore
reasonably be concluded that Guiteau
will hang as sentenced, and that there
is no earthly hope for him.

turn you my hearty and sincere thanks
for your support last Saturday which
has made me the candidate of the Re
pubcan party for Sheriff of New Castle
County. I am deeply sensible that the
choice has not fallen upon me through
any superior qualifications that l pos
sess over such gentlemen as were my
contestants and therefore | feel under
the greater obligation for the honor
conferred. Now then Republicans OF
Wilmington for grand rally to the
polls ON the 3rd day of June to elect DIR
Wales and the whole Republican tick
ct and then for another rally on the
first Tuesday of October and grand
sweepstake victory on the first Tuesday
of Noyem ber. JAMES MARTIN.

To the Republican voters of New
Castle county, Gentlemen: Through the
partiality of the Republicans of New
Castle county, and from amongst a
number of Republican candidates fully
as deserving of the office as myself, l
have been selected as the Republican
nominee for the office of coroner, for
which be pleased to accept my thanks.
1t shall be my endeavor to labor not
alone for my own election to the office
to which have been nominated, but
to labor for the success of the who. e
Republican ticket. With sentiments
of gratitude, gentlemen, remain yours,

STIDHAM TO THE SCRATCH.
To the Republican voters of New
Castle county:
Feeling highly honored by the fat
tering vote you gave me last Saturday
on my first effort, allow me this, the
first opportunity that occurred, to re-
turn to you my hearty and siucere
thanks for the same. l want 1t to be
clearly and distinctly understood that
| am a Republican, ana no defeat, no
number Of defeats can change my sem
timents, nor cause any abatement in my
efforts to elect the candidate who was
more successful than myself.
therefore call upon all my Repub-
lican friends who so nobly stood by me
last Saturday to join me in an active
effort to elect James Martin, the present
choice of the party, and the whole
Republican ticket, including Mayor
and other city officers, indulging in the
hope that my candidacy will be more
successful in 1884. +. G. STIDHAM.
THOMAS BRACKIN, A MAN.
To the Republicans of New CASTLE
County: If anybody supposes for an in
stant that am dissatisfied with the re-
suit of last Saturdays nomination for
Sheriff of New Castle County, such
person is mistaken. 1t would have
suited me better if l had been the
nominee, but my Republican fellow
citizens have said by their votes that
they prefer James Martin, and / as a
loyal life long Republican acquiesce in
the result and am prepared to give the
successful nominee all the support to
secure his election that lies in my
power. The many friends who honor
cd me with their votes have my hearty
thanks and hope they will all join me
in electing James Martin, Sheriff, and
the whole Republican ticket, that

bon rule. THOMAS BRACKL1N.
