for the Republican nomination for sheriff, is
a resident of Wilmington, where he is well
known. For number of years he has
been an aspirant for the office for which he
has just been nominated, the sheriffalty bee
buzzing loudly in his head. In 1874 he
received the nomination for sheriff, but was

position, but the nomination was obtained
by Philip II. Clark, the present incumbent.
Mr.. Martin is about 65 years of age and
was born in Christiana hundred, at Mount
Cuba where he followed the occupation of
farmer until about l6 years ago, when he
moved to Wilmington. For 10 years he was
engaged in the butcher business, but for the
last six years has been living a life of leisure.
He never held any public Office excepting
that of collector of county taxes of Chris
tiana hundred, and has always been an
active Republican, even in the years before
the Republican party assumed positive
position in politics.

completely abolished. The government
could not grapple efiectually with a secret
movement when IL was made to appear that
such movement was only for the protection
of wronged people. He declared that il

MIR. 'Talnagc or Prohibition

The New York World gives tho follow
lug condensed account of recent sermon
on prohibition by Mr.. Talmage:
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Tai
mage said he could see no necessity for the
existence Of either the Republican or the
Democratic party, and that new party
should arise willing to recognize God in its
platforms and ready to thunder against in-
temperance, and with national prohibition
destroy the monster of alcoholism. In o
few years, he said, the prohibitionists would
hold the balance Of power in every State
so that no one could be elected Governor
unless he was straightout prohibitionis';
and ia twelve years they would place a
President of their choice 10 the White
House. American slavery, he declared,
was pet lamb beside iItemperanoe. II
nominate for President and Woo President
in 1881 he said. "two men-and I care
not which heads the ticket-Govcrno
St. John, of Kansas, aud Governor COL
quit, of Georgia" (Applausc and cries
of "Good'') ooh, my Lord and my God,"
he exclaimed, "what country this would
be without dram shop!" (Applause) Mr..
Talmage said he would have an amendment
10 the national Constitution passed prohi
biting The manufacture, sale and importa-
ton Of all alcoholic liquors except for
medicinal, scientific and artistic purposes,
and he would have grand National Prohi-
billion Convention called 10 meet next year
or the year after. He asked the convcn.
ton to meet in Brooklyn, and "as on this
platform Governor St John and Governor
Colquitt had sat side Ly side liza temper.
ance meeting, invite tho convention to
assemble in this house Of God
Mr.. Talmage then said thero had never
been so much drunkenness 10 New York
and Brooklyn as now, and that he believed
that national prohibition law could be en-
forced. If the officers did not cuforce it
the people, like the forty miners in San
francisco, would fol N vigilance committees
aud enforce it themselves. "lf it was not
enforced iu Brooklyn" said Mr.. Talmagc
in conclusion, "some Sunday would mar.

a ROMANTIC EPISODE.

The gung became more bold after this
snd robberics became more frequent. At
this time an event happened which was
destined to cause the entire destruction Of
the band Mary Sullivan met Crockett
Jenkins. The meeting itself was romantic
enough to merit its being told. Mary was
riding along the Tradcwater one spring day
two years ago when she saw man prcpar.
ing to come over. The water was deep, the
little river having been raised by frequent
rains, and she yelled over 10 him not to at
tempt to cross there. Ilo either did not
hear her or paid no attention, for he
plunged bis horse in. The current was too
strong for tho horse, and he soon threw his
rider oil and tried 10 save himself. Then,
with his heavy winter clothes on jenkins
would most certainly have been drowned
but for Mary's dashing out into tho stream
with her horse and rcscuing him at the
peril of her life. She brought tho man up
to her brother Toms to let him dry his
clothes. A mutual admiration SION sprung
up which quickly warmed into love. From
that time on Mary Sullivan and Crockett
Jenkins were warm lovers. Jenkins, who
lived somo miles away, moved to Sul;vans'
and The Illicit love Of the two was tho talk
Of the country. Frou that time on the
gang had no moro faithful follower than
Crocket Jenkins. About month ago,
however, jenkins, tired Of Mary, and be-
gan paying his attentions to another woman.
For some time Mary was ignorant of what
wns going on, but wien size hoard it her
jealous hate was terrible.
"l will kill Crockett jenkins if he dares
to bctray me-" she had said to more than
one. At length tho storm burst One
night about month ago Mary accused
Ciooket of his infidclty. He laughed at

standing within few feet of her. She
opened the door aud stepped out. Throe
s,roog pair of arms rcsohed out from the
darkness, and in an instant she was whirled
away out to the public road. She knew
what fate lay 10 store for her, but uttered
neither threats nor entreaty. She said
never word, but walked along quietly
with her capiors. They bound her arms
aud feet, ard, tossing her over a horse as
though she were moa-sack. they joined

road. They rode on till Mary recognized

never had quarrel yet and he has
frequently boastcd lhst it is utterly impos-
sible 10 make her angry. Ferguson made
several desperate attempts to see if he could
not exasperate her to look Cross or acowl at
him, merely to crafty his curiosity, but the
more outrageous'y he acted the more affabe
and loving she appeared.
Last week he was talking to friend
about what hard time he had trying to
find out if his wife had temper Tho
friend offered to bet $50 that if Ferguson
were TO 60 home drunk, raise row and
pull the table cloth full of dishes of tho
table she would show some signs of annoy
auce. Ferguson said he didn't want to rob
friend Of his money, for ho knew he
would win; but they at last made tho bet
of $50, the friend to hide 10 the front yard
and watch the proceedings Of the conven-
tioo through tho window.
Ferguson come home late and apparently
fighting drunk. She met him at the gate,
bissed.him and assisted his tottering steps to
the house. Fl sat down hard in the mid
die Of the floor and howlcd out:
"Confound your ugly picture, what did
you mean by pulling that chair FROM under

He threw plate at her, but she acted as
if she had not noticed it, and asked
him if he would take tea or coffee. Then
the bruto seized the table cloth and sat
down on the floor, pulling the dishes aud
everything else over with him in ono
grand crash.
What did this noble woman do2 Do
you suppose she grumbled and talked about
