LAUREL LEAVES.
Politics In the Banner Democratic Hun
dred of the State-LOcaI Happenings.

Especial correspondence of the Gazette.
LAUREL, May 10.-Politically, as you are
aware, this is the banner hundred In the
State, having given the largest Democratic
majority at the last election; hence, it is but
natural that we should have a candidate for
gubernatorial honors, and they do say down
in Sussex that our man, Hon. j. T. Moore,
has the pole in the race for the nomination.
You can assure your readers that he will poll
the full strength of his ticket, if not run
ahead. The alleged disafiection in this and
the adjoining hundred upon actual inquiry
appears to exist more in the wishes of the
factions than in reality. There will be big
effort made by the Republicans in these two
hundreds when the ball fairly opens
Yesterday there was street combat be-
tween two colored women. One of the con-
testants received blow over the head from
an iron pot, containing hot water, resulting
in the breaking of the pot and the scalding
of the unfortunate beligerant. They then
resorted to axes, but an encounter with
these murderous implements was prevented
by the appearance upon the scene of the hus-
band of one of the females, who vigorously
put an end to the fray.
Last night rumor came in from the sub
urbs that man was killing his wife. 1t
turned out to be war of profanity.

GIVEN A HEARING.
The burglars of Tuesday Night Held in
$1,000 to Answer at Court.


$1,000 to Answer at Court.
John Souders and Henry Tomlinson, the
two thieves arrested yesterday for robbing
the house Of William Taylor, on Head
street, Tuesday night, were before the Mayor
last evening aud held in the sum of 81 900
each to answer the charge at court. The
facts adduced from the testimony differed
but slightly from those published in the
GAZETTE yesterday. The value of the silver
watch taken was fixed at Sl5, and that of
the gold watch at S25. A minute descrip-
ton of the condition of the house and the
work of the robbers was given.
Officers Ryan and Hardy gave in detail
the manner of the arrest at the Wilkesbarre
House, and Ray Moore, the proprietrcss OF
that delectable "hotel," testified that the
men came to her place about9 . O'Clock ON
Tuesday evening, and as 1t was raining they
asked for lodging and got it. The chain left
at the house was in the hands of the one
with the mustache (Tomlinson.) Fannie
Burns testified that she lives with Ray Moore,
and corroborated the testimony of the pre-
vious witness. The tall one with the dark
clothes (Souders) had the two watches and
chain, and the other chain.
When the men were searched by the
officers nothing was found on Tominson,
but the watches were taken from Souder's
| pocket. An iron bar was produced at the
hearing and identified by Taylor as one he
had found under hand-car at Third and
Church streets, where Souders had told him
he could find it, and that it was the instru-
ment with which they had pried open the
| door.
1t is said of Tomlinson that in 1876 he set
fire to house in Johnstown, Pa, and while
the citizens were Mt the fire he and com.
panion broke into and robbed u house
They obtained some 5000 or 800, and come
to Wilmington to have good time with it
| They were apprehended and taken to Johns
nown and sentenced to about two years i'm
prisonment.

feebly allayed and there was confusion
which several times broke into enthusiastic
cheers for Marshall throughout the rest of
the call. Before the result of the ballot was
announced Hays withdrew. Butler and Mar
shall's vote was announced at 176. The
convention then got up and cheered for some
time and without any formal motion the
nomination of Marshall was regarded as
unanimous.
This finished the work of the convention
and after a speech by General Beaver it
adjourned.
SOME PRESS OPINIONS.
The Ledger editorially sums up the work
of the convention as follows:
The nominations for Governor, General
Beaver, and Justice of the Supreme Court,
Mr.. Rawle, are worthy of hearty approval.
Those of Senator Davies for Lieutenant
General and Senator Greer for Secretary OF
Internal Affairs are not, but should get a
heavy score of disapprobation. OF the
nomination for Congressman-at-large,
Thomas M. Marshall, nothing more can be
said than that 1t is an average party nomina-
tion-no more, no less.
The Times says 1t is ticket that regu-
lation Democracy cannot defeat but it is a
ticket that an advanced Democracy, with
honest government proclaimed as its car
| dinal article of faith and assured by the
recognized patriotism and integrity Of it,
candidates, can defeat. This is the situation
| In nutshell.
The Press exultingly declares that the con
vention has "met the just demands of Inde
pendent Republicans and leaves no reasona
BILE ground for opposition. 1t only remains
for Republicans TO close up the ranks ant
march forward to the victory which await
u.s."
The Record says: "There was but one
contingency against his [Beaver's nomina
ton, and that was in the fear on the part o
a majority of the convention that it would
meet with the determined resistance of thu
Independents. To avoid this danger it wa
resolved to conciliate the Independents BY
putting Wolfe on the ticket for Lieutenant
Governor. But, in spite of most persisten
efforts by the Regular leaders, this part o
the programme has resulted in disaster
