is making good his promise to give Brother
Window hard chase for the Senate Win
dom's big house in Washington and exten-
sive coal fields in West Virginia have been
photographed to parade as arguments to
show how man coming to Washington

tunate sti lkes in railroads in the Northwest.
The visit by Senator Beck in the interest of
the Whisky Ring to the eminent Minnesota
temperance Senator will, 1t is said, have to

him to the Senate. It was proposed that
Blaine should go to his rescue but Dunnell
sent some word that caused Blaine to aban-
don the enterprise.

The Descendants Of sir charles Hedges
Claim a vast Estate.

Claim Vast Estate.
NEW CoNo0RD, Quo, Sept. 35.--Jester
Hedges Of this place has Just returned from
Montezuna, Iowa, where he has been at
tending meeting OF the Hedges heirs, who
are now about to take steps to secure an
immense fortune left them In England by
Sir Charles Hedges, who died in 1714. Sir
Charles was celebrated English politician,
who was born about the year 1850, and
graduated at Oxford in 1876. He became
Judge of Admiralty in 1893, was elected TO
Parliament during King William ILL.,, and
was appointed Secretary of State by that
monarch in 100. While holding this Office
he drew up and presented to Parliament the
celebrated Adiuration bill, which forever
precluded the claims of the Pretender TO the
Crown of England. He was appointed in
17O6 by the Crown as one OF the English
Commissioners to settle the union of
the Scottish and English Kingdoms.
In 1907 he was removed from the
office of Secretary of State to make room
for the Duke of Sunderland, and eight years
thereafter he died leaving one son named
Charles, who, in 1880, died leaving son
Joseph Hedges, who came to this country
in 1881, and settled In Maryland. He died
In l732, and hfs descendants now live in
Iowa, Ohio, Missouri, Louisiana, and Ken
lucky. The amount of the estate left Sir
Charles Hedges is $3.50, ,000, 600 and the i'm
mediate heirs number thirty three, two of
whom, viz. MFR. Jester Hedges and Mrs.
Bennington Logan, reside here, and they
Will therefore together receive over Sl5, ,0O0,-
600 of the estate. Jester Hedges is son of
Jacob Hedges, a great-great-grandsou of Sir
Charles, the celebrated English Secretary OF
State
The Hedges heirs are all residing in the
United States, and have now organized a
regular association, of which the celebrated
DIR. 7. w. Hedges of Cynthiana, KY, is
president. They will, no doubt, all soon
receive their share of this immense fortune
and become millionaires.

meeting, which will be held In the Opera

NJ. q. Hensel, chairman of the Democratic
state State Central Committee of Pennssyl-
vania. will make speech. The mere fact

walking up to that lady, in a pompous
manner, remarked !; "Well here am. |

the youngsters in the neigborhood floeked

KINGSTON, Sept. 26-There is great ex-
citement at Modeana, in this county, over
the poisoning of an entire family by the eat

gather mushrooms, and returned to the
house with an armful Of toadstools. His
grandmother said she knew the difference
between toadstools and mushrooms,
and pronounced what he had gathered
to he mushrooms. They were cooked for
dinner, and all the family partook of them,
and Mt once every person became violently
ill., None Of them were able to go for
assistance. About s O'Clock Sunday morn

mother died, and Everett, HIS wife and
grown up daughter are lying at the point of

Arthur's Up-I4ill Task.


The Journal has been spoken of as lead
ing revolt against the ticket. That is a
grave mistake. The Journal, SO far from
leading, only reflects family and dimly the
outspoken wrath of its friends and patrons.
We eannot doubt that they are right, and
we know that they are deeply in earnest. If
we were to put in our columns what these
thousands of lifelong Republicans say to
one another, and to us, then indeed our
Stalwart contemporaries would have some
thing to justify their talk about treason.

The Program TOT q NOW AkItAtIOH MOI Up
posed by Htm-His New stand.
DUBLIN, Sept. S6.-It is reasonable to
surmise that the program for a new agita-
tion is not approved by Mr., Dillon and
that although he has hitherto given way he
is indisposed to do so now, feeling that the
limit of compromise is past and that the
that of his colleagues is now SO strongly
marked that he cannot consistently, with
his sense of honor, pursue course which
his Judgment does not approve. This sur
mise is the more probable because Mr..
Dillon has publicly declared his dissatistac-
ton at what he calls the "milk-and-water"
policy, which ii is understood majority OF
the leaders are inclined to recommend at
the approaching conference.

The State Fair in the Rain-How the

Especial correspondence Of the Gazette,


Especial correspondence of the Gazette
DOVER, Sept. 2G.-To-day was the open
ing day of the Delaware State Fair, and
accordingly the gates were IT, rown wide,
bat that was about all. Around the grounds
were to be seen few dropping exhibitors
aud a number of limp looking attendants,
while through the great buildings wandered
a few miserable looking excursionists, who
had been unfortunate enough to come to
day. Rain, rain, rain, and stiff north
easter blowing with little prospect of let
up. The grounds were simply flooded, and
although there was but little mud, the
water stood an inch or two deep all through
the grass. The exhibits are in no condition
to be seen, with the exception of few in
the ladies' building, and the carriage
building, the persistent rain of Monday and
to-day having prevented many from being
brought in and nearly all from being
fixed up.
The races, of course, it was useless to
think about starting. Altogether Fairview
Park belied its name and was most dis
agreeable and uninvlting place, but let the
sun shine tomorrow and what a change.
The track which now looks like a river of
mud will be as hard and shining as a turn
pike, the grounds now like a lake will be
dry and hard as a floor, and the low piled
up and apparently useless machinery, which
looks like the wreck of railroad train,
will resolve itself into busy engines, swift
running threshers and binders, and an
orderly array of drills, plows, etc.
The entries for the fair are numerous, and
If the sun will once shine, will well repay
the visitor, but to-day the state of affairs is
simply terrible. If it clears off tomorrow
the track on account of its excellent drain
age will be in good condition by the after
noon and the races will be started promptly.
1t is probable that the races which were to
have been started to-day will be started on
Saturday, thus making an extra day of the
fair, which will probably help the associa-
tion out of its scraDe to some extent
