DELAWARE SENATORSHIP.
A Plan to Prevent the Election Of Re.
publican.

WILMINGTON, DEL, Nov. 10.-An Eueyy Ecen-
ing special from Dover to-day reports demo-
cratic movement to contest the election OF A.
b. Richardson, the Kent County republican
state senator-elect.
On the face of the returns Mr.. Richardson
has plurality of 1873 over his democratic COM
petitor, Daniel N. Ridgely. Such contest
would be passed on by the democratic state
senator.
The grounds laid are three-the holding Of
election in districts where there were no demo-
cratic judges at the polls, fraudulent votes and
alleged illegality of the Salisbury republican
combination ballots.
Stress is laid on the latter ground. The
uniform ballot law requires the heading to
harmonize with the body Of the tickets. The
combination tickets were headed democratic,
but a majority Of the candidates thereon were
republicans.
Protest was entered against them and against
the ostracism of democratic election officers
before and while the voting was in progress.
The effect of the unseating of Richardson
and the seating of Ridgely would be to make
the legislature q tie on Joint ballot,
and prevent the election by it of a
United States Senator, thereby event.
ally placing the appointment of Senator Sauls-
bury's successor in the hands of the governor,
who would, of course, be expected to name a
democrat.

A WARRANT FOR A CONGRESSMAN
Another Move I'm the Contest between
Mr.. Glover and his Secretary.

A warrant was issued this morning by Justice
Walter for Representative Glover, charging
him with false swearing. The justice issued
the paper on the oath of Jas. H Graham, who
made affidavit as follows:
ION the 10th day Of November, in the year
OF our Lord 1883, before me the subscriber,
justice Of the peace in and for the District,
personally appeared Jas. II. Graham
and made oath in due form Of law,
deposes and saws that John NJ.
Glover, did, on the 10th day OF September,
1885, in the county aforesaid, willfully and
knowingly swear ont before q. Bundy a
warrant against affiant, charging him with
being violent and disorderly on Connecticut
avenue n. W.. in Washington, knowing that his
said charge was false and corrupt" The, war
rant was taken to police headquarters and sent
out for service, but Mr.. Glover was not found
at home. Mr.. Graham was Me. Glovers sec
rotary. 1t will be maintained in support OF
the charge against Mr.. Glover that Graham
was not even on Connecticut avenue on the day
when he was charged with being violent. On the
affidavit referred TO sworn out before Justice
Brndy a warrant was issued for Graham, but
the Police Court records do not show
that the case ever came TO trial The
issuing OF the warrant to-day seems TO be an
other move in a somewhat active campaign that
the two men interested are carrying on against
each other. Mr.. Graham is now on
trial before the Criminal Court charged
by Mr.. Glover with HOUSEKEEPING on Septem-
Der 10 last and taking some papers belonging

Scolding Mr.. Chamberlain.

The English papers are good-humoredly
scolding Mr.. Chamberlain for going across the
sea for wife. The PaR Nal Go1,tte SAYS:
"The advent of an American girl into English
society at first was a curiosity. II soon became
portent II is now assuming the dimensions OF
a menace. Before long it will be recognized
as calamity. of all forms OF competition
there is none so deadly as this We can stand
our farmers being ruined by American corn.
We can listen unmoved to the walls Of graziers
made bankrupt by the influx Of American beef.
But the American girl is too much. Already
we hear the murmur and the drawing room
growl Of the despairing Belgrayian mother,
who sees, season after season. American girls
swoop down upon the most eligible partners
and cut our native girls out before the very
eyes of their distracted parents. The Prince
of Wales is of course 10 blame for this state OF
things, as he was the first 10 set the fashion by
noticing American girls in English society. IL
Is a curious fact" also remarks the Gdzne
that so many of the English who marry
Americans have tried an English wife before
they venture upon marrying an American.
Mr.. Chamberlain is a case in point"

An Indian Maiden Killed.

Great excitement is said to prevail at Red

of the remnants Of the old Winnebago tribe,
which formerly was located on the Winnebago
reservation near Tremeapleau, Wis They
were removed to Nebraska, but numbers Of
them still remain in the vicinity, the authori-
ties being unable to compel them to remain in
Nebraska, as they still cling to the memories
and associations connected with the reserva-
ton. About 800 of them remain in Wisconsin.
and are mainly self-supporting, but numbers
OF them live still by hunting and fishing, and
retain all their old customs and superstitions.
Except where the government has compelled
them to desist, at the commencement Of the
hunting season every year 1t is an old custom
to indulge in certain ceremonies and orgies to
propitiate GitchemanitOu and to procure q
age ones who are living on Prairie Island
went over to Brenton, Wis, and purchased
their supply of ammunition and returned with
a large quantity Of fire-water to assist in the
ceremonies.
The dancing and bowling commenced and
the orgies were kept up to a late hour at night.
Finally several old men drew to one side and
held an animated conversation. The hunting
seasons had been bad and something must be
done to propitiate the Great Spirit. Finally,
when all were intoxicated with the liquor and
feverish with excitement young buck, with
his knife in his hand, jumped into the center
Of the ring Of dancers and, seizing young girl
by the hair, dragged her into the center and
stabbed her several times in the breast. He
then dabbled his hands in the warm blood
which gushed from the wounds and smeared it
over his face.
Jno. Walker, a civilized Indian, told Squire
Barcley, of Red Wing, Of the horrible murder.
The young buck escaped, but is being hunted
for, and the police in all the surrounding
towns have description of him. The greatest
excitement prevails and the old prejudice
against the Indians is revived.

DENVER, Col. Nov. 10.-The Denver builders

such excellent letters OF recommendation that
he had little difficulty in obtaining the best Of

$4,000 on unfinished buildings and took his de-

valuable house filled with costly furniture was
left behind. This has been almost entirely pill

his cunning, was unable to deceive plasterer
named Carson. The latter found him and his
wife very near midnight on board train. en-
route for Los Angeles. At the point of pistol
he demanded of Weibel the 1915 due him.

Cowdrey electoral ticket polled only 1 900 vose.
in this city, while Col. Coogan, the labor cam
didate for mayor, had almost 10000 Besides
these there were some members OF the labor
party who would not vote for Col Coogan FOR

may be that Oswald ottendorfer and Wilson =
Bissell, who headed the democratic ticket as
electors at large, may have a small plurality.

plurality in the state is less than 1900. The
labor party in this state polled last fail over

voted the combination Redpath and republi-

the labor vote is large enough. "a votes out OF
New Iork's 36 should not be cast for Harrison,

years Of age, born October 19, 1869; had been
employed in driving cart for Mr.. Childs. and
he appeared perfectly content with what the
court gave him. The judge remarked that the
number Of homicides and other crimes were
perfectly appalling, for it quite rare of late
for week to pass without a homicide. and the
court was called on nine days out of ten to try

An Aged Burglar Sentenced.

SAMUEL EMERY, sINTY-sEvEN YEARS OLD, SENT
TO THE PENITENT1ARY FOR TWELVE YEARS.
Judge Montgomery to-day sentenced Samuel
Emery, alias John Howard, alias Joseph
Skinner, the old colored man convicted on
Thursday in six cases of HOUSEKEEPING in the
the night. 10 two years in each case-twelve
years in all.
In answer to the court he said: 81 am now
nearly sixty-eight years of age and don't ex-
pect to live much longer, and 1 hope that the
court will have mercy on me. / would like,
after the sentence is pronunced, to remain in
Jail few months till / can have my counsel
appeal for pardon conditioned on my leaving
the United States for the balance of my natural
life" He further said that when a slave he
had no trouble. He came to Washington and
worked at the Chronicle Office and enlisted in
the Army. and afterward worked in hotels in
Tyrone and Pittsburg, Pa. He came back in
1868 to put in a claim, and the colored people
about that time began to vote. Then nv
troubles commenced" He had never had any
mercy shown him even for the first offense. He
was sentenced to seven years for larceny. and
after being out four years he was convicted OF
grand larceny and sentenced for twelve years.
He denied that he had pistol at the time, and
said that circumstances led him in to this The
court said that the only thing in his favor was
his age, and if he was a young man he would
probably impose a sentence of thirty years
five years in each case.
