WILMINGTON, Dec. 2l-On Tuesday
January 1, the first session of the General
Assembly of Delaware having Repub-
lican majority will be called to order.
just now the sole question of interest in
connection with the Legislature is the
selection of "Uncle ELS" successor In the
United States Senate. The candidates
are Anthony higgins, of New Castle
county; George " Massey, of Kent
county; and Charles II. Treat, of Su ssex
county. Treat claims to have the Sus-
sex delegation Massey's friends claim
the Kent delegation, and Higgins claims
that lac has goodly support promised In
both of the counties.
The Changers are dead set against Mr..
Massey because lie is Il railroad lawyer.
Tho opposition 10 Mr.. Higgins is given
out to be that New Castle County ought
not to have the impudence to even think
of getting the Senator, for two reasons
first, because that county went Demo.
cratic and Kent and Sussex won the Re-
publican victory; second. because Sena-
tor Gray is also from New Castle which
is Wilmington.
There are all sorts of rumors rs 10
deals. One is that Treat, in the event
OF not being able to make the fight, will
throw his force to Higgins. Another is
that both Higgins and Treat, in the
event of Massey having too much
strength in the caucus, will then combine
and 20 for +. G.. Bradford. of this city,
who, while u strong Higgins man. is
well thought of by all factions. Even
the men uhn do nnf thipl, ,I,,. No., w.,

that little objection IL the lower counties
cannot agree-and Mr.. Higgins is out of
the way.

a SINGULAR STORY.
The Assault of John Brown on Jeremiah
DaCey.

Dacey.
John Brown, carpenter, was placed
on trial in the Criminal Court yesterday,
the charge against him being assault
with intent to kill a man named Jcre.
miah Dacey. The case was q somewhat
peculiar one.
Daccy's story was that he and man
named Jerry Murphy were sitting on the
sofa In the house of Mrs. Annie Revels,
when, without any cause whatever, Mrs.
Brown rushed into the room and began
striking him with piece of lathe, called
him an Italian pappy and said he had
insulted her. Her husband followed
with knife, cut at him nine times, in
fliCting a long cash, which the witness
wore conspicuously on the right side of
his face.
Mrs. Revels and jeremiah Murphy
told a similar story, the lady stating on
cross examination that her husband had
left her thirteen years ago to return to
wife and children.
Officers Work and Riley testified that
Mrs. Reveis and Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
were all drunk when arrested.
The defense offered by Brown, who
was represented by Campbell Darlington,
was that he was led to do what he did 10y
the fact that Daccy had insuted his wife.
She had gone down stairs after pitcher
Of water and he heard her scream. He
got to the door in time to hear Dacey call
her vile name and TO see him strike
her Dacey told him he would fix him
the same way.
They grappled; blows were exchanged
Dacey had him against the wall. and
Brown pulled out his pocket-knife and
cut him. Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Brown
knew Dacey before that time. He de-
MED that either he or his wife was drunk.
Mrs. Reves also denied being drunk.
Prosecutor Lipscomb made no argument
to the jury.
The jury returned verdict of not
guilty,
