taking bath himself ordered his wife to do
the same. She refused, and he tried to force
her into the room. She evidently feared
some worse violence, and, breaking away,
fed to the street Joseph partly dressed
himself, ran down stairs and shot her twice
in the breast and arm cad then shot himself
in the head and dropped dead. Mrs. Joseph
was taken to a hospital, where it was not ex-

"The field undoubtedly is narrowing

There are many both in Kent and

the Senator comes from either of these

they are after is the best man. All that
is wanted for Senator is a man who can

people, or as many as could crowd into
Waverly hall, attended a meeting of the
Socialistic Labor party called for the trans
action Of business and the promotion OF
Socialistic doctrines. Mrs. Lucy Parsons
was present and made her speech in the same
hall which they closed against her week

Made by His Neighbors.

Made by His Neighbors.
Dennis Dougherty, who keeps a saloon
at Rising Sun, at the end of the city
railway line, takes exception to the arti-
Gle which appeared in these columns one
week ago on the Gath instant, in that it
maintained that he was an improper per-
son to enjoy the privilege of license to
sell intoxicating liquors. He states, first,
that a majority of the people who reside
in his neighborhood, say that he should
have the license which the court granted
last term for one year more. Second. that
it is false in every particular, that he
keeps or has kept disorderly house as
was charged by two persons before the
courts and that his neighbors
are ready to testify to this statement.
Third, that he is drunken and disorderly
person himself is as far from the truth,
Mr. Dougherty declares, as his perse-
cutors are from grace. His neighbors,
it is said, are willing to testify that there
is not a soberer hotel man in New Castle
county, nor one who is more generous, as
he is always ready to help the needy
Fourth, the charge that he does not have
proper stabling was refuted before tho
court by two estimable gentlemen who
have always led sober lives. and it was tx
be presumed that the court laid great
stress upon their testimony
In conclusion Mr. Dougherty wishes i
understood that the cause Of the attacl
on him in respect to his saloon is Of lonl
standing. the outgrowth of an old neigh
