Answer the Charge.

He Steals Valueless Old Hat and Must
Answer the Charge
Charles Graham, the new police officer,
had his first case at the Municipal
Court this morning. He charged Ed
mund Moore, colored, with being drunk.
Moore was fined 81 and costs. George
w. Hams, drunk, was fined 81 and
costs. Andrew McWilliams, drunk, 81
and costs. Samuel II. Polly, drunk 81 and
costs. In the case of Edward Coleman,
who was charged yesterday with tres
pass, Mr.. Lyman requested that he be
discharged as his uncle had undertaken
to look after him. Coleman, who is an
intelligent looking boy, was then dis
charged.
George Wilson, colored, was charged
with the larceny of hat, from ex-Sheriff
John Pyle. The hat, which was so bat
tered that it appeared to belong to the
antediluvian era, was recognized by Mr.
Pyle as his property. 1t was stolen from
the rack in the house, and he afterwards
saw it on the prisoners head. He could
not be mistaken, for he had worn it long
enough TO recognize it. 1t seemed to be
a case of much ado about nothing"
still the larceny was proved and Wilson
was held in 5000 bail to answer the
charge at the upper court.
Frederick ShumRster, small boy, was
charged with the larceny of pair Of
shoes from the store of John T. More
land, No. 919 Tatnall street. His father
Charles ShHmaster was the only witness
against him. Yesterday afternoon Mrs
Shumaster found the SHOES concealed in
an upper story of their house She
brought them down and showed them to
her husband. They charged their boy
with stealing them. but he denied it.
Mr.. Shumaster then brought the shoes ia
the police station, and had his boy ar
rested. He told the court that his son
had gotten into bad company and that he
wanted to have him sent to the House of
Correction. John F. Moreland recognized
the shoes as his property. The boy
denied the theft, but said that another
boy named Thomas Reilly had given
them to him. He was recommitted Mr..
Shumaster was much affected and every
person present sympathized with him
William Benson was charged with as
saulting Harry Ling, a Chinsman las
Saturday. The celestial swore that Ben
son had struck him with a stone. Threl
other boys swore that Ben
son was playing ball with them Sstur-
day afternoon. The court considered
that an alibi had been proved and Benson
was discharged. Judge Ball declare,
that If the real offenders were caugh
they would be severely dealt with

MORE REPUBLICAN HARMONY.
The Republican Party Is hpIit up In Duck

SMYRNA, Del, Sept 27-The nomina-
ton os John IL Hoffecker for state SEN
ator from this hundred. on the Republic
can ticket. has widened the breech
already existing between the Massey and
Higgins factions. The Higgins men say
they are going to bolt the ticket, aud the
Massey men say there is not a Higgins
man in the hundred who can control his
own vote, and that it was Senator Hig-
gins friends who played the 'nigger Rct"
at the primaries and not the Massey men,
Robert d. Hoffecker. editor Of the Smyrna
Times, talked to me last evening. Polit-
ically, Mr. HofIscker is prominent Re.
publican, and although he publishes what
purports to be an Independents weekly
paper, the Oldest resident Ia the hun.
dred, fails to remember time when 1t
was ever accused of having Democratic
leanings. He said:
"The statement that the Massey men
played the niger act in this hundred
Is false 1t was the Higgins men, and
II Mr. Higgins continues the policy he Is
pursuing he will Disrupt the party. The
true circumstances of the care are as fol.
lows
Two or three months before the cleo
tion of delegates, DR.. Moore, the young
Higgins leader, told William A. FAIRIES,
one of the leading Massey men here,
that James Potts was to be sent on from
Washington to control the negro vote
and elect a Higgins delegation Mr..
FAIRIES told DR.. Moore that Potts could
not deliver the goods. Then said DR..
Moore, his head will come of.
Two or three days before the election
young Potts received orders from Judge
Fisher Ia Washington to report to Tbs
Moore Jefferson Frazier combine ant
await orders. He did so. Several eau
cusses were held in DIR Moore's Office
and Jim Potts said he could not contro
the eolored men on such short notice Al
bait for the negroes, Senator Higglnt
hnd sent word that two OF the delegates
TO the state convention should be eol0reC
men Dr. Moore went up 10 Wilmington
the day before The primaries and had hi
ballots printed. but not. as be supposed
without the knowledge Of tho MASSEY

Resienntion ofJustioo nertoiette.


The resignation OF Justice Bertolette
Is IN the hands Of Governor Blggs, will
take effect on the appointment OF sue
cessor. Mr.. Bertolette was FIRST ap-
pointed TO the position In 1873 by Gov
ernor Cochran, and reappointed by Gov.
ernor Charles 0. Stocxley, la 1885, so two
years of bis last term is yet to elapse.
There are a great number OF applicants
for the Office, but as 1t has always been
held by a German speaking person, 1t is
believed that this rule will not be de-
parted from In this present instance. Mr..
BertOlette has always had the good will,
and respect OF the people, and during his
long tenure Of office, believes he has not
made a single enemy. His decisions
IN judicial cases have always been'prompt.
ed by the utmost good Judgment, and
impartiality. That he should have made
no enemies, while filing position natur-
ally likely 10 create many, is In itself
the best tribute thai could be given to
anyman. 1t Is TO be hoped that the
governor will secure for his successor a
man possessing the good qualities Of Mr..
Bertolette.
