TENTH WARD RETURNS.
The Twsnty-ffth Precinct shows
Majority OF sac for the Democrats.

The Twsnty-ifth Precinct shows a
Majority OF 34e for the Democrats.
The Twenty-ffth district Of the Tenth
ward made its returns yesterday after
noon about 3 o'clock The reason for
this delay is given by the Republican
guperv isor, Charles w. Solloway, who
says:
1--WE bad slow clerks. The men were
all tired and worn out. We began slow
to make sure of the count and the men
gave out. don't think that the delay
wss because OF desire to do wrong"
The cause of the delay also, was the
fact that there we're forty-nine more
votes in the box than were shown on the
talley sheets a. E Lannon wished to
have these votes counted. Mr.. Solloway,
however, would not agree to this, and
wanted the votes thrown out. Mr. Lam
non finally agreed to this proposition,
but when Mr. Solloway saw that the
votes which would be thrown out were
Republican, he changed his mind and the
forty-nine votes were counted. Mr.. Sol
10 way, Republican. said in response to
the question:
"Did you have any trouble with the
other election officers during the day."
"0nly in one instance. There was n
illegal vote offered, to which | objected.
There was considerable talk about 1t and
/ said the ticket should not go in the
box. | was there to see that there should
be an honest election and proposed to
have it SO or die in the attempt to make
it so. In that / was manfully supported
by the Democratic supervisor, j. Max
Hammond, who said was right, and he
supported me after that In all my efforts
for an honest election and a fair count.
The result was that we had fair cleo
tion AND an honest return2
There vera forty-nine more tickets
in the box than there were names on the
list which after discussion were counted.
These votes think were voted by double
ballots We found seven or eight double
tickets during the count which were in
atsntly torn up by the Democratic jndge
We had no trouble after the the window
was down aad nobody refused to sign the
retuFna
The count shows Democratic mai or
ity of 342 ia the district which makes a
total of 567 in the ward.
The trouble during the day at the polls
was not of any Importance, the only
complaint of the Democrats being that
the deputy marshsls had no business
there After their removal the crowds
around the polls became very quiet and
&nally dispersed.

county met at the Court House this
morning at 10 o'clock, to pass upon the
returns of the county.
A great deal of interest was manifested
by the leaders of both parties All
kinds Of wildcat rumors were flying
around among the Republicans to the
effect that the Democrats had conspired
to throw ont enough Republican wards
in the city of Wilmington to give the
Democrats a majority in the county and
the room was full OF Republican lawyers.
A conference OF the Democrats was held
in the grand jury room shortly before the
body met and the matter of fraud was
.eanvnssed from all sides.
When the proceedings began the
court room was filled with spectators,
the negroes being well represented.
The board OF canvass is composed of
the election inspectors, and the sheriff

The Body FOand Floating In The Chris
tiana Is That of james Morrison.
The body of the drowned man, which
was yesterday found floating In the
Christiana opposite the shipyard Of the
Harlan and HolliDgsworth Company,
was found 20 be that of James Morrison,
an engineer living at No. 1909 Shallcross
avenue. This morning his wife called
at the Office of Coroner Gamble and iden-
titled the personal effects which were
found on the drowned mans body. She
was almost overcome with grief, and
could only make short statement
She said that her husband left home on
Saturday, October 25, saying that he was
going to New York city for few days,
and bidding her an sffectionRte goodbye.
It was not unusual for her husband to be
gone al DAYS at his work and Mrs
Morrison thought nothing about Il until
last Saturday night, when she became
alarmed at not having heard a word from
him since his departure, and told sew
eral neighbors. She was horrided on see
ing the description of the drowned man

When Morrison left his home he was
apparently enjoying good health and II

cans Here-what VIII BE the Outcomes


cans Here-what VIII BE the Outcomes
The Republicans have been out gem
eraled by the Democrats OF this state al
every t1rn during the present canvass
The leaders of that party are very much
discouraged. The Democrats hold tine
winning card in the shape of the Board
of Canvass OF New Castle county
and 1t will be used to thwart any evil
designs the Republicans may have upon
the Democratic vote in Sussex county,
which came before the Republican Board
of Canvass which met in Georgetown to-
day.
It was the scheme of the Republican
managers to allow the New Castle Board
of Canvass TO accept the vote in this
country which gave the Republicans a
majority here, ana there as soon as that
was done to telegraph to the board
in Georgetown and instruct them to
throw out two hundreds IN that county,
wherein they claim the Democrats com.
mitted fraudulent acts on Tuesday
To forward this scheme Francis Bacon,
the Republican leader In Sussex county,
and Marshal Prettyman, acting editor of
tbs Milford News ana Advertiser, were
sent to this city and MIR. Bacon began
his work by giving out the
statement in the Republican morn
ing daily in this city this
morning that the Republicans weuld
not contest the election in Sussex county
While he attended to this part of the
scheme. Prettyman opened communiea-
stion over the wires with the Republican
leaders in Sussex.
The Democrats of this county became
aware of their scheme and took steps to
circumvent 1t by deferring the action of
the New Castle board of canvass
until this afternoon. Mr.. BayRrd
went to Sussex county in regard
to the matter, and should the Republi-
cans in that county attempt such an out
rage the Democrats will undoubtedly
throw out several of the Republican
districts in this city where the most
fragrant acts of fraud were committed.
If the Republican board Of canvass of
Sussex county accepts the vote as it 10
polled, there is no donbt. what
ever. that the Democrats will
concede them. New Castle county
IS compromise, and allow the Republi-.
can Irregularities in this county to find
their rebuke at the hands of the people
two years hence.

Perpetual LamDs.

Cedcnrus makes mention of a lamp
which, together with an image of Christ.
was found at Odessa during the reign of
the Emperor Justinian. It was set over a
certain gate there, and sealed so as to ex-
clude all air. The seal testifies that these
details were carried out soon after the cru
ci1xion. When opened by the soldiers of
Cosroes, king of Persia, it was found to be
burning as brightly as when inclosed over
500 years before The Persian forces broke
down the sacred shrine and poured out the
oil that was still in the lamp, an act which is
said have been followed by great plague,
in which nearly every one of Cosroes' troops
persisted.
At the time the old monasteries Of Eng
land were demolished a lamp was found in
tomb supposed to be that Of Constantine
Chorus, father of Constantine the Great,
which was thought to have continued
burning there ever since his burial, which
was about 300 years after Christ 1t is said
that the Romans understood how to resolve
gold into an oil, few ounces Of which
would suffice to burn 1000 years. If such
an art was ever understood it is now ire
trieTably lost.-St. Louis Republic.

THE PROSPECT OUT WEST.

Mr.. F. f. Grimes, register of deeds of
Wichita county, who was in the city yes
terday on business brings a cheering re
port from West Kansas. So far as
Wichita county is concerned he says the
area of fall wheat sOwn is from ten to
twelve times greater than that of last
year and that it is uniformly promising.
For the most part the Turkey wheat was
used for seed. Mr.. q. says that the coun-
try covering the entire distance from this
city to Leoti is studded with wheat fields
that are now green. Southern and West
ern Kansas with an average winter and
favorable spring will turn off more wheat
in 1891 than in any year in the history of
the state.
