WAsHINGToH, May 15.-rhe President
to-day nominated Andrew Il. Thomas of
Milford, Dsl., as postmaster.

This outcome Is tho ending OF one OF the
fercest factional fights for spoils known In
Delaware since the advent Of the Harrison
administration. The leading candidates
we're William v. aipple, WHO was backed by
the Massey faction OF the Republican party
and James P. Pierce, the choice OF Senator
Higgins and his followers. Sipple had a
grelt lead In tho backing OF tba townspeo.
Nle. and was the decided favofitA. But he
did not stand In with Senator Higgins, and
though the fierce fight he made scared
Higgins away from his original intention of
appointing Pierce, 1t failed TO bring him to
such point OF complete furreuder as to
appoint sipple. He orawled out OF the
dilemma by giving the office to Thomas,
who only entered the contest few months
ago.
The appointment OF Thomas does not
give satisfaction to either side, and there is
much growing. Thomas is retired farmer
and merchant, who never before figured In
local politics, and has no pronounced per-
sonal or political following. The salary OF
the oflc 0 is 81 800 per annum.

won after the first hundred yards, none OF

made an important ruling In limited train
case yesterday. II. A, Caldwell broker
got on limited train at E,is at night with
an ordinary ticket. After the train had left
the city the conductor finding Caldwell on
the train with local ticket stopped the
train and elected MIN. Caldwell took
sick from exposure and sued for
$4,000 damages. The legal arbitrator
ruled that the company WAS obliged
to carry Caldwell to the place for
which he had a ticket, and gave him indg-
mont OF 1876. The railroad company took
exceptions and Judge Gunuison sustained
the exceptions, ruled that Caldwell ought
to have tAken tins precaution to ask at the
ticket Office II he was on an accomnodn-
tion train; that his ticket was not good on
that train and that he had no business
there,
