DIRECT TAX CLAIMANTS.
They Still Crowd Around Commissions
j, Frank WiIds,


The crowds waiting on Direct Tax
Commissioner j. Frank Wilds in Regis
ter Cooch's Office yesterday were
greater still than those Of Tuesday.
Men and women were gathered there
from all parts of the State, from Balti-
more hundred on the extreme south of
Sussex, to Brandywine hundred in the
extreme north of New Castle county.
The crowds are 30 great that the ques-
ton has been suddenly raised whether
the appropriation of $4,000 is sufficient
to meet the total of all the applications.
1t is known, however, that numbers of
applicants exceed in their statement
their rightful amount. All this is easily
rectified when the commissioner COM
pares the application with the amount
against each name in the record.
OF course a large share of the re-
funded items will be on account of
estates, instead of to living persons.
Under any circumstances should the
appropriation be insufficient, there is no
fear but that all who are entitled to re-
payment according TO the act Of Con-
An appropriation of $4,000 or so was

to the state of Maryland.
The tax under which this levy was
made was ordered by Congress in 1861.
1t was levied on real estate and for the
purpose of prosecuting the war. A GER
tain assessment was placed upon each
state as direct tax. Some of the states,
such as Pennsylvania, paid the tax I'M
mediately out of the state treasury.
Delaware took no notice of the assess
ment. The government in 1867 sent its
own assessors around in that year and
the levy was made and collected in the
following year by United States col
leetors.
Among the larger amounts now being
refunded to Delaware citizens or to
their representatives are the following:
Edward w. Gilpin, 44.99; William
Bright, $5S.46; G. w. Rowland, $46.SS;
the E |. du Pont de Nemours Company,

Associated Press Dispatch by Special WiroA
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, July 49,
Judge j. A. Warder, who Is under in
dictment for the murder Of his son-tn-
law, the banker, Simpson Fayette, COM
mitted suicide last night at bis resi-
dence, on Lookout Mountain, by blow
ing out his brains.
Since the death of his son-in-law, the
result of family quarrel, in which the
son-in-law, Fayette, was shot and killed,
Judge Warders' daughter wounded and
he himself seriously hurt, he has been
suffering from melsncholia and his
mind has been In o very unsettled con-
dition. Since his release from confine-
ment, on account Of his wound he has
been residing on Lookout Mountain
with his wife and mother. Yesterday,
upon the advice of his mother, he went
to the city in order to be relieved of
the monotony Of rural life.
By some unknown means he secured
a pistol in Chattanooga. Last night at
midnight, after saying his prayers in the
presence of his mother and bidding her
an affectionate goodbye, he placed the
revolver at his temple and fired, the ball
entering his brain and causing death In
about two hours.
Mr.. Warder, before the unfortunate
tragedy in which he killed Mr.. Fayette,
his son-in-law, was one of the most
prominent politicians in the state. At
one time he was mentioned as the Re-
publican nominee for governor. He
served at one time on the supreme
bench of the state. He was attorney
for the city of Chattanooga up to last
night, when his resignation was accepted
by the city council. His suicide has
created sensation throughout the state.

A wel-known Democrat, in comment
ing upon the present developments of
the 1900 tax receipts question, said to
THE GAZETTE reporter Monday morn
ing;
"This exposure of McKee's venality
is nothing more nor less than on par
with one thief when caught turning
states evidence against the other.
1.-THE whole story, as told by the
Daily Republican and quoted again by the
Morning Neaos Monday, as plea OF Re-
publican party defence, bears on its
evidendence of falsehood and fraud. 1t
is alleged that these taxes were paid on
January Sd by the Republican commit
tee, in good faith. Notwithstanding
this here was Solomon Hersey in daily
attendance at the Levy Court. He kept
minutes of the proceedings and pub
lished every detail of business trans
acted with such a degree of exacti-
tude that he became known as the
twelfth member of the Levy Court. In
addition there was in attendance f.
Eden Bach, Harry Mahaffy and Daniel
F. Stewart, closely watching every
movement the Republican members of
of the court made. Yet, notwithstand-
ing, thus they suffered 1000 Republicans
TO be returned as errors with their Bach
& Co.'S alleged positive knowledge that
their taxes had been paid in full and in
good faith by the Republican committee.
Yet they never raised an objection 10
the acceptance to these lists of delin-
'ouents, although they saw them re-
ceived and approved by the Levy Court
and saw the tax rate for 1891 based ON
that return.
"They never raised an objection to
the return Of these people until three
months had expired from the time that
they could have been legally questioned
by the Levy Court.
at will not do at this late date for the
Republican committee to assert, after
being.in the Levy Court daily and wit
Messing the return of the delinquents
made and then received by the Levy
Court, that they were in ignorance OF
that transaction.
"More than this, when they professed
to have made the discovery, about June
80, they never made known to Levy
Court the information they have pro-
fessed to have had Of the fraud practiced
in New Castle county, nor did they pro-
duoe before the Levy Court the tax re-
ceipts in proof of the fraud. These were
guarded in the secret possession of two
or three members OF the committee,
without even making known to the
Levy Court the evidence they claim to
have had. On strict party vote
resolution was passed authorizing the
placing of the 1000 names on the list
without producing proper evidence Of
their right to do ". Following this

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 15.-Two
daring attempts were made to wreck the
Adirondack sleeping-car express train
near Mechanicsville about 1916 o'clock
this morning by piling ties upon the
track in two places, one near the brick
yard crossing, mile south, and the
other between the canal bridge and
Park avenue. As the latter place is in
front of a saloon and near two hotels,
and several dwelling houses, it is re-
markable that no one saw the fiend at
his work. The first obstruction was
seen and removed by track walker,
who signalled the train. The engineer
then ran slowly and discovered the
second pile In time to avoid striking it.

Many Republicans are disguised at

cry. They say 1t is outrageous that the
private secretary of the "only" Republic
can senator, chairman of the Republi-
can committee and lordly boss of the
Republican party Of New Castle county,
should have been guilty Of selling out
to candidate like Hickman, particu-
larly, with such good Republican and

THE BIGGEST DoG.-The St. Bernard
dog, Lord Buto, which arrived on the
White Star Line steamship Nomadic at
New York few weeks ago, is not only the
largest dog of bis kind, but the largest dog
in the world. He was bought by the Men
thon Kennels, of PE0lixyille, Pa, fro m
Thomas Shillcock, of Birmingham, Eng
land, for So, $50, for breeding purposes.
His success on the show bench throughout
England has been almost phenomenal. He
has won in all twenty-six first prizes, as
we'll as number of cups and medals. He
was seasick from the time the vessel left
the Mersey until she anchored in Quaran-
tine, but he looked we'll yesterday. He
stands one inch higher at the shoulders
than the champion Sir Bedivere, and is
more than twenty pounds heavier. Lord
Buto is So inches high at the shoulder, and
weighs, when he is in good condition, 247
pounds. His pedigree ia of the best. The
one-time champion Save is his father, while
the world. famed Plinlimonon bitch Sabrina
is his mother. Sabrina was by Bayard,
out of Donna. As o stud dog he stands
unrivalled among his kind. He is the sire
of several of the leading priza-winners Of
the day. As show dog be dosen't come
up to Sir Bedivere. He has good coat of
a rich orange color, slightly brindled on The
back. His collar is some what indistinct,
and although his face is well-marked, the
black shading on the cheeks and the part
ing en- the skull being very distinct, his
marking and color do not compare with
those of Sir Bsdivere, who is absolutely
perfect in that respect. He is the superior
of S Bedivere in everything else, howev-
er.
