NEWARK, Sept. 2.-Lately many COM
plants have been heard among horsemen
here of the violations of the State law re.
quiring all traction engines while
travelling upon the public roads to be fur
nlshed with courier, mounted or other
wise, whose duty it shall be to precede the
engine and give notice of its approach so
that persons with fractions horses NAV
have time to get out of the way, or be pre-
pared for meeting this modern Juggernaut
The law also compels owners of these ma
chimes to display upon them at night red
lights in front to warn people of their an.
proach and this provision of the law Is
also ignored. Some very narrow escapes
from serious rnnaways have lately been
made and if the victims of these violations
would remember that there is a heavy
penalty imposed on breakers of this law
and inform on them there would be more
care exercised by those in charge of the
engines.

NEW CASTLE, Aug 2e.-Carpenters
began the work yesterday Of repairing
and remodeling the freight depot of the
T., w. u b. Railroad Company here.
An office will be erected in the south
end OF the building and other extensive
improvements will be made.
William Il. j.. Barr and friend. a
young lady, had very narrow escape
from death a few evenings ago. The
couple were ont driving on the cause
way north of this city, and were an.
proaching the New Castle and Edge
Moor cutoff railroad. When they were
within a few feet Of the track a fast
freight train dashed by and frightened
the occupants of the carriage nearly out
OF their wits. They were unable to hear
or see the approaching train owing to
the high embankments on each side of
the track. Had they proceeded two feet
further, Mr., Barr says, they would have
been struck by the train, which was
going at good speed.
New CASTLE, Aug. 3l.-The pnblic
schools will reopen on Monday next,
when it is expected the repairs to No. /
school will be completed. All the old
corps of teachers have been retained.

unknown man was found in the reeds on
the river shore opposite the Eckles farm

Undertaken Clewell proceeded to the scene
ana brought the remains to this city. The
body was badly decomposed, all the
mesh on the head and feet being

identity the remains. The deceased
had on. pairsof blue overasll strapped to
his waist and gauze shirt, and had every
appearance of being sailor who probably
met his death by falling overheard from a
vessel on the river The man was of pow

jury was empanneled, with John G. CORN
ley as foreman and harry T.. Clewell as
secretary, and after viewing the remains

come to his death by causes unknwn to

The Maryland Republicans, in con-
yention at Ocean City Thursday, put a
novel plank in their platform. They ask
for the extension Of reciprocity to
tobacco. Reciprocity with whom? Ex-
Congressman Mudd, the father of this
plank, says England, France and Ger
many Horrors And Mr.. Mudd further
SAID that such reciprocity is tone of the
absolute necessities Of southern Mary
land, that "the idea embodied in the
resolution is no Dream" that sit is in
the line Of natural reciprocity" that he
had thought much about il" and that
he was confident that it can be accom-
plished by President Harrison and Sec
rotary Blaine And those degenerate
Maryland Republicans, instead Of
promptly kicking out of the convention
the man who dared talk of reciprocity
with England, France and Germany,
actually adopted his plank with a
whoop and a hurrah. How altogether
terrible this free trade dragon must be
growing! Within another six months
these Maryland Republicans may be
calling for reciprocity in tin-plate as
Zone Of the absolute necessities Of their
canning interests; the Republicans of
Philadelphia for reciprocity in wool for
the salvation Of their carpet factories;
the Republicans of New England reiter-
ating their long standing demand for
free coal and iron, and the Republicans
OF other States following suit in the
specialties essential to the trade of their
respective localities. Poor McKinleyl

Fitness for tho Position.

Special Dispc.:h TO he In',iliGcaccr
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. o7.-In the
recent changes in position in tho speak
Crship tho friends OF Congressman Viii
son, OF West Virginia, find an oppor.
,unity for him, and their argument is n
plausible one. They say that hc will
be acceptable to both the Southern and
tho Northern Democrats. Assuming
that Mr.. Mills and Mr.. Crisp so divide
the South MS to make tho election OF
either impossible, then Mr.. Wilson be-
comes the logical candidate. Sectional
ism could not be urged upon him, as he
is OH tho bordcrland OF tho North and
the South. AS tariff reiormer he has
stood at the front. and has shown great
breadth in public affairs. Nor is he
without support. His three Demo.
cratic colleagues from West Virginia
are for him, and six OF tho four.
teen Democrats from Ohio are said
10 be ready to 90 to him as
soon rs they can break from candidates
TO whom they are now pledged. Mr..
Wilson can got probably four votes
from Pennsylvania, as there is Il friendly
feeling toward him in the delegation,
the members OF which have scattered
among the leading candidates without
particular enthusiasm for any. Two
votes from tho Virginia delegation that
are now promised TO Mr.. Mills are at
Mr. Wilson's disposal ii tho time should
arise when they could do good. 1t will
thus be seen that the member from
West Virginia, who has not made can
yass nor antagonized any interest, will
have from fifteen to twenty votes with
which he can present himself to tho
caucus. In the event that there is 4
dead lock among the leaders this is
quite respectable and influential iol-
lowing to have behind dark horse.

is not yet member of tho senate, and
that body would not act until he Ind

contested on the ground that he was
not an inhabitans OF Ohio. Hc took his
seat, however, tho senate ruling that
according TO the constitution OF Ohio he
was an inhabitant.
Now comes an important discussion
upon the definition OF "non.inhabitant,"
under tho Ohio constitution. The
speakers were OF the general opinion
that Brice would take his seat in spite
OF all they could do to oppose him, but
an effort will be made in the legislature
to unseat him. At,his point an exccu-

with.
Coming out OF executive session at

FOR pROCTOH,S PLACE.



| Spccid, Dfpdich 10 tie inteLioencer.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 27.-Con-
siderable nervousness is being shown
in two or three quarters over the ap-
proaching appointment Of Il Secretary
OF War to succeed Senator-elect and
Secretary Proctor. Three or four men
believe that they have almost a sure
thing OF the position. Ex-Gov, Cheney,
OF New Hampshire. Assistant Secretary
OF War Grant. OF Minnesota, and Mr.
Estec, .oi California, arc ali mentioned
for the place with i greater or less de-
gree OF certainty.
Some gentlemen who have talked
with the President on the subject dur
ing the past few days report the chief
executive as saying that he would be
very glad to give the position to the
Pacific slope ii it would consolidate
upon some aspirants, but so far strong
element, said to be headed by Senator
Stanford and NJ. II. De Young, have re-
fused to endorse Mr.. Estcc. The Pres
idcnt is reported to have said that he
believed the Pacific slope was entitled
to cabinet position and ii the factions
would come together they might get
this place, but barely intimated that he
could and would not recognize one fac
tion in opposition to another, so the
slope is out OF tue race. Very strong
are the endorsements of Ex-Governor
Cheney. Not only is the New lamp
shire delegation solid for him but also 4
large number OF prominent Republicans
in Vermont, New York and Connect
cut and eastern states generally.
Assistant Secretary Grant is reported to
have the endorsement OF Secretary
Proctor and large contingent OF
Northwestern Republicans, but IN i'm
preston prevails that he will not be
appointed and stands Il. least third in
rank OF preference. The President has
said that he would not appointa secre.
