A report from the American Bible
Society showed a balance in hand
to the credit of the Sussex County Bible

workings of that society and suggested
that II would be advantageous to both the
parent society and the Sussex County So
ciety IL the latter would authorize the
transfer of a part of this credit from the
purchase to the donation account. In ac-
cordance with this suggestion the Rev. A.
d. Davis moved that the Sussex County
Bible Society transfer 81 800 of our pur-
chase account to the donation account.

was laid on the table for consideration at

They Burn the Home of william Huff
hngton in Retaliation for Thorough
goods ENecution--The Brute's Victim
Narrowly Escapes Death.
Special correspondence OF Gazette and journal
Dover, May 14.--Word has been received
here that the houseof William Huntington,
father of Louisa huntington, who was as
saulted by James Thorouhgood, was con-
sumed by fire on Monday night The
lluflingtons reside near Viola.
1t is reported that Louisa made narrow
escape from being burned to death in the
conllngratlOn, but was saved. Ii is thought
that some friend Of Thoroughbred fired
the house through revenge.
DOVER, May 15.--A representative of
THE GAZETTE went to Viola yesterday
TO learn the particulars of the burning Of
the Huntington home. Fate seems to be
against the family and especially the little
girl Louisa, The home, neat little frame
dwelling story and a-hilf high, stood
about Y quarter Of q mile north of Viola.
Here Huntingdon, his wife and four little
children lived happily until recently their
troubles began. They had Just got through
with the Thoroughbred case and settled
down 10 home life when on Tuesday
night the house was burned to the ground
and all its contents destroyed leaving the
family entirely destitute. Even the money
the trial amounting to about $50, was also
burned
There seems TO be mystery as to the
origin of the fire. It was discovered
about. 10 O'Clock by Emily Benson,
ncighbor. She gave the alarm and by
heroic efforts aroused the family and got
them from the building just as it was
about 10 cave in. All the children were
burned to some extent, but Louisa seemed
To fare the worst. she was badly burned
about the head and her cars entirely
burnt off. huntington himself was the
last To be brought from the house. Emily
says she could not wake him and pulled
him out By the feet. When he was gotten
out it was found that he was intoxicated.
The fire started in the rear of the house
or little back shed. Some think it caught
from the smouldering Goals that were left
from the fire which the supper was pre-
pared on, and others think ii was fired by
q friend OF Thoroughbred, who is under
sentence Of death for assaulting the little
girl, Louisa.l 1t supposed that they got Huff
flngton drunk and took revenge by firing
the house There is no clue us to who the
party is, as all Of rhoroughgood's friends
reside further down the State.

Negroes Demand Recognition.
Delaware Twilight, colored organ.


The Republican nomination has placed
some pretty good and capable candidates
before the citizens soliciting suffrage. So
far as the colored voters are concerned we
will undoubtedly support them provided,
however, the party will encourage its can
didates to pledge themselves to give us
representation according to population 1t
IS no longer a question of time with us
the day of salvation is at hand. We will
aim to assist in supporting candidates of
that party willing to pledge themselves to
give MS recognition according to the popu-
latlon under the next municipal admins
tration. There is no uncertain sound in this
bugle. Candidates need not shrink. They
can not hoodwink the negro vote any
longer by making a few individual prom
ises and allow the party to break them
after they are elected. They can not run
with the hare and hold with the houndn
this trip. We should Immediately negoti-
ate plans and formulate an organization
to press this deserving claim. Ii is ques-
ton. Of vital Importance worthy of our
undivided attention and united effort A
meeting to that effect should be called
among colored voters who are in position
to practice the preaching of this gospel to
the letter. We want no coward in our
band. Nothing but earnestness will con-
vince the whole people of our right. This
done and recognition is assured

WASHINGTON, d. c., May Ex-senator
Matt" Quay came into town on Satur-
day, but the fact was known to but one
or two intimate friends. He disclosed
his presence to-day, and has made ar
engagements TO meet President Harrison
this morning The purport of the con
ference is pretty we'll understood. Mr..
Harrison has concluded that the Penn
sylvania boss is still power in his
state, and is ready to make deal for
the Keystone delegates. The basis of
the deal, so far as Senator Quay is con
cerned, will undoubtedly be his contin-
uance as patronage distributor in which
position he is not to be interfered with
by Don Cameron, Postmaster general
Wanamaker or any one else.

The Navassa Rioters, Case.


WASHINGTON, ID. 9. May 1S.-The
President disposed of the case of
the Navassa rioters to-day. His
actions are embodied in the fol-
lowing; II have examined with
care the papers that the death
sentences should be executed. The
killing vas, as to each of the prison.
ers satisfactorily, established and
that il was felonious is also
clear But the conditions sur
rounding the prisoners were of
most peculiar character. They
were American citizens and under
contract 10 labor upon speci-
fled work within specified territory.
They were without opportunity to APP
peal to any court or public officer for re-
dress of any injury or the enforce
ment Of any civil right. Their
employers were in fact their masters,
the bosses over them imposed fines and
penalties without any semblance of trial.
These penalties extended to imprison-
ment and even to the practice Of
tying men up for refusal to
work. Redress was impossible and
the state of things generally
such as might make men desperate
prevailed, the United States government
should provide by law for the protec-
ton Of laborers in Navassa before pub
lie officer, whose duty it should be
to see that the men who
go there to labor are well i'm
formed as to the nature of the
obligations assumed and should main
tain in the island an officer with
power to hear complaints and to adjust
controversies. There is not case
for a pardon. The crime was very
grave one but taking into account all Of
its antecedents and incidents L have
consented to commute the sentences to
imprisonment for life.
