Dover, DEL, Jan. 15.-Within the
past three weeks four clubs of the
Farmers Alliance have been organized
in Mispillion hundred, one of the
strongest Democratic hundreds in Kent
county. The membership is large and
increasing, and nearly entirely Demo-
cratic. So quietly has the work been
done that even the Democratic leaders
did not know it until to-day, when a
strong club was organized at the State
capital The men who formed the new
club to-day are all what are known as
Salisbury Democrats, and all men of
wealth and influence. George A. Mill
ington, j. Alexander Fulton, Andrew
Slaughter and Robert Rawlcy, all large
land owners and influential party men,
are ON the list.

A. Mitchell, son of the previous witness,
gave testimony. He stated that IIick-
mans bargain was that $40 was to be
paid down and $40 at future time.
United States Marshal Mahaffy testified
to the facts of the arrest. On the way
from Millsboro Hickman told the wit
ness that he hahitually gave q receipt
for $40, and that anything else he re-
ceived would be present.
Daniel Burton, assistant collector of
internal revenue of Sussex, was asked
by Mr. Hickman whether he could not
go to the United States government
prosecutor and try to fix the matter up.
John w. Hickman, the defendant,
next took the stand.
At this moment Judge Ball entered
the court room and was invited by Judge
Wales to seat on the bench.
Hickman acknowledged that he had
received and reccipted for $40. As he
was leaving the house Mrs. Mitchells
son James came out as he was hitchlng
UP his horse and handed him a sum of
money. lie put it in his pocket and
then some miles from the house pulled
it out and found it 10 be $40.
Noah Downs knew Hickman since he

Benjamin Ii. Elliott has known him for
% years past. He is a justice of the
peace and has heard nothing bad of
Hickman. Pension Examiner X. T..
Fletcher judged from his investigations
that Hickman has an unreliable reputa-
ton.
District Attorney Cooper then ad-
dressed the jury and was followed by
Frank d. Carpenter, Esq. Mr.. Turner
spoke next and Mr.. Cooper closed argu-
ment. The, court gave the case to the
jury at Alb p. IN.
The jury in the Hickman case No. 1
returned TO the court room at 4.20 p. m.
after remaining out since 1.45 and with
out any dinner.
Judge Wales ordered the United
States marshal to supply the jury with
a good dinner and remarked as he told
them to go back to their room that they
would possibly agree under the influ.
ences Of good meal. The whole front
row Of iurymen made ominous shakes Of
the head clearly indicating their belief
in the unlikelihood of an agreement
They returned, however, for further de,
liberation, while the marshal went of
to Fullmer's to order dinner.
The jury in the second Hickman case
returned to the court room at 44t
o'clock with a verdict of guilty. Tho
foreman petitioned the court to be lenient
with the prisoner.
In sentencing the accused Judge
Wales said that on account of Hick
mans age and infrmity he would i'm
pose very light sentence upon him
The sentence was fine of 800 and
Imprisonment for six months at hare
labor. The prisoner was very much
affected, tears coursed down his checks
and his manner drew the sympathy q
! everyone.
The jury in the first Hickman case
which had already been six hours try
ing to come to an agreement, sent il
word to the court that there was no sigr
/ of their coming to a verdict They
stood as stated above, eight for &C
quittal and four for conviction. Judge
Wales sent for them and after listening
to the foreman's statement, discharged
the jury.

STREET RAILWAY VIEWS.
Transfers of Stock of the Wilmington
City Railway Company.

A considerable amount of the stock of
the Wilmington City Railway Company,
which has been held by Philadelphia
parties, has recently come into the hands
of Wilmngtonians Most of them We're
already stockholders and have simply
increased their holdings.
II is said that sufficient stock has
changed hands, to change the control of
the company, and il is also intimated
that the syndicate which has secured
control of the Front and Union street
line, is also interested in the recent
transfers of the Wilmington City Rail
way Company's stock. Although the
recently acquired holdings are sufficient
to change the control Of the compsny,
il is not believed that any change will
be made, not at present.
The last quarterly meeting of the
directors of the company was held on
Monday week Nothing but routine bust
ness was transacted. The company
desires 10 complete the branch on
du Pont street, connecting the Delaware
avenue and Eighth street lines as soon
as possible. II is needed for the relief
Of the Delaware avenue line. II is said
that meeting of the new syndicate
which controls the Front and Union
street line is to be held shortly fo1
organization, but one of the directors Of
the company said on Friday that he
had heard nothing of it.
1t is probable that the first extension
Of this line will be out Maryland
avenue. In order TO extend the lines
the Legislature will be asked soon tc
allow the company to increase its capital
of $4,000.
Franklin B. Cotton, who represent;
the syndicate is now member of the
board of directors. Other members 81
the syndicate are pr. Linton Smith, S
b. Smith and W. w. Pusey. 1t is alsc
stated that Frank Pyle and two resi-
dents Of Chester, John and William
Price, are interested.

words Of John L, Sullivan. to his friend
Blakeley ~ they parted recently in San
Francisco. sullivan's prophetic eye was
on the slayin. Kilrain contest and any
thing else Of Importance that may hap
pen in the pugilistic world by the time
he returns from Australia, where he
goes to do what he can to elevate the
stage. n
When Sullivan fights he wants to
meet the best man, barring his noble
sell, in the world. Up to date slavin is
his man, and sullivan's friends are
ready to back him for kings ransom
against the, Australian. The country
needs this mill and needs the victory
which our own Sullivan will surely win.
The. odious foreigner has torn our
flag from the hand of Kilrain and tram
pied it with him in the dust That So

cued and restored to its pristine pre-
eminence. We think Colonel Sullivan
can do it. At all events, "he kin if
anybody kin, !" and he is not only will

WHEELING, JUNE 30, 1891.
Mhnt Az rhird Pnrty Means.

Senator Carlisle, OF Kentucky, is frank
enough to say that the third party GER
tainly will not carry any Democratic
State, nor will it seriously epbarass the
Democratic party in any Democratic
State; If that party seriously affects the
result in any State it will be in the Re.
publican Northwest.
This is precisely what Republicans
have been trying to impress on the
minds of those other Republicans who
have been tempted.to join the so-called
Peoples party. Democratic politicians
have been hard at work on the third
party line, not because they are in sym
pathy with that organization, but be-
cause they look on it as club with
which to beat the life out Of the Repub-
lican party.
To help on this scheme very shrewd
efforts have been made in this State to
rope farmers into secret organizations
supposed to be devoted to their inter
ests. The Democratic managers fear
that the election of 1892 may take West
Virginia out Of their hands, and their
present plan Of campaign Is to divide
and hold fast to what they have.
The real political contest, is now, as it
has been, between the Republican party
and the Democratic party for the con-
troll Of the National Government. Far
mers and all others who are solicited to
take stock in side shows must under
stand that they really have no choice
except between the two great parties.
One or other OF these will elect the next
Fr.sident and the next Congress.

NEw York, June l9.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say:
While crop prospects continue remark
ably favorable, the volume OF business
at.present transacted is not as large as
it has been in other years at this time.
There is some hesitation owing to re-
ceipt OF failures, particularly in Phila-
dclphia. Credits have been more cav
tiously given in the wooden and boot
and shoe trade, and this has lessened
the Wldme of transactions. At Phila-
delphia the wool trade is waiting, hold
ers asking more than buyers wish to
give. Cleveland reports more demand
for pig iron. At Cincinnati trade is
picking up, and at Detroit increased in
some lines, Chicago notes wool re-
..ceipts double tlast years, with an in
l'crease 81 'onefhalf in wheat and, dressed
beef. St. Louis notes some change by
frequent rains
Trade is fairly active, with collections
good in the South. 1t is another hope
full indication that the demand for iron
and steel improved. For structural iron
there isp rpsh OF orders, though bar
.'if6ff is Only fairly active, bat plates IRE
in good demand. The stagnation pro-
duced in rails by the combination to
hold up prices is shown by the official
report that sales to June this year
were but 725,376 tons, against l,036000
to same date last year, and deliveries
but $4,000 tons, against $4,000 last

The wool market at New York shows

prospect that the yield will be the

WtrtvN WN'tNs
John o. Pendleton was here Monday
and opened his campaign for renomina-
ton. He abused the Republican party
and charged the administration with
wasting and squandering all the money
int the U. S. Treasury. OF course this
kind OF gable tickled the fancy ofsome
of his Democratic hearers. We heard a
prominent Democrat say that Pendleton
should serve part OF the term for which
he was elected in Congress before COM
mencing another canvas for renomina-
ton. Pendleton reminds us OF an anee-
dote we once heard of an Irishman that
came to this country and bought farm
composed Of timber land, and in the
spring Of the year his neighbors tapped
their sugar trees to make sugar. So the
Irishman, not to be behind his neigh
bors, commenced tapping his trees,
sugar, hickory, beech, oak and every
tree he came To-. One Of his neighbors
asked him what he was tapping SO
many trees for and he answered: "If I
like the business will follow it all the
year round" Pendleton likes the
business" and is following it the year
round" H.

The Orange Society Leader Escapes Being
isg Bi Sent to Prison.
NV YORK, June I9.-Ihere was a
large crowd in the court room at New
ark yesterday when Miss Lucy Card
ner, the Orange society belle, was called
up for sentence on a charge OF larceny
in stealipg goods sent to her by Stern
Bros, Of this city. When the case was
called and Miss Gardner advanced to
the bar to receive sentence, she was APP
parently the most collected person in
the room. She stood looking the judge
straight inithe. eye, without tremor Of
muscle, all the time he was address
ing her
The Judge said:
"a Jury Of this county has found you
guilty OF grand larceny, aud the court
has declined to set aside the verdict.
Nothing now remains but to pronounce
sentence! n The court has taken into
account llowmuch you have lost by this
trial, the disgrace and modification at
tending your friends, but all this law
cannot take into account. -.
"The court does not think 1t neces-
sary to condemn you to herd with Grim
inals or further ostracize you from soci-
ETY.. The court will therefore impose a
tine Of S10O and costs of prosecution.
You will stand committed until the
costs are paid"
AS soon as the sentence was pro-
pounced Counsel DAILY, on behalf OF Miss
Gardner, presented a writ OF error to re-
move the case to the Supreme Court OF
the State for review. He also presented
a bail bond in the sum OF $500, signed
by Miss Gardner and Richard Coync,
OF East Orange, providing that Miss
Gardner shall abide by the judgment of
the Supreme Court, and lift is against
her she shall pay the fine and costs. AS
soon as the application was made Miss
Gardner, her mother and her aunt left
the court room, followed by their fash
ionabiy attired friends.
The latter are jubilant over the re-
suit. But the sentence is not n light
one. The costs will footup nearly 500.
This, taken with the 500 fine and the
payment of the costly COUNSEL she en-
gagged, Judge DAILY, OF Jersey City, and
Edwin A. Pratt, Of New York, will
mulct her in nearly $1,000, even if she
gets off with that sum. Besides this
she will have to pay the expenses Of
the appeal! 1t is believed, however
that the fines will be paid and the case
ended before the appeal comes up.

would form chain that would reach

do reach that far, for people all over the
