Let the example Of his purpose and
generous effort make fairer parties
and better citizens.
The work Which, he accomplished
let no man try to undo. The recon-
ciliation which his eloquence
brought about let no man dare to
disturb. Let that hand wither
which seeks again to kindle the
fires of sectional strife that Grady
quenched. A reunited people shall
quickly avenge that insult to his
memory and smother with reproach
that incendiary effort
Gov. Hill concluded: A nation
in peace; broad land disturbed by
no civil dissensions, threatened by
no foreign enemy; a people united
and homogeneous, prosperous and
happy; no trace of conflict: no bitter
memory, no questioned loyalty; that
people rejoicing in the universal
spirit of fraternity, retaining only
the pleasant recollections Of the
past. harmoniously solving the pro.
blems of civilization, working out
together the grand destiny of a com
mon country-that people will ever
hold in grateful remembrance the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2l.
Secretary Foster left last night for
Ohio to remain until after the cleo
tions next month. Before leaving
the Treasury yesterday afternoon
the Secretary expresseda a strong be-
lief ia Republican success in Ohio.
"The majority of Maj. Mckinley
will be-" said he, sin my judgment,
somewhat above the normal Re-
publican majority of the State. 1t
will be between 10000 and 10000,
and it will be no surprise to me if
the figures are nearer 10000 than
10000. Of the 107 members OF
the legislature we ought to elect
sixty and of the Senate we will
elect probably twenty out of thirty
one. This, you see, will give us 9
good working majority in both
houses. The Democrats are making
a big fight to carry the Legislature
and to help along their fight art
circuls citing the stories heard here o
the rupture between Sherman ant
Foraker. There is no such fight IL
Ohio, and the only place it doe
exist is in the columns Of the Dem
ocratic press"

was thrown from the track. En-
gineer Emerson and the travelling
engineer of the road, who had gone
into the cab half an hour before,
were killed outright. A lady pas
senger was found pinioned under
the trucks of the sleeper. She had
evidently been hurled through
window by the crash. Her body
was crushed into an unrecognizable
mass.
Near her was a man and woman
both terribly mangled.
The train consisted of three Sleep
ers, two chair cars, one smoker, one
baggage and express, and two mail
cars. The sleepers were heavily
loaded, as were also the other cars.
Emerson, the engineer, was one of
the Oldest passenger engineers in
the country, and he had been on
this run for several months. The
train was speeding along at the
rate of 45 miles an hour when it
struck an open switch. The engine
dashed along on the spur track .or
a few yards when it turned over,
burying Emerson and the travel.

Yesterday was as fine day as
heart could wish and to be sure the
people enjoyed it. It was quite a
field day at the Exposition and
calmed the fears of every person
who possibly thought there would
be no more crowds, for every train
entering the city was full of people
and the rush to the grounds began
quite early. The trains from the
Hargett street station were not run
ming. The street cars prove more
popular, and yesterday they carried
a great many. There were no acci-
dents. Some of the trips were
a little slow, by reason of waits at
, switches.
There was fine gathering of
} people to hear Col. McClure's
speech. That observant gentleman
walked all over the grounds and as
usual kept eyes and ears open. He
is pleased with the Exposition, and

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal
NEWARK, May 30.-The meeting of the
board of trustees of Delaware College, held
here yesterday, was quite an important
one, inusmuch as some definite prellml-
nary arrangements were made with regard
to the new building which is to be erected
for the new department of mechanic arts.
1t will be recalled that the last Legislature
appropriated S25,0O0 for the erection of
this building, while the department which
IL is to contain will be supported BY the
government under the provisions of the
Morrill, bill, which appropriates annually
$4,000, with 81 600 additional each year
until the amount reaches S25, 900, when the
increase ceases. The first appropriation of
$4,000 has already been received, and the
second instalment of $l6,000l will soon be
due and available for the purchase of the
machinery and apparatus with which the
new building is TO be filed.
The morning session. was mainly occu-
pied with discussion Of the State APP
preparation in all its bearings. A rcsolu-
ton was passed authorizing the chairman,
Manl0ve Hayes to appoint committee of
nine members to secure plans and specifi-
cations for the new building at once.
IN the afternoon the chairman named
this committee: President Raub, chair
man, pr. l.. T., Bush, Manlove Hayes and
two from each county, namely, $. NJ.
Curtis John G. Higgins, John II. Sauls-
bury, Dr. George W. Marshall, Edward
Paynter and DIR. Hugh Martin. This com
mttec is eXpectcdto get TO work mt once to
select an architect plans, estimates and
site for the new building and to report at
the next Meeting in June.
With regard to the location of the
building there was great diversity of opin-
ion but the most favored site for il seemed
to be the east side Of the campus between
the experimental station and the street
The building will likely be of brick and
about $50 by 50 feet in dimensions 1t is
