#. Eden Bach Gives DelAwarc's Electoral

diary Address.
The Republicans of the Third, Tenth,
Eleventh and Twelfth wards met Friday
evening in the Fell & Joseph building,
Front and Madison streets, and organized
q Harrison club. Charles Solloway of the
Tenth ward was chosen president and
Horace G. Rettew of the Third secretary.
After the appointment of various com
mittees Hugh c. Browne was introduced
and gave talk on city assessment figures.
He feared tina. the lists of the Third,
Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth are very
much padded. George A. Elliott enter
tanned the audience with incidents of the
recent Minneapolis convention.
II. Eden Bach promised his Republican
friends that Harrison will be elected. lie
asserted that Harrison is already guaran-
teed 2l4 votes. Mr.. Bach continued in his
explanation that but nine more electoral
votes are needed. He expects six from
Connecticut and three from Delaware,
These three will be assured by Whining
ton. He continued, 1.-The Republican
party has men who are willing TO shed
their blood so that every vote be counted
If they show the Democrats that they in
tend to do this there will be peaceful
election" Following this sanguinary
threat Mr.. Bach paid his usual personal
compliments to ex-Secretary Bayard anc
Senator Gray. The meeting then ad
journed.

Inc farmers around stanton and Mar
shallton are reported strongly opposed
to the action of the firm Of Chandler &
Dickey, proprietors of the Stanton
creamery. The latter find it necessary
to keep their creamery works gong on
Sunday. This the neighboring farmers
condemn as very wrong. Friday night
the creamery proprietors were before
Squire Richardson at Marshallton,
when the whole question was thor
oughly ventilated. The farmers were
present in large and influential num-
bers, but the squire did not see his way
to interfere with the creamery men, so
the case was dropped. Mr. Richardson
felt he had no jurisdiction in the matter,
and recommended the farmers, if they
thought they could substantiate their
case, to take 1t to the upper courts.

REPUBLIcaNs R1rIEY.


senator Higgins Praises Harrison.
The Republican ratification meeting,
Saturday night, was of fair proportions,
but very tame. About 1890 persons
were present at one time, but all the
applause came from the platform, the
audience being unusually spiritless.
Previous TO the meeting there was a
street parade by small delegations of the
Young Mems Republican Club, the
Fourth Ward lnvincibles and the Har-
rison and l3eidClub, about 200 altogether,
but they were notuniformed and carried
no torches. Fireworks were INDUCED

quarters and the windows OF Henry G..
Conrad's office, in the darkness Build
ing, Tenth and Market streets. At the
latter place badly-handled racket, III
stead of soaring skyward darted down
into the crowd on Market street and
created a stampede, although FORUM
ately no damage was done.
Contrary TO previous announcement
the stage--a handsome new one, brightly
illuminated by two arc lights--was
erected in Tenth street, close to the
curb, fronting the court house, and the
crowd swarmod all over the court house
green, TO the serious damage Of the
grass.
Mayor Wiley presided and promptly
introduced Senator Anthony Higgins.
The senator's reception was not at all
cordial, and as though to make up fol
his badtreatment of Harrison at
Minneapolis, he devoted all of his half
hours speech to a most fulsome lauda-

A bucket of Cologne Needed.

Numbers of citizens are complaining
especially during the recent warm
weather, Of the strong and unpleasant
aroma waited from the "odorless
wagons" as they pass up and down
Market street so frequently. "rThe
Board of HEALTH" exclaimed an indig-
nant citizen, holding his nose as the
filthy "odorless" procession numbered
slowly by, sought to prohibit them
from passing along Market street during
daylight, or else have them inspected
daily by an executive officer. Ii would
also be beneficial sanitary measure to
order the owners of the 'odorless
wagons to tie bucket Of cologne both
in front and behind each wagon"

j. III. CHAMBERS REINsrATED.
After u Hard legal Battle. as Guardian
of His Minor Child.

The lengthy contest in the orphans
court as to whether Joseph II. Chambers
shall be appointed guardian of his minor
child, Martha b. Chambers, was termi-
mated on Saturday in Judge Grubb's de-
The court said that Chambers is the
natural guardian and with him the child
is in her proper place. Evidence has dis
closed the fact that Chambers has brought
up family of five children in a creditable
manner, that they have been properly
educated and cared for.
On the other hand the opposition claims
the custody for young man, w. II. Will
son, whosis an unmarried man and without
such home as the father can give his
child. Samuel Chambers gave security in
$1,000 for his BROTHER Joseph, that the
child be educated and duly cared for.
An appeal was made from the decision.
The court will consider the question of
appeal.

In superior court on Saturday an inter
esting decision was handed down, relative
to the jurisdiction of the municipal court
in trying persons charged with the viola
| ton of the liquor law. The cases upon
which the law Yves tested were those of
| Andrew Casey, Lawrence Curran and
| James 4. O'Donnell VS.. the State. The
| plaintiffs were members of the Licensed
Liquor Dealers Association and were fined
by Judge Ball for violating the law. The
cases were afterwards carried to the
superior court on writ Of certiorari, in
order to test the jurisdiction of the court
below.
The legal questions involved were argued
| at the last term of the Superior Court by
| Henry G. Turner and IL. IL. Ward on be-
half of the defendants below City Solici-
tor Curtis represented the State. These
cases involved the right of the municipal
court to try and determine cases of viola
| tons OF the law by licensed liquor dealers
in this city.
The court on Saturday, through Judge
Cullen, rendered its decision in favor of
the plaintiffs below. The effect of this
decision is n denial of the municipal
courts jurisdiction to try such cases. The
decision is also of great importance to
every licensed liquor dealer in the city, as
hereafter all such dealers charged with
violations of the liquor law must be tried
in the court of general sessions on indict-
ments found by the grand jury and before
petit jury of this county.
The decision. however, does not touch
what are known as unlicensed dealers with
regard TO whom the jurisdiction of the
municipal court is complete.
In delivering the opinion of the court
Judge Cullen stated that the decision was
based on the determination of the case oil
Gray VS.. the State in IL. Harrington.
Benjamin Nields appeared before the
court and asked for a rule to show cause
why the judgment in the case of the State
VS.. James T. Richardson and Others
should not be reopened. The court dis
missed the rule
In the case of the appeal from the
decision of the register Of wills in the
McComb will case, the court dismissed
the appeal and sustained the ruling of the
register. The original will is not valid.
Before court adjourned George H. Bates
read a set of resolutions passed at a meet
ing of the bar of New Castle county some
time ago upon the death of the late Chan,
cellor Willard Salisbury, and asked that
they be spread upon the records of the
court, which was done after remarks
eulogistic Of the deceased by Chief Justice
Comegys, Judge Cullen, Mr.. Bates and
benjamin Nields, who seconded the mo
ton of Mr.. Bates.
Court then finally adjourned for the
term.
