MONEY WAS THE CAUSE.
Opinion of Ex-Governor Stocltley as to Il
Cause of the Republican Victory

Opinion of Ex-Governor Stockley as to the
Cause of the Republican Victory in
Sussex.
Special correspondence OF Gazette and journal
GEORGETOWN, Nov. 10.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Charles G. Stockley, when asked
by representative of The GAZETTE
this morning to what he attributed
Democratic defeat in Sussex county,
replied:
'There is only one thing to attribute
it to, and that one thing is money.
There was between $55,000 and $60,o00
sent here by the Republican party to
purchase votes, and it was all used.
"The dull times brought about by Re-
publican legislation and for which the
Democratic party shouldered the blame
made the work of the Republicans in
buying up votes the more easy. Aud
hundreds of Democrats not only sold
out the party but sold themselves. They
secured almost any price they asked fol
their votes, and many got $l25i $l0C
was the usual price.
1.-THE idea of Delaware going Repub'
lican is preposterous, and l do not have
the least doubt that two years from now
Sussex county will give her usual Demo
cratic majority. 1t is here and will be
forthcoming"

LEE YUEN,s CASE A TEST.

Upon it Will Depend Whether 5000
Cinnamon May Remain in New York
City.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The case of Lee
Yuen, the alleged Chinese merchant
who is held here for entering the United
States by way of Burlington, VT, in
violation of the Chinese exclusion act,
who submitted to-day to Commissioner
Shields after arguments by ex-Judge
Curtis and United States District Attor-
ney Wallace MacFarlane.
The case is likely to be carried as far
as the United States Supreme Court, as
upon its determination will depend
whether 5000 Chinese in this city can
remain.

The young lady had not taken the
precaution to extinguish the flame i'll
The pipe beneath, and was in the act of
rehllng the tank from the gasolene can,
when there was sudden ignition and
explosion. The burning oil floated
over the floor and in Miss Harman's
efforts to extinguish them her dress
caught fire.
In terrible fright she rushed to the
front door a mass of flames. Hell
mother caught her in time and dashing
her on the floor managed to eXtinguish
some of the flames. Her younger
brother threw his coat over her and il

Miss Hartman is horribly burned from
the waist down, every part of her beinE
affected by the blaze to greater oil
lesser extent. Dir. Fahey, who was i'm

TWO FoUND UNCONSCIOUS.


Asphyxiated by the Coal Gas From an
Open stove in their Bedroom.
At o'clock a. m. Thursday Miss II. VI
Wolcott and Miss Emma Strauss were
found unconscious in their bedroom at No.
7lS King street.
As Miss Wolcott and Miss Strauss had
not appeared at their usual time Mrs
White, the owner of the house, went to
their room. She found Miss Wolcott lying
on the floor and Miss Strauss on bed both
unconscious. The strong smell Of coal
gas and the stove with its door wide open
Immediately suggested cause for what
existed.
DR.. Kittinger was sent for. He quickly
ascertained that Mrs. Whites surmises
were correct. The two young ladies were
affected by the escape of coal gas from the
stove, the door of which had been left
| open all night.
The physician had his two patients
taken to the open air when after an hours
| hard work they were both restored to con-
seriousness. They are still in u very pre-
carious condition. The incident again
| illustrates the necessity of closing stove
doors in bedrooms before retiring to rest

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY.
The Organization Anxious to Increase 1t;
Membership.

An effort is being made by the mem
bers of the Delaware Natural History
Society to increase its membership. 1t
was suggested at the meeting held Mon
day night week that small fee would be
means of greatly increasing the mem
bership which would not only add to
the prosperity of the organization, but
the collection, as we'll. 1t is thought
that an annual fee of 81 instead of So
would cause many persons to join the
organization. The experience of other
similar societies in charging nominal
fee has worked well and it is thought il
would have the same effect upon the
Wilmington society.

Because Col. Jim Struthers Tells This
Bear Yarn.

Bear Yarn.
Montana is a geological garden in its
native state" said Col. Jim Struthers to a
Star man last night at the Arlington. 1--WE
have all kinds of wild beasts from grizzly
bears and prairie dogs down. Speaking of
bears, reminds me of once upon a time 1t
was before the state got polluted by the
trolley, and when it wasn't good form to
wear collar. 1t was before Montana got
to be the greatest state in the Union. L
was prospecting away in the Bull noun
tains. l hadn't seen any dirt that looked
as though 1t had the right ring to it. The
sun was turning in and shadows were COM
ing out OF the east. i took the pack off
one OF my horses. picketed the animals
and made supper of hot coffee and bacon
and bread. Then / coiled up in a blanket
and knew no more. The night must have
been half spent. when began to dream that
was washing my face in one of the geysers
so realistic that ! awoke. A hot breath was
breathing on my visage. and a strange
tongue was swabbing me down 1 was
sort of dazed with fear, and remained per
fectly still. Presently the licking process
ceased and the hot breath was wfthdra an
big, dark. awkward something shambled
on. and L sank to rest once more when
day came L found that my provision box
had been raided and the soft earth around
me was full of bear tracks / shivered a
little bit, and moved on The colonel told
this as though he really wanted TO be be-
heved, and the reporter left.
