Democratic primary elections were
held throughout New Castle county,
Saturday afternoon, the day set apart
by the party rules, for the nomination
Of legislative and local candidates.
In this city Victor B. Woolley was
nominated for Representative in the
General Assembly, easily defeating
Thomas r. Mechem and Clayton Harri-
son. The latter was second in the race,
and made surprisingly good run, con.
sidering the fact that his candidacy had
not been formally announced and many
people did not know he was in the field.
The interesting city contests were
those for the nominations for assessor in
the First and Second districts of Will
mington. In the First the candidates
were John J.O' Hara, entincumbent,
James d. Mccoy and James t. Byrne.
Mccoy was an easy winner. He is a
blacksmith employed at the Pullman
car works and resides in the Eighth
ward. In the Second district, Michael
L. Conway, the present incumbent, was
defeated by james Il. Farley of the
Twelfth ward. The returns of the city
contests are as follows:

"EIoise" Well Received.

"Eloise," the new song by Messrs.
Carpenter and Kerr of this city, was
sung by the tenor of Primrose & West
minstrels, Saturday night, and met with
a very tiattering reception. The singer
was naturally handicapped by the fact
that he had not seen the song until
Saturday, and was compelled to sing
from the score, Notwithstanding which
he made out exceedingly well. Gilbert
Castle, the baritone singer of the COM
pany, was very much impressed with
the beauty of "Eloise," and Immediately
commissioned Messrs. Kerr and Car
penter to write him a new song which
he desires to sing throughout the entire
season of seven months. They have
accepted the commission and the song
will probably be issued within the next
two weeks.

THE TEL EGRAM EENT AsTRAR.

Addicls Sent His Congratulations to
Handy, but Some One Blundered and
tho Dispatch Was Not Delivered.
When j. Edward Addicks heard the
returns from Brandywine hundred
Saturday night and learned that Robert j.
Handy, his chief lieutenant in Delaware,
had won the Republican nomination for
Representative from Brandywine hands
down, he sat right down and wrote the
following telegram
Robert J. HanbU Practical Farmer :
'Seventy-tive majority. congratulate you
on your Overwhelming victory"
Either the operator who sent the dis.
patch or the man who received it in this
city probably blundered, and the result
was it never reached its destination.
The message was sent to the restaurant
of A. l.. Ainscow, No. 802 Market
street, about 1918 O'Clock, Saturday
night and delivered to Samuel Hambly,
who is employed by A. l.. Ainscow d
Co. When the dispatch reached the
restaurant it had been twisted into this
shape:
Robert j. Handy, Care Col. Ainscow.
Seventy-live majority Practical Farmer. |
congratulate you on your overwhelming
majority.
The dispatch came by Western Union
and where the bull was perpetrated is
not known. 1t should have been sent to
the Practical Farmer, where the Addicks
boss had his headquarters.

all night, and found the store flooded.
The break had occurred near joint
in the waste pipe foot or 50 above the
floor of the fourth story. On this tlool
hole was convenient outlet for the
water to the floors below. After the
flooding was known word was sent tc
the clerks and in the afternoon they
were busy putting wet garments up Il
dry. Twenty-Five buckets of .walei
were taken from the third floor.
The water dr!pped from the thirt
floor into the custom department on thu
second and'through the floor and ceiling
| again into the salesroom on the frs
floor. The desk in the rear of the stor,
received its share of the water its con
tents being wet.

What n Feheral Office holder Heard Ono
Night While on Visit TO Atlantic City.
"Speaking about street fakirs," said
man who holds q Federal position TO a
newspaper man the other evening, ~
was down at Atlantic City year ago
and came across one of these fellows
who had evidently been unsuccessful in
pulling the legs of people at the shore,
and was complaining Of his i'll luck. l
was making my way to the hotel. 1t
was late in the evening. | paid little
heed to the fakir, and would have
passed HIM almost unnoticed but for
the fact that he said something just as l
drew near which attracted my attention.
Gentlemen, said he, you evidently
don't appreciate the real merit of these
goods or you would buy them like hot
cakes. You will regret it, assure you.
Why, if was in the little town Of Will
mington, Del, l would sell all 1 got
here in no time, It's the best town in
the country for men in my business
Well was so mad at the fellow" said
the Federal employe, that l could have
resented the libel right then and there,
by giving him the soundest thrashing
he ever had in his life, but of course l
did not care to make my identity known
after this. But isn't it d-d funny,
though. There's the biggest kind of u
colossal fraud right over there on that
corner tonight, and he seems to be
doing successful taking business, too.

strike him. The body was picked up
by the train crew and brought to the
hospital room at the station, and after.
wards removed to the morgue.
