ALBERT TH4TCREk's INQUIRY.
Who Are the Surviving Democrats OF
the County Convention of 1884?

Who Are the Surviving Democrats OF
the County Convention of 1884?
Editor The Gazette! | am anxious
TO know how many Democrats there are
now left who were q years old in 1854
and who left Hemphill's wharf, below
King street, in the steamer Esmera!da
that carried the Democrats, and there
were not few, to the county conyen-
ton, held at the Black Bear Tavern,
beyond New Castle.
Leaving the steamer at New Castle
the party went by the Frenchtown rail-
road 10 the Black Bear tavern for the
purpose of making up the county ticket
in the way it was done in those days.
When the ticket was completed the
people came back in the cars to New
Castle. The big crowd of Democrats
filled them full all inside and out.
The cars were very different then
from what they are now. They were
four wheel coaches with doorway at
the side, and held about IL people
seated. There was platform running
around the coach to enable the conduc-
tor to pass along and collect fares. The
road had been built, / think, but IL
months or so.
know there is one.left of that crowd
of Democrats and that is myself. |
would like to know how many more OF
the brethren of those days are left.
The old Wings used to accuse the
Democrats of getting drunk. But can
say tnat this time they came home sober
and behaved like gentlemen.

SAN Francisco, CAL, Aug. 10.-The
Examiner says General Superintendent
Fillmore of the Southern Pacific rail
road was asked yesterday whether the
company is preventing members of rail-
way unions who engaged in the strike
from getting employment Of any kind.
Mr.. Fillmore said eve have no use for
these men in any way"
Suppose the strikers should obtain
other employment, would your COM
pany so out of its way to have them
discharged ~ was asked.
"Yes,n answered Mr.. Fillmore. "If l
know that man was not true to his
company and if | find out that he has
got o job anywhere, | will pursue him
and use my best efforts to get him dis
charged. These fellows who kill our
engines, destroy our property and MUIR
der our employees shall never earn bread
and butter in California if l can help it.
Those men who did not take any active
part in the strike l have no bitter feel
ings against. When we need their help
we will hire them again, for we do not
consider they are altogether to blame,
but for those who led the strikers we
have no such consideration. / have no
use for fellows of that kind and do not
intend that they shall make living as
long as they are within my reach"

streets, in company of Father de Ruyter
and the sisters in charge, Thursday,
drove to St. James Protcctory, Della
ware City. Passing through New Castle
halt was made at Father Brady's resi-
dence. The gracious hospice treated the
boys to all kinds of soft drinks and
cakes. Arriving at Delaware City the
colored boys were soon ushered into the
orchard by the white orphans and
though they did not spare the fruit their
appetite was not much lessened. After
frugal meal the event of the day took
place, game of baseball, by the white
and colored mines, in skill and succes IS
not inferior to that played lately by the
lawyers and bankers. The score stood
II to 81 in favor of the colored orphan
boys. To soften the defeat the colorej
lads invited the whites to generous
treat of ice cream. Leaving st. james,
Protectory at p. M, amid singing and
cheering, they returned nome at $50 p.
m, and soon fell asleep in their airy
dormitories.

raE rowSsnsD MUnDBR CASE.

-
Young Chambers Ordered Held by the
Coroner's Jury ON the Charge OF shoot
ing Charles Brown.
Under orders from Deputy Attorney
General Branch II. Giles given THURSDAY
Deputy Coroner Luther w. Palmer lett
for Townsend that day to hold an inquest
over the remains of Charles Brown,
colored, grandson of farmer Brinkley
who was shot at that place by the
colored boy, Chambers, last Saturday
week.
Under direction of the attorney-gen-
eral State Detective Bernard McVey
obtained an order from the Chief Justice
to take possession of Chambers and
bring him to Townsend, in order to be
present at the inquest.
1t seems that the body was inferred
| without permit
The story is that Mrs Brinkley, the
dead boys grandmother, heard the shot
and the lads cry. She hurried out to
the stable anG saw Chambers running
off to the woods. Later he came back
and Mrs Brinkley locked him up in
the meat house.
Constable Duhadway of Townsend
made the arrest and brought the pris.
cner before Squire Naudain, who held
him in 50 bail. The lad was taken to
New Castle Jail.
The developments in the investigation
by the coroner's Jury at Townsend last
Friday revealed no new features. To all
appearances the CHARGES against the
colored lad George Chambers of delib
erately shooting Charles Brown on Sat
urday week, were fully substantiated by
the testimony given Friday.
Deputy Coroner Luther w. Palmer
held the inquest. He empaneled jury
of which Chairman Scott of the Levy
Court was foreman Those who testified
included William Brinkley, colored, the
grandfather of the dead boy, Mrs
Brinkley, his wife, and the physicians
Drs. Walker, Enos and Ferguson. TIL,
first work done was to eXhume the body
in order that the jury might view it ant
the medical men make the post morten
examination.
State Detective McVey was present
having Chambers in charge, who wa
taken from this city on Friday L
Townsend. Chambers is but ID year
of age while his victim, Brown, was Blu
years old.
Mrs. Brinkley's testimony, as well o
that of her husband. differed In no de
gree from what has already been toll,
except in the direction of more EN-
phatically placing the charge of de
liberste crime against the prisoner. TIL
testimony of the physicians was to tn
effect that they found bullet in tn
abdominal cavity of the dead boy, an
that death is due to peritonitis, the re
suit of the gunshot wound.
The jury rendered a verdict tina
} Brown came to his death by gunshc
wound in the abdomen, inflicted at th
hand of Chambers, and ordered that tn
latter be held to await the action Of til
grand jury.

turned from pleasant fishing expedi-

Readings Councils Are Now "a Tie and
Republican schemes Are Balked.

READING, Pa, Aug. 9.-After fight
ing for 80 months, William Abbott
Whitman, the ex-base-ball manager of
this city, has secured seat in Select
Council, ousting Charles II. Ramsay.
The latter is Republican, who repre-
sented the Thirteenth ward in that
branch of the city's government since the
spring of 1892. Before Ramsay took his
seat Whitman appealed to the court for
recount. The master in the case, II.
A. Muhlenberg, tonight threw out nine
votes for Ramsay and three for Wit
man. Ramsay's apparent majority was
five, but this changes the result to one
majority for Whitman. AS consequence
the Democrats will now have majority
of three in Select Council. The Republic
cans having the same strength in Conn
mon Councils, it will be tie, and this
will prevent the Republicans from
carrying out their plan of electing a
city clerk and city solicitor next year.
Whitman will have year and half to

From where, afar the palm. blest isles
Are lovelier for her splendid smilesl

She sent me in lonely hour
And sometimes. when my lonely soul
Heareth in dark Gods thunders roll, u

If Gods dark storms break over her.
And il they do, know my breast
Would bear them all to give her rest.
But no, the fragrant orange-blooms
Watt through her life their sweet perfumes
And the tall ships, with wind-blow sails
Bring to her songs of nightingnles,
Yet, do they still, where'er they be,
Sing to her one last song of me
