POLITICAL GossrP.-Says the Mornino
Nea0S The news ofthe Peninsula during
the past week has been political People
In Kent and Sussex counties are talking of
candidates for governor. Joshua MaTvil
has declined to allow his name to be used
as Republican candidate and there is
| talk ofvarious other men both as candidates
for Congress and for governor. Probably
| the most-talked-of man on the Republican
| side is DR.. Hiram r. Burton of Lewes.
Among the others are John IL. Hoffecker
of Smyrna and Joseph Whitaker of Dover.
The Democrats have settled down to the
/ fact that Tunnel will be the candidate of
that party. Mr.. Bayard wants him, Mr.
| Salisbury wants him and all of the other
leaders want him, so that it matters little
what the rank and file of the party may
want. Mr.. Bayard has himself announced
| that about the middle of October he will be
/ at home. This confirms the story published
some time ago to that effect. Mr.. Marvil
since the above was put in type, consented
| to run.
| A CHURCH BURNED. - The Sanctiied
Church near Frankford, Del, was destroyed
by fire on Saturday night The origin of
| the fire is attributed to an incendiary. 1t
was fully insured. The peculiar belief of
the members of this denomination has
been regarded as scandalous by other
churches. Their matrimonial ties are
quite singular. They claim the Bible
| directs them to proclaim sanctifcatiOn
throughout the world, two by two, one
man and one woman. From that they
got to trading their wives, daughters and
| sisters. 1t is due to this fact. no doubt
that the church was burned. Services
were held every Sunday morning and
were conduct by member After preach
ing the seats were pulled to one side and
| all Joined in shouting. These exercises
were indulged in until men and women
dropped from sheer exhaustion. There is
only another church of this belief, and that
is on ChincOteague Island, Va. The
membership of the two churchs numbers
800.
