AFTER LEGISLATIVE PLUMS
Those Who Seek the Sweets
of Political Office.
LONG POLES FOR PERSlMMONS
Prospects of the Aspirants
for the Places.


GAN the world loves lover" so the old
saving goes, and so all the politicians. and
ali the world besides, are intensely inter
ested in the question of who OF those who
love the ripe persimmon and want to get
the bigger plums now ready at the gift OF
the new Republican state administration.
Under the organization of the House OF
Representatives there are at disposal. two
big plums-those of Speaker and of clerk.
For Speaker the following names are mem
toned; Charles L. Moore, the Georgetown
lawyer; from this city Frederic Pyle; and
from the county, Francis NJ. Walker.
1t is urged, however. that Mr.. Pyle
will have SO much city legislation on, his
hands that he will be constantly needed on
the floor. So that il the choice comes to
this county it will be Mr.. Walker.
From Sussex, where the candidates are
so anxious after truly good paying posi-
tions, it is said that the concession of
Speaker will be made to this county II
Sussex can get the cerkship. This would
make Candidate Walker apparently SO
much the stronger for Speaker. The
Sussex nominee tor clerk is most likely to
be Joseph H. Cahall, prominent young
LAWYER of Georgetown. Another candidate
mentioned is Mr.. Register. from Lewes,
whose chances are considered slim.
A New Castle candidate for the Office is
heard Of in the person of Thomas Latto-
mus of Townsend.
FOR sERGEANT-AT-ARMs.
So far as heard the aspirants for the
Office of sergeant alarms are both from
| this county. They are Walter Besant of
Btiddletown and John G. King of New
| Castle.
| THE DEMOCRATIC SENATE.
For the honors in the Democratic Senate
| two men are spoken of for the speaker
ship-Colonel William L. Records of
Laurel and Senator William I. Watson OF
Milford.
additional importance is attached to
| this position. because in the event Of the
death of Governor Maryil within the next
| two years the Speaker of the Senate will
| be the governor for the unexpred term.
| In Watson's favor It is urged that the last
Speaker, Houston, was Sussex man. and
before that Donohoe, u New Castle county
man. So that it is now kents turn fol
the position, and Kent is Wats0n's home.
FOR CLERK OF THE SENATE.
The candidates mentioned for clerk Of
the Senate are j.. r. Cochran, Jr., Of
Middletown and A. Il. Polk of George
town, both young lawyers. There is also
some indefinite talk OF Robert Y. Waller
of Clayton, Kent county, for the position
In this matter Cochran has the best geo
graphical claim. There has been no New
Castle clerk since Abraham Nandegrift, a
the session Of 1883.

Safely Locked Up--He Admits His Gull

Cooper, the Murderer st MaBSho 1it''
Safely Locked Up.-He Admits His Guilt.
EIKToN, Mp, Dec. 2.-Horace Cooper,
colored. charged with the murder OF
Maggie Pitt, near Port Deposit, is safe be-
hind the bars in Elkton jail
Deputy Sheriff Harvey II. Mackey ar
rived in Ekton With mis- prisoner Saturday
morning. Mackey has been OH the look
out for Cooper ever since the woman was
killed. Yesterday morning the deputy
sheriff was notified by Lemuel Jones, col
ored, at Cokesbury. to come to see him;
Mackey went to the house of Jones and
was shown a letter postmarked at
Columbia, Pa, and signed by Charles
Henry Clark. Jones stated to Mackey
that he did not know any person by that
name and recognized the handwriting as
Cooper's. -,
The deputy sheriff. in company with
States Attorney Austin L. Crother, started
| late Friday afternoon for Columbia in
search of Cooper. They placed the matter
| in the hands of Chief Of Police Witticks,
who, with officer Campbell arrested the
accused about 3 O'Clock in the evening. AS
he consented to 60 back to Maryland with
out requisition he was handed over to
Deputy Sheriff Mackey.
| Cooper made no resistance when ar
rested. He told Mackey that he had been
looking for him ever since the shooting.
He was surprised to hear that the girl was
dead; and did not know it until informed
| of the fact by Mackey. He does not deny
the shooting, and says jealousy was the
cause. He says he wanted to marry her,
but as she refused him he made up his
mind TO kill her. He says the stories thai
he had been hiding in Elk Neck are all
false, and that he had been in Columbi;
ever since the shooting.
Cooper is very tall negro, and has thu
appearance of being desperate character
Ii is probable that he will be tried at thu
December term of court, which meets OIL
the third Monday of this month.

THE ARMSTRONG; MEMORIAL.
Beautiful Stained Glass Window at Trinity
Church Sunday.

Church Sunday.
The Armstrong memorial window in
Trinity Church was unveiled Sunday last.
From an artistic point of view the work is
one of great Importance, as IT was designed
by that clever ecclesiastical artist, Fred
erick Wilson, one of the corps of artists in
the employ of the Tiffany Glass and Deco
rating Co. of New York, who are the
makers of this memorial. 1t represents
that most interesting scene described in
the gospel according to st. Luke, as fol-
lows:
Uhnd thore were in the same country shop
herds abiding in the field. keeping watch over
their flocks by night And, 10, the angel Of the
Lord came upon them, aud tho glory OF the
Lord shone round about them; and they were
sore afraid. And the angel said unto them,
fear not: for, behold, bring you tt1ings OF
great Joy, which shall be to all people. For
unto you Ia born this day in the city Of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord
This beautiful scene has been most
charmingly rendered i'll glass. The atti-
| tude of the shepherds expresses both sur
prise and devotion. The angel is ma
iestic and well-poised figure, floating in
mid-aIr and carrying into the darkness OF
| the night the light of heaven. Accom-
panying it are number of cherubs whose
| little heads are seen between the breaks in
the clouds, and are sweetly painted. Even
| the sheep in the foreground are impressed
with the celestial presence. They bring TIC
| the mind of the spectator the thought OF
| that Lamb of tod who suffered for the
| sins of the world. Upon the window the
| following memorial inscription is in
| scribed "To the Glory of God and in
loving memory OF George ID. Armstrong
| for some years warden and yestrymaf
of this parish. Departed this life March
Sth, A. D., 1891, 4i1t. II years.
The glass used i'll this window is largely
that which has created so much sensation
in the art world of late and is known a
"riffany Favrile Glass; an invention o
Louis G. Tiffany, which is made under TIN
formula after which this new material i
manufactured.
Its advantages over other glass; it is said
are that in it far deeper tones can be oh
tanned, greater brilliancy, and create
variety of color, and also combination o
color, together with strength and tough
ness of the glass itself. So much atten
ton has this new material attracted tina
the various industrial museums of Europ
have bought examples to be placed in thei
exhibits and the inventor has been made
member of the Rationale Societie de
| BeauX Arts.
The congregation is to be congratulate
that the church is made more and NOR
beautiful from time to time by the erectio
OF works of art like this last memorial
and it is to be hoped that other members c
the congregation will see tit to memori2
their friends by other windows. Should tn
take place, Trinity Church will becom
not only the pride of its own people, hl
also of every art-loving citizen of Wi
mington.
