INJUNcTIoNs AGAINST FISH OIL FACT
oRIEs.-United States District Attorney
Beniah Watson has filled bills in the /
United States Circuit Court asking for |
injunctions preventing S. S. Brown & Co., |
and Luce &Bro. from manufacturing fish |
oil at Lewes. The claim is that the con-
Germs are a nuisance and that the stencil is |
so great about the United States Quaran- |
tine Station, near by, as to unfit it for the |
purposes intended. For some time some of |
the people of Lewes have been trying to
get rid of the factories, but so far in all con-
tests the factories have won.
Out of total poll, of9OS5 votes at the Re-
publican primaries Saturday, Paul Gillis,
the Higgins candidate for Sheriff, received
1868, or within $50 of a clear majority of
the vote. And while the vote cast for
William r. Finn (2262) was antagOnistic
to Higgins, it is not unnatural to assume
that many of those who voted for Rettew,
Taylor and GoOdley, the other three can
didates, are friendly to the Senator, which
gives assurance that when it comes to the
decisive test at the Legislative primaries,
later in the year, there will be no doubt
that candidates favorable to the return of
Senator Higgins. One result of the con-
test is the utter defeat of j. Edward Ad-
dicks Senatorial aspirations.
LAsHED THIEF WITH A WHIP.-At-
tracted by the sight of pair of boots pro-
truding from under table on the second
| floor of George II. Halls store in Mil
ford, late Saturday night, clerk gave
an alarm which brought Mr.. Hall to the
place. There was man in the boats, and
| the intruder proved to be John Hillman,
young man of the town, who had been re-
/ garded with suspicion. Mr. Hall procured
a carriage whip and gave Hillman terrific
| lashing, which, the young man accepted
| without word for several minutes. Then
his coat was torn from his back, and the
castigation continued until Halls arm was
tired, when Hillman was kicked and
| lashed into the street.
| Hall gave him 60 minutes in which to leave
town, but he departed at once, driving to
Harrington and taking passage on the
north-bound Norfolk express.
GILLIs FOR SHERIFF ANB STIDHAM FOR
| CORoNER.-The primary election held by
the Republicans of New Castle county on
Saturday resulted in the nomination of
Paul Glllis as the party candidates sheriff
and Eminent f. Stidham as the party
candidates for coroner. Both of the can
didates were chosen by substantial plurali-
| ties of the total votes cast. The fact that
there were ten candidates for coroner
accounts for the difference in the pluralities
received. In Wilmington the total vote
cast for the candidates for sheriff was 5785,
and in the county districts 1906, making a
total vote in the whole cOuntp Of909l. Mr..
Gillis's plurality was 2l59- For coroner

the county 3205, making for the entire
county 9180. Mr.. Sti1nam's plurality was
