His RIGHT NOT IMPAIRED
Argument Of Dupont's Disputed
Election to the Senate.
Claim Is Upheld on the Ground That IA
Certificate From Gov. Watson
Was Not Necessary.

Wilmington, Del, Dec. 10.-The argu-
nieDt prepared by Edward G. Bradford, ex-
Senator Anthony Higgins of this city and
Albert f. Paine of Washington, d. C.,
counsel for Col. Henry A Dupont, in sup
port OF his claim To a seat in the United
States Senate from Delaware has been
printed.
II covers nearly 90 pages. Some OF the
proposii ions set forth In the argumen, are:
1t is rule OF the common law that
no person shall exercise Two Incompatible
offices at the same time.
Under the American system, executive
and legislative offices are Incompatible,
and no person can exercise both stimuli
taneously without express or implied stat
utory or constitutional authority.
There is no express or implied author
iiy in the Delaware constitution for
the simultaneous exercise by the same
person OF the offices of governor and SEN
ator: on the contrary. the Constitution ex-
pressly inter,iicts such exercise of those
two offices, Ind, therefore. AT the, tine
WHEN Mr.. Dupont received fifteen vote
In the join, assembly Mr. Watson was in
capable, of exercising the office OF sena
tor, If he was at that time the governor OF
Delaware.
MIR. Watso w;Is al time governor OF Della
wrae and was. therefore, incapab BILE of ex-
ercising the office Of Senator or the office
Of Speaker OF the Senate.
MIR. Dupont. having received a ma iority
Of the legal votes east in the .oint as
sembly, his right TO the office of Senator
is not impaired by the fact that he fails
to present the certificate of Gov. Wat
son as evidence OF his election.

DRUG STORE OpENINa.-Last Sat
urday the new drug store on West
King street, in the Williams build
ing, was formally opened by the pro-
prietor, DR.. E. G. Williams. The
Doctor has been, with the exception
of The past two years in business in
the drug line here since 1870, and
consequently needs no introduction
to the people. He has most COM
petent assistant pharmacist in Mr..
VIM. S. Harper, who is also a drug
gist of many years experience. The
opening in spite of rainy weather
was most favorable, and though lit
tie business was expected to be done
that day the Doctor was more than
gratified with the result at the end
of the day. He dispensed free soda
to all corners, patrons or not, and
this was o drawing crowd. The
Doctor has issued his announcement
in invitation form, which shows es-
pecially what he intends TO do to
serve the public successfully.

ANOTHER RoBBERY.-On Sunday
night the store of Mckee & Kepling-
er, at Vanclevesville was entered
by unknown parties and robbed of a
large amount of goods. Nothing
was known of it until the store was
opened Monday morning, thus af-
fording the burglars plenty Of time
to make their escape from the place.
Several persons are suspected as
being the guilty parties, and a
thorough search has been instituted,
but as yet no one has been arrested.
This is the second time the store has
been robbed within a few months.
Besides these robberies several other
places at Vanclevesville have been
entered and robbed. 1t seems as if
all the thieves and burglars in this
section are making a special drive
at old Vanclevesville.- World.

days in trial Of DR.. VIM. E. Perry,
who was indicted for criminal as
sault upon Miss Rose j. Johnson,
and ended in bringing in verdict of
guilty. The defence occupied most
of its time with testimony to the eff
feet OF chloroform producing hallu-
cination when administered to q
nervous female. DR.. John D. Nico-
demus, Of Walkersville, Frederick
county, Nd, the former home of DR..
Perry, testified as to his experience
in chloroform producing delusions
in patients. Several other experts
testified to the same effect. DR..
Perry took the stand in his own be-
halt and denied all the material
parts OF Miss Johnson's testimony
but admitted he administered chloro-
form to her with her consent. He
said he gave her chloroform as was
his usual practice for violent head
aches and pains in the side, the all
ments of Miss johnson on that day

NOTES.

Brodie led the batting in the Car
Isle game on Monday.
Creque is coming up very much
in his batting average.
Lamon has been unable to play
for some time on account of sore
foot.
Bradley is getting his arm in fine
shape. There is no stronger player
on the nine.
Terrell, the new second baseman
is a good player. He is especially
strong at the bat.
Rainey never loses chance. His
catching of long flies "built him
right up in the Carlisle game.
Everson, the Carlisle pitcher, says
there is not a stronger fielding team
than Martinsburg in the G. V.
League.
We are more than satisfied with
Pitzer. His playing is at all time
steady and reliable, but he is strong.
est behiud the bat.
Brown, our pitcher, grows more
popular with each game. He is not
"Kicker," and the management did
a good thing in signing him.
Manager Thompson has had the
boys at almost constant practice and
we now feel that they have material
ly advanced in "stick work.
The World erred in giving Brad
ley an error. The play was too fast
and no error should have been charg-
ed up to him in the Carlisle game.
Young, it is safe to say, would
have had that fly that cost US the
game with Carlisle. He has much i'm
proved, and is one of our "steadies. y
Every player is expected to do
his level best at Berkeley Springs
today. We will be satisfied with
nothing less than score of 10 to
in our favor.
''Kid' Zimmerman has made more
phenomenal catches than any man
in the league. No matter where be
is put you may rely on him with ut
most confidence.
We would like to know who the
Jonah of the Martinsburg team is.
We have played winning ball all
along, but fur times have we
''slumped'' in the last two innings.
The Board of Control OF the Mar
tinsbutg club has increased its mem
bership by adding Hon. S. w. Walk
er, Col. j. c. Frazer, P. r. Harri-
son and e. w. VaDmetre, all of whom
are base ball enthusiasts, snd good
advisory members.
The harrisburg Base Ball Asso-
citation has been receiving all along
the highest praise for the courteous
treatment they have given visiting
clubs. In the game with Carlisle
especially were We congratulated
with the remark that on no grounds
in the league are the people so vel
behaved as at Martinsburg.
