Deeply moved by the sad condition
OF affairs in and about the Island of

all people who are suffering from such
horrors as always attend a state Of war.
"Deploring also the SORROWS and dis
tress that must ensue in Cuba and
Spain, OF in any land as the inevitable
result of war
And believing that the States OF
the American Union ought to exhibit
to the world higher and purer system
OF government than that Of force and
bloodshed, and that the true way of
peace among nations, as with individ-
uals, is to study the things that make
for peace, and that the time has fully
come to demonstrate, on the widest
fields, tho efficacy of pacific methods for
the removal of wars, and for the adj
lustment of all commercial and national
disputes and differences, without vio-
lence or damages
Therefore, We, citizens Of Delaware.
in public meeting assembled, in the
city of Wilmington, do most earnestly
beseech the Congress of the United
States to inaugurate peaceful measures
and send ambassadors of peace to those
now engaged in bloody warfare in, and
with reference to the Island of Cuba
10 use their utmost endeavors, backed
by the sanction of this government and
seconded, if need be, by the current
conciliatory Offices of other Christian
nations, to compose by peaceful con
sultatlon and arbitrament the existing
dispute.
To this end we propose: An imme-
diate suspension of the hostile move.
ments, the appointment of peace com
mlssioners by both the contending par
ties, a completely peaceful conference
OF the commissioners so appointed at
some mutually suitable place in the
presence of the ambassadors appointed
by you, with view to the end above
recited.
This mode of settling contentious
as herein outlined, is hereby declared
to be our choice for all disputants who
are in danger of resorting, or who have
resorted TO violence, and we earnestly
recommend to our national authorities
to adopt it in every instance, for the
settlement of national disputes, and
your petitioners will thus ever pray. p

STRAY BDLlsE


IL Crashed Through Daniel James Office
window and Lodged In His Check Book.
About 10. 30 o'clock Thursday morn
ing someone who had presumably been
practicing with revolver sent a bullet
through the office window Of Daniel
James, on Shipley street, few doors
above Fifth. Had Mr.. James been sit
ting in his chair, as he usually is at
that hour, he would probably have
been injured. The bullet crashed
through a door in the desk and lodged
in the stub end of Mr. james, check
book. just how it came to pass so di-
rrectly through the window and over
the desk can only be imagined. From
The appearance Of the hole it made it
is apparent that it came from an ele-
waited position not very far distant.
An investigation failed to throw any
light upon the shooting, but Mr.. James
wishes il distinctly understood that he
is unwilling for his check book or any
thing else in his office to be used as
target whether he happens to be in or
not 1t was very fortunate thing that
he was not at his desk at the time.

THE uSKSomS vICriM.

Papers in His Clothes Indicate That His
Name Ia Charles Claus, and That He
Came From Germany-Buriedi in Potter's
Field.
The man who was found drowned at
Port Penn on Wednesday is thought to
have been Charles Claus of Smithfield,
Pa. Nobody appeared and the coroner
has not received any word concerning
him, but letters found in his clothing
and tax receipt signed by Collector
M. G. Cortright of Smithfield are
made cut in the name Of Charles
CLAUSE The receipt, which ia dated
November 18th, 1892, is for sl.97. 1t
is thought that he has friends or rela-
tives living in Germany. A letter
which was found was addressed to
Gustav Kreutle, No. 3 Market street,
Lubingen, Germany, and it is sup
posed that Kreutle is either a relative
or friend. Other papers and books
found on the clothing would indicate
that Claus was literary man. He
had a great quantity of manuscript,
presumably for publication in books.
Everything was in German except the
tax receipt.
Deputy Coroner Chandler went to
Port Penn Thursday and investigated
the case. He was unable to learn
anything beyond the fact that re-
Gently German, who was supposed
to be demented, was seen wandering
about the town, and he has since dis
appeared. 1t is presumed that the
stranger was Claus, but nobody in the
| town seemed to know anything about
him. The prevailing impression is
that he wandered along the river bank
and was accidentally drowned, but il
is possible he may have met death in
some other way and been thrown into
the river afierward. There were no
indications of violence on the body.
A jury, which was ompaueled by the
deputy coroner, rendered verdict to
the effect that death resulted from
causes unknown to the jurymen. The
remains were afterward removed to
Farnhurst and buried in tho Pottcr's
| field.
