On behalf of Ira Burpee, the boy who lost
his feet through the pouring of hot water
into his boots when they were nearly or
quite frozen, Walter Mcbride, of Corunna,
has commenced suit for $4,000 damages
against Mrs. Ursula Burpee, who was tried
on charge of doing great bodily harm to the
boy, the prosecutor failing to convict. The
boy is entitled to something from the woman
but as no amount can pay for the loss of
his feet, 1t Is just a question of how much
the woman can pay. A farm formerly in
her name was decided to her son after the
criminal charge was brought against her.

in this opinion. The great moral OF
the Delaware muddle would seem &c
be that senatorial elections should be
popular. Yet Chancellor Wolcott told
me he favored the present system OF
elections by the legislatures. Gov. Wat
son said the same thing. So did the
state auditor, DR.. Louis, and all the
members of the legislature.
What do you suppose the senate of
the United States viii do?" l asked Mr.
Addicks.
well, there has been no election, y
he replied. Il see they have been say
ing Mr.. Dupont has case. since he re-
ceived fifteen votes out of thirty. That
is no election. l suppose the governor
will appoint a man, yet it seems he
can't do that because he is not the real
governor. Now, my opinion is, that the
vacancy will be declared to exist, and
we must all wait two years"
So much for Addicks' view Of It.
But the governor, meanwhile, had
been looking up the law. i repaired TO
the state house and found him i'm
mersed in LOCALITIES.
The action of the presiding officer Of
the house in declaring Dupont elected, f"
he said, sis absurd. tie is no more
senator than you are. Where will he
get his commission? AL he can do j.
go TO Washington and say he got IF
teen votes"
The most eager speculation is now In
dulged IN concerning the governors
appointee- Meantime the Washington
end Of the controversy is being well
handled. 1t was said in Dover. on the
last day or the balloting, that Gov.
Watson had been communicated with
