The Governor of Delaware is dead. He
died at his residence in Laurel OH Monday
evening, April Sth, at 915 o'clock, of q
complication of diseases-heart trou BILE,
dropsy and erysipelas. A State is in mourn
ing that an administration giving SO much
promise of reform is cut prematurely short
Governor Marvil was born in Little Creek
hundred, Sussex county, September Sd,
1926 His family have been residents OF
the State for over hundred years, and he
came of poor but honest parents. His
early years were a struggle with poverty,
but he had that within him of which men
are made, and by his own efforts, honestly
exerted, he became the leading manufac-
turer in the State south of Wilmington, the
wealthiest citizen of Sussex county, and
Governor of Delaware.
He was born aid reared Democrat, but
his convictions of good government and
party policy made him a Republican.
his refusals made him stronger with the
people. He was presidential elector in 1888
and was potent factor in the success of
the Republican ticket in Sussex that year.
In November last he received 1880
votes against 1869 for Ebe w. Tunnel
and 499 for Thomas Perry, a plurality of
1921. His administration gave great pro-
mise of much-needed reforms in this State
His father died when he was but 9 year
old and his early advantages for an educa-
ton were very meagre, but no man could
know Joshua H. Marvil without realiz-
ing that he had an unusual mind and a
stong intellect. He was refined Christian
gentleman, nor was he ignorant of letters
as was SO unblushingly spread broadcast
over this great country by telegraph the
night of his inauguration by a writer said
to be on the staff of Wilmington daily.
Governor Marvil keenly felt that insult,
and not to him alone but to the people of
Delaware, and the writer has letter of
thanks for correcting in the Indianapolis
Journal lie which will never be fully
contradicted.
The esteem in which he was held was
evident on Thursday by the great crowd
that gathered to pay the last tribute of re-
spect. Lawrel was full of visitors, from
men of affairs and of State to the humblest
citizen who had lost cherished and valued
friend in Joshua Marvil. The attendance
was estimated from 2000 to 5000. All the
judges, the members of the General Assem-
bly,, the gentlemen of his staff, the State
and county officials, and hundreds of citi
zens, Republicans and Democrats, who de-
sired to pay a last tribute of respect to an
honored son of the State His pastor, the
Chaplains of the Senate and House, as
sisted by other ministers. conducted ser
vices in the M. E. Church, after his re-
mains had been viewed at his late residence
by sorrowing people from 9 o'clock to 2,
and all that was mortal of Joshua Hopkins

There are thirty-six boats fitted out from
here and engaged in shad fishing this sea-
son. In former years there have been as
high as forty. Besides these, twelve boats
are down the bay fishing for sturgeon.
Shad are plentiful here, and sell at nineteen
cents. They only bring twelve cents in the
city. Samuel Eaton caught 167 shad Mon
day, which is the highest number caught
yet by one boat. The isherman's life is a
hard and rough experience They must be
out nearly all night often, and when luck

so they must make the old ones do as long
as they will hold together, or can be men
