NEW CASTLE, March 20 After all the
suspense and doubt the appropriation Of
$500, 900 for deepening the channel of
the Delaware river in this neigheorhood
will 10 through the Pennsylvania Legis
lature. One Philadelphia paper, the
Record, printsa chart Of the river in this
vicinity, showing the six spots In the
Dela~ are where dredging Is required to
secure a sufficient depth OF channel for
the big vessels now engaged in ocean
transportation. The two worst places
are Duck Creek Flats and Dan Baker
Shoal, where there are but twenty feet
OF water at low tide 1t will be noticed
that these are the two farthest points
from Philadelphia, and that unless the
channel should be deepened there 1t
would be almost useless to spend much
money on the distractions higher up the
river. The next worst point Is Cnerry
Island Flats, opposite Wilmington, where
there are twenty one feet Of water at low
tide at Schooner Ledge, between
Chester aud Marcus Hook there are
twenty-three feet Of water, and at Bulk
head Shoal tweuty-four feet.
With $500, 900 from the state, $500, 0OO
from the city, OF which 1925, 900 has
already been approprs ed, and a contin-
uing approprl ation feom the government
aggregating from $500 900 TO 5000 0O0
for two years, It Is believed that the
channel In the Delaware could during
1895 aud 1896 be made deep enough fol
the largest vessels.

ELECTION CONTEST OPENS.
Two Alabama Gases On Tho String
And In One There Is Hitch
Over Testimony To Be
Allowed,

WASHINGTON, June 26.-All Of
the twenty-six contests for seats in
the next House which Clerk Kerr
has opened in accordance with the
law for the purpose OF deciding
what part OF the testimony shall
be printed, that OF Goodwin VS..
Cobb. from the Fifth Alabama dis
trict is the only one which has eX-
cited any controversy. In this case
Mr.. Cobb, who has received the
certificate of election, objects 10
having certain parts OF the evil
dence which has 6een taken in Mr..
Goodwin's behalf presented. The
testimony to which exception is
taken consists largely OF exhibits
filed in connection with the resti-
mony and to certain certificates
which 1t is claimed are not author
lied by law. Mr.. Cobb also COM
plains that a portion Of the testi-
mony offered was taken after the
time allowed by the statues. The
case was first opened yesterday
and was also under consideration
today. Messrs. Cobb and Goodwin
both being present, the latter was
attended by his attorney, who con-
tended for the admission OF all the
testimony printed. Mr.. Cobb chal-
lenged the propriety Of printing it
under the law. AS the decision in
such cases rests with the clerk he
postponed action upon the protest
until tomorrow.
The case OF Robinson VS.. Harri-
son, involving the seat from the
Third Alabama district, was also

A Common Proceeding

BOSTON, Mass, June 26.-In-
quiries made at the rooms of the
American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions have elected the statement
that there is no reason for the sem
sational accounts which have &C
companied the report that the
board is about to send deputation
to Japan. The sending OF such
populations is by no means an ex-
traordinary procedure on the part
OF that society, since it is deemed
expedient that the missions may
be visited occasionally by score
taries and executive officers. At
the present moment there are some
questions as to the conduct OF Mis-
sionary work in Japan which rem
ders this an opportune time for
sending a deputation. The Japan
ese are independent in spirit and
naturally desire to carry on their
institutions In their own way.

Tough on the Husband.

LITTLE Rock, June 26.-A case
star ted in Justice Lavender's court
last winter is making its way by
degrees to the court Of final resort.
The question involved Is that Of a
husbands liability for his wifes
pre-nuptial debts. Justice Laven-
der's decision relieved the husband
of liability but in the circuit court
Judge Martin reversed 1T. Yester-
day motion was filed for a new
trial, but the case will probably
yet 60 to the Supreme court.
The style of the suit is Of j. v.
Young, We. Mrs. U. M. Keys and
her. husband, ]. III. Keys. The
debt involved was contracted by
Mrs. Keys while she. was unmar-
ried and widow. Judge Martin
holds that where woman con.
tracts debt when no legal dis
ability exists, the common law
liability obtains and the husband
is responsible for the debts Of his
wife contracted before as we'll as
after marriage. This suit Is likely
to become a cause celebre.

Yale's Commencement Different.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 26.-
Extensive preparations have been
made at Yale for commencement
day today. Many changes in the
place and manner Of the gradual
ing exercises have been made. The
old Centre church, on the "City
Green" is no longer commodious
enough, and in its place will be
used the Battell chapel, on the
campus. Instead OF the traditional
orations by the graduating class Of
the college, the exercises will be
shorter and more picturesque. Mu-
sic will play a prominent part.
Psalm lxv. will be sung, as 1t was
in 1917, at the opening OF the first
college building, and again at the
Inauguration of President Dwight,
in 1886. The ode Of Edmund
Clarence Stedman, the music by
Professor Parker, will be rendered
by a male chorus of eighty voices.

Two Flre-Damp Victims.

BOONE, Iowa, June 26.-John
Marshal, Jr., son of one OF the pro.
prietors of the Grove and Marshal
Coal company, who was dipping
water in the bottom OF the shaft
which the company is sinking, was
observed to stop his work and lean
up against the side Of the shaft. A
workman insisted on going after
him and was lowered into the shaft,
but collapsed when he reached the
bottom and was hauled out. Then
John Thunell went down to save
the young man. He reached the
bottom and took hold of young
Marshal to draw him into the cage,
when he was overcome by the fire.
damp and fell out Of the cage into
the water. 1t was half an hour
before the air could be purified in
the shaft so that the bodies could
be recovered.

Georgetown Doings,

GEORGETOWN, June 26.-(Spec-
ial )-After two years Of local OPP
ton, Georgetown is on the eve OF a
hot campaign to re.establish sa-
looms, the election to take place
June 81. The prohibitionists had
a grand rally at the court house
last night, which was full to its
seating capacity, q large number
Of ladies being present. The meet
ing was presided over by Rev.
Isaac Sellers, pastor OF the Baptist
church, and opened by prayer by
John III. Mclean, president OF the
Southwestern university. w. o.
Baker, OF Elgin, spoke for one
hour, with little effect, and seemed
to test the patience Of the audience.
He was followed by Hon. Robert
A. John, in an interesting fifteen
minutes talk, replete with logic,com-
common sense, an from an unbiased
standpoint. He stated that he IA
vored local option in Georgetown
for three especial reasons; that
prohibition prohibits here, and Is
not a farce as in some other local
option towns; that it pays here, all
branches of mercantile business
and professional men being beni-
fitted; and that 1t was right from
moral standpoint. He frankly
admitted, that were he located in a
city that did not profess the
peculiar characteristics OF George
town, where local option was det-
riment, he would probably advo-
cate saloons. Mr.. John was lound-
ly applauded.

BIG RACING STABLE SALE.
Gideon and DAILY Dissolve and the
can Blue" Colors Will be
Haunted by Dideon-Fly-
ers Will be Sold.

New YORK, June 26.-Turfmen
were astonished to learn that the
racing firm of Gideon and Daily
was to be dissolved, and that their
horses in training would be sold at
public auction. The stable is the
strongest in the east and includes
amongst its performers such nota-
able flyers as Rampo, Walter, Kee-
nan, the Butterflies, Hazlett, Re-
quittal and Kinglet.
The sale of this racing stable has
been in contemplation for some
time by both members Of the firm,
who have felt the growing RESPONSE
bility and worry of big establish
ment. The famous all blue colors,
which have become so popular
with the public OF the honesty and
good faith with which the horses
were always run, will not disap-
pear, however, as David Gideon
will manage a smaller stable Of his
own and the all blue will probably
be seen in the front in many an
other hard fought race. Mr.. Gid
con announces that he will be
bidder at the sale and will select
from the horses offered II the prices
are satisfactory, a small and more
easily managed stable.
"You can say for me-" said Mr..
Gideon last night, "that there is no
hard feeling between Mr.. Daily or
Trainer Hyland and myself. We
are all on the best of terms and the
proposed sale is entirely friendly
arrangement. Our breeding estab.
lishment at Holmdell will continue
to be conducted as it has in the
past. AS for the trainer. Hyland, /
regard him as one Of the most hon.
est and earnest in America"
Trainer Hyland will have the
option of continuing to train for
Mr.. Gideon II he cares TO do so. Mr..
Daily will not race. Jockey Griffin
will probably be secured by Mr..
Lorillard or Mr.. Belmont, both Of
whom greatly admire his riding.
The sale which will occur after
the Sheepshead bay meeting, will
be the most important since the
disposal of the late August Bel
mont horses. There are Sc horses
to be sold altogether.

ering l2,465,OOO acres of land,
suit for which has been on trial
