ing to the law, the latter leaving thei,
option of choice to the election board.
Inc Democrets, as a party, insisted on
Price or nobody, and the Republicans,
IN the light of the recent ATTEMPTS al
dlsfranchisement, held out with equal
determination for an unquestioned
Republican, the Republican clerk re-
fusing to pass ticket.
An affidavit was sworn to bv parties
that Mr.. Price had been heard to saw
he intended to vote the Democratic
ticket, and the Higgins committeeman
came forward and said Price was not
OF their choosing. Mr.. Price absolutely
refused to vacate the place, so salts
factory man conld be chosen. Thus,
the hour between eight and nine o'clock
the time designated by the law, was
wasted in vain attemps to force on
Price, and finally as the hour of noon
approached, the election, OF attemps
were abandoned entirely. There was
considerable depth of feeling, but no
attempt at violence or coercion. The
Republicans say all they wanted was
their rights, and believes the effort was
to dispossess them of this: hence their
firm stand. The contention, however,
resulted in a wrong to those entitled
to the franchise, and there is heavy
blame somewhere. The five hundred
can now sympathise with the fifty or
so cut off two years ago by party die
tatlOn. There is talk-of prosecution.

hev. A. Stengle preached on Sunday
evening from the Gospel of John. 6-19
Gather up the fragments that re-
man, that nothing be lost"-a dis
course that was summing up of the
salient features of the Christian En-
deavor Convention, and claimed the
close attention of his audience. After
explaining the circumstances ATTENDING
the miracle from which the text was
taken he said that after five thousand
persons had been fed, twelve baskets
were gathered from what had remained
OF the five lOaves and the two fsbes
lie would not have so much, but had
Sathered Tor presentation two baskets.
The first basket was desionated
Truths Emphasized by the Conven-
tlon. First, the inspiration of the
Bible, and its Importance as the means
OF human salvation and elevation: sec.
second, the personality of the Holv
Ghost and its essentialness in order to
moral and spiritual life and power:
third, the Importance of radical change
OF heart and a thorough conservation
IN order to personal salvation and
effective work; fourth, loyalty to the
church and what 1t involves.
The second basket was designated

movement among young people is a
revival; second, its originality in
means and methods; thirdly, leaven
of iberality destroying inter-denomi-

We give considerable space this week
to the three days session of the Christ
ian EndeavOr Association in this town
from Wednesday evening to Friday
evening. Unlike the meetings of politi-
clans whose promoters most always
have an axe to grind, the persons inter
ested in this had no Office or emolu-
ment to gain, but were working for the
good of others. Their whole endeavOr
is labor of love to benefit others-to
make them better citizens, put them
in a larger possession of life as jour
neying thrOughsit, and fit them for the
life that is to. come. The meetings
we're largely attended during the day
sessions, the evening sessions filling
the galleries as well. The guests from
the local societies of the State were
given a hearty welcome and they man
ifested their appreciation in resolutions
as adopted and other ways, and all felt
the better for the intermingling. Rev.
J. B. Turner, of Dover, who presided
so efficiently, was very properly re-
elected for the coming year. The ses-
sions, as they always are, were of gr eat
interest to all who attended them.

Announcement has been received OF
the marriage of w. p. Dickson. OF
New York, formerly of this town, to
Miss Eva May Beekman, of New
Brunswick, N. J. The wedding took
place at the home of the brides aunt.
Mrs. j. r. Russell and Rev. Peter d.
Beekman, of Currytown, N. Y, a
brother OF the bride, tied the nuptial
knot. Says the Daily Home Ne,Os. of
New Brunswick:
Miss Beekman looked queenly, her
stately form gowned i'll white mouse
line de sole and white silk, the former
fabric composing the waist and the
latter the skirt The trimmings were
pearl. The costume had high cor
sage and the skirt was cut en- train.
Miss Beekman wore veil and carried
lilies of the valley.
1.-The bride was attended by two
bridesmaids and maid of honor
The latter was attended by Miss Sadie
Langdon, of that city, who was at
tired in lavender silk under white
mouseline de sole. She carried Law
ender chrysanthemums,
''Miss Viola Beekman, of Newport.
and Miss Belle Russell, of New York
city, assumed the parts of brides
maids. They were alike costumed in
pink and white organdie and wore hats
trimmed with chrysanthemums. Their
bouquets were Lady of Honor chrys-
anthemums.
"Mr. Dickson's best man was
Charles w, Russell, of that city,
cousin of the bride. 1t was at first
arranged that his friend, John Clark.
OF Staten Island, should act in this
capacity, but the bridegroom upon
arriving brought word of Mr., Clark's
illness,
The ushers were John Van Dyke,
OF Jersey City Heights, and Albion B.
Beekman, brother of the bride.
while troop of admiring guests
gathered about, the Episcopalian mar
rage service was performed. The
bride was given away by her brother.
William I. Beekman. After the SER
vice the guests adjourned to the sup
per room, where a delicious banquet
was served.
'"The Rev. w. w. Knox, D. d., of
the First Presbyterian Church, that
city, assisted al the ceremony, offering
prayer after the VOWS were taken.
''Mr. and Mrs. Dickson will take ne
extended wedding tour, but will com

THE ELECTION IN
DUCK CREEK HUNDRED.
Non Agreement on Voters,
Assistant Defeats an
Election.

Yesterday, as a remnant of Autumn.
having in it the warmth of a beautiful
Indian summer day, was an ideal one
for an election-a feature that per-
tanned to all the States east of the
Mississippi river-but in old Duck
Creek hundred it was only half of an
election. In this respect it was an
anomaly, an Outgrowth of depraved
political methods.
Two years ago fifty or more voters
were sworn against and their PRAYER
for a mandamus from the court COM
pelllng their names to be restored to
the registration list was denied. and
they were thus disfranchised. On the
gath of October this year, the same
thing was attempted for the same pur-
poses in the Eastern and 43 in the
Western voting precinct, but it was
checkmated by the Republicans at
Dover pursuing the same methods,
and by the action of the court.
The virulence of the Higgins faction
led to the difficulty yesterday whereby
half the hundred was deprived of the
right of franchise. Last week the
committees of the Higgins Republi
cans and Democrats had a conference
and agreed that they should have the
Voters Assistants, though the Hig-
gins men in the two lower counties did
not in most places number but one or
two per cent of the party, because, at
the st. Louis Convention they had
been recognized as Regular,
The Union Republicans felt this an
outrage on party rights, and as such
should not be borne,
The Union Republicans felt it an
action to aid the dominant party little
less than conspiracy, especially in
the wake of the effort at disfranchise-
ment less than two weeks ago. The
law gives the 'Voters' Assistants" to
the two leading parties, and when the
Democrats attempted to choose from
the Higgins fragment nominal Re-
publican, which was considered equiv
alent to their choosing both assistants,
they objected strenuously. On this
principle ThOs. M. Hoyle was selected
for the Western District, and be was
waited on that morning by Democrat
we are informed, but Mr.. Hoyle de
clined to serve, and, having no one
else, the Republican chosen was al.
lowed to take the place The election

day. The electoral vote was cast for
Mckinley and Hobart by 2OOO or more
but the Democrats, because of the
Republicans having two tickets in the
field elected Tunnel for Governor and
Handy for Congress. The boilers by
putting Higgins and Houston in the
field and working for a common pur-
pose with the Democrats, elected the
ticket of the latter. Defiance in the
