Resolutions Adopted.


Annual Meeting ana Election of Officers
Resolutions Adopted.
The following resolutions, offered by
David Ferris, were unanimously adopted
at the annual meeting of the Delaware
Peace Society Thursday evening:
Resolved, That we feel grateful for
the work done for peace and arbitration
since our last annual meeting, including
the peaceable settlement of the Vene-
zuelan boundary question, the offer of
friendly mediation by our government
between Spain and Cuba, assuring
Spain of the kindeat motives on the
part of the United States, in seeking
to bring about pacific condition Of
affairs in Cuba.
Resolved, That we approve of the
continuance of non-inte.yention by our
except the offer of peaceful mediation
already made.
Resolved, That we deprecate, as
injurious and unpatriotic, the constant
effort of part of the press and people
to create war panic. One rumor has
scarcely been denied before another is
started, the most trivial incident is
magnified into preparation for war.
We hope all good citizens will dis
courage this spirit SO fraught with evil
to our country.
Resolved, That We congratulate our
fellow. citizens on the almost universal
popular expression in this country and
Great Britain in favor of international
arbitration, aid the probable near ap-
proach of an agreement upon plan to
put into effect such arbitration.

armies and navies to protect and re-
lieve suffering humanity has been ex-
emplified by the utter failure of the
great nations OF Europe to do anything
for the relief of the tortured, starving
Armenians; but. to use Frances Will
lard's words, One woman, near 10
years Of age, has taken her life in her
hands and gone forward to the rescue !;
she is greater power to-day for God
and brotherhood than all the states
men, diplomatists and soldiers.
Resolved, That we believe our
members and all peace loving citizens
have great cause for encouragement to
persevere in their efforts to remove
the causes and abolish the customs of
war. and live the conditions of peace,
to heed the advice of the immortal
Washington, to observe good faith and
Justice toward all nations, cultivate
peace and harmony with ALL

AN ADDRESS TO THE COURT.

In Concentration OF the Special charge to
the Grand Jury ut the Opening OF the
Present Term.
In the judges parlor of the Court
House, Saturday morning, the following
address WAS personally presented to the
court by the committee whose names
are appended:
Hon. Charles u. Lore. Hon. Charles M:
Cullen. Hon. David 7. Marvel, Judges OF
the Court of General Sessions of the State
of Delaware for New Castle county:
GENTLEMEN We approach you as a
special committee appointed by the direc-
tors of the Law and Order Society of this
city, to express on behalf of its members.
and we believe OF all citizens having az
heart the honor and welfare of the Com
monwealth, the feeling of grateful satisfac-
tion with which your recent charge TO the
grand jury of this county has been read,
1t had TO do with crimes which are so
subversive of all law and order that we have
felt justified in asking this audience of you,
not that we might praise you for doing your
duty--which we feel confident would be
most dstastefnl to yourselves-but that we
might rather assure you of our hearty con-
cIrrence with your views and of our fervent
hope that those responsible for giving effect
to your words may do so faithfully and
thoroughly.
You have well denominated the matters
of which your charge treated as those which
are vitality connected with the continuance
of good government, which must depend
for healthful exercise upon the intelligence
and virtue Of the voter.h To know that this
intelligence and virtue and the scrupulous
record of mans conscientious ballot have
been placed under the protection of he conf
munity in language so impartial and yet SO
strong and unmistakable as that which yon

assailants and determined to make
failure or success of the experiment by
one coup.
The reporter had reached the point
whore he was describing the direct at
tack on Hill. He told Of Brooks awful
blow with the stone, that crushed the
young physicians skull, and Williams
tiendish stab in his throat with his
pocket knife, and then described two
shadowy figures Just behind these men
who were thrusting at him with
knives. He pretended he could. see
two, as he was strongly of the impress.
sion that possibly others not yet appre-
hended might have been implicated in
the murder. This was chance State
ment, but Browns expression of terror
betrayed him.
Grasping Brown by the throat, the
reporter screamed into his ear, "One
of these two men is you, Moses! What
did you do with the knife you held in
your hand?"
The excitement impaired more energy
to the reporters movements than be
had intended, and Brown went over
backward, chair and all, the reporter
landing on his chest, with tight grill
on his throat.
"Where is that knife?" demanded
the correspondent.
Brown tried to rise, but the news.
paper man held him firmly.
"Where is that knife?"
81 threwEit 10 the branch, " gasped
the lf-strangled negro.
Then ii was tine reporter was certain
OF his ground, and let Brown rise to his
chair. The branch was little
brook about 100 feet from where the
assault on Hill was committed. The
knife could have been thrown there
only rconcealment.
Brown realized that he had made
fatal admission and soon acknowledged
that he was present when Hill was as
saulted, and gave the fullest details,
naming the second person the reporter
had claimed he saw with him in the
brain picture az a boy who had worked
on the same farm with him named
Louis Benson, and who had never been
suspected.
That night, in the Jail, Brown signed
full confession, giving the details of
the killing of Hill, and also related,
imparting the first information on the
subject, the story of the conspiracy to
kill Hill, which had been going on for
two months.
The next day Benson was arrested,
and that night, in the jail, confessed
his share in the crime and corroborated
Browns statement.

Joshua Baynard, William Emery.
Perry Bradshaw and Louis Benson
were placed on trial for the murder of
DR.. Hill. Bradshaw was allowed to
turn States evidence and Potts was
found not guilty. The:others were con-
yicted and sentenced to death. Gov.
Brown, of Maryland. subsequently
committed the sentences of Hunt, Bay
nard, Emery and Benson to imprison-
ment for life, and Williams, Brooks,
Brown, and Comegys, boy Of l6 years
Of age, were hanged on the same scat
fold the following January.
This is the first time the real history
OF the confessions of Brown and others
in the Hill case has been made public.
