ApDIOkS At NEW CAsTLE.
Has Purchased and WIN Operate abe Gas
Plant in That City.

Plant in That City.
j. Edward Addicks Tuesday after.
noon purchased the plant Of the New
Castle Gas Co. Mr.. Addicks was not
In the city yesterday and the terms Of
the deal could not be ascertaiped.
1t is the intention of the new owner
TO at once improve and enlarge the
works, and as soon as practicable COM
mence the manufacture of water gas,
for which purpose the Oxy- Hydrogen
20, Is plant In this city was erected.
1t will be run as branch of the Oxy-
Hydrogen Co., and ii is understood
that the nam Office will be in this
city.
An intimate friend of the Claymopt
man said yesterday morning he will
have the plant so altered as to manu-
facture sufficient gas for illuminating
and fuel purposes, and that he expects
TO supply the people of our neighboring
city with gas of superior quality at a
reasonable rate.
1t was thought that the machinery
now lying idle in this city would be
taken to New Castle and there set up
and used, but this plan will not be
followed out. 1t was learned that it
is Mr.. Addicks' intention not to dis
turb the Wilmington plant but to
make the alterations at New Castle
Independent of any other concern.

THE FAOTJORAL EIGHT.
Regulars Not Yet Decided ms to What They
VIII do.


VIII do.
There will probably be DO decision
for some time in regard to the Addicks
party's name and emblem, which we're
filed in the Office of Clerk of the Peace
Foard Oh Monday. In Mr. Foard's
opinion the certificate as fled may re-
main as it is until he comes to make
mp the ticket. Then the question of
whether tue name and emblem shall go
on the ticket or not will have to be
decided. Meanwhile any objections to
the name may be made. Under the
law party may file it's certificate up
to within 20 days of the election, and
the nominations must be printed by
the clerks Of the peace in two news
papers in each county at least 10 days
before the election.
Regular Republican leaders are not
prepared to announce what action, If
any. they may take in regard TO the
Union Republican party name.
The Democratic candidates for State
Senator are Thomas N. Stayton, Gen.
Garrett j. Hart, John Pyle and f.
W. Weiss.
The Regular Republican State Gen.
tral Committee has dropped the word
central, and hereafter will be known
as the Republican State Committee.
The Prohibition State Committee
met Monday ana called the State con-
vention to meet at Dover on August
llth to nominate candidates for Gov
ernor, Congressman and lowering and
Johnson electors.
At the nomination on Saturday the
Regular Republicans will probably
select Samuel NJ. Knox as the candi-
date for State Senator and ex-City
Solicitor George A. Elliott az the can
didate for Representative. The Union
Republicans will likely select City
Councilman NStaats and Stephen Dow
ney as their candidates for the respec-
tive offices.

ROBERT GARRETT DEAD.
Died Early Yesterday Morning at His Cot
tage in Deer Park. rs

Died Early Yesterday Morning at His Cot-
tage in Deer Park.
Baltimore. Nd, July 20. Robert
Garrett, a former president of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. died at his
cottage in Deer Park, Nd, soon after
3 O'Clock this morning.
Although Mr.. Garrett had been a
hopeless mental invalid for many
years, it was not thought that his
physical infirmities were euch as to
cause any immediate uneasiness upon
the part of his friends. About two
weeks ago, however, he began to fail
and it vas thought best to remove him
from Uplands, his country home near
Baltimore, to Deer Park in the hope
that the change of air and scenery
would benefit him. The Improvement
was not as great as his physicians
hoped for and during the past week he
suffered much from mental depression
and melanchoia. On Mon day his
physical condition showed marked
change for the worse and yesterday his
condition became critical. His de-
voted wife was with him when the end
came, which was peaceful and ap-
parently painless. The immediate
cause of his death is understood to
be chronic nephritis, with which be
had suffered for many years
The arrangements for the funeral are
not yet complete, but it is thought
that it will take place in Baltimore
next Saturday.
The news Of Mr. Garrstt's death was
profound surprise to the people cf
this city. where it was not generally
known that be was seriously i'll.
