AMONG the first important bust

the rotten fee system. Litigation

FROM INDIANAPOLIS TO DELAWARE
A Demented Woman Wanders Thither to
Buy Farm.

Last Thursday a strange woman
showing herself to be of unsound
mind came to Smyrna from William
Broadway's residing near Bombay
Hook, wanting to buy farm. "Con-
stable GOldsborcugh's attention was
called to the woman and seeing her
condition, he began to investigate the
matter. First the Kings Daughters
were notified and special meeting
held. Nothing was done, so Mrs
Maria Smith Of the "Chester House"
in her goodness of heart, took
charge of the woman, In the mean
time some inquiry was made as to who
she was, and where she came from and
what she was doing down in this part
of the State. ---
The woman gaze 13e4 her lRPssIii1e as Mrs.
Ella a4411SIer 411SeI1ie5r of indianapolis, Ind, that
she had husband and daughter living.
This much being known, Constable
GOldsbOrOugh telegraphed to the Chief
of Police of that city for information
and the woman was held until an an
swer was received. The reply came to
hold her here until an officer called for
her. On Monday Captain Tim Splan,
Chief of Detectives of the Department
of Public Safety and Police Force of
Indianapolis arrived. Some trouble
seemed to arise concerning his getting
her away, for she knew the Detective
and at once suspicioned his visit.
Not wishing to engage in an uncom-
Portable scene he resOrted to strategy
and decOyed her by telling her of the
illness of her husband and to see him
alive it would be necessary for her to
return with him Immediately. Mrs.
Lauer broke in tears and without any
resistance accompanied him. They
left on the $50 afternoon train for
their home in indianapolis
The following story is unraveled
concerning her whereabouts. She had
been IA months in an asylum in In
dianapOlis and left on a furlough to
visit relatives in New York. While
there she took O notion to visit O sea
| shore and in some mysterious manner
unknown to herself, she landed at
Dover. From there she went to
Bowers Beach and from there back to
Dover, thence to Woodland Beach.
Finding the board too high for her
there, she went to VIM. NJ Broadway s
residence where she stayed two weeks.
She was brought to Smyrna and until
Detective Splan came made her home
with Mrs, Maria Smith,
Mrs. Lauer, we understand Is of a
well-todo family, her husband holding
a lucrative position in indianapolis
There was nothing dangerous about
the woman, only she rambled off in 6
simple minded way, her one thought
being to "buy farm" It is q relief
to Mrs, Smith as well as Constable
Goldsborongh to know she is now Oh
he return home where it is hoped she
will be given the best of attention.

ST. Louis, where the Republican
National Convention commenced Its
session yesterday, has been the centre
of national interest for a week past,
and will be more so if possible the rest
of this week, for it is not expected they
we'll get throught and adjourn before
the last of the week, though the choice
of the candidate, Mckinley, was virtu-
ally settled before the delegates reached
the convention. There is an army of
reporters writing down everything that
happens, with large drafts on the i'm
aginatiOn, and the daily papers are
thus running over with Convention
news. Mark Hanna is the general
issimo of the Mckinley forces. Greater
than the Vice Presidential candidate
Cwho is not yet in sight is the plat
form. and its financial plank. Previ-
GUS to the calling of the Convention,
Mark Hanna prepared a rough draft OF
platform which was submitted to al
most every prominent politician in st.
Louis except the free silver men and
Mr.. Platt. The words ''gold standard
we're omitted. It declares for the
"existing standard and strongly con-
demns free coinags. There is also Il
strong and vigorous aIlon for
protective iarIff and reciprocity.
The phraseoiogy of the currency
plank has given the managers consider
able annoyance. That the declaration
will be emphatic and unequivocal for
sound money there is no doubt, and il
seems to be equally certain that 1t will
meet with the approval of all friends
of sound money.
The contesting delegations have
given the committees considerable
trouble, not the least being the Hig
gins and Addicks delegates from Della
ware. 1t was such a knOty case thai
the Committee referred it to the Gen
eral Convention.

Democratic Primaries At New Castle
County.

The interest felt in the Democratic
primaries, Saturday afternoon, was
shown by the fact that the total vote in
Wilmington was 6065, within 500 of the
full party vote polled at the last gener-
al election The election, however,
passed off quietly, despite the intense
interest manifested The full vote was
as follows:
For Sheriff-James B. Toman, of
New Castle, G542; James Carmichael,
Of Wilmington, 1915; Marshall s. Jor-
den, Of Mill Creek, 27s, Toman's plur-
ality; 1927.
For Coroner-George A. Willis, of

of Blackbird, 2ss0I Herman Peates, of

For County Treasurer-John N.

Delegates to the Democratic State
Convention were also chosen Saturday.
The Salisbury men asserted that they
elected a majority of the delegates in

ton, or at least "a number sufficient to
compel the selection of John Il. Sauls-
bury as one of the delegates to the
National Democratic Convention, de-
spite the fact that he is in favor of free

One day last week it looked for lit
tie while almost like a panic in Wall
street but next day it seemed as if d
boom had set in. Prices advanced
sharply, but there was no increase IN
business. The upward movement was
due to covering by shorts on the salts
faction and relief felt over the adjourn
ment of Congress-, on the prospect OF
a sound-money plank at st. Louis and
the sound-money victories IN seyerat
Democratic State Conventions, and on
a statement by J. Pierpont Morgan
predicting large foreign investments in
this country provided that the gold
standard is maintained. Mr.. MOrgan's S
statement, as given in the Post, Is as
follows:
'"The denominating question, Of
course. is the currency problem. Ii
that is settled satisfactorily, Europe
will buv our securities. If it is not
she won't. That is all that there is to
be said. By satisfactory settlemen
of the currency mean decision tina
this country maintain the single golC
standard. Unless European capitalist
know in what money we will pay ou
debts they will not invest in our securi
ties, and there can be no sound none.
that is not based on the single .golC
standard. As 1 have already said,

THE position of Delaware before the
st. Louis convention is humiliating.
This has been brought about by the
two sets of legates-Higgins and
Addicks-and the reporters, eager for
news, scattered the features, with more
or less dirt, throughout the Union IN
the papers of Saturday. Messrs Hlg-
gins and Hastings used the strongest
kinds of epithets in referring to their
opponent, but Mr. Addicks and DIR.
Layton refrained largely from similar
exposures, because they said, a nat
ional convention was not the place to
wash the dirty linen of Delaware.
The result was that neither the Ad-
dicks delegates, who were regular, nor
the Higgins delegates, who were boil
ters, were admitted, by decided vote
of the National Committee, there be-
ing feeling of execratiOn apparently
for both leaders.
The point raised against Mr.. Ad-
dicks by Senator Thurston, on Friday,
and which seemed to be the infuenc-
ing idea in the rejection, was the fol
lowing from his speech:
"Addicks has been proved a traitor
to the cause of Republicanlsm. When
! that party had forty-fOur senators III
the Capitol at Washington and but
one more was needed to give it ma
| ioritv of votes over the POpulist-De
| cratic element, it was Addicks, who 10y
the aid of q Democratic governor
brought about a deadlock and pre-
vented Delaware from receiving
proper representation in the Senate.
The committee of Credentials ma.
reach a decision before the State dele
cations are called, but it puts Delawar
politics in a nauseating light, and
would be more nauseating if the ful
measure of machine work in disfran
chising voters was laid bare.
The most that Mr.. Addicks said /
reply to the charge of Mr.. Higgins of e1
treme selfshness and being q 'mOrs
idiot" was, ''I made Anthony Higgir
a Senator and 1 whipped him; henC
these tears"
In the meantime they have been lool
ing up the rules that govern nations
conven tions, and if precedents are fo
l lowed in admitting delegates who con
| with full and regular credentials, Az
5 dicks feels he and his associates will

! Delaware promises thus to loom I
