TO SUCCEED BISHOP KEENE.

THE NAMES THAT WILL BE PRE-
sENTED AT THE ELECTIONTHIS
WEEK.
AS the time for the election of a rec
tor of the Catholic University draws
nearer, interest in the matter appears
to be on the increase.
In connection with the choice of
Bishop Keene's successor, the name Of
Very Rev. Augustine f. Hewitt, SUI
perior of the Paulist Fathers of New
York, is conspicuOusly mentioned. Il
is known to be the desire OF the pope
that the new rector should be selected
from the priesthood, and Father Hewitt
is especially qualified because OF his
academic experience.
Two other men whose names are
mentioned for the position are Bishop
Montgomery, of Los Angeles, Cal. and
Rev. DR.. Brann, pastor of st. Agnes
Church, of New York. It is said that
Bishop Montgomery is the candidate
of the friends of Bishop Keene. He is
young, well educated, and, while a
friend of the Liberal party, is
thought 10 be far enough removed
from the scene of action to be accept
able to the opposite faction.
Just what the outcome will be no one
knows, and whether the archbisnops

mains to be seen.
The election takes place on Wednes-
day.

ONE CENT.
CONGRESSMAN TURNER TALKS.
SOME POINTED SENTENCES RE-
GARDING THE BENEFITS OF
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.

About 1000 Democrats from the
Third and adjacent wards filed the lot
at Fourth and Monroe streets last
night to hear Congressman Turner, OF
New York discuss the issues Of the
campaign. Mr.. Turner was introduced
by Colonel William II. Blake
He is a clear, forceful speaker, who
does not waste much time in flights of
rhetorical effervescence. These are
some Of the things he said: Did you
ever before see a campaign where all
the trusts and moncpolists, all the big
corporations. all the banks, and all the
money was on one side? And all be-
cause they wish to prevent the pay
ment of a deprecated dollar to work
ingmen.
"They say we want to run up the red
flag Of anarchy. ! have never seen an
anarchists flag in my life, but have
seen an immense number OF sheriff
and auctioneer red flags in the last three
years. And that's what | want TO
abate. ] want TO get rid OF the red
flags we have than be worried over the
red flags that the millionaires claim 10
be threatened with.
I'VE have been under the gold stand
ard now for fifteen years Has It been
such a good thing? II so, why did the
Republican party's platform declare
for bimetalllsm as soon as the consent
Of the other commercial nations of the
earth had been received? II silver is
a good thing, why should we wait for
the consent OF anyone before adopting
/ It?
"The gold people are aware that the
poor dear workmen would be swim
died by free silver You well know that
II they thought they could pay their
workmen in deprecated silver they
would be breaking their necks TO vote
for Bryan. They would pay you in
plaster of paris dollars If they could"
Pointing to I. Il. Quigley's big mo-
rocco shop, which stands just across
the street, and is closed Mr.. Turner
said; "I'll bet that's a gold standard
shop and gold standard man owns II.
"I know this is a great car-building
town. ! see your cars all over the
country | guess your shops haven't
been running SO much over time In the
last three years that they couldn't get
men to do the work, have they? Yet
we have been living under the beneh-
cent gold standard.
Gold is a pirate in time OF peace; a

UNBURIED FIVE DAYS.

A COLORED MANS BODY WITH
OUT PAY IN ADVANCE.

Some time since William Reed. col
ored, came to Wilmington from North
Carolina and secured work here. He
became III about three weeks ago and
having no money, went to the aims
house for treatment.
He remained there until the begin
ming of last week, when It was found
that he was dying. He was removed
to the home of Mrs. Epps, colored,
near Front and Walnut streets, she
having konwn him slightly. He died
there on Wednesday afternoon.
The people In whose house he died
have little money and could not bury
him. They secured an undertaken
however. whose name they refuse tC
! give, who agreed TO bury the man fol
/ $40. The family started out to secure
/ the amount by soliciting subscriptions
On Friday Sl3 had been secured
when one of the men who was collect
ing IL attempted to steal half OF the
amount Mrs Epps' son caught him
however, and regained the money.
On Saturday Sl3 was still the total
amount of the collection, and
out Of this the undertaken
demanded $3.50 for ice furnished for
the corpse. When this was paid. he re-
fused to touch the body until the S2O
first demanded was paid. This not being
forthcoming he left, leaving the body in
the house.
Some neighbors fearing that the re-
mains, wl.lh had been lying there for
over four days, would become a menace
to public health contributed a suffi-
cient amount to have the body decently
buried by another undertaken.

NEW KITCHEN FOR THE JAIL.
MR.. WHITE RECOMMENDS 1T, AND
A HEARING WILL BE HAD NEXT
TUESDAY.

On account OF the Levy Court room
being untilized by Receiver OF Taxes
Dickey for receiving poll taxes, II was
after ~ o'clock to-day before the Levy
Court could get to work. When It was
finally called to order by Chairman
Scott, her was but little work for it to
do.
Several bills and claims for overpaid
taxes were allowed.
Mr.. White, chairman Of the Jail
Committee, recommended that a new
kitchen be built In the jail yard, the
present one being too near the bum
cell for either cleanliness or comfort.
He said that he had had a builder pass
his opinion upon the cost, and he did
not think it would be more than 5000
TO $780,
Mr.. Gallagher said he thought II n
very low estimate and suggested that
the Jail commissioners procure plans
and appear before the court at its next
meeting. The suggestion took we'll, and
next Tuesday, from II to 2 o'clock, was
fixed for the hearing.
On motion of Mr. Gallagher. the clerk
was instructed to notify the chief Of
the Fire Department that Eleventh
street bridge will be turned off for re-
pairs on Thursday. and may be off for
several days. This notification is to
prevent the west side companies from
taking the Eleventh street route In
getting to fires on the other side Of the

THE KNIGHTS WE'RE FOOLED.

About o'clock last evening a man
went to the City Hall and told the Off
cials that riot was i'm progress at
Anderson court, small alley near
Sixth and Walnut streets. Every
thing was instantly a hustle and bus
tie among the doughty knights of the
locust Coats were put on, clubs were
firmly twisted around the wrist, and
each man looked to see If his little can
non were in condition. When they ar
rived at the scene of the supposed riot
two lines were drawn. and the men di-
vided ready for action. To their in
tense disgust they found only a col
ored man and his wife having a quar-
rel over the supper table. The polio,
are looking for the man who an.
nounced the riot.
