bridal party stood before a chancel
comprised of holly and mistletoe, the
berries of red and white making rich
contrast to the background of dark
green leaves, bible bound in white

the green. A marriage hymn was sung

THE STEAMER ELLA SUNK.

RAN INTO A PILING NEAR NEW CASTLE
LAST NIGHT.
Early this morning news came to town
that the Steamer Ella, run by the
Smyrna Steamboat Company, had
sunk in the Delaware River, off the
town of New Castle. The boat had
left Philadelphia at 4. 30 p. NJ, and was
making her return trip down. AS
night grew on, the heavy snow storm
was binding and the way dark and
dangerous. The Ella had passed by
Fort Delaware when it was thought
advisable to pull in port until the
storm had passed. She turned around
and tried to land at the Fort but was
unable to locate it in the storm. Head
way was then made for the New Castle
piers, and Just within a mile of the
place the Ella ran into a broken off
piling, striking her about midships.
The boat stopped suddenly and the
news of its sinking made to the pass
engers and crew.
Quick, active work was set about
and before much time had elapsed, a
row boat was lowered and word taken
to New Castle. The Steamer Eliza
beth Van Solver of the Philadelphia
Il Smyrna Transportation Company
which had left Philadelphia about the
same time of the Ella, did not venture
down the river but had pulled in al
New Castle. Hearing the distress Of
the Ella, the Van Solver steamed down
to the wreck and all the cargo and
freight were transferred. There were
only three passengers on the Ella out
side of the crew. Some of them re-
turned by train at midnight and others
will come ON the Van Solver to-day.
Fortunately the only damage done
was to the boat, the cargo, now mostly
of Christmas goods, were taken of
before even damaged by water.
The tide was low at the time the boa
sank in a depth of eight or ten feet o
water. At high tide however, the decl
will be about one foot under water.
The Smyrna Steamboat Company
expect to have the Ella repaired anC
running by the first of next week.

ONE of the questions engaging the
attention of the Constitutional
Convention is that of dividing New
Castle County. To do so would be
one of its wisest acts. Only three
counties in the State with but nine
members of the Senate, leads to almost
constant troubles of partizan legisla-
ton because of there being only three
counties. There would not be that
ever recurring trouble of going by
County lines in having to chose men
of poor ability over others of superior
quality. And not to multiply the
reasons, New Castle County is large
enough to divide into two Counties
making the State have four of some
thing like similar proportions, and last
but not least, Wilmington, with the
adjacent outlying section of country
will have the divisional Importance ii
desires.

FROM an account of the Constitution
makers elsewhere it will be seen that
the question of the Franchise is re-
ceiving a good share of attention.
This has been the disturbing element
in our politics fO1 years, until we are
on the verge of revolution. The COnsti-
tuition makers cannot correct matter
of more vital interest. 1t has been a
plague to the people and disgrace to
the State. So long as assessors and
collectors and levy courts could dis
franchise voters by the score in each
Hundred and left only one avenue
open to fight such rascally political
corruption-money-iust so long was
there a bid for Addicksism. 1t en-
couraged plutOcracy. If the dis
franchisement on the one hand and
vote buying on the other can be done
away with, the State will be in every
way q great gamer.

in this State for the last half century,
or, indeed, for that matter, as any since
the State has had an existance. There
was no fraud perpetrated ut the polls
except that which was perpetrated by
the voters assistants appointed from
the Higgins faction for the purpose OF
carrying out Mr.. Higgins avowed
purpose of 'cleaving in twain the Re-
publican party down its spinal column
from collar bone to crupper;" and yet
on the 9Th day of this present month,
at the bidding of few anarchistic, So
called leaders in Dover, the majority
of the members of the Board of Can
vass refused to ascertain the state OF
the vote of Kent county as by law ex-
pressly directed, tabulating only the
vote cast in the districts which were
Democratic, and refusing to take any
account whatever of the vote cast in
the Republican districts. If lawfully
tabulated, these men all knew that the
Republican delegates had received a
majority of from 200 to 400 in the
county. 1t is said that this was done
on account of fraud and bribery at
the instance of the Dover leaders who
declared that desperate cases demand
ed extraordinary remedies" The des-
perate case was their loss Of power,
the disfranchisement of every vote
Republican and Democratic residing
in the Republican districts of East and
West Dover Hundreds, North and
South Murderkill and Milford Hun

to govern the State.
SPECIAL SESSION OF COURT.
Since the above was written the Chan
cellor and Judges of the Superior
Court had a conference to take action
on the petition for a special session of
the Court of Errors and Appeals, and
decided to hold said Court at Dover
next Monday morning at 11.3O o'clock.
The Judges composing this Court will
be Chancellor Nicholson and Judges
Grubb and Marvel. Grubb has been
on the case from the beginning: it is
to be hoped that his associates will res
pect their place as judges to determine
law and its execution.

ROBT. D. HoFFECKER, j
Associate Editor,

The Cuban question seems to have
been greatly stimulated by the reported
death of Maceo, and the Cameron
resolution acted on by the U. S. Sen
ate has worked Spain up to the fight
ing point. The latter country looks
upon this nation as disposed to favor
the independence of Cuba, while the
sympathetic war feeling in the United
States is doubtless deep. The resOlu-
tions will have to lie over until after
the holidays. The known opposition
of President Cleveland and Secretary
of State, Olney, to war with Spain, will
prevent our country from precipitating
hostilities.

A young man of our town who is
having an easy time with nothing to
do, concluded on last Friday night that
he would have some fun anyway, so he
dressed himself up in strange clothes,
sleighbells and hideous mask, and
started out to scare women and chill

came very near catching his death from
a pistol shot In the hands of q fright
ened and very much excited woman
Fortunately for the young man, the
revolver had only one load in it, and it
missed the mark. He beat such a
hasty retreat that the people on the
street thought it was a horse broken
loose from sleigh up the street. If
this yOungster has the intelligence to
profit by this bit of experience he has
one of the best lessons of his life.

able improvements in his new home on
Main Street recently purchased from
Edward Farrell. Besides remodelling
some portions of the interior the ex-
terror has received an attractive i'm
provement in the appearance of that
property which has been made by cut
ting down all the evergreens which stood
in front of the house. This takes away
the exclusiveness of the house and
gives a long view from G. B. TaylOrs

commented upon by the citizens in

Lake Como is now gaining the at
tention of the boy and his skate. A
splendid stretch of smooth crystal
ice covers the entire lake from two to
two and a half inches thick. Yester-
day the boys were skating all over it
and it is not unnatural for them to wish
for a cold spell to increase the thick
ness in order to give a grand skating
carnival during the holidays. Though
the Lake has just been accessible there
has been considerable skating for sew
eral days past on our small ponds. The
snow fall of last night has broken up
the skating.
