A Big BLUNDER THIS.
Dennis Dianeen Enjoying Liberty
Because Of a Court Mistake.

Dennis Dlnneen, the middle aged Irish
man, who several weeks ago was on trial
In Oyer and Terminer Court for the burn
ing of q house on his property out al
Hockessin, tenanted by Anton kopf, and
of which charge he was found innocent
has since been enjoying liberty, though
still under Indictment through blunder
on the part of some official of the court
The surety he offered has been found to
be worthless and above all Dinneun was
allowed to leave the Court House before
the court had passed upon the surety
offered. These facts were impaired to
the court yesterday afternoon by Deputy
Attorney General Peter L. Cooper, and
forthwith the court ordered capias issued
for Dinnoen.
WAS GOING TO IRELAND.
During the day Mr.. Cooper had learned
that Dinneen was preparing to leave the
city for Ireland where he intended to re-
main for five years Knowing the man to
be under indictment for barn burning.
Mr.. Cooper made an Investigation INTO
the bond given by John Gormley for Din.
mems presence at the next term of
criminal court and found that 1t was al
most worthless.
Gormley is property owner but Mr.
Cooper said his possession was an insig-
niticaut piece of land, SO heavily mortgagcd
that it would be almost impossible for the
state to recover in case the indicted man
should leave the country. He therefore
called the courts attention to the serious.
ness of the matter.
That the matter of Dinneen's release
was because of 4 blunder is borne out by
the fact that the man was allowed to
leave the court room before the court had
examined the bond. This work is for tho
Clerk OF the Peace who is clerk Of the
court.
That official should have first presented
tho bond to the court as is always Gus
tomary, but even then no one was willing
to explain how it was that Dinneen had
been at liberty So long before this fact was
discovered. The capils will bring Dinnecn
before tho court again and new bond
will have to be given In case it is not
satisfactory then he will have to remain in
jail until tried.

DOVER, Dec. 9.-The four Union Repub'
leans from Kent county decline to take
their seats in the convention. II they
were elected, they claim, so were the other
Republicans who received more votes than
they did.
When the convention met this morning
the first callers appeared on the floor
Mrs. Cranston of Newport, and Mrs, Hay,
Of Now York, appeared in behalf of the
Woman Suffragists and presented the
following communication:
I'm forming anew Constitution for our
State of Delaware we most earnestly re-
quest that you will so change the present
Constitution as to enfranchise the women
Of our beloved State.
GAS you remember. Delaware was the
first State to come into the Union, so now
let her continue TO be progressive and take
this important step giving the ballot to
all citizens irrespective Of sex. This re-
quest is made by large number of mon
and women in this Commonwealth that
wish to SEQ Delaware indeed a free State. y
The delegates were in a quandary to
know what to do with the communication
until Mr.. Cooch, of Pencuder, saw a way
out of the dilemma and moved to refer the
matter to the committee on elections.
The report of the Committee on Rules
c,used lively debate 1t provided that
all reports Oh inc committees SnOulu NC
lopteG by two-thirds vote. William G..
Spruance vigorously opposed the two.
thirds rule, saying that the effect would be
t) bottle up the convention. IT the two
thirds rule were adopted it would be In =
possible to adopt many proposed amend
ments to the Constitution Mr.. Bradford
took tho same view.
The practical effect of the rule would
DO to make tho convention strictly non
partisan, as the Republicans having moro
than one-third Of the delegates could re.
ject all tho reports of committees For
this reason the opposition of Mcssrs Brad
ford and Spruance caused some comment.
After considerable talk the report of the
committee was laid on the table.
Considerable time was taken up In the
discussion over tho purchase of the new
furniture. Tho committee was instructed
to rent the furniture If possible.
The committee on rules was instructed
to have the rules printed so that each
member can vote intelligently They are
similar to the rules governing the LegiS.
