EXACT AND REASONABLE.


The Addicks Republicans of Will
mington say that the circulation If
the placard bebring the announcement:
'"If you want to have money on elec-
tion day vote the Addicks ticketto at
Georgetown on Tuesday, was tri ckof
the Higgins Republicans. They de-
nounce the act as an outrage. The
Higgins men try to make IL appear as
the work of the Addicksities, while
the Georgetown Democrat says the
circulars were brought from Laurel,
with some parties who came from that
town.-"Smyrna Times"
If Republicans are to get together
this campai IN we must be reasonable
and correct. Our neighbor has done
an. injustice, presumably in quoting
from memory.
The Democrat said this: Dur
ing the day notices were circulated
which read as follows: Attention,
voters! II You want money on the day
OF election you must be for Addicks
and the ticket made out today They
were brought here by the Laurel dele
CATION and 1t seemed like a bold attempt
OF the Addicks forces to renew the dis
graceful debauchery Of two years ago
by the Wholesale purchase of voters.
There is quite a difference in the
statements, and reasonable, men can
draw their own conclusions. The Ad-
dicksities of New Castle county very
naturally deny the conduct of their
Laurel friends because the act is not
popular here, but the ''Times" nor any
one else that we have heard talk offer
any argument for the election of Mr..
Addicks to the Senate except on the
basis of his money to be used to bribe
voters. The legislative tickets in Kent
and Sussex mean the election of Mr..
Addicks. The "Times" will not deny
this. The TRANSCRIPT passed over
this act without comment ltsa week
and only notices it now because we
think our neighbor errs in using it
to prejudice against Republicans. Those
who know the selfish appeal made to
voters to stand by Addicks for cause
can readily believe that the "Demo-
crat" is correct in its statement as to
the authorship. But let us be fair and
reasonable.

THEIR PROPERTY IN PERIL.
New Jersey TURNER'S Excited About
Shady Real Estate Ira ansact ion.


Somervillc, n. j.. Feb. Ga number Of
farmers living near White House are greatly
excited over the prospect Of losing their
homes through the financial transactions
OF ]. y. Pidcock, whose gigantic schemes
and failures of the past two years have con-
tinued to startle the people Of Somerset
and Hunterdon counties.
In 1882 Pidcock sold large tracts of land
to Stephen Kelroy, George billy, George
Apgar, Jacob Emmons. Peter voorhees, and
Bum and Thatcher, and, it is alleged, gave
purchasers have been established on their
farms for a number Of years, with the be
lief that their property was free OF en-
cumbrances.
Last night Sheriff Puulson served them
with orders to appear before Chancellor Nc
Gill at Trenton on Saturday In foreclosure
proceedings on their property. This action
is brought by the First National Bank of
Jersey City to satisfy a $4,000 blanket
mortgage, which includes the tracts al
ready mentioned and other farm lands in
Hunterdon county. This mortgage was
given to the First National Bank By Pidcock
prior to the sale Of lands to the now en-
ragged farmers.
A prominent Hunterdon county official
asserts that he asked Mr.. Pidcock for an
explana ton, and was informed that the
murtgagein question covered a large amount
ofproperty. If $50, 900 can be allied from
the sale of land outside Of the property
decided to farmers their tracts need not be
sold.

First Electric Locomotive Soon to Be


First Electric Locomotive Soon to Be
Tested
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 6.-One of the new
electric locomotives built at the Baldwin
Works, at Philadelphia, on the Westing-
house system, has reached the Westing-
house Electrical Works, at East Pitts
burg, for the test which it is proposed to
make preliminary to the expected revolu-
tion of the present system of railway
transportation. The engine is to be used
for heavy hauling in the East Pittsburg
yards of the company, and will be given
a thorough test there ali once. in order
to ascertain the capacity of its dra awing
powers.
Contact buttons are placed at regular
intervals between the rails on which the
engine is to run. A slide rail under the
locomotives touches these buttons one after
the other, thus keeping up while the engine
is run a constant current of electricity
which travels from the rail through the car
to the side rail, and thence to the buttons.
After the engine has passed the buttons they
are left unconDected. SO that there is no
danger then from contact with the buttons.
A possible speed OF 200 miles an hour is
claimed.

DETROIT CLUB is SATISFIED

Patrons In the City by the La kes Con-

For the Present.

George A. Van Derbeck, president of the
Detroit club of the Western League, has
arrived home. and is still smiling over the
reports his appearance in the East caused.
He says there was nothing in the trip
which could have given rise to such rumors
other than the fact that he conversed with
the representatives of ten of the clubs en-
their opinion or Detroit. With the ex
ception of Brush, these men all said they
liked the town, and u ma iority CT them
expressed an opinion that Cleveland would
do well to run second TO Detroit in base
ball business. He neither received nor
made propositions regarding 4 League
franchise, aud is well satisfied with the
outlook.
Detroit is all right where it bow is
said he. wv hen came here there had been
a frantic effort made to get into the League.
Mr.. Sterns, believe. had had 4 talk and
considerable correspondence with League
men, and had price On two or three

ALL GO TO SEE THE SKATERS.
DOnoghue's Marvellous Exhibitions of
Speed Make the Crowds Cheer.

Speed Make the Crowds Cheer.
The engagement of Joe Donoghue, the
famous skater, and once worlds champion,
at the Convention Hall Ice Palace this week
has been most successful one.
Immense crowds have turned out every
evening to see the races in which he has par
ticipated, and all have united In expressions
of wonder on account of his easy way in
getting over the ice.
His hands behind his back. long, easy
strokes, and a start like that Of railroad
train. with corresponding quickening OF
speed, are the main points in his method.
At the start it does not seem though he
would ever catch the men in front of him,
but after he once gets going to his own sat
isfaction there is nothing too fast for him
in this vicinity.
The races have been most exciting and
there are still some excellent skaters who
are to meet him. The course OF nine laps to
the mile at the rink affords an excellent
opportunity for show of speed on the long
sides and while the turns are short they are
made In about three steps by Donoghue,
while the others are continually ovcrstep-
ping in short, quick strokes, thereby vast
ing an immense amount OF energy.
Every movement OF DoDoghue's tends to
increase his speed and send him over ground
and there is not Il bit OF lost energy visible
in any motion. His skating in the after
noon for three and five miles against time
and in trial races is a beautiful exhibition
of skill and has attracted large numbers
TO the afternoon sessions.
The ladies, particularly, are interested in
the famous skater, and are excited to the
greatest wonder over the speed which he
gets up with such little movement
