Probate oourt-Judge Cieaveland.


 Samuel H. Cruttenden, the veteran livery stable proprietor of this city, filed yesterday in the probate court, through his attorney. Paul W. Harri- son, a voluntary assignment. naming Col. Frank T. Lee trustee. No schedule of assets and liabilities was filed, and Mir Cruttenden could give no idea as to the amount involved.
 MT. Cruttenden entered the livery business twenty years ago on Union street, and continued there for fourteen years. Six years ago he established stables in the rear of the Hyperion theater and enjoyed an exclusive bus mess. The hearing is set down for De- cember 21.
 MT, Cruttenden, in speaking of the causes of his failure, said that it was due to dull times, the competition with the bicycle and trolley car and the pressure of one creditor. When bi- cles and trolley cars became so popular his business dropped 50 per cent. imme- diately. He estimates his loss on ac- count of bicycles and cars at ,000.

Mr.. Dupont was refused seat in the
y. S. Senate on a strictly party vote,
the Populists Stewart of Nevada and
Butler of South Carolina voting with
the Democrats. 1t hardly seems party
question whether the acting governor
of the state of Delaware is at the same
time president of the Senate and Gov
ernor of the State, possessing the dual
power of legislator and executive, but
the defeat of Mr.. Dupont endorses that
view of it. There is no going behind
the returns as each body is a judge of
eligibility to memberships. Gas" Adj
dicks will now have another oppor-
tunity and judging from his control up
on the state machine as shown at the
recent State convention he may con-
troll the Republican party there though
it is by no means certain that this
would elect him to the Senate. The peo-
pie will not tolerate in the Republican
what they will in the Democratic party.
There is more independence of thought
among the Republican voters and most
people, seems, are inclined to look to
that party for higher standard. They
will look with disappointment if Adj
dicks and his methods are to be the
standard. AS regards the action of the
Populists, Stewart of Nevada, Butler
of North Carolina and Jones of Ne
vada, Stewart and Jones We're probably
aetuated by desire to defeat any man
who does not entertain free silver
views. Butler is n Democrat at heart
so his action is easily explained. Stew
art is pretty thoroughly weaned from
Republicanism and Jones seems to be
in much the same condition although
the Republicans entertained hopes I'M
til they heard he was paired against
Dupont.
