THE VOTES OF PAUPERS.
Supreme Court Declines to Throw
Light This Question.

The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down a decision which was not a decision
on the question of voting the paupers in
the Marion county poor farm. The case
came up from the Circuit Court in the con-
test of Croft against Clark, opposing can
didates for trustee of Wayne township
For years the Democratic superintendents
of the poor farm voted the inmates in
body for the Democratic ticket and it was
hoped that this case would settle for all
time the question of the legality of such
votes. The case was turned over to Judge
Hackney for decision. The evidence showed
that forty-three such votes had been cast.
and that Clark had been elected by four
votes on the face of the returns. Croft at
tempted to show that two of these votes
had been cast for Clark. but the lower
court sustained Clarks objection to admit
ting the testimony of poll clerks to show
this. Upon this error the case went to the
Supreme Court. and Judge Hackney, in the
opinion, declined to take up the question.
because If these two votes had been thrown
out the result would not have been af-
fected

He Win Address Union Republi-
cans at the Auditorium Sat-
urday Night.

Ex-Speaker Thomas b. Reed of Maine
and United States Senator Frye of the
same State are the latest speakers secured
by the Union Republican Party for ad-
dresses here. Mr.. Reed will be at the
Auditorium Saturday night Of this week
and Mr.. Frye the following Saturday.
The coming to Wilmington OF such dis
tinguished Republicans Indicates the
great interest the national party has in
Delaware, and their coming will be her
aided in return with the greatest interest
and enthusiasm that has been accorded
any politician who ever met the Republic
cans Of this commonwealth. Prepare
tions have already been begun for the
Saturday night meeting Word was re-
ceived here this morning of the gentle
mems determinations and Immediately
those preparations were begun. 1t has
been proposed to place more chairs in the
Auditorium so that no one who comes
out to hear the champions of sound money
and protection will have to stand.
This condition has been the only I'M
pleasant feature of the Auditorium meet
ings Of course some will have to stand
but there will be seating accommodation
for at least 5000 people.
The appearance here of Messrs Reed and
Frye has been only after repeated efforts
on part Of the Union Republicans. Tho
men have been helping in tho work of
carrying their own state overwhelmingly
and this fact has prevented them from
leaving for any period. They knew Of the
disruption here and come with the best
interests of the party, both state and
national at heart.

What was his astonishment to witness
the fly take his line up in The air with the
greatest of ease. Tho Doctor and his
friends had goO1 laugh at III, strange
phenomena of the fisherman being caught

THE HONEST SHAKERS AND
THEIR CURE fOH DYSPEPSIA.

The shopkeeper who cheats us by lying
with regard to the quality Of his goods,
and the grocer or the butcher who gives
us short weights, is q thief. However,
| their knavery touches nothing but our
pocketbook. There Is another widespread
form OF misrepresentation OF far more
dangerous and villainous character.
We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently
accompany medicines. To guarantee a
medicine to cure Is to brand 1t as quack
product. II we can guarantee to cure
disease, then we can guarantee everlast.
| ing life, for in large majority of cases
people die of disease, the proportion Of
violent or accidental deaths being very
small.
The Shakers have always been known
as most upright and honorable people
and their success In the manufacture of
medicines has also been well known. 1t
therefore not surprising to find them
pursuing very original and novel plan
| for the introduction Of their remedy for
dyspepsia.
These God-fearing people, whose motto
has always been "Try all things and hold
fast that which is good, have put upon
the market ten cont sample bottles of their
product or sufficient to giveit q trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial Is SO
prompa In its action that for the trivial
sum of ton cents, II person can usually
determine as to whether or not 1t meets
tho requirements of his case. There are
forms Of dyspepsia which 1t won't help
but these are very rare. In most cases the
first dose relieves all distress, and an In
crease of appetite at once follows.
All druggists have il, and the next time
you are troubled with indigestion send
out and try this popular and successful
product. 1t represents nearly hundred
years of patient investigation and study.

TEE CHARGE
OF ARSON
Preferred BY Anton Koch Against
Dennis DInaen.
MARROW ESCAPE gsvN DEATH
On Friday Morning While the
Family Slept the Dwelling
IA Was Discovered on Fire
and a Man Like Dl-
neen Walked
Away.

At the police station in coll Is Dennis
Dineen of SIT Church street locked MP on
the charge Of arson.
Anton Koch, who lives on Dineen's farm
at Hockessn, alleges that on Saturday
morning about clock he was awakened
BY the cracking noise Of fire and upon go
ing down stairs found that the flames had
made good Roadway on the kitchen.
Himself and wife did not walt to dress but
formed bucket brigade and soon extin-
guished the flame.
By tho time they had the work ac-
complished the coal and wood shed was
discovered to be on fire and in going to
put 1t out they saw a man walk across the
Held who looked like Dineen.
While battling with the fire at tho shed
the barn was discovered to be on fire and
the flames soon had it u prey, and Koch
i. lost 300 chickens and 4 tons of hay on
which there is no insurance. Dineen
. carried an insurance of nearly $1,000 on
the property
Koch came to this city on Saturday and
Sergeant Evans and Officer Rhcinholz ar
rested Dineen.
The authorities will not toll what evil
denoe they have; much credence is not in
the story that the dress found near koch's
house saturated with oil has been identi-
He'd by Mrs. Dineen because they have not
lived happily for over ayear.
Dineen will be given hearing tomor-
row morning before Magistrate Daley.
Walter H. Hayes has been engaged by
Dineen to defend him.

David P. Smyth May Die From
Injuries Received Yesterday.

Car No. 90 Of the Wilmington City Rail-
way Company may be responsible for the
death OF David p, Smyth, one Of Whining
tons best known jewellers. The accident
happened about ~ o'clock yesterday morn
Ing and since the injured man has been
lying in comntose condition, at his home
No. 1904 Van Buren, street, under tho al.
most constant care Of two physicians.
Mr.. Smyth, as Is his custom went down
to his store In the morning. He had
crossed the street to buy o paper and
started to return as the CIR left Third
street Thomas Ford was tho motorman
and Elmer Sands, conductor
GFord rang his bell but Mr.. Suyth con.
tinued, evidently not hearing the warn.
Ing. Seeing that the car could not be
stopped the motorman shouted whichM
Smyth heard but not in time to escape.
He was knocked down but did not get
under tho car fender preventing him. He
was dragged however and when picked up
complained Of great pain. An oxamina-
tion disclosed dislOcation Of the right
ankle, three fractured ribs and severe
scalp wounds
These injuries have superinduced pleu-
risy and pneumonia and the result Is that
the physicians cannot yet determine upon
the result Tho patient may recover but
1t cannot be said positively.
Mr.. Symth Is about Go years Of age and
this fact makes his recovery the more
doubtful.
