REPUBLICAN KoMI ATOMS.
George A. Elliott Nominated for
Representative and James D.
Garter for Senator.

The Republican Primary election for
nenrers Of the General Assembly, Levy
Court and the County Convention, to be
held On August s TO Nominate delegates
to the constitutional convention, was held
on Saturday. and like all Republican cleo
tions passed off quietly. Much interest was
shown. but the day was a quiet one. The
total vote in this city was 31S2. The ticket
nominated Is as follows: Senator, James d.
Carter Of Wilmington huDdred; represen-
tatives. George A. Elliott, Wilmington
hundred; Daniel d. Stewart, Red Lion hun
dred; Joseph NJ. Downing, Christiana hun
dred; David p. HutchsoD, Appoqunimnk
hundred; Frank Eiason, 81. Georges hun
dre1: William c. Chandler, White Clay
Creek bundled; James II. Shakespeare,
Mill Creek.
The returns received by the Republican
County Committee are meagre, and there
may be a change in the result of some Of
the legislative nominations. 1t is expected
however, that there will be no change.
For Levy Court commissioners the candi-
dates selected we're: First district John
Lynn; Second district, John J. Gallagher;
Third district, Charles L. Sparks; Fourth
district. ltobert Morrison, and Fifth dis
trict, John W. Denuey. In the First dis
trict John Lynn defeated R. Lewis Arm
strong, the present member of the Levy
Court. 1t was fully expected that Arm
strong would again be named. His defeat
was, therefore, a matter Of surprise to all.
The vote for members Of the Levy Court
FOR the Second and Third districts is the
only one which could be obtained complete.
1t was as follows:

NEW York, Aug. 3.-David Mnod and
Joseph Lerner the fathers Of two of n
party of six cmigrants, who are said to
have been suffocated in the hold of the
German steamship Herman while the lat
ter was lying in the Russian port OF Libau,
on Jan. 2 last, have brought suit for dam.
ages against the owner of the vessel II.
Schuldt, resident Of Flemsburg, Ger
many.
The facts became known on Saturday
through letter Of the lawyers retained
by the unfortunate young mems fathers,
which has been forwarded to the United
States consul at Flemsburg
1t is stated that the six men who per-
ished were among Il party Of fifteen young
emigrants, who had engaged passage by
tho Herman from Libau for Hull Eng
land, and that they met their deaths from
suffocation on one of the alright com
partmcnts Of the steamer in which the
fifteen emgrants had been directed to con-
ceal themselves by the officers Of the YES
sci, to evale tho vigilance Of Russian in
spectors
1t is not stated why the young men
found 1t necessary to hide from the Russian
officials, but according to the statements
made in the letter to the consul it appears
that the steamship officials had informed
tho cmigrants that the Russian officials
would not take more than twenty min
utes to inspect tho ship, whereas three
hours had elapsed before the vessel sailed.
When IA sailor of the vessel, the letter re-
cites went ito reieass the ak men they
were all unconscious. They were hoisted
out Of the hold, and after hours Of hard
work the lives of nine were saved. The
six others never resanod consciousness.
Their bodies wero consigned to the sea.

Powell DOugherty, the IA year old son of
cxChicf Of Police John j. Doughcrty, of
this city, but at present living in Phla-
dclphia, was burned 10 death and it is
feared that Edward Logan and George
Robbins his two companions pcrishod In
the flames.
About II o'clock Saturday night young
Doughcrty, together with Logan and Rob
bins. We're noticed at the lower end of
Elmwood avenue. Robbins was playing
an accordion, whilo young Doughcrty and
Logan kept time to the music by dancing.
1t was after midnight before the fun end
ed, and fearing to return home ut that
hour 1t is believed that the three entered
the asphalt works, where they made their
beds on quantity Of mating.
WatchThan Clark was making his rounds
when he discovered the fire. He turned in
an alarm and when the trcmen of Truck
L and the police of the Twonty-tirst dis
trict arrived on the scene the barn and
asphalt works were one mass of flames.
1t was at first thought that the watchman
Of the works was in tho flames, as he
could not be found; but inquiry revealed
the fact that he had not been around dur
ing the evening
Mother the 1iremen nor the policemen
were aware that young Dougherty Was in
tho burning burn and therefore no effort
was made to save him. When tho father,
John DCughcriy, arrived on the scene and
stuffed that his boy had not returned homo
on Saturday evening, and that he could
not find him, a search was made tor him.
Young Doughcrty had worked on Sat
urlny evening until Il late hour, and he
had gone to the barn to sleep. An unused
crib had been turned into II bed for him
inside the barn to which he rcsorted
when he had to work late at the asphalt
works. 1t is thought he was suifocatcl by
the smoke and afterwards burned in the
flames.
Tie old barn was one of the landmarks
of lower Glcnwood, being over one hun.
drod years of age, and in n good state Of
preservation. The origin of the fire is un.
known, but the theory held is that it was
tho outcome of either carelcssncss or
spontaneous combustion.
