duff & Co., who owned nine-twelfths
interest in the leases on the Dyke
farm of 500 acres in the Henderson,
field, closed a deal Thursday with
Theodore Barnsdall, who purchased
their holdings.
He had an option on these leases for
some time, and w. H. Gillespie was
also after the territory. Barnsdall's
option was about to expire when he
closed the deal, Kilduff selling for
$4,000. There are five producing wells
on the property. c. r. Richardson. the
Marietta broker, retains his interest in
the property.
kilograms were received last night
by the Pollock Oil and Gas Company,
which is owned by Wheeling people,
to the effect that their No. 3 Pollock
had tapped the sand and was showing
for a large producer. Owing TO the
heavy gas pressure the well will not
be drilled in until Monday some time.
This is the third well drilled by the
company with good results. What
makes it so valuable is that it only took
eight days to drill it, and besides being
a good Cow Run territory, has a large
Big Injun production. which has al
ready been defined. Mr.. Frank Hail Is

Middletown, Oct. 26. Charles r.
Brown. a farmer living near here, was
held up by highwayman last night
about quarter of mile from his
home. In response to the request to
hand over his valuabes Mr.. Brown
gave the thief $40 in cash and gold
watch and chain. After searching his
victim for anything else of value, tho
thief told Mr.. Brown he might proceed
on his way. Iiurrying across iiald,
Mr.. Brown reached his houss in a few
minutes and secured his gun. Then,
by cutting across the country, he came
out ON the road where tho highwayuIan
was expected TO pass. Tho farmer had
not long to wait. The highwaymsn
came along at IA good gait, whistling,
in evident JOY over his late haul. As
he got opposite Mr.. brown, the latter
stenped out, with the gun TO his
shoulder and told tho thief TO holi M
HIS hands, Tho next order was to hand
over tho money, watch and chain.
This was done quickly. Ho told MIR.
Brown he was hungry and wanted to
get to Philadelphia, where be expected
work, and that was tho reason he at
tempted robbery. Mr.. Brown took pity
on the man and told him to 60.

the nembers present. Almost the solo
object of consideration was the matter
of awarding the contract for grading
the road across Augustine marsh near

dition of the ground, the road settled

grade and TO cover it with oyster shells
William Campbell, who was the
lowest bidder, at 81. AIS, sent a letter
to the court. asking leave TO Withdraw
his bid. saying that he had made an
error in calculation. The court allowed
him to Withdraw his hid.
This action left Patrick Fahey Hs

Schemes or THE FACTIONETS
With Respect to the Union Re-
publican Convention.
REGULARS MAY TAKE A HAND
And Try to Capture Some OF
the Delegates.


This Union Republicans are to hold an
election next Saturday for delegates to
tho State convention which will be held
by that faction Of the party at Dovor
d week from to-day. Az the matter
ia onesiued very little interest is beine
takan In tho delegate election. and some
of the Union leaders arc very much
worried about making good showing
at the polls. many in the rank and file
being Of the impression that the voters
arm simply 10 cast their ballnts for a
slate III which they really haye no
voice and Ito not caro- 10 have any.
Therefore, they do not propose to exert
themselves to any great extent to turn
out anil vote.
This phaee of thu matter has put an
iliea into tho heads of sumo Of the
Regular Republicans, who are now
sGheming to elect splne OF their own
men az delegates TO the convention. AS
far as known, tho "big guns have not
taken an active hand in the movement,
and how well it will succeed is mat
ter Of conjecture.
Sons Of tho Regulars, knowing that
many OF the Unions are lukewarm in
tho matter OF voting at the approaching
election, several days ago hegan TO lay
plans TO capture tho convention, hut
after some acheming and Breculating
on tho result, they have undoubtedly
given up the idea OF attempting such
extensive inrOada into the Addicks
camp, hut. unless present plans fail
absolutely, the followers of the gss
man Will find some traitors in their
midst when they assemble for the love
feast ut Dover
1t is UNDERSTOOD that tine Union
lenders will take the preraution ia
select the candidates for delegates in
most Of tho election districts, and il
this plan is followed throughout the
state tho Regulars will havo little show.
There is probability, however, that
| il there is the slightest chance of elect.
ing anyhuhy the latter will not let the
opportunity sip
Several conferences OF Regulars have
hem held IN this county and the
matter has been talked over, hut the
Uniunists have had their eyes on their
follow Republicans, and nearly every
move on one side has been correctly In
ternreted by the other
When it became apparent that there
was no possible hope of capturing the
convention, some of the Regulars
thought that II would be we'll il there
was any way possible, to get few
delegates in order to kick up dis
sension, il for nothing else. 1t has been
limited that overturea have been made
To some of the Union Republicans who

In Philadelphia, on Friday, a man
named George McGregor, who bad been
convicted of felonious assault upon
girl Of fourteen years, whom DO attacked
upon the public highway near Brides
burg, was sentenced TO ten years in the
penitentiary. The Philadelphia North
American commends the sentence 40
justly severe, and says: "There ia no
question OF the necessity for rating
feloniouH assault crime OF first mag.
nitude, in most respects equivalent to
murder. In this instance the victim is
girl of tender years, and hor life may
he wrecked. But whether that proye
true or not, the crime involved murder.
Nobody douhts that misrreunt Of the
McGregur stripe would kill his victim
under certain circumstances. Let the
penal code he amended SO aa TO make
such assaults capital crime, the punish
ment to be not less than life imprison,
mont, and in aggravated cases death. y
In Delaware the penalty for this crime
is death, and theTe has never been a
suggestion here that il was TOO severe.
In TACT, the prevalence OF tho horrid
crime elsewhere is an argument ID
favor of Other States than Delaware
adopting the death penalty.
