A SAD CASE

Stockton Independent: A Fresno
bride eloped with the bridegroom's
brother just as the honeymoon had
closed, but the husband made no
threats to shoot either of the faithless.
He. big muscular blacksmith, just
wilted before his sixteen -year-old
bride and begged her to return to him
when she and her paramour were
brought back. He didn't even show
anger when she treated him with scorn
and wanted to accompany his brother
TO jail. Now people look upon Harry
Robbie. the husband, as a poltroon, but
if he had killed his brother and his
bride he would have been regarded as
a fiend only fit for lynching When the
injustice of domestic tragedies is con-
sidered it is little wonder that out
ragged husbands behave like maniacs.
WOMAN'S VOTE.
Riverside Echo: The claim so often
made that if women voted they would
all work for prohibitory liquor laws
is not warranted by the facts. Take
Colorado, for instance, where women
as well as men voted in 1896. On a
total Presidential vote of 1s9. .141, only
LII were cast for the prohibition tick

the risk the town was running in having
an inexperienced man as engineer and
said that it was all the more dangerous
as Jackson could not read nor write, con-
scquently in case Of accident could not
tell from the electrical books what to do.
Those who had been onto Wright now
saw that the plant had been mis-managed.
1t is now known by many citizens of
the town that Wright's accounts were
not straight when he left. The COM
mittee appointed to settle with him, found
defiti ,ncy of $640. This caused an up
roar when it became known to the other
councilmen, but Wrights friends tried to
keep it quiet. A secret meeting was
held and Wright was to be present but
failed to appear, but by his brother one
OF his bondsmen sent a check for $40.
And his brother tried to fix the matter
up.
Wright was so worried when he found
his misdeeds were known that a few of
his intimate friends thought he was 60
ing to commit suicide. The same Coun-
Gilman who were so eager to jail another
official who recently appropriated the
towns finances, are now over Jealous in
hiding Wright's crooked work The
bondsmen gave negotiable note due the
26th inst, for the 5000, and the town
Council still holds his bond.
The facts of the case are vainly tried to
be Withheld by Wright's friends, but
without success. At the meeting Of the
town council, J. H. Wilson, of Torres
dale, Pa, was elected Chief Engineer of
the electric plant, 7. Maybrey, who was
elected after Wright's resignation, hav-
ing resigned.

Girls Pass The Plates in Church.

TRENTON, Dec. 1.-THE Rev. Maurice
Penfeld Fixes of the First Baptist
Church has introduced in his church
novel feature in the form of girl ushers.
Last Sunday was the first time that the
experiment was tried. 1t was necessary
to set chairs in the aisles to accom-
modate the crowd. When the girls
started ior the money they got it. When
counted there was nearly $500 to add
to the treasury of the church. The in
novation made by Faster Fixes does not,
however, meet with the approval of his
brother preachers
The Rev. M. p. Fixes was at one time
will known in this city. His wife was

MIDDLErowN, DEL, Dec. Ca Della
warean has become a convert to Mormon
ism.
Two Utah missionaries are working in
this vicinity and though the authorities
of the other churches are bitterly oppos-
ing them, they are nevertheless meeting
with some success. They have been
situated at Armstrong; Corner, village
north of here, at which place they at
tempted to speak in the Chapel Sunday
School, but were not allowed.
About three weeks ago two peculiar
looking characters came to Armstrong;
G )rne r and engaged board.
The night Of their arrival these two
characters gathered crowd together and
made it known that they were Norman
missionaries and were there to promul-
gate their doctrine and to make an ef-
fort to add some converts to their
church.
Day after day, and night after night
they talked and harangued to big crowds.
1t was found that they were creating an
interest among certain people and steps
were taken to break up the meetings.
The attempt did not succeed and in the
face Of it, the Mormons gained a convert.
This convert is Mrs. Thomas Handy,
their boarding mistress.
Yesterday the two missionaries at
tended the services at Armstrong; $
Chapel, Of which the Rev. DR.. Moore is
pastor. Everything was quiet at the
morning service, but the Mormons ap-
peared at Sunday School and said that
they wanted to talk to the children.
The superintendent and the teachers
objected. For awhile the affair had a
serious aspect, but finally the poly
gamists were prevailed upon to leave
the church.
Nevertheless, with their characteristic
rersistency they hung apund the build
ing and spoke to small gathering on
the outside.
At the evening service DR.. Moore took
occasion to severely criticize the Nor
mon doctrines and methods, and tie
two missionaries pcrceiving that the
Christians were going to make it hot fer
them, left during the night.
They are now at Townsend, where
thy will endeavor to hold meetings.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
All Questions of National Importance
Discussed in First Annual Letter.

DlscIsScu Ill flfSt annual letler.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 6.-The
Fifty-ffth Congress is now in session
and the eyes OF the nation are now upon
our National Legislators, watching with
interest the workings of the body which
makes our laws. Little was done to-day
except the reading of the Presidents
message.
The first annual message of President
Mckinley was sent to Congress to-day
and read in both houses. The question
of currency reform was considered at
length as the most important at the pres
ent time. Various plans for the relief OF
the present condition of affairs are
broached and the relations of national
banks to the Government were fully dis
Cussed.
The attitude of the Government to the
Cuban question is set forth in the con-
cluding paragraph of the chapter relating
to the Cuban problem.
''Sure of the right. keeping free from
all offensc ourselves, actuatcd only by
upright and patriotic considerations,
moved neither by passion nor selfshness.
the Government will continue its watch
full care over the rights and property of
American citizens, and will abate none
of its efforts to bring about by peaceful
agencies peace which shall be honor
able and enduring. If it shall hereafter
appear to be duty imposed by our ,b-
legations to ourselves, to civilization and
humanity to intervene with force, it
shall be without fault on our part and
only because the necessity for such ac-
ton will be 50 clear as to command the
support and approval of the civilized
world"
The Hawaiian annexation, the s.:
fisheries, international bimetaisr,
Nicaruga canal, Alaska, Civil Service
Reform, the Pacific railroads and the
recent epidemic of yellow fever in the
South, were treated at length in an ex-
ceptionally able manner

/ AN ELECTRIC COMBINE.
R.John c. Searles a Prominent
1 Figure in the Deal.
TOO BUY EXISTING LINES.
Philadelphia and Washington {" De
Connected BY a System OF
Electric Roads.

An electric railway combine with lines
extending from Philadelphia to Wash
;noton That is the latest sensation IN
railway circles. The movement is oe'ns
worked up quietly and until yesterday
nothing was known in Wilmington
At the head of this project is john "
sear]es, and the fact that he is interested
in the scheme gives it financial slgnlh-
canoe not to be misunderstood.
The plan is to secure control OF the
roads now in operation and to bu'ld COLI
Meeting lines at such points as are neces'
sarv. From Philadelphia to Marcus
Hook electric lines are already in opera
tim and few miles south is the terrhi-
rus of the Gordon-Heights line which
with it's connection reaches New Castle
on one line.
On the other the nearly completed
Brandywine Springs road is terminus
From these points it is extended to ex-
tend lines south probably as far as Wash
;npton, willard Salisbury was seen IN
relation to the matter and said that he
had been approached by a Phllade'phf'
broker a few days ago with PROPOSE
t;on Of this character but that nothing
had resulted therefrom.
OF this particular deal he had heard
rumors but nothing definite.
"If John c. searles is interested IN
such movement, we would very likely
know 1t and should be glad to DO b's''
ness with him."
John c. searlcs was one of the prin-
cipals in the big electric railroad deal
recent]v consulnmated through Scott 4
ca This movement in connection with
the bill which was laid before B. A.
HAZEL last week by R. II. Pain shows
that movement is on foot in financial
circles in Philadelphia tending toward
an electric road combine.
An attempt was made, last evening, to
see President Lea, of the Wilmington
Electric Railway Company concernWs
the matter but he was out OF town.
