the lie was passed but no blows struck.
The city had been actively canvassed
by all three candidates, and as result
the voters turned out in full force. The

the election. and the water ticket won.
A total of l44 yotos were cast, of which

STATE TREASURY EMpry.,1
No Money to Pay tho Members of the Con
stItutionai Convention.

stItutionai Convention.
Dover, April ). because the funds
OF the Treasury are running low, State
Treasurer William NJ. Ross. acting on
the advice OF his counsel ex- Chancellor
Wolcott, has refused to pay the orders
of the Constitutional Convention. The
law under which the convention is
meeting provides that the bills ehall be
paid on orders of the president. The
first bills Of the convention were small,
and Mr.. Ross had the orders paid at the
Farmers Bank here as if they were
checks.
The bills of the convention and of
the General Assembly have, however,
hecome heavy drain on the Treasury.
There is less than s3, 600 to the credit
OF the general fund. Recently 20 mem
bers OF the convention got orders for
$500 each on account of salaries. When
half of these orders were paid Mr.. Ross
concluded that it would be unwise to
overdraw the State account, and pay
ment was stopped.
Unless the General Assembly shall
provide for the payment of the delegates
the latter mustSwait until the Treasury
is recuperated. The Assembly may
borrow the money from the school fund.

Desperate Tramps Almost Take Possession
of That Town &

of That Town. x
| Special Correspondent OF Gazette and journal
Harrington, April G. 6.-Tramps and
desperadoes almost took possession Of
| this town yesterday afternoon, and had
it not been for the prompt action Of
Constable Albert Harrington and Town
Bailif John W. Paris, there is no
telling how much CONSERVATION would
have ensued among the people.
A party of tramps, numbering at
least a dozen, arrived here on foot and
on freight trains early yesterday morn
ing, and congregated near the station.
As soon as daybreaK arrived they split
up into twos and throes and started
though the town, some of then asking
for food. others demanding it. and
other making requests and even de-
mands for money. Some of the house,
wives, who were alone complied with
thu demands OF the tramps, fearing the
result Of a refusal but others, more
brave, declined to yield TO their demands
and were roundly abused Finally
late in the afternoon. word was sent to
the town authorities, and Constable
Harrington and Bailiff Paris started
out in pursuit of the miscfeants They
found one detachment of three of the
tranps and they showed fight. After
desperate resistance, IN which Parrls
was SO roughly handled that medical
aid was necessary to staunch the fow of
blood and bandage the wounds In his
head, the men were subdued and car
ried to Dover on the first train going
north.
Dover, April G. Constable Harring-
ton and Bailif Paris of Harrington,
arrived here on the train due at 8. 23,
baving in charge James Gibson, John
McCaulley and Hermann Finck who
were arrested in Harrington during the
afternoon. When tho officers approached
the men they showed fight and Bailiff
Paris was badly cut about the head.
Gibson was only released from Jail
about two weeks ago, having Undergone
a sentence of six months for assault.
He is desperate character, and the in
dictment found formerly was assault
with attempt to kill, but the court at
the suggestion of counsel accepted the
lesser plea. This time the charge of
assault with attempt to kill will no
doubt be pressed and Gibson will re-
ceive the full penalty for his offence.
When the prisoners arrived in Dover
they were hustled into wagon,
securely tied together, and in this man :
ner driven from the station to the Jail.
followed by large crowd.
