There Is more catarrh in this sec
ton of country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
iucurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it Il local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address

MILFORD Del, Jan. Thomas Hook, a
wcll-known married man OF tins town,
assaulted with intent to kill, Minnie
Allen, a colored girl aged eighteen.
Hook was irenzied with drink at the
time and shot the girl three times. She,
however, escaped injury in peculiar
manner.
The three shots struck her corset steclS
and her life was thus saved. The excite
ment is intense.
1t is said that Hook has been quite in
innate with the Allen woman for some
time and the outcome OF his intimacy Is
this deed caused by jea lousy.
This morning Hooks in drunken
condition went to a hardware store here
and bought a double acting 30 caIlbre re.
volver and proceeded to the home OF
Lizzie Thorn, colored, where Minnie
Allen boarded.
Lizzie Thorn came tn the door, and
when she saw the condition in which
Hook was, she Immediately closed the
door. Hook began bombardment OF
the place and repeatedly threatened to
kill anyone who intcrfcred in keeping
him from seeing the Allen girl
lie finally got inside and went to
Mnnic'S room. For some time all was
uuiet and then the other inmates of the
house were startled to hear the report
Of pistol. and the screams OF q woman.
Several persons rushed to the scene
and it was learned what the trouble
was. Hook and the Allen woman had
ularrllcd, and he had fired three times
at her. one shot took effect in the fore
arm of the woman, and the others were
turned from their course by the steeIs in
her corSc'.
After the attempt Hook placed the
pistol to his head and was just about to
blow ont his brains when Lis many
friends who had gathered prevented
him.
Hook then ran out Of the house and
the Allen woman was cared fnr.
Chief Of Police Ward was notified of
the attempted murder, and Il search was
at once instituted.
Late this evening Chief Ward and
Constable Ross found Hook and he was
arrested and brought before Magistrate
Cullen and given hearing. The Allen.
woman appeared against hlm and charg
ed him with assault. He was held in
5000 bail for appearance at court.
Hook is well-knoWn man in this
town and it is said that some sensation

Druinmers Favor ScalDing.

New York, Jan. 3.-Thc Commercial
Advertiser says P. f. Dove. president
of the Commercial Travellers National
League, said today that this organization
is prepared on the reconvening Of Con-
gress to vigorously oppose the Anti
Scalping bill now before that body. This
bill prohibits the sale OF railroad tickets
by any one except the authorized agent
of railroad company. Mr. Dove dis
claims any connection between his Or
ganization and the scalpers, saving the
League will not oppose any legislation
directed against the business of scalping.
Neither the word "scs.lper' nor broker
occurs in any Of the bills passed by the
Legislatures of ten States, or in the bill
pending before Congress. He thinks the
bill, if passed, will be prelude to gen.
eral advance in passenger rates all over

George V. Massey and James l.. Wal.
colt Have Drafted Il Bill That
Must Go Through.
special to THE Sun.

| SIGclal 10 HE sun.
DOVER Del, Jan. 3.-On Tuesday next
the Legislature will meet here in ad-
journed session.
/ The battle of the term will be over the
proposed general corpora, ion act.
| There will be ne hulf-hearted work
done in this matter.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
means to have Il bill passed which has
been drafted by George Y. Massey and
James L. WaIcott or none at all. If the
Massey-Walcott measure can't be passed
there will be no General Corporation
Act this session.
This Massey-Walcott measure pre-
cludes the possibility of a charter ever
being granted to an opposition railroad,
and 1t means the death Of the proposed
electric road from Claymont to Delmar
and Georgetown. The exact provisions
of this bill cannot be given at this time,
but the agents of the road and the friends
of the bland Massey and the able Wal
colt are hard at work pulling into line
those members who can be persuaded.
notwithstanding the lively interest cent
ering around the proposed new charter
for the city of Wilmington, the general
corporation act will be the real bone Of
contention, and with that out Of the
way the city charter will be left to the
tender mercies of those most interested
in it.
The Legislature can take up general
II mess and numerous bills will be con-
sdcrcd. The interest here in the pro-
,rt, ,l ,,f,r
fined to the small fry. The politicians
who are discussing the many proposed
cIangcS.
The amended Rossel charter, which
proposes Il nOn-partisan city government,
Is Elccting with some favor, and de-
tprnincd effort will be made to have it
passed.
One proposition is to elect City Coun-
clmcn by legislative districts, three from
each Of the five districts. The voters
under this plan are to vote for two can
didates from one party and one from
the other to secure minority representa-
liou in each district. 1t is also propos-
cd to have the city government divided
into four bureaus, police, highways, re-
ceipts and disbursements and assess
mcnts, two of the heads to be Democrats
and two Republicans, all together to
have the appointments.
The Legislature will also consider pro-
posed changes in the ballot laws, a re-
vision Of the Adams law taxing invest
ments that has caused SO much trouble,
and the change OF the Registration and
election laws.
Tho man bnrs do MT oppnor tn know
yet Just how the business of the season
will be in. One plan is as soon as the
session meets to appoint committee Of
LAWYERS who are to decide what is necrs-
Sarv under the new constitution then
for the Ii gislaturr to adjourn and await
their report. Leading members, ihclud-
ing Senator Pyle, are said to be opposed
to his suggestion, and it is probable tha,
