A SAD ACCIDENT /!
p. W. Doelle Falls Down an Elevator Shaft
at Muskegon and Is Almost
Instantly Killed.

Phillip w. Doelle, well known in
Yale, met with terrible fate on the
evening of March 4th, 1898, at Muske-
gon, Mich. He was employed in q
drug store in that city, and by some
fatality fell down an elevator shaft,
striking on his head on the cement
floor, fracturing his skull. When taken
up he was still alive, but unconscious,
and lived only 10 minutes after the
accident.
PM was in business here for several
years and was quite a popular young
man and well liked by everybody for
his kindly heart and social qualities.
About years ago he moved his busi-
mes to Worthwhile and was recently
married to young lady of that place.
lie was somewhat unfortunate in his
business there, and secured situation
in Muskegon in u Wholesale drug house
in that city and was only In his new
position two days when the sad acct
dent happened which ended so tragic
ally. He leaves wife, still in North
Vile. His father and mother live here
and are well known citizens. His
brother Herman is in business in Yale
and he has several brothers and sisters
who all mourn the sad end of son and
brother. The Expositor's sympathies
go out to the mourning family.

L. w. Springs Robbed.

The residence of L. William Springs,
of Brenford, was entered on Saturday
night between 10 o'clock and daybreak
Sunday morning, and two watches and
$12 IN money taken. Strange to say
there are no signs where the burglars
made the entrance. All the windows
seemed to be fastened tightly and the
door, locked. 1t is presumed that they
made their entrance by a skeleton key.
When inside they did not disturb any
thing down stairs, but crept stealthily
to the bed chamber of Mr.. Springs.
While he was lying there asleep, the
burglars went to his clothes, went
through them, taking $12 dollars from
the trouser pockets. They then in
stigated search about the room and
succeeded in getting a lady's gold
hunting case watch with the initial
letter IS" on the outside, belonging
to Mrs, Springs and nickle watch be-
longing to w. Lee Springs, her
son.
Nothing else was apparently distur-
bed and the thieves left his bed cham
ber and the residence without leaving
any signs of burglarizing, not even a
burnt match. 1t is quite evident that
whoever made the theft knew and had
their plans well outlined, and it is this
that makes Mr.. Springs believe the
work was done by local thieves. There
have been several robberies in the vi
cinity lately. Mr.. Springs is anxious
to break it up and we understand has
offered to pay reward for the capture
OF the party or parties concerned.

THE political condition has about
settled down in Delaware for the cleo
ton q month hence-a very little job
that has apparently been of considera-
BILE magnitude, as looked at by some par
ties. The Democrats have their trou
bles growing out of Financial ques-
tions, but the Republicans had graver
matters in the shape of two tickets in
two of the counties. This trouble was
avoided in New Castle county, where
either faction could really have defeat
ed the other, by tactily agreeing to ac-
cept the candidate without regard to
faction, which could poll the largest
vote at the Primary. In Kent and Sus-
sex they went directly the opposite of
this, but could claim a few hundred
votes in the last named county. In
SUSSEX the factions have H'gOt to-
gether" however, as announced in the
papers, and will have only one ticket.
They all feel the better for the result.
The present conditions in Kent county
is that the Regulars" have made q
proposition to fuse with the Demo
Gratis, though the warmest friends Of
Mr.. Addicks now say there is no possi
bility of his being elected a senator
They cannot abide Mr.. Addicks in the
party, but seemingly can swallow Mr.
Kenney with a relish. What is thu
barrier now that Mr.. Addicks is to re
main a simple citizen, is not apparen
in the party sense, but it look as if Mr.
Dupont would yet put some of hi
postmasters and others in hole befor

OUR NATIONAL. BANK PRESIDENT.
w. II. Janney, Cashier, Made DIRECTOR
and Elected to the Presidency
Other Officers
Elerfed

Since the lamented death of David j.
for twenty years the presl-
dent of the National Bank OF Smyrna,
the Board of Directors of that lnstltu--
tion have been taking much time and
deliberation in the choice OF a presl-
dent to fill the vacancy. Each week
when the board met the subject was
discussed among themselves but no ac-
ton was taken. There were many
rumors afoat concerning probable
candidates, but nothing official. Last
Thursday afternoon at the Director s
meeting, the matter was very wisely
settled by making the cashier OF the
bank-Mr. w. III. Janney-a director,
and electing him to the presidency OF
tie A&sS Sfsdt@ofS-~ Mr.. Janney has been
a valuable official of ofkh&institutlon Tor
twelve years and during that TING has
always had its best interests near and
dear to his heart. He has had VIDE
experience in the banking business
and during his connection with the
National Bank of Smyrna has acquired
a complete knowledge OF its aftalrs anu
is possibly better acquainted Win Ine
methods used blythe late preSluen5'
than any man they could have selected.
The choice is looked upon as wise
one on all sides and under his admins
tration the affairs of this well-known
| institution will doubtless keep pace
| with the advancement it has been max
ing to serve the wants OF its patrons.
| After the election above lndlcated'
the Board of Directors made MT: Eu-
gene Davis, teller, the cashier OF the
bank to fill the vacancy caused oy " the
advance of Mr.. Janney, and Mr.. Wal
ton M. Busteed, the bOOkkeeper, was
made teller in the place of Mr.. Davis:
There was no bookkeeper elected and
It is hardly probable that this will be
| done at present President Janney
will still remain an active official IL
the bank and the work will be SO ar
ranged among the three that the busi
ness my be accomplished with as lit.
tie friction as possible.

THE late events in China show the
the deceptions that exists, or at least
has to be practiced as between the
rulers and the people. The emperor
of that great country always lives In
mystery; there is no affinity between
the governing family and the masses,
and the latter never know what to be-
lieve. 1t was known that something
had happened to the emperor, but
whether forced out of the way by his
mother, as Dowager Queen, strong
woman; or whether he had committed
suicide or been murdered, is still un-
known to the most of the empire. Pa
triotism is an unknown quantity in the
sense of making great sacrifices for the
nation, and if China becomes a prey to
the rapacity of European nations in
hunt of more territory, it will not be
surprising. The great powers each
want big slice.

Kent County Superior Court Orders the
Vote of 1896 Recanvassed.

The Superior Court Monday directed
the, members of the last board of can
yass in Kent county to meet on Oc-
tober II and canvass and tabulate the
vote cast in the last election. The
court will receive the returns on Oc-
tober II.
While the canvass will not result in
any advantage to the men who were
elected to Office, but failed to receive
the offices to which they were elected,
it will be the greatest argument for
change i'll the government of the State
which has yet been made. The can
vass will show that in the last election
ten members of the constitution con
vention were elected by the Republi
cans in Kent county of whom but five
were seated; that seven representatives.
and one State Senator were elected by
the same party, none of whom were
ever seated, that several members OF
the Levy Court were elected by the
Republicans none of whom including
sheriff and coroner respectively did not
receive their offices.
The Democrats thought that they
would be able to keep the vote from
ever being canvassed, but in this they
have not been successful. 1t may be
that the Democrats there will try some
new plain, but the court appears de-
termined that the case shall be dis
posed of.
The ordered issued by the court
| Monday is q peremptOry writ and II
the members of the board of canvass
fail to obey it they will be liable tc
punishment for contempt of court. Ii
is the second peremptory writ ever is
sued in the State, the other being the
one issued in Kent county to compel
registration officers to restore names
which had been stricken off
The Democrats offered no objection
to the writ being issued. The Who'll,
session of court lasted less than fif
teen minutes. The court will place
Republican sheriff, coroner and count.
treasurer in office for one month, bu
nothing else will be accomplished be
yond the moral effect which is pro

WILMINGTON, and we might say the |
whole State, was in mourning for the
loss Of its distinguished citizen, Hon.
Thos. F. Bayard, as was manifest at
the funeral Obsequies at old Swedes
church, Saturday afternoon, where
rest the ashes of his distinguished an
cestry. 1t was the proper respect
which becomes the citizens OF a State
united to those of a nation, to the life
of a kiHd-hearted American gentleman.
In his deameanor toward men of all
sorts and conditions there was some
thing Of the mingled dignity and grace
that are by tradition associated with
the chivalric name he bore. His per-
sonality was winning; his constant at
titude was one of appeal, as an almost
feminine nature appeals, for approba-
ton, esteem, the good opinion of all
around him. Intellectually he was
built for sunshine rather than
storm. Morally, his long career in
public as well as private, was beyond
the shadows that dim, in a certain
sense, the lives of SO many public
men.
Mr.. Bayard's early life did not indi-
cate brilliancy, nor the success that at
tended his later years. To large
number of persons this was attributed
to the high place carved in statecrafi
by an ancestry running back to the
early days of the Nation, but while
this may have been a great help, h,
had the undoubted qualities that were
capable of growth and expansion
These, with his industry and high re
gard for character, gave him the plac'
that he had fairly won for distinguish
&c ability at home, in the councils o
the Nation, and as Ambassador +
England.
There are those who remember hi
first political speeches in Smyrna, be
fore the Civil War. Itwas the speeche
of that t;aae that caused the remar
that he travelled on his fathers repr
tazion. but for quarter of centur
or more his pablo speeches we're chai
acterixed by an impressiveness of mai
ner that gave him great weight wit

The war with Spain was little more
than twice seven weeks in duration,
vet seven weeks have elapsed between
the signing of the Protocol and the
meeting of the Commissioners in Paris
to conclude the conditions of peace.
How long it will take to reach con-
clusion remains to be seen, but it is
hoped soon. There is not likely to be
much difficulty over the Spanish pos
sessions in this country, but the rub
will be over the Philippine Islands.
