number of ticket brokers throughout the
country confirming the statement made
by him at the previous meeting OF the
committee. that the brokers secured 70
per cent. of the tickets sold by them from
the railroad companies.

spond. but he did not want. TO break

During this campaign a few consp!ra-
tors. pretended Republicans, not giving
heed to the lawfully will OF
vast majority of their party, sought In
every section OF the State TO defeat the
legislative nominees Of the Republican
party. Overwhelmed and defeated by
your ballots, they have since consorted
with your ersemes for the purpose Of de-
feating your WILL solemnly expressed nj

shown that they do not love the great

All that Is dear to them is personal re-

had been received by the Democratic
leaders from John r.. Mclean. requesting
that his name be kept out of the sena-

to agree upon a candidate for senator to
defeat Mr. Hanna.
While there was no positive confirma-

tanned some truth.
Hon. Henry II. Redkey, representative

The usual number of innovations and

JURY COULD NOT AGREE,
Case of O'Neill Against Life Insurance
Clearing Company Will Have to Be
Tried Again-Session Is Over.

In United States circuit court yes
terday all the cases were disposed of
and last night the court adjourned to
meet here q year hence.
Yesterday morning Judge Burlington
charged the jury in the case of Thomas
Gaughan against the Delaware and
Hudson Canal company. Some time
later it. brought in verdict awarding
$3.50 to the plaintiff. An appeal VIII
ne taken to the United States court of
Appeals.
After the Gaughan case went to the
jury, the suit of James O'Neill, of
Pittston, against the Life Insurance
Clearing company of st. Paul, Mimi,
was called. The plaintiffs father was
insured by the defendant company,
the face of the policy being $4,000. 1t
was a graded policy by the terms of
which the heirs of the holder OF the
policy was to receive certain amounts
if he lived until given periods after
the policy was issued. In September,
1895. Patrick O'Neill the insured, fell
and sustained injuries from which he
lied.
The company Is willing to pay ST.
206 20, the amount that it alleges the
policy called for at the time of death.
On the part of the plaintiff il was con-
tended that there was an accident
clause attached to the policy by the
terms OF which the company bound it
self to pay $4,000, the full face value
of the policy if death was due to an
accident. The accident clause. the
plaintiff testified, was attached to the
policy, but was not produced. He said
it was lost in some manner.
The defense absolutely denied that
there was an accident clause attached
to the policy and to refute the plain
tiff's testimony put Miss Sara Spang-
ier Of st. Paul, on the stand. Until
March l she was in charge of the issu-
ing of policies in the home office in st.
Paul. Her testimony that there was
no accident clause attached to the pol
icy was supported by the books of the
company, which she produced.
The plaintiff was represented by At
torneys John II. Lenahan, of Wilkes
Barre, and C. Frank Bohan, of Pitts
ton. Attorney NJ. w. Lowry appeared
for the company.
Judge Burlington instructed the jury
that in any event it was to find for the

ported that it could not agree and was
discharged.

Those who may be inclined to maneu-
yer with the returns or the ballots on
November are not likely to be fined
by the Court.
The new constitution provides severe
punishment for election crimes.
There can be no crime committed
against the ballot when the election
officers are true to themselves, their
country and their God. But to the ever
lasting glory of the State, be it said the
Courts of Delaware, as now constituted,
are absolutely beyond the reach of all
completely in such crimes as those COM
mitted two years ago.
The Judges, each one and all of them,
are above reproach. The high ideal of
the Judges and Courts is to-day approved
and maintained by the Superior Court,
of Delaware.
Before this bar of justice and this high
court of law, let the bribe-giver and the
bribe.taker be dragged and punishment
meted out to them as shall be deemed
wise by the Court.
Let every election officer take this to
himself and if he is aware of any crime
that is to be committed against the ballot
he will only be doing his sworn duty by
lodging information against all men who
have any completely in such crimes.
