For Sheriff-john e. Taylor.
Per coroner-A D. VaHdeveFs
| Fur Recorder Of Deeds-DeIaware Clark.

Now that the dispute In regard to the
election resurns Of the Republican csndi-
dates for sheriff has bsen aInicably settled
and the protests Of candidates Mcdaniel
sud stiaham Withdrawn, the election Of
the whole Republican ticket in November
should be assured. The candidates had
the good Of the Republican party at heart
and instructed their respecti attorneys
TO withdraw their pro ests and rally the
nomination OF candidate John E. Taylor.
By this action they endorsed the honesty
Of The Republican Inspectors who held
the nomination election on Saturday last.
The only thing to be regretted Is that the
Dominee was not given his certificate OF
election on Monday last Be that as 1t
may, all Is we'll that ends well. The pros.
paot Is nav that every candidate on the
Republican ticket In Now Castle county
will b, cleo: ed by good majority. If
contest bad been made and the ballot boxes
opened, it would have established bad
precedent and like Banquo's ghost ever
after refused to down. while the people
would hive become disguised, no matter
who would havo been declared nominated.
The cry would have gone up that cheating
WIS resorted to and the men who Ii ave not
yet registered would have refused to do 30
and vote. Now that there is perfect har.
,nony in the party, every Republican can
bavo heart to turn out and vote for the
whole ticket on election day. T1cro was
no desire, We are certain, on he pat of
either candidates Stldham Or Mcdaniel or
their friends to cheat Mr.. Taylor out of Tho
nomination and the withdrawal of their
protests yesterday shows that palmer han
any words Of ours can convey. There is
one thing certain and that Is hat only one
candidate could hope to be successful aud
obtain the nomination. The margin was
. small one, still jaime, Martin was eecte
sheriff Of New CtsClo county by only nine
minority over Pu nellJ. Lynch. Tho Re.
publicans have done nobly.

LOADED WITH DIAMONDS.
Woman Called Into Court to Show
Why She Should Not Pay Taxes.

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Isaac
Emerson, one of the wealthiest women in
Baltimore, was before the Appeal Tax Court
yesterday a summons to show cause why
her diamonds, reputed to be worth SIS, co.,
should not be assessed and taxed. The
Emerson mansion, near Druid Hill Park
was entered by thief about a month ago
He stole some of Mrs. Emersons diamonds
but was captured and the gems recovered
The statement then made that Mrs. Emer-
son had diamonds valued at 5000 led the
tax officials to investigate. When she APP
peared before the court yesterday her hands
Il blaze of diamonds and she wore a
magnificent diamond brooch at her throat.
Judge Hill stated that Mrs. Emerson had
told the newspaper reporters that her dia-
monds We're worth $25 Zoo. The lady denied
that she had placed value on her jewels
in telling the reporters of the robbery. She
said that her husband gave her the da-
monds and she did not know their value.
She was sworn and testified that she wore
all her jewelry at least twice a week and
half OF 1t every day She did not keep II
in IL bank vault. Judge Hull remarked that
1t did not seem possible to wear $4,000
worth of jewels regularly. Then Mrs. EN-
efSon'S eyes nlled with tears and she in
sisted tnat she knew number OF ladies'
who wore jewels to that value. Her coun
sci commended that the law provided that
diamonds and Jewelry habitualy worn were
exempt from taxation. He quoted Web
sters and the Century dictionaries to show
that "habitually' did not mean continually
and all the time, but custOmarily and as q
matter OF practice. Decision was reserved.

report with the county auditor. The tax

nor steal has been perpetrated on them.
The report of the experts shows that there
is due the county $7.S4337 but nearly half
of this sum was paid to the county officers
in good faith by the commissioners as
salary. This overpayment of salary was due
to the change of the law governing Off
GERS salaries during the first half of the
year 1895, when the Supreme Court set
aside the law of 1891. The officers of this
county then drew their salaries under the
law of 1879, and continued TO do so until
the Supreme Court reversed its opinion. In
the opinion of the experts the payment of
salaries made by the commissioners ac-
cording to the law of 1879 was illegal, hence
