The New Castle hundred executive
committee met in the Town Hall We'd
nesday evening in response to a call by
the chairman, John II. Rodney, Esq,
for the purpose Of selecting one member
from each district and one at large, to
serve as members OF the executive COM
mittee of the Democratic party. On
motion of Mr.. John Campbell the old
rule was adopted by which five members
OF the meeting were chosen to retire and
select its committee who should serve in
the coming campaign. The members
chosen were Charles Shearer, Patrick
McGrory, Thomas Hocomb, George W.
Eckles and John J. Sheridan. The names
presented by this committee, and which
were accepted and who comprise the
hundred committee are George W.
| Eckles, Northern district; Charles
Shearer, Eastern; Patrick McGrory,
Western, and l.. +. Eliason, Southern.
r. M. Morrison was chosen delegate at

chairman.
There is much complaint made by the
New Castle patrons of the electric road,
relati"" the .company's running open
cars and making no provision for re-
placing them, during stormy weather,
by the close cars. Ladies are compelled
to sit upon the wet seats of the summer
cars and be exposed to the rain beating
in from all directions.
On Monday next the members Of the
Andrew J. Gallagher Senate B. B. Club
will cross bats with the ''duPont Greys"
OF Wilmington, at what IS left of Battery
Park.
1t is rumored that new industry will
soon start in New Castle under the
auspicies of the U. S. Government for
the manufacturing and shipment of pro-
jectiles. Temporary buildings will be
erected and the land leased This will
probably give employment to about 1000
men.
