Runaways seem to be the rule of the
week, another occurring last night on
the bluff. Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall Hill,
Mrs. Thomas, who is Mrs. Hills moth
er, and Miss Bertha Hill, of Dry Hollow,
were on their way home from prayer
meeting with Mrs. Collins, her daughter
and Carrie Robertson, who had gotten
in to ride as far as their residence near
the fair grounds, when the horses became
unruly and ran for short distance. M r
Hill succeeded in getting them stopped
in front of A. A. Browns, when they
began to kick. Some of the ladies jumped
out, and Mrs. Thomas was thrown onto
the brake, injuring her wrist quite
severely and otherwise shaking her up.
1t is not known how badly she is hurt,
but it is not thought seriously only the jar
may prove too much for woman of heI
years. The remainder of the party were
hnot harmed, so far as we can learn. The
tongue of the wagon was split into
pieces, but no other damage caused to
the rig.

General Wilson's Speech.

The Toronto World startled Canadians
on Thursday with an: editorial warning
them Of the imminent danger OF the alb
sorption o. Canada by the United States.
This editorial, the World frankly says,
was inspired by the speech of General
James H, Wilson in Macon, Ga, the
other day, in which General Wilson ex-
pressed the hope that he "would see the
day when our starry flag shall float
everywhere from the frozen North to the
sunny cline of Central America" The
World believes that General Wilson's
speech expresses the sentiment of "a
great number of Americans" which will
increase as time goes on, to the great
danger of the present Canadian semi-in-
dependence. In view of the suddenness
with which the face of things has been
changed in the past few months, the
alarm of this Canada editor is not wholly
inexplicable; but he must not take Gen
eral Wilson's speech too seriously. See
ing that the General was not content
with giving expression to that magnifi-
cent hope, but actually named the date
for its realization as before the close of
Mr.. McKinley's next term as President,
it is fair to suppose that his talk was
quite as much the result of the good
dinner which he had just eaten as Of
deliberate thought.

EVERY Delawarean should cherish the
memory of that hero who was laid at
rest in the West Point burying ground
yesterday. Clarke Churchman was the
univ Delawarean who died fighting at
the front during the recent war. Refus-
ing to remain in the hospital. to which
he had been ordered, the young lieu
tenant bravely marched up San Juan
Hill at the head Of his platoon. He
faced death against the will Of his COM
mander, but he considered h gher
command at that time; he held to the
pleadings of country which he loved.
Clarke Churchman fills hero's grave
and his native State mourns the loss OF
such noble son.

THE opinion that no matter how great
may be the emergency man will be
raised up for the occasion was never
more clearly exemplifed than in the case
OF Hon. William r. Day, who SO recently
presented to the President the report OF
the work of the Peace Commission. Had
the selection of Secretary of State to
serve during the conduct of war with a
foreign nation been left to the people or
Congress there is little likelihood that
Mr.. Day would have been chosen. Some
OF the more well known of the statesmen
OF the country would have been placed
in that position, and the same would
have been true as to the choice of a head
for commission which was to pass upon
such difficult problems as have been be-
fore the late Peace Commission. It has
been thus all during our history as ma
tlon. In the very beginning, when we
were throwing off the yoke of foreign
rule, a Washington was furnished us.
When civil war threatened the life of the
nation, the known statesmen of the
country were set aside for the compare
lively unknown rail-spliter. The great
generals ct the army gave way for the
tanner Of Galena, and now, again, the
statesmen and diplomats of the United
States have yielded to the country law
yer, and yet no one says he was not the
man for the times and the work.

COOP morning! Do you buy in Will
mington?

A CALIFORNIA jury has found Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin guilty of numbering Mrs.
J. P. Dunning and Mrs. Joshua Deane,
of Dover. As result of this verdict the
convicted woman will spend the rest of
her life behind the prison bars.
The decision of the twelve men on the
Botkin jury is supposed to be the result
of truthful consideration of the evil
dence in the case. However, there is
but one thing to be done-abide by the
decision of the jury.
Yet while this unfortunate woman
languishes in the prison dungeon, pay
ing the penalty of a life of dissipation,
her companion in dissipation, if not in
crime, walks freely over the country.
John P. Dunning, whose encouragement
offered Mrs. Botkin is indirectly the
cause of her downfall, is beyond the
clutches of the law. Dunning is dis
graced and dshonored OFT of his own
mouth and should be Stunned by all
honest people. Unfaithful to the wife
he had vowed to love and honor, this
man proved faithless to his companion
in revelfy and dissipation. Cordelia
Botkin may be guilty woman but John
P. Dunning is responsible for her de-
praved condition.
Justice is remarkably swift in Cali
fornia. Less than two hours were re.
quired by the jury to decide Mrs. Bot
kin's fate and ere another half hour had
passed she had begun her term of life
imprisonment. We mead California
juries in Delaware. Juries then will not
allow prejudice to interfere with the
honest consideration of the testimony
given in trial.

EXCEEDINGLY CLEVER WORK
Unfortunate Persons Have Money
Stolen and the Same Was RecOy-
cred by Detective Witsil.

During the holiday season State De-
tective Walter Witsil has been busiel
than most people would suppose, ano
has had marked success in the ma jority
of cases which he has had in hand.
Last Saturday evening Miss Bertha
Weldon, lady clerk of the Wilmington
Candy Company, visited a friend III
South Wilmington.
At the house were several young men
and young women.
Miss Weldon laid her pocketbook con.
tanning two weeks salary and some small
change on the piano and went into an
other room.
On her return to take her pocketbook
she found to her CONSERVATION that il
was gone.
One young nan in the company threw
open his coat and declared that he did
not have it and the other guests present
declared their ignorance OF the where
abouts OF the missing purse.
Thursday Miss Weldon consulted Mr..
WItsll, who told her that she had kept
the matter long time but that he would
do the best he could for her. In less than
ten hours Miss Weldon's purse and con-
tents were restored to her and the matter
was said to be a joke on the young
woman.
One OF the young men wLo was pres
ent at the house when the purse was
missed was Mr.. Guild, who resides at
Turner's boarding house. Sixth and
Market streets, and Mr.. Guild was un-
fortunate enough to be suspected and
the matter went so far as to be reported
on the streets.
Mr.. Guild was terribly worried over
the matter and assisted Detective Witsil
in every manner possible to secure the
missing property. He was innocent of
the theft and was terribly worked up
over the matter and it is to be hoped
that those who have been SO industrious
in spreading the report against him will
be equally active in refuting the charge.
The young man who took the purse is
anxious that his name should not be
known and confessed to taking the purse
and contents, but declared that it was
done in the way of joke
Mr.. Guild is now satisfied and holds
no resentment against those who SO as
sdously circulated the report that he
took the money, and he is also firm be-
lever in the skill of Detective Walter
Witsil.
Letter Carrier oliver, who recently
took unto himself wife, met with the
misfortune recently of having his pocket.
book containing all of his money stolen.
The theft mystified all who heard of it
and finally the case was given to Detec-
tive Witsil to unravel and in few hours
the purse and contents were restored to
Mr.. OLIVER. The thief in this case
proved to be a small boy, whose name it
is thought best to keep from the public
at present.
