Folk at City Hall--.Charitable
Societies at Work.
One of the most commendable good
deeds in the way Of Christmas presents
is the plan that will be carried into
effect by Sunshine Circle of Kings
Daughters.
The Circle was given possession of the
Municipal Court room and have placed
in it large Christmas tree, which they
have trimmed with profusion of mic
macs and presents for the poor little chill
dren of Wilmington who otherwise would
not enjoy Christmas treats.
They have about l40 dolls to be dis
tributed among the little girls and as
many more presents to give the boys
The boys are unable to find out the ma
ture OF the gifts they are to receive and
considerable guessing is going on.
1t will be novel sight to see the little
waits enjoy the kindness Of the charita-
BILE ladies OF Wilmington.
Other charitable institutions will lend
hand in giving the poor pleasant
Christmas. The almhouse and other
State institutions will be visited by
Santa Claus, and good cheer will be dis
tributed with a lavish hand by those
who have plenty and to spare.
Many poor guests were treated to
coffee and edibles yesterday at the

SUICIDE OF MOORE.
The Body is Recognized by His Father
and RrOther..- as of Rowing
Disposition.

For the purpose of investigating the
suicidal death of his brother William
Moore, of this city, visited Philadelphia
Saturday.
Arriving at the office of the coroner
Mr.. Moore found that the dead man was
his brother, Herbert E. Moore. who has
not been seen by any member of his
family for about two years.
Among the dead mans effects was a
letter directed to his father, Howard O.
Moore, of No. 17l4 Scott street.
The authorities at Philadelphia would
not allow William to take charge of
either the body or effects of the dead
man but notified him that they could
only be delivered to the father.
The brother returned to this city again
and he, accompanied by his father, went
to Philadelphia yesterday.
The suicide is about rs years of age
and has always led a rowing life, princi-
pally spent on the sea- He was in Cuban
waters during the recent war with Spain
but not in the Government service.
He is said to have wife and two chill
dren living at Portsmouth, N. H.
His death is great shock to his rela-
tives and friends for he was man of
jovial and happy disposition.
1t is not known whether the fortune
he spoke Of in his letter is a creation of
his diseased brain or whether it is a
reality. The matter will be Investigated
as soon as Captain Mcbride can be COM
municated with.
Nothing definite could be learned yes
terday in reference to the interment Of
the body of the dead sailor.

HIS ASSAlLANT Is CAPTURED

Between II and II o'clock last evening
Jeremiah Davis, colored, was arrested
and now lies in cell in the City Hall to
await the result Of injuries he inflicted
on Harry Brown, also colored, of this
city.
Davis was recently released from New
! Castle jail, where be had served a short
term, and learned yesterday that Brown
was keeping company with epis former
sweetheart, Anna Gibbons, who re-
sides on Walnut street between Front
and second.
He imbibed rather freely during the
day in celebration of Christmas, and be-
Atween the hours named decided to pay
bff the grievance he held against Brown
u He accordingly visited the house Of
his former dusky inamorita and finding
Brown there commenced the quarrel.
Within very short time both men were
in the street, and here Davis attempted
to cut Brown with razor. In defending
himself the right hand Of the latter was
cut
Davis finding that he could not do
sufficient damage with the weapon picked
up brick and with it he proceeded to
batter Browns head.
After striking his victim number of
times Brown ran and with blood stream
ing down his face met Officer Jerry
Shields, and after relating his story fell
unconscious at the a&cer's feet.
The patrol was then summoned and
the injured man taken to the Delaware
Hospital.
Officer Shields and State Detective
Walter Wltsil then went to the house Of
Miss Gibbons and there succeeded in
\nrresting Davis. When taken to the sta
Non the prisoner stated that the only
ret he had was that he had not fin
A4d the job.
N.Y. hen Brown arrived at the hospital
II EtNSphysicans found that he was suffer
M tsyrom fractured skull. He refused to
MA an operation performed and this
the case he was subsequently re.
Fed to his home.
SAt the time of going to press he was
lying in precarious condition and it is
thought he cannot recover. as he fights
the physician in attendance and will not
let him dress the gaping wound in his
head.
The quarrel was caused through the
jealousy of Davis. Brown gained the
woman's friendship through paying her
fine in the Municipal Court after she
had been arrested.
THE assault which may end in murder
was witnessed by Ebbie La Rue, William
Johns and Benjamin lTaylor. They are
under bond to appear when wanted.

The opportunities of the public at large
to vote for the man of their choice for
United States Senator are conspicuous
for their absence.
THE Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express an opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the
interests of the Diamond State IN the
councils of the nation.
This is an opportunity that has never
before been accorded to the people of
any State within the history of the
nation.
The plan is simple.
Fill out the coupon at the head of this
column and send it to THE Sun. We pub
lish the number of votes received by each
candidate every day in order to keep the
voters posted.
THE Sun also makes this offer: The
winner in this contest has the privilege
of naming any charity in the State to be
the recipient of one hundred dollars,
which will be paid to the said charity by
The Sun.
The contest will continue until the
first ballot is taken in the Legislature.
There is no law or requirement which
makes it necessary for you to sign your
name to your ballot, though we would
rather you would. They will be counted
just the same, however, if you do not
wish your opinions known.
Send in your ballot and help win that
$1Oj for some deserving charity.
All votes credited to each contestant
do not necessarily represent all the votes
received for each contestant. They
merely represent those that are counted
