waved their hats and shouted to them.
One of the soldiers remarked as he

Many OF the Delaware boys are in
Pennsylvania hospitals with the fever.
There are over 100 OF them in the hos
pitals at Harrisburg, Pottsville, Reading
and other cities, but four of them are
seriously i'll with the disease.
Colonel Gordon has received the ap-
pointment as major of the battalion that
will do garrison duty and as soon as the
present eight companies are mustered
out he will assume his new command.
His appointment threatens to disrupt
the military Of the state. It is reported
that 95 per cent. of the officers OF the.
Delaware regiment are incensed at
Governor Tunnelps action in giving that
appointment to resident of Louisiana
wien several applicants with fine mill
tary careers and who have been identi-
fed with the military of the state, were
anxious to be appointed. Little can be
said by the matter at present for fear OF
but the storm will likely
burst in all of its fury after the general
discharge at the end of thirty days.

As DR.. Murray's Successor.

1t is said that the vacancy at St. An
drew's P. E. Church, caused by the resig-
nation of DR.. Murray, whose failing
health forced him to give up ac-
tive work, will be filled by Archdeacon
George W. Dame, rector Of St. Peters
P. E. Church at Smyrna.
DIR. Murray's trouble with his eyes
does not improve and it is thought that
he will loose the use of them. Rev.
George W. Dame has enjoyed pros
porous rectorship at Smyrna for ten
years, having only recently celebrated
the tenth anniversary of his work at st.
Peters. The popularity of DR.. Dame
would make it possible for him to be
we'll liked as the head of St. Andrews

GLOBE TRO1TER DAKOTA BOB
The Long Haired Man of the

After Many Experiences.
NECKLACE OF INDIAN TEETH
Walking On a Wager the Man Will
Encircle the Earth-Walked
From Chester to Whining
ton in Three Hours
Forty Minutes.
NECKLACE OF INDIAN TEETH

Dakota Bob," the Globe trotter, ar:
rived in this city yesterday. Walking
around the World for fame and encour-
aged by the New York Journal, Dakota
Bob is in this city, after having had
many experiences.
He is not fake but pays as he goes
and is all intelligent talker and an ex-
perienced scout, having received his
name from Buffalo Bill.
He wears sombrero and cartridge
belt. His hair is long and he has neck
lace made of Sioux Indian teeth and in
the centre of it has stone totem of the
Sioux Indians.
Dakota Bob is walker OF no small re-
putation as the many clippings of daily
papers from various parts Of the country
testify.
He walked from Chicago in 1892 dur
ing the Worlds Fair, to New Orleans
and back before the exposition closed.
Since that time he has walked 26,306
miles. His latest feat was that Of break
ing his own record and walking from
San Francisco to New York, a distance
of 1886 miles, in six months and fifteen
days. He looks as hard as nut and is
as congenial as moonshine.
He claims to have seen life on the
frontier and tells thrilling stories of the
doings in the Indian country.
The walking scout left Chester yester-
day at o'clock p. m. and arrived in
this city at $40 last evening.
He is a man slightly below the average
height, strongly built. He wears a
smooth shaven face. His hair, which
he wears long, is black and serves as a
frame to his face His clothing consists
OF broad brimmed sombrero, red,
white and blue sweater and pantaloons
of plain but sturdy material, supported
by cartridge belt. He carries with him
bag, supported by strap over his
shoulder, in which he carries his scrap
books and other curios.
In his scrap books, eighteen Of which
he carries with him, he has a complete
record of his travels in autograph. Every
city he goes into he secures the seal of
the city, signature of the postmaster and
stops at some newspaper Office, where he
also secures signatures as additional
proof of his travels. The curio which
he carries with him is necklace COM
posed of 12O Indian teeth which he re-
moved from the jaw bones of dead In
dians himself. 1t is a grusome ornament
but Dakota Bob is proud of it.
The walk upon which he is at the pres
ent time, is being taken upon a wager
made between Billy Lee OF Yonkers,
New York, and Joseph Mills, Of San
Francisco, for $3,O 900 that he will not be
able to make it by July l, 1899. If he
succeeds be gets 81, 800. The route he
will follow is Atlanta, Ga; Tallahassa,
Fla; Mobile, Ala; New Orleans, La.
San Antonio, Tex; FL Paso through
New Mexico, Arizona and then to
Frisco.
He spent yesterday at the Merritt
House and today he will spend with
ANDY" Murphy with whom he was &C.
luainted before coming to Wilmington.
On Wednesday afternoon Dakota Bob
will leave this city for Baltimore and
will start from The Sun office.

The following call was issued yester-

Swedes Church, on Wednesday evening,

TREMENDOUS SENSATIONS
ARE PROMISED.
RumOrs Indicate q Clean sweep in
Philadelphia as Sequence of
Quay's Arrest.

quay 8 Arrest.
Special Dispatch to THE SUN.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-There are sew
eral sensational rulnors current here to-
night-all growing out of the arrest Of
Hon. NJ. s. Quay. One story has it that
Quay will resign his seat in the United
States Senate forthwith and make his
fight for reelection as private citizen.
Another is that Gideon D. Marsh, the
fugitive president of the defunct Key
stone National Bank, will appear in the
United States Court at an early date and
make it decidedly interesting for some Of
the more potent enemies OF Mr.. Quay.
Still another story assures US that Quay
will withdraw his candidacy for re-elec-
tion upon reaching an agreement with
Dave Martin and Chris Magee whereby
he (Quay) may be allowed to name his
successor in Office.
Each Of these rumors has some ground
for credence. There is an unwritten
page in the history Of the keystone Ma.
tional Iank that can be opened by a
word from Senator Quay. Nobody can
recall time when Mr.. Quay neglected
an opportunity such as this and it is a
moral certainty that he will provide
a counter sensation at an early day.
The temperance of "Gid" Marsh in
Philadelphia, would cause stampede Of
local politicians from that city. With
the incorruptible James NJ. Beck in the
Office of United States District Attorney
there would be no suppression Of evi-
dence and no man can tell where it
would end. Pennsylvania is on the eve
of scandal that will smell to Heaven.

The first speaker introduced was John
W. Wood, general secretary OF the
Brot Lerhood OF st. Andrew Of New York
city. During his remarks he gave his
impressions Of the convention held at

the uneducated mingled together and
discussed the good Of the work before
them.
Sergeant John H. Peyton of Roanoke,
Va, of the United States Engineer
Corps, who has been in Cuba and who
has recently been appointed to look after
the advancement OF the brotherhood in
army.circles, was.the next speaker. He
gave brief resume of the work of the
Baltimore convention and then asked all
to cooperate with him in first introduc-
ing the good effects of brotherhood in
the army here by donating tents, etc,
and after e ining foothold here follow
the same plan in Cuba.
The other speakers were James H.
Jemison of Michigan and Rev. Mr.. Cum
ningham, rector Of Calvary Church, this
city. After the meeting reception was

ADDRESS

The opportunities of the public at
large to vote for the man of their choice
for United States Senator are con-
spicuous for their absence.
The Sun offers an opportunity for
everybody to express their opinion as to
who is the best man to represent the in
terests 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 ma
tion.
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
500 for some deserving charity. -
By great effort the friends of Hon.
Benjamin A. HAZEL succeeded in keep
ing their favorite in the lead with the
vote of yesterday.
His lead, however, over Col. Henry A.
du Pont is not very much. The spurt
made yesterday by Col. du Pont was a
big surprise. He evidently has many
followers who would like to see him
United States Senator.
A young American writes to the Editor
as follows:
EDITOR OF THE Sun:
Mr. EDIToR:-My father gets your
paper every day and after he gets through
reading it he gives it to me and tells me
to cut out the coupons and put Col. H.
A. du Pont' Shame on them. / send you
twenty for him. I hope that when l
reach my majority, which will be in six
years, that every man may vote for our
senators and then we will have the
right men.
Truly yours,
WALNUT STREET Boy.
