Logan, March 12-Ex-Captain Silvey
of the Ogden police force, one of the
principal owners of the Copper King
mine in Blacksmiths Fork canyon, is
in the city today. He is arranging for
supplies to be sent up to the Copper
King. and making preparations for
taking up to the mine a mining expert
who will be here next week, 1t is
thought According to Mr.. Silvey two
very good offers have recently been
made for all or part of the Copper
King property by San Francisco people.
Neither were accepted. for the reason
that Mr.. SiIvey and his partners think
they have a bonanza, and will hold out
for a big price. The mining expert Will
be sent up partly to satisfy would-be
purchasers of the richness of the ind.
The snow has melted sufficiently, Mr..
Silvey thinks, to enable a. person To
reach the camp now on horseback.

NEW YEARS SHOOTERS.
The New Year Will be Received in
Fine Style by Many viii.
Iningtonians

Instead OF going to Philadelphia and
other large cities to witness New Years
celebrations, citizens OF Wilmington will
be entertained in that particular at home
this year.
The Diamond State New Years Club,
400 strong, organized from among the
best members of the Turngemeinde, will,
for the first time, parade the streets Of
the city as shooters. This movement
was started some few days ago by the
Turner'S" and since it has become an
accomplished fact, many business men OF
the city have taken hold of the idea and
will do all in their power to help il
along. Prizes will be offered al
numerous stores for the best dressed per.
son and for the one wearing the most
ridiculous costume.
AL business men are requested to aid
in this movement, either in a financial
way 0r by offering pics. In every case
where prize is offcrrl the club will
parade past the place OF hnsiress in order
to give al al orpt tuaiy to review the
procession,
The me'ahe-e Of the Diamond State
New Years Cub are all d4sirous of do.
ing everything in their power to make
New Years day one of amusement Sc
that Wilmingtonians will not have to 90
abroad for enjoyment. This CITY has a
population of about 10000, and if from
this number 5000 60 away on New
Years it represents $25, 1000.

When Thieves Fall Out, SC.

The Levy Court of New Castle county
has been the means used for years by the
Democratic party to ray their party
workers. 1t was for several years the
medium through which the county con-
stables were paid after being appointed
by the Governor. The indexing OF the
records in the Recorder OF Deeds office
has cost this county in the last six years
twenty five thousand dollars. This fact
was known to the Erery Evening at the
time and never word Of protest went
up from that paper until this late day.
That is not the only steal that has been
winked at in this county under the
sanction of the Democratic Legislature.
Now that the office has Republican
official the first time for half a century,
the pent up anguish is let loose and the
howl goes up. Why at this late day is
the steal laid bare? Whv not before as
it received the sanction of the Demo-
cratic party for years? The former Re-
corder of Deeds and few favorite law
yers have been enabled to receive sums
of money for work that properly be-
longed to that official. But not being
satisfied with the fees that follow the
office this extra from the county treas
ury was looked upon as the proper spois
in this particular office. .--Duilu RHi;ttH-

HELD FOR LARCENY,
A COlored Woman Confessed That She
Stole $3 From James Harkins.
Other Cases He lrd.

In the Municipal Court Yesterday
morning, Mary Jones, colored, was ar
raigned on the charge of stealing SIS, the
property of James Harkins, on Tuesday
night, at a house on Orange street near
Third.
Chief of Police Dolan was about to
testify to the effect that the woman had
made a confession to him after she was
arrested, but Walter H. Hayes, counsel
for the accused, objected, holding that
any statement made by an accused per-
son to an officer, such as a chief of police,
was not voluntary and therefore not ad.
missible.
He cited a Massachusetts, case, but not
having the book stated that he would
submit the book to the Judge later The
point was not insisted upon, however.
and the chief repeated the confession
the woman having told him that she had
stolen SO, instead of S., from Harkins
while he was in the house where she
was staying.
She took the stand in her own behalf
and made similar statement, where.
upon the judge held her in 500 bail to
answer the charge at the Court of Gen.
eral Sessions. Attorney Hayes remarked
after court that the admissibiitv of con.
fessions to officers will not be tested in
the case against the woman.

This river will admit ships OF the vii.

the vessel by order of the State Depart
ment.
This voyage completed, the Whining.
ton will enter far into the interior Of
South America, proceeding hundreds of
miles up the great Amazon. She will 90

will be made to the seaport cities of
Brazil and Uruguay, and then the Rio
de Ia Plata will be entered as far as it is
practicable to go. AT all ports en- route
the flag will be shown and an opportu-
nifty given the natives to inspect a mod
ern American gunboat. The United
States ministers to the countries visited
will be taken on board and 70 with the
vessel while she is within their official

RICHARD R. KENNEy, United States
Senator from Delaware, should resign.
He has twice failed to secure an acquit-
tai OF the serious charges made against
him, and it does not look as if he would
ever be able to secure such a verdict.
Thus he is forced to stand before the
country in position that lessons his
