Norman Elders.

Our Town was visited yesterday morning BY
two Norman Elders. From whence the ami
mails esme We know not, but they are here
seeking to sew the seeds Of their questionable
religious beliefamong our people They are
making az effort to establish headquarters in
our town as bAse of operation and then go
from house to house to teach their religious
belief. We believe our people are opposed to
the Norman doctrine and want none oft here
If these nomadic Diyines will take kindly
hint we suggest that they ''move on Nor
mani.m, as we understand it, is nothing more
nor less than species Of refined immortality
and we want none Of itin our midst Move
on, Elders, noveon.

The Democratic Msss-meeting which was
held in this town on Tuesday last failed by a
long shot 10 come up to the expectations Of
Of those who had assembled al the county
seat 10 hear the issues Of the day discussed by
the party leaders. The meeting which was
called TO order at 1890 o clock by DR.. Louis
@. Carrico, chairman of the Democratic local
committee, was composed Of representatives
from the Democratic, Republican, Prohibition,
Popuist and other parties; though, Dotwith-
standing, this congomeration Of party men
the crowd vas very small, number of seats in
tie hall being uoOeeupied. The meeting was
called At an early hour and lasted but short
time, this was due lnsialy 10 the fact that
nekrly all the work Of the campaign fell to
Cummings. Judge D. Ignstius Sanders who
was chosen chairman Of the meeting made
few remarks at The conclusion Of which he
introduced Col. Killgore, Of Montgomery
county IS the next speaker. In the course Of
bis remarks be declared that he was doubtful
Of the Democratic success at the polls on rhe
sth of November and he further declared that
the present administration had particularly
no credit in the result Of this war; thai the
condition of the nineteenth century demanded
war. In making the latter statement any
person Of ordinary Judgment and knowledge
as to the easily history Of the recent war,
knows well enough that the Colonel has
grossly erred and his charge perfectly sosur.
ed Me-. Cummings thsn took the stand to
address his few constituents and greatly to
their disappointment be did not touch upon
the money question, the real issue ofthe cam
paign, but preferred to devote his argument
to State matters.

ARlZONIANS VERY EXCITED
Episode Which Threatens In
ternational Complications.
KILLED BY AN AMERICAN.
While Latter Was Resentjng a
Mob's Attack.


Denver, COL, Nov. IA. "A special
from Nogales, Ariz., to the News, says:
"Much excitement exists here, in
consequence of an episode which
threatens to result in international
complications. On Sunday last, james
Temple, a conductor on the New Mex
leo & Arizona railway, was attacked
by some Mexicans and, in defending
himself, shot one of them, Juan Ar
valla. fatally. This occurred about
1000 feet north of the international
boundary line, Later. he returned to
his hotel, which is south of the line,
and was arrested by Mexican officers,
on the charge Of murder, the, law of the
State Of Sonora providing for the trial
of any person charged with crime
against Mexican citizen, though the
crime may have been committed in a
foreign country. Friends of Temple
engaged an attorney, but the Mexican
authorities refused to allow the pris-
oner to be seen. United States Consul
J. +. Darnall then appealed to the
State Department, at Washington, and
has received the following telegram:
Have wired Legation at. Mexico, to
demand immediate release Of ,Temples,
Hay, Secretary of State.
Gas yet, no word has been received
from the City of Mexico. Temple is
in the prison at Magdalena.

WITNESSES IN THE BoTKlN CASE.
Several DeIawareans 10 start for San Fran
CISCO OIL Nov. Both.

CISCO OH Nov. Both.
Detective Bernard j. McVey was in
Dover Monday and while there had a
conference with Hon. John b. Pening-
ton, father of Mrs. J. ID. Deane and
Mrs. j. p. Dunning, who recently died
from the effects of eating poisoned
candy supposed to have been sent from
San Francisco. The detective also saw
j. p. Dunning, who went to Dover
yesterday and returned TO New York
today.
D Detective McVey did not see Attor-
ney- General White yesterday, but is in
constant communication with him, and
Mr.. White is largely interested in the
arrangements.
! Arrangements are being made for the
attendance of Delaware witnesses at the
triill of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, which
will take place in San Francisco, COM
mencing OH Monday, December 9th.
1t lis understood that the party, which
will leave Philadelphia at 1890 a.
m. on November 30th, will include At
torney- General White, Detective Nc
Vey, OK Congressman Pennington, J. d.
Deane. j. p. Dunning, ex-Postmaster
Thomas M. Gooden, Miss Josephine
Bateman, Harry Pennington of this
city, DIR. l.. A. Ill. Bishop or DIR. L.
u. Downes, State Chemist I. r. Wolf
and probably one or two others, who
knowing something about the matter
or have been connected with the in
yestigation. The party will arrive in
San Francisco on Sunday night, De-
jcenber 3d, at s. 80 o'clock.
1t is understood that nothing is to be
taken West in tho shape Of material
evidence, all that is desired being the
testimony of the witnesses mentioned.
The candy, box, handkerchief and other
articles. are already in San Francisco
and it is believed that there is nothing
new at this end of the line to offer.
eAllfof the witnesses will go West of
their own voiition and it is altogether
likely that their expenses will be paid
by the State of California. They ex-
pect to return the latter part of Decem-
Der or early in January.
