TEN MEN ALMOST DROWNED
Soldiers at Fort Mott Arrive in Time
TO Rescue Them From a Cap
sized Boat.

By the capsizing of small sail boat in
the eastern channel at the Delaware, off
Fort Delaware, Tuesday, ten men nearly
lost their lives. The men were employed
at Fort Mott, and were on their way to
their homes in Delaware City.
They got into the boat at the Firms
Point wharf and pushed out into the
river before making sail. The wind was
blowing gale and a high sea was run
ming, and in attempting to make sail the
boat capsized.
The men clung to the bottom of the
boat, which drifted about mile down
the river, when the anchor became un-
fastened and held the boat. The angry
waves partly submerged the boat and
it was with the greatest difficulty that
the men held on.
The accident was witnessed by work
men at Fort Delaware and by the soldiers
at Fort Mott, who started at once to the
rescue. They said they could not have
held out much longer, many OF them be-
ing nearly unconscious at the time OF the
rpSclla.

FAMILY REUNION.
The Descendants of T. j. Moore As
semble to Celebrate His Eighty
ninth Birthday.

October is said to be the most beautiful
month OF all the year. Nature has
clothed her in such gorgeous array that
there must be some attraction to please
every beholder.
It was on the 18th Of this month, in
the year 1909, that God sent into the
world little infant. 1t was loved and
cherished by its parents, and named
Thomas j. Moore.
Today he is one of the oldest resi-.
dents of Mill Greek hundred.
On Monday, October H.. 1898, his
descendants assembled at the home OF
his daughter, Mrs. A. J. Whiteman,
Pleasant Hill, DEL, to celebrate bis
eighty-ninth birthday. The day was
perfect one, and from early morning
relatives began to arrive until the house
was filled to overaowing.
-Four generations were represented.
Children, grandchildren and great,
2 grandchildren gathered around the aged,
loved one, who has bright smile aad
kind word for one and all.
The children were all present except
Mrs. Lydia Kirkpatrick, who resides in
Illinois. Mr.. Moore has forty-one grand
children living, eighteen having died,
and thirty-four great-grandchildren liv'
ing, eleven having died.
Mr.. Moore retains warm place in hit
heart for each little tot, as, lisping the
, name grandpa" it climbs upon his knee
and nestles its little head in The locks
that have been whitened by the frosts o.
many winters.
Ii he is spared about two years ano
one half longer he will have lived to sex
q great-grapdchild vote.
Mr.. Moore is remarkably well pre-
served, and it is hoped that he will bt
spared to enjoy many more family re-
unions, and when the earthly ones mus
be discontinued we trust that each dea
one will be ready to join the heavenl,

BRAVE REGISTRAR TO FIGHT
A Sheriff Posse May Protect the Reg
istration Books in the Seventh
Representative District Of
Kent County--A Regis
trar's Statement.
special pisaatch To THE suN.

AfS~s--
WYOMING, DEL, Oct. ia plan to
steal the Registration books in North
Murderkill Hundred has been laid bare
by William X. Allaband, registrar OF the
Seventh Representative District. 1t is
proposed to "hold up'' the registrar on
Saturday night and rob him of the books
and papers necessary to hold an eiectlon
lin that district on November 8.
Here is the statement Mr.. Allaband IS
credited with giving OUT
desperate politicians propose roDning
NE Of the entire list OF registered voters
on Saturday night The crime ls to be
perpetrated somewhere between Camden
and my home, which is two miles from
Wyoming. - i.
course, be the last OF the campaign, and
the result of the days registration will
determine whether this scheme will be
worked or not. I live two miles from
Wyoming, but the place at which hold
nv registration is in the second floor OF
building in the town of Camden, Now,
am always willing to defeat the Repub-
\ licans by any legitimate political propo-
Ssition but this scheme to steal the regis
4tration books of North MurderKill hun
yxlred will receive no encouragement at
Inv hands, and this I wish known.
The project, as understand it, is that
n gang of Thugs will set upon me on my
evening journey home from Camden and
rob me of my registration books.
"My word that the attack is to be
made is according to the latest informa-
L rafaranna tn the
affair. / say, however that the reglstra,
tion books OF North Murderkill hundred
will go home with me next Saturday
night and will be intact when presented
to The election officers for use on the
eighth day of November / shall pro.
tect these books to the end. Armed
men will accompany me from Camden
I, TO my home Saturday evening, antsr the
man who attacks me for the purpose OF
gaining possession of my registration
books does SO at the peril OF his life:
eff it is necessary" continued Mr..
Allaband, 81 shall request the Sheriff to
\ place at my disposal sufficient number
\ of armed deputies to protect the books
and my life.
"At any event, the attack, ii made,
willIeceive determined opposition"
MIR. AIlaband also intimated that the
N same plan was in contemplation in Duck
4 Creek hundred. i,
Y The news of this scheme in Duck
Creek hundred is now being considered
by the Registrars of the hundred, ano
the outcome in North Murderkill ano
Duck Creek hundreds depends entirely
on the action of the Registrars.
The remarks credited to Mr.. Allabanc
were made to Kent county Democrat
who vouches for their accuracy: Mr.
Allaband could not be seen tonight tt
confirm the statements The matter ii
the sole topic of conversation here to
night, and this very publicity seems
to indicate that Mr.. Allaband is correctly

This dome was named after brave old

who served in the confederate army,
and afterwards in the United States
Senate with distinguished honor. He
died within the last year, but Cling

Laurel top and West top; still farther

new inspiration of patriotism.
After dinner we continued down
