THINKS BOGGs WILL COME BACK.

Mr.. Harry Richardson, the gentlemanly
and polite President of the First National
Bank at Dover, said in conversation with
the writer that he felt confident in his
mind that William N. Boggs would some
day come back to Dover and surrender
himself up to tho authorities. You see
said Mr.. Richardson, his family ties are To-
Gated here and what's stronger III mans
life than u desire to see his wife and chill
dren. Possibly there may be persons who
are not over anxious about his return,
whilethere are others who would welcome
him home. Ihave no proof that he shared
his i'll gotten gains with anybody.

funds with him, but since l have come to
the conclusion that he had very littla
money with him when ho tcok his de-
parture Mr. Richardson is ready to take
all the means possible to approhend tho

Mr.. Conydon the publisher and editor
of the Sun called on air. Richardson some
timo ago and said that no could substan.

about the Boggs tasco which he has since

prove what he had printed that 1t would bo

Chicago, Jan. 25.-'rhe interstate BIZ
luminous coal miners and operators
made little progress at Yesterdays ses-
sion, but the miners made their position
plain by a reiterated demand for ten
cents advance and a uniform base of
weights AS the convention seemed
nearing a point when action would be
absolutely necessary the whole matter,
including the resolutions presented by
the miners, was referred back to the
scale committee with instruction to re-
port today. The main question Is now
whether Illinois will break away from
the contracts running to May l, or in

Illinois operators can be arranged for
nothing will prevent quick settlement.

willing to grant the advance demanded.

DRY WEATHER POLICE HATS.

Said we'll known man in police circles
you remember the helmets the police wore
ut One time. They had been worn only
few days when rain came up and you
should have just seen those hats whom
they dried off. They were surely sights.
The crowns of the helmets had been made
Of paste board of poor quality and when
they dried out, they had ridge in the
c ,rtre OF them that made the officers
really a sight. The hats had to be dis
caried anl others were substituted for the
ones that had been caught Ill the rain.
Now the hats have to stand a certain test
before the department receives them
and give up their good money for them9
The commission have come To the conclu-
son the cheapest is not always the best.
No wonder the polceman's life is not
happy one when having to wear such hats.

Funny Things We See and Hear.

John F. Salisbury was engaged In con-
versation, with the writer OF these notes
yesterday in Dover. The conversation
drlfted OH the Boggs matter, when Mr.. s.
said that there was nothing in the sensa-
tional stories printed in tho Sun. Not one
iota of truth. As for himself he had never
received a dollar from the defaulting pay
ing teller. That If tho Sun published any
thing in its columns about him (Sauls
bury) he would have the editor or owner
brought to Dover and have him tarred and
feathered and then duckea in the river.

glad to engage in such sport, so as to learn

Resolutions en- llr. Smiths Death.

The Wilmington NJ L. Preachers As
sociation yesterday adopted the following
resolutions on the death of Thomas B.
Smith:
"With you to day we mourn tho dcpar-
ture OF one OF tho most unassuming, cheer.
full, helpful and devoted Christian work.
ers il h,ls ever been our privilege to know.
We doubt not his loyalty, devotion and
liberality to his own church, but his in
fluence, like the fragrance of the rose
branch over the wall, extends beyond his
own beloved Grace Church. As minister
of the gospel seeking to build up Zion In
places needing special financial help we
have sometimes been compelled to seek
aid beyond our own local churches ana we
have ever found Thomas B. Smith noe
only willing to listen to our story of need,
but again and again has ho responded
with substantial aid
'He gave and gave again, quietly, but
cheerfnlly, always requesting that his
liberaiity should be kept secret and that
his name should not be used. Because he
has helped Us in Christian work we wish
to place this tribute on his bier and declare
our belief that he will bo remembered for
what lie has done.
"We also express our sympathy with the
church, whose loss cannot be estimated by
u.s. His presence as a quiet worshiper will
be missed by both pastor and people. His
counsel and wisdom will be absent from
the board. His faith and works we trust
may inspire others TO be like-minded.
"Wo desire to assure the stricken family
and his afflicted and bcreaved helpmeot
that we weep with those who weep and
earnestly pray that sustaining grace
may be given in this hour of sore bereave-
m.nt." Signed by committee, the Rev.
W. l.. s. Murray, the Rev. Ezra Tinker,
the Rev. John France.

Storm Aftermath.

A report comes from Lewes, DEL, dated
yesterday to the effect that two small
schooners were reported to be ashore this
morning below Greenwich Point, and tho
barge b. w. Stetson, from PhilndeiphIa
fer Providence in tow of the tug Robert
Liltle, was blown aground off New Castle
but was afterward hauled of. 1'
Vessels arriving at the Breakwater to.
day bore the marks OF a hard fight with
the gale. The transatlantic steamers

this morning after a twenty-four hours
fghtjw northwe;ter off the JERSEY
coast.
Moth boats were slightly overdue, ths
Willowdene, Captain johnson, being
eighteen days out, and the Newstead, Cap
thin Dover, twenty days out. They were
endeavoring to reach the capes as soon ar
possible when they ran into tho teeth OF 4
furious gale. The wind blew forty miles
an hour, off the capes, and both steamers
lost considerable time beating against 1t.
Later in the day tho two tankers. Kas-
bek, from swansea, and the st. Helens,
from Shields, came in with the same tails
to tell Of an encounter with terrific
Northwestern, which blew great guns" for
twenty hours. The Kasbek was In charge
OF Captain Muir, and has been having
hard luck in tho matter of weather. On
her last voyage tho two boats were
stove in by the heavy weather. The st.

OHIO'S ALLEGED BRIBERY CASE.


Punish Recalcitrant witnesses.
Cincinnati, Jan. 25.-The legislative
committee last night closed Its inves-
tigaton in this city of the Otis charges
of bribery in the recent election of
United States senator. The senate COM
mittee will continue its work at Column
bus. Thirty witnesses have been cx-
Amined here since last Friday, most Of
them being employees OF the Gibson
House, of telegraph and telephone conf
panies and of the Union Savings and
Trust company. Jared p. Bliss. Allen
o. Myers, Sr.. and E. Fl. Archer were
the other principal witnesses. They re-
turned to Columbus last night with the
committee. The attorneys and three
members Of the house committee also
returned.
AS the evidence of Representative
John C. Otis and Of Colonel Thomas c.
Campbell will be very lengthy, they
were not called here, but Mr.. Otis will
likely be the next witness at Columbus.
The employees of President schmidlapp's
bank and Harry NJ. Dausherty, chair
man of the Republican state committee,
yesterday declined either to be sworn or
to answer questions. Chairman Burke
announced that as soon as the commit
tee was through with all the willing
be taken to bring all of the unwilling
witnesses before the bar of the senate
for punishment for contempt.

The storm about Delaware City was the
severest that has visited that section for
years. At ono time it was feared that the
big shed covering the wharf where the
steamboats, land would be carried away.
At the farm of Deputy Marshal Clark the
storm carried off part of the big windmill
and blew down tho large COW sled at the
dairy. During the progress of the storm
tho chain that locks the windmill was
broken. The big timbers began to quake
and every moment Mr.. Clark Iexpeclel
to SOC the mill topple over About thaJ
time his son, John Clarke. left the house
and undaunted by the danger went to tho
top of the mill and with u chain locked it
SO that it could not turn. The mill was
so badly injured that in all probability a
new one will have to be substituted. There
is a general contrast to-day in tho river.
AS high as the water was yesterday it
looks as if the wind was blowing it all
ont today,
