Death of Joseph W. Morgan, Formerly
wilmington Manufacturer.


wilmington Manufacturer.
Owen Palmer received from Seffren,
N. Y, Tuesday afternoon, a telegram
announcing the death of his brother.
in law, Joseph W. Morgan, formerly of
this city, who died in the klondike on
February 10Th last. The dispatch,
which was sent by Mr.. Palmer's sister;
did not give details. 1t is supposed
that Mrs. Morgan had Just received a
letter containing the sad news, and she
will probably mail the details to her
brother, Mr.. Palmer, and her sister,
Mrs. John Brear.
Mr. Morgan was about Sc years old,
and spent most of his life in Whining.
ton. He was member of the firm of
Hare & Morgan, nut and bolt manu-.
facturers, who occupied the Joseph
Teas shop, Third and Church streets,
for many years, and subsequently built
the shop at Second and Lombard streets
now owned by Hopes & Townsend OF
Philadelphia. After the dissolution OF
the firm of Hare &c Morgan. II years
ago, Mr.. Morgan engaged in business
at st. Paul, MINI. In March, 1898, he
started for the Klondike, accompanying
party of IA from New York and st.
Paul, who represented a syndicate
having a capital of $40, 000. The gold
seekers took with them three stationary
engines and supplies sufficient to last
them long time. What success Mr..
Morgan's companions met with in the
KlondiKe is not known here.
Mr.. Morgan was member of the
Masonic fraternity. His wife and one

lectors to be liable therefor. The
usual course of procedure would seem
to have been for the collectors on the
first day of May in each year to deter
mine finally the amounts collectable
according to their books and since
there has apparently not been settle
mant made according to the duplicate,
of the collectors for 1895 and 1886. it
would be in order for the Levy Court
to make such settlement even at this
late day.
The practice Of charging off taxes as
"uncolleoted, is not such settlement
as sound business methods would war
rant. The questions would arise: Why
are these taxes uncolleotedP Why
haven't they been collected? And II
not collected, are not the collectors re-
sponsible under their bonds?
These are pertinent matters for the
consideration of the Levy Court, and
now that the taxpayers are waking UP
to the situation it would be entirely
in order for the Levy Court, at its next
session, to take decisive action.
Will it do it?

WIRr DEFEATED.
Delegates Named By HIM Voted Down In
cecil Convention.


Elkton, Md, July %. The Demo
Gratis OF Cecil county assembled in
county convention here today for the
purpose Of naming four delegates to
the State convention, which meets in
Baltimore on, August I'd.
When the delegates arrived it was
found that the friends OF Senator
Crothers were in control of five dis
tricts and four were favorable to ex-
Senator John s. Writ.
Alonzo L. Barry of Port Deposit was
chairman and William M. Pogue OF
Rising Sun secretary. Mr.. Writ made
an address to the convention, and
stated his position with regards to his
candidacy for governor. He said that
without any effort on his part, the
press of the State suggested his name
for governor, and he certainly thought
his county would give him its unquali-
fed support. He stated that the
primaries were called and delegates
elected to the State convention in May
last, pledged to his support without
his consent or personal knowledge. He
then referred to his letter in which he
repudiated the action Of the conven-
| ton and stated that the convention
| today was the only convention that had
a right to send delegates to the State
convention. Mr.. Writ then named as
his choice for delegates w. II. Deshane.
George s. Woolley, Col. W. Fl. May
and DR.. j. B. Slicer. Manly Drennen.
John Banks. George W. Taylor and
DR.. John Ii. Jenness. the same delegates
elected at the May convention, were
placed in nomination by DIR. L. B..
| Moore. The latter delegates were
elected by vote of % to 20 for the
Writ delegates
Mr.. Writ then stated that he desired
the instructions in his favor passed al
the May convention be rescinded. The
convention then adjourned.
The convention was largely attended
and much interest was manifested in
the proceedings. AS Mr.. Writ will moi
accept the support of the delegation in
the State convention, the four votes
from Cecil will 60 into the convention

STOLE THE ENGINEER.
John Doyle kidnapped by Twenty Masked
Men.

John Doyle kidnapped by Twenty Masked
MEN.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Cripple Creek, COL, July 26.-Jobn
Doyle, engineer of the Garfield Grouse
mine, was carried of by 20 masked
men early this morning.
The sheriff has been notified, and is
making efforts TO find the missing en-
gineer.
When the masked men reached the
mine, they ordered the btaeksmiths
and other employees of the mine back.
I'VE don't want you," said one of the
leaders; SIT is Doyle we are after, and
we win fix him."
The men employed at the Garfield
Grouse are unable to conjecture the
cause Of the trouble. The miners work
under lease by F. o. Wood, and all the
miners employed there are union men.
The authorities are in the dark as to
the reason for the abduction, but it is
believed to be the result of trouble be-
tween Doyle and his employees.
Doyle was released by his abductors
after they had given him severe beat
ing. He processes not to know who the
men were or why they punished him.
