Dover. Del. Feb Special fourth
weeks banoting for United States Senator by
the General Assembly Of this State was begun
at noon to-day and looked-for changes occurred
in each Of the five ballots taken the largest
number in the course Of the contest making
forty-two in ali. There were only forty-four
members present. three Democrats and five Re
puhlicans being absent. Twenty-three votes
only were required 10 elect The result Of the
first ballot was as follows.
Senator Gray DEM IA, Addicks CRep), IA;
Willis RepJ. - Chandler Rep) I. Congress
man Handy DEM. f. Du Pont Rep). 3.
The understanding among the regular Repub-
leans evidently could not have been clear as
Senator's Knox and Shakespeare and Repre-
sentative Lattomus voted Tor Du Pont. while
the other five voted for Jonathan S. Willis. on
the second ballot however. Willis received the
full vote Of the regulars. also the vote Of
Senator McFarlin. VINO previously voted for
Chandler
The third ballot was the one which caused ex-
element The surprise came when Representa-
tive Frizzle who had been voting for different
candidates each day, voted for Addicks. This
caused not only murmurs from those in the
lobby but from the members on the floor.
Chambers vote was cut down 10 TWO vi l'''s
ballot and Addicks gained one. The fourth bal
lot was more anxiously waited for than any Of
the preceding ones. as II was thought other
Chandler men would s. over 10 Addlcks, bur
Irrizzle went back to Chandler. making the
ballot the same as the second one.
The fifth ballot showed only one change from
the fourth Willis's vote increas ng 70 ten BY
the presence OF Representative Kitchens. who
had JUST arrived The voting Of to-day simply
carries out the prediction Of last week that
fra changes u today were only question OF
time. Further changes are looked for to-mor-
row and the rest OF the week but the end Is
not yet .
DR. caleb r. Layton, Of Georgetown. one OF
tho most ardent Of the Addicl1s men, was here
this morning. making an active canvass foT
his choice for Senator. When asked Whethel

Pickpocket Caught
Soon After His
Offense.
THOUGHT TO Be A BIG CROOK.
Followed BY a Plucky
Woman Whose Pocket
book Was Stolen.

Mrs. Jane c. Holman Of the Young
pocket picked in Woolworth's Five and
Ten Cent store, on Front street, yes
terday afternoon, and shortly after
wards a man giving his name as Joseph
Corbin and his home as Portland, Me-,
was arrested by Oficers Henry r. NJ
gent and Daniel F. Sullivan for the Of
Tense.
There is little doubt in the minds of
the police that they have captured a
crook in Corbin, and some things found
on his person show that he moves in a
circle Of well-known crooks.
The affair happened about O'clock
as Mrs. Holman was leaving the store,
and she felt some one brush against
her side. She felt for her pocketbook
a second later and, missing 1t, followed
after the man. AS he noticed her com
ing, she started on a run. She fol-
lowed him, and at the police signal
streets, he was captured by young fell
low named Abel Abrahamson. Mrs.
Holman also grabbed him and in the
scuffle, officers Sullivan and Nugent
happened along. They placed the man
under arrest, and he was taken to sta
ton 1 and booked for larceny from per
son.
When searched at the station. the
pocketbook was found secreted in the
lining Of his overcoat, and a bill for a
pair of trousers made by William H
Dunbar of Boston was also located in
his clothes. The bill was made out
to H. A. Phillips, and the police be-
lieve that this is probably one of Cor
bins addresses.
Inspectors O'Day and Stone talked
with Corbin when he was placed in his
cell, but they failed to get anything
out of him. The inspectors are in
clined to believe that Corbin or Phil
lips may know something of the many
jobs that have been done around the
Union station and on the Boston and
Albany Railroad trains, and today they
will look into his case further.

disease was Bright's disease of the kid
neys. am quite well now"
The kidneys are subject to catarrh the
same as any other organ. The catarrh
may be slight, giving rise to little or no
disturbance, or severe, producing a
genuine case of Brights disease of the
kidneys. The symptoms of catarrh of
the kidneys are weak back, dull pains
in back and hips, sometimes high
colored and sometimes clear urination.
Catarrh of the kidneys quickly leads
to chronic Brights disease. Pe-ru-na
should be taken at the appearance Of
the first symptom. If taken in the
early stages of the disease Pe-ru-na is
sure to cure every case. Pe-ru-na cures
catarrh of the kidneys simply because
it cures catarrh wherever located. No
other systemic catarrh remedy has as
yet been devised. Insist upon having
Pe-ru-na. There are no medicines that
can be substituted. There is no other
remedy that can be relied on to cure ca
tarrh of the kidneys. Pe-ru-na cures CO.
tarrh of any organ of the human body.

the British anthem was played. The
Prince of Wales toasted the Empress
