LAST DAY OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The Regular Republicans on Monday in
sisted upon the reading of the Journal of
the House in order that the bill to repeal
the charter of Wilmington, throwing the
city government into the hands of the Demo-
crates, might not come up. In this they
were successful.
There was intense interest in Dover
Monday and throughout the State on the
senatorial question. Fourteen ballots were
taken Monday without result, making a
total of 1l3 ballots during the session of
sixty days.
The Addicks men stood without a. break
from beginning to the end and would listen
to no offer Of compromise. Eleven Regu-
lar Republicans stood just as firmly against
Addicks. They offered during the session
fifteen Republicans in turn as their candi-
date. K
On Monday their vote was scattered be.
ing from 2 to 10 for Higgins; 4 to for
Willis; to 9 for Dupont. The Demo
cratic vote likewise shifted from one to an
other it being, Gray, to 16; Salisbury, 1
to II; Biggs, 1 to IA; Handy, 1 to s.;
Marvel, /. %ss
The great sensation OF the day came when
Senator Farlow and Representative King
both of Laurel, left Democratic associates
and Joined the Addicks men, giving him
twenty votes, or within six of enough to
elect. On the next ballot Representative
Clark, of Hartly, another Democrat went
| to Addicks and the three remained with
| him to the end.
1t matters little what their reward they
have paid dear for it. A despetch from
Laurel says that Tuesday evening a mob
surrounded the home of Representative
William F. King, the Democrat, of Laurel,
who voted for ]. Edward Addicks for
United States Senator on Monday the place
was bombarded with rotten eggs. Some
of the mob had pistols which were fired
frightening Kings aged mother. The mob
called for King to appear, but he had slip
ped off to Philadelphia 1t is now ru-
mored that King is preparing to sell out his
interest in his business here and leave
town.
DR.. Farlow slipped home the back way
and has kept within doors, He hears de-
nunciation on all sides. President of the
State Senate Salmon has struck his name
from the various committees of the Senate
of which he was q member. Farlow was
chairman Of the Finance Committe, and is
hold-oYer Senator.
4 ofClark despatch said !: He has not
been home since the Legislature adjourned,
and warm reception awaits him when he
puts in his appearance. Monday evening
crowd of excited Democrats gathered at
the station to meet him. and had be
been on the train the crowd would, no
doubt, have roughly handled him. This
community is composed to large extent
of woodsmen, and they are desperate when
aroused. Excitement was at fever heat and
it has not abated. Clark stopped at Ches-
void with sister and all three Of the
! raitors visited Wilmington on Tuesday.

DEATH OF DIR. CALDWELL.

Rev. John Fl. Caldwell, D. D., died at
his home OF Bradford street, on Friday
morning, March 10th, 1899. DR.. Caldwell
was truly great man and in his ceath the
Wilmington Conference loses from its
ranks its most stately and majestic
figure He was born in South Carolina in
1920 and hence at the time of his death
was 70 years of age.
He began his ministerial career in connec-
ton with the Methodist Episcopal Church
South in 1S45 and continued in that relation
till 1865, when he united with the Ken
lucky Conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church.

College; 1891, Frederick, Del; 92-93, super
numeraFy; "a SO, superannuated.

be has made his home in Dover and
it was his desire that his dust should repose
with US till the morning ofthe resurrection.
This YVES fitting and appropriate, for no
people that he ever served during his long
ministerial career ever loved him quite SO
we'll as the people of Dover. Twice he had
been their pastor and his first pastorate
was marked by one of the most remark
able revivals in the history of the church.
He leaves widow and six children, four
sons and two daughters.
