The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-05-09

Ole to get registered and VOTE The
placing of two sets of Republican
candidates in the field can only re-
suit in the election of Democrats to
every office in the city, and make it
Democratic for the next ten years.
1t means the election of a Democrat
&c Legislature, which will mean the
adoption of new city charter and
that will place the Democrats in
power so securely, that all the Re-
publicans can do for years will be
without practical result. 1t means
nothing more or less than Democrat
ic supremacy once more in Della
ware.
CHEF DoLAN had barely left the
city, when one of the most daring
robberies that ever took place in
Our city was enacted at Bavarian
Brewery. Six masked men armed
with revolyers, overpowered the
Waterman, Emil Meyer, and Engi-
neer Testing, bound them and then
blew open the safe, where they Sc
cured 81, 400. 90, five hundred being
in cash, the balance in checks. It
was one of the most daring and
boldest robberies ever yet commit tied
in Wilmington. The robbery was
committed between ; and 5 o'clock
this morning and was so we'll
planned that not a hitch occurred,
and they get away with their booty.
1t Is the talk of the town and the
police are hustling to capture the
bold. bad robbers. If caught, they
will be given a taste of the CATO
nine tails. But it is thought this
robbery will remain as much mys-
terry as Katie Dugan's murder.
Dr.. HoGELsBERGER begins to find
out that the way of the transgressor
is hard. He made the assertion
when he left Wilmington after CON
Quoting the optical business unsuc-
cesstully, that the public had been
doing him for years and that he in
tended hereafter to do the public.
1t is said he did the public to the
tune Of $4,000 He lived like
nabob and now he is in Jail in Los
Angeles. Cal He will be brought
on to New York, where he will be
made to answer the charge OF
swindling several hundred foolish
persons who trusted him for sums
ranging from $50 to 80. 900, which
he was said to use in a blind pool,
paying 10 per cent a week for the
use of the money intrusted to him.
THE Rev. Alfred Smith, D. D.,
pastor OF Wesley Church, Dover, IN
his Sunday evening sermon said:
81 saw the crowd that followed to
the Railroad station three assem-
blymen. who were being Kissed and
jeered as traitors to their party,
but walking down the streets undls-
turbed were assemblvmen who were
worse traitors to the people of their
country and to themselves. He
alluded to the men who had signed
the agreement to submit the QueS-
Ton OF license or no license and

men were worse traitors than the
three who voted for ]. Edward Adj

THERE was rather lively time
in the suit OF Jacob Edwards. Of
New York, and others against the
Bay state Gas Company Of Della
" q inf INA I ,lS a, 1
tcrdaN afternoon. before Comm sion
er Smith. !, Edward AddickS and
William II, Miller, Of the Bay State
Gas Company had been eubpucnucd
to appear before Commissioner
Smith Yesterday. bringing with

IF Architect Pierce. of New York
has to be paid So for every visit he
makes to our city. he will come high
before the new High School is fin
ished in 1000. In fact, he will have
become an expensive luxury. but
then good things come high and the
Board OF Education will find this
out to their SORROW before the new
school building is finished. With
his per ccntagc and So Il day. it
will cost our tax PAYERS pretty
penny before they are through with
his services.
THE much talked Of Kcely motor.
since Mrs. Bloomfield Moore $ death
has come to an end. I. Burton
Einraldi OF jamaica Plain. to whom
the matter was submitted tor inveS-
tigation, has abandoned all work
on the keely motor and will ship
back to the Necly Company all the
machines and manuscripts left by
the inventor, PerpetUa. motion is ct
undiscovered and keely' death ex-
posed the fraud he had been prac-
tIcing for years.
CENTRAL Presbyterian Church
should, if possible. have purchased
their new organ in Wilmington. BY
going elsewhere, they will not Sc
cure any better organ than could
be purchased from the organ build
er here. Wilminstonians should
make theirpurchases at home when
ever possible, quality and price
taken into consideration. Numerous
churches here and even as far South
as Chattanooga, can boast of Will
mlngton-buIlt organs.
IHk question may well be asked
why should the city charge itself
tor erecting its public buildngsI
The new High School comes under
this head. 1t seems to us lilc TAX
ing the money out Of your right
hand pocket to put it in your left
hand pocket. The contention raised
by the Building Inspector, as he
interprets the law, may be all right
and legal, but there is no good rea-
son why the city department should
get into a clash with the School
Board.
