HEART FAILURE
KILLS NHERWIAI
EngraVer Went Upstairs to
s Q His Father and
Fell Dead

Wilmington business men and all
others who knew him, will be shocked
to learn that Harry w. Sherwin, Jew
eler and engraver at No. 615 Market
street, died from heart failure shortly
after 8 o'clock this morning at his
home, No. 1910 Monroe street.
He had gone up to the third story 10
talk with his aged father, Thomas
Sherwin, who does engraving in the
front room there, and fell dead at the
head of the stairs
He had been sick with the grip for a
week or two, but was out yesterday and
the day before, and apparently was on
the road to complete recovery.
Mr.. Sherwin was one of the best
known engravers in Delaware. He was
born in Wilmington fifty years ago
and succeeded his father in business.
A wife and four children survive
him. They are Mrs. Agnes c. Sher-
win, a sister of Former Clerk OF Coun-
Gil Messick,; Thomas, Mary, Rose anC
Helen, the latter being a baby but Z
few months old.
Mr.. Sherwin was a member OF VIII
mington Lodge, No. 1, A. o. u. w.
and Santa Maria Council, Knights o
: Columbus.
He probably will be buried in Cathe
dral Cemetery on Monday.

PALMER THE NEW PRESIDENT

did not, as alleged, discuss at any
time the affairs of the American Steel
and Wire company. Further, he says;
Il never sold a share of the stock
of this company, excepting that which
l owned, and / am today a large holder
of the stock of this company. and ev-
cry member of my family IS a substan-
tial holder of the stock of this COM
pany. Now that the antagonism from
all directions has been dispersed and
discredited and that / have been re-
lieyed from further accusation and the
charges against me determined to have
been false and unfounded, l feel that
/ should not further deny myself the
opportunity to take the desired recre-
alton determined upon a year ago, par
ticularly since it has become my duty
by appointment from the governor Of
the state of Illinois to represent that
state as commissioner to the Paris eX-
position"
The statement issued by the general
counsel says:
"The board Of directors declined to
consider the resignation of Messrs.
Gates, Lambert or Millwood in any
way which would take them out Of the
board of directors or the executive
committee, and upon their insistance
accepted their designations only as
chairman, president and chairman of
the executive committee.
George Alfred Lamb, the lawyer
whose charges against President Gates
were dismissed on Wednesday by Mag
lstrate Zeller, gave out this statement
after he heard of Mr.. Gates departure
for Europe:
Mr.. Gates came to New York with
the avowed determination of fighting
the proceedings brought against him
to a finish and of inficting drastic
punishment upon all of his critics, and
especially upon any one who dared to
prosecute him. The proceedings
brought, however, seemed to have
promised more interesting develop
ments than Mr. Gates cared to face,
and, acting doubtless upon the advice
OF his formidable array of eminent
counsel, he has taken advantage OF
the first technical opportunity that pre-
sented itself 10 leave the country"

terday, despite the cool wave.

The Offices Vacant Next Thurs

Owing to the absence Of James Kane,
member from the Fourth ward, no
mcve was made by President William
s. Alexander at last nights meeting Of
City Council regarding the pro tenn"
city officials.
President Alexander said last even
ing that when the matter was brought
up he desired that all members of
Council should be present, as the sub
ject was one that required careful con-
sideratiOn. Neither does he desire, he
says, to oust the present officials with
out some notice, but on next Thursday
night, unless there is a change of plans
in the meantime. all the city offices,
with the exception Of city auditor and
meat inspector, viii be declared va

In the stand that Mr. Alexander is
taking In the matter he has the opinion
OF City Solicitor Conrad on the sub
iect given on a former occasion.
AAlICABLE AGREEMENT LIKELY.
In the meantime IL is probable that
get-t0gether-club' will be formed
by Democratic members Of Council. and
that some new candidates acceptable
to both the "blg four and the "solid
six will be agreed upon. Thomas
Newell, candidate for clerk OF the
market, has withdrawn from the con-
test, and Thomas Monaghan, OF the
Third ward, viii probably not put any
other man in nomination owing to the
fact that he has aspirations to become
a member Of the next State Legislature
and does not care to enter any polltica
