Nothin' dom yesterday
Long the waterfront,
Everybody'd gone up town
On a pleasure hunt.
Stevedores and sailormen,
Beachcombers and crimps,
Dressed up in their Sunday toys,
Mischievous as imps.
Shippers, cooks and cabin-boys,
All men who work for pay.
Forsook their various sailing-craft
To honor Labor Day.
The inter-island steamboats,
Lay idle in a bunch
While lonely watchmen on the wharves
Ate poi and fish for lunch.
The peace-pervaded harbor
Was a restful sight to see,
Though the few who had to labor
Envied those who were so free.
Beneath the red-hot tropic sun,
| Throughout the holiday.
The Customs men worked bravely-
Their reward will come some day.
And the Waterman at the pilot house
| Gazed ever on the sea,
Bethinking him, with pipe in mouth,
| OF days that used to be.
| From uptown came the music
OF Berger's glorious band,
And the restless ones on shipboard
Wished hard for solid land
For though by happy hundreds
The salts had gone ashore,
Some needs must stay on duty
Though many sulked and swore.
Big ships lying idle,
Anchored in the stream,
Tor safely moored alongshore,
Wind machines, and steam.
Flags aflying gaily,
Shippers out in style,
Crews -ataking in the town
For little while
All along the waterfront,
All around the bay,
Silenced the voice of commerce,
Just for a single day.

DEMOCRATS
HOLD ELECTION
County Committeeman Chosen
in the Various Contested
Districts

Democrats elected county committee
men in several contested districts on
Saturday afternoon. The contests
arose over the question as to whether
the Democratic Levy Courtmen are
eligible to denomination under the
rules Of the party. AS now constituted,
the County Committee will stand solid
ly in favor of the present rules, which
provide for rotation OF Levy Court
nominations among the various hum
dreds in each district The new COM
mittee will stand nine to four in favor
of the present rules.
The issue is caused by the candidacy
Of Levy Courtman Harry NJ. White for
denomination.
In White Clay Creek hundred the
contest for county committeeman was
between Charles B. Evans, an advocate
of the rules. and John w. Morrison, IA
vorable to removing the rotation re-
striction. A heavy vote was polled
and Mr.. Evans was elected by a major
/ ity Of Sc. In New Castle hundred An
drew NJ Gallagher defeated Patrick

ana hundred John Ramsey defeated
/ Robert Blakely by a large majority

feated George w. Geist by a majority
of 40 In each district the question Of
adherence to the rules entered into the
primaries.

The three men Unexpectedly came
upon the camp Of the outlaws. Sher-
i'll Taylor and Sam Jenkins dismounted
and started to walk up to them. When

They had left their guns on their
horses when they dismounted, and as
they turned to go to their horses they
were shot in the back.

and came here. where he told his story
and telegraphed Governor Wells for
assistance. The dead officers were
fearless men, and the people are great

few miles south of West Chester late
last Tuesday night and acted so sus-

and scared the negro away. Appar-

within a few miles Of the Morrison
house, and at o'clock in the afternoon
he walked into Westtown. This settle

scene OF the murder.

GIRLS MURDERER RETURNS
TO THE SCENE OF HIS CRIME
TO REMOVE EVIDENCE OF GUILT

West Chester, May 2S.-With the in
habitants Of all the little communities
on the Wilmington pike searching for
the man who Killed Stella Morrison in
her house at Darlington Corners, this
murderer had the nerve to return to
the scene OF his crime. He broke into
the house in the hope of regaining an
article which the police have in their
possession, and which they regard as
a piece OF evidence of the highest inn
portance.
The murderer must have returned to
the house some time between 6 o'clock
Saturday night and 10 o'clock yester-
day morning.
AT 6 o'clock Saturday the windows
of the house, which had been closed
and locked by the coroner had not
been disturbed. When the fact that the
front window OF the house had been
broken open became known it was first
blamed on curiosity seekers. But Chief
of Police Jefferis. made a statement
last night that changed the whole as
pect Of this occurrence.
1t has been generally supposed that
in the murder of Stella Morrison a
heavy wood and iron shoe block was
uotd 90 a WIdDJAs HIS udu a. AtN
blood stains on it, and wisp or twC
of hair But Chief Jefferis says th'
shoe block was not used, and that h'
has in his possession the weapon with
which the murder was really commit
ted. What sort of instrument that il
he will not tell, but he is ready to ad
init that it will help him nightly il
landing the criminal who startle,
Chester county with the most shocking
murder it has ever known.
TWO NEW LINES OF INQUIRY.
All the farmers of the countrysid,
and the inhabitants of the hamlet
followed Stella Morrison's body to tn
grave. They had scarcely known tn
woman who had lived a secluded, un
sociable life with the Morrisons, fathe
and son.
And now that the inquest has liftel
u suspicion from both Of these men, nov
that it has been proved that old Morri
son wore the same suit of clothes from
n morning until night on the day of tn
Il murder and that this clothing bore n

1t is said by the strikers that less
