Another Death May be the
Result
The Wounded Men We're Strikers Who
Attempted to Block Street
Car Traffic

SC. Louis, May 25.-The rioting and
bloodshed of Wednesday in the street
car strike gave way yesterday to com
paratiye peace and quiet. The entire
day was absolutely without incident,
except perhaps more cars were run
than on any day since the strike was
lnaugurated At night, however, the
status Of affairs suddenly veered and a
repetition of Wednesdays events was
witnessed.
At 8 o'clock a car, presumably filled
with imported men, left the Union sta
tion for the railway sheds In the far
western section of the city. When the
car reached the intersection Of Park
and Compton avenues II was stopped
by mob OF strike sympathizers who
made a hostile demonstration. Frag-
mentary accounts received are to the
effect that as soon as the car was
halted the men on board opened on the
crowd with o fusillade. John s. Hard
ing. a striking motorman, was hit by
a bullet and win probably die. Don
aid Watts. another striking motor
man, received a serious bullet wouni
and an unknown bystander was slight

STAFF Correspondence Evening Journal.
Georgetown, May 24.-Charles w. Nc
Fee. Of Georgetown, for many years
senator Gray's secretary, is a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination for
representative in Congress. His
friends say that Sussex and not Kent,
is entitled to make the nomination.
They base their claim on the fact that
the rotation jumps from New Castle 70
Sussex, and say that Mr.. Handy was q
Kent county man when he had his hrst
nomination and that the next time ne
was from New Castle.
In Sussex county the old anti-Sauls-
bury feeling is at work in Democratic
circles against Willard Salisbury, Jr.,
and Biggs stock is ON the boom in all
the lower hundreds. There is more OF
less Salisbury sentiment, but the Biggs
men are forcing it to the background
in all directions.
Gen. Willard II. Stevens, Of Seaford
and Charles w. McFee. of Georgetown
would like to represent Sussex county
in the Kansas City Convention.
At the meeting Of the Democratic
County Executive Committee yesterda,
arrangements were made for the pri
maries to elect delegates to the Stat
Convention to elect six delegates to thi
Kansas City Convention. The committe
also considered a list Of names to bl

and Brasure, the short-term senator,
in the Four district. John w. Green,
and George Graeff wanted to go from

dicks machine blasted their hopes and
made Robert Reese Layton the favor

1t is said that Dr. Layton has prom
ised the shrievalty nomination to John
II. Steele. OF Frankfort but it is the
general impression that the Steele
boom is n pretense, and that Former
State Senator d. o. Moore, of Laurel,
may have the sop thrown to him,
whether Steele likes it or not.

are in a pother Mark l.. Davis desire
TO spend another Winter in Dover is
met by George Clendaniel, Of near Lin
coin, who thinks that the Layton in
fiuence cannot prevent him from de-
feating Davis at the primaries. David
II. Reed, Of Ellendale. and one or two
others who live in Milford, also believe
they can defeat Davis.
"a man who voted for Stockley, a
Democrat. in 1882, and boasted of it
afterwards, should keep his hands out
hundred" seems to be the sentiment
there against DR.. Layton.
DR.. Layton says he wants to be a
presidential elector on the Addicks
ticket. He denies that he wants to GO
to Congress. One thing that makes
him hate President Mckinley so bit
terly is that he wanted to be sent on a
foreign mission and was turned down
The punctual appearance Of members
of the Addicks County Committee in
Georgetown is explained by the local
supposition that its members receive sc
much money a day and a mileage al
| lowance for their attendance.
The general sentiment expressed
among Republicans In this county is
that if the Philadelphia Convention
seats the Republican delegates there
will be a stampede of Addicks voters tc
the Republican ranks. Reports re-
ceived from the western part OF the
county are especially encouraging e
the Republicans. The Republican
strength is growing constantly. In all
parts of the county the signs point tc

1898. when the workers were unable tc

KENNEY CHANGED FRONT
ON THE QUAY CONTEST

Dover, May "a It is rumored here
that the Prettymans. Of Milford, who
are Free Silver Republican supporters
of Bryan, are supporting Hollands
boom for the Democratic nomination
for representative in Congress. They
are related to him by marriage.
Former State Senator Wilson T..
Cavender and Unitd States Senator
Wilson T. Lavender are anxious to rep

Convention.
Senator Kenney's attitude on the
Quay question is puzzling at least two
men prominent in Democratic circles.

clares that Mr.. Kenney assured him
that he would vote against the Penn

Middletown, May 25.-This is the
home hundred of Former Attorney
General John Biggs, and local pride
is involved in his candidacy for the
United States Senate. While formerly
the Biggs and Cochran factions war
red FOR supremacy in this section the
Salisbury manipulators seem to be un-
able to stir up that old factional feel
ing to serve their purposes in breaking
down the hold Of Mr.. Biggs on party
politics here. Even DIR. Gilpin, who
was a legislative aspirant Of the elev-
enth-hour kind two years ago, is quies-
cent Colpitts, the candidate for the
Democratic nomination for state SEN
ator, is a railroad man and Biggs
man. The Salisbury contingent can
not break him down. They have tried
and failed. He has developed strength
RAPIDLY beneath the fostering care Of
the Biggs element. The presumption
is that Former Recorder of Deeds
James Z. Shallcross will make the
winning fight for nomination for the
Houge.
There was a time when a Demo
cratic nomination in St. Georges hun
dred was equivalent to an election, Dut
in recent years the hold of the Demo
Gratis has been loosening gradually un-
til it has become debatable ground
whenever Democratic feeling Is
aroused by internal dissension. From
the time the Middletown Transcript
passed into the hands of the Repub
licans there has been falling OIL II
tile Democratic majority in the hun
dred. When Merritt n. Willets, Re
publican, ran for the State Senate h'
carried it, but Shallcross, Democrat
for representative, had majority o
but fifteen Charles Fl. Salmons, th'
Democratic senatorial candidate, wol
by his manipulation Of the colorel
vote over in the Peneader hundred en-
of the district, which Is normally Re
publican 1t is said that not fewe
than seventy-fve colored votes wer
cast for Mr.. Salmons. It also is al
legged that two Addicks lieutenants, on
white and the other colored sold ou
to the Democrats. These circumstance
gave the Democrats a majority
about 100 votes in a hundred whic
normally is Republican.
The Addicksites in this section are
bad shape. They are without leader
ship. When John M. Clayton, Jr, wa
the head and front of Addicksism hel
he manipulated large colored vol
and the purchasable element of ii
Democratic majority so SUI
cessfully that he threatened
nut the Democrats in the minority
hut he is dead, and there is no AZ
dicksite here capable Of taking h
place. There are few white men
