The meeting was IA long and exciting

strongly against the signing Of any
agreement with the Democrats which
might III any way be construed as sur

REPUBLICANS ii Cal
IN DELAWARE
Interesting Editorial From
To=day's Philadelphia
Times.

The Philadelphia Tines today
say editolally, Delaware isn't very
big State, but the Republican party
there, split into two belligerent
columns with the dividing line
rather close to the middle, isn't big
enough to carry the State. They
have tried it several times and
uniformly failed by which they lost
two United States Senators.
President Mckinley doesn't
wart to lose the State OF Delaware
in November, small as is its cleo
toral votes, and he has brought the
disputing factions together to con-
vince them that it would be very
much better for each side to take
half the Offices Of the State, includ-
in. the Scholarships, than for both
sides to get none. The result is
that conferences are about to be
inargu:atcd to bring the two fac
tons together, whereby each could
get 4 Scnatorship from the next
Legislature.
Mr.. Addicks, who has been run
ming a Senatorial auction in Della
ware for some years past, always
ending in defeat alike for himself
and party, has announced his
willingness to harmonic with the
other side on equal distribution OF
the dcics alton to the national con-
vcntion and the offices of the State.
In parting the Senatorial raiment
he proposes that the candidate
receiving the highest vote shall
have the long term, and the one
receiving the second highest shall
have the short term. AS Addicks
would be next to certain to have
the largest vote, he would thereby
get the long term in the Senate.
Delaware isn't Democratic
according to the teachings Of the
Democracy Of today. 1t would yet
be Democratic State with an hon.
est Democratic party maintaining
honest Democrats principles; but
between Democratic demoraliza-
ton and the great growth Of
business interests, the State is now
fairly Republican on square vote;
and if the Republican factionists
can harmonilc their differences
they would be likely TO make a
clean sweep of Governor, State
Offices, Legislature and two Scna-
tors at the next election.

A Handsome Cane,

! The presence of Col. Thomas
Johnson of Reeds Wharf, brings to
our memory the contest for a hand
some cane which occurred at a
Catholic Fair, held in the Institute
building some years ago. There
was considerable rivalry for the
cane, which cost about SIS. The
late James O'Tool, who was Chief
Of Police, wished to honor the late
Major Vim. G. Whitley with the
cane, and canvassed the city for
votes. A friend proposed that Capt.
Nathaniel n. Benson. ST., should
be contestant for the cane, and
Col. Johnson took charge OF the
contest. The result was that the
votes aggregated over 1000 at 81
each, and Captain Benson was de-
clared by Father Lyons to be the
winner. At the death of Captain
Benson the cane came into the pos
SEES sion Of his son, N. h. Benson,
and after the latter's death it was
presented to Col. Johnson, who
prizes It very highly.

TROUBLESOME
MARY COWAN.
The Principal Witness in
the Eyre Case Causes
Trouble in Jail.

Mary Cowan is off once more.
The girl is still in Jail. She is the
principal witness against Jim
Pierce in the Eyre murder case.
She alleges that in drunken stu
por Pierce told her OF the murder
and of the location of the Eyre boat
on the New Jersey shore. some
time ago she was committed to New
Castle in default of fine and costs.
Recently she has been acting III
very disorderlv manner. She has
become almost uncontrollabe. Chief
Night Warden John b. Hance is de-
termined that the Homan shall not
throw the Jail into chaos. On Mon
day night she commenced TRADE
with James Mundv, who is insane,
and he became very restless in his
cell. Warning after warning from
the warden to the girl had nocitect
in quoting her. First she would
shout across the corridor to Monty
lao A. Cole and then 10 Mundy AID
then after annoying the other in
mates of the cell, would shout
through the open window.
Forcearance reached an end and
Warden Hance decided that he
would put her in No. 10 cell, which
is the dungeon. Accompanied by
Warden Barnes he went to her cell
and took her by the wrists. They
infol med her that they would take
her to the dungeon. She resisted
and Warden Hance told her that
she would be cooled of by hose
bath. But the hose was too short
to reach the cell and while the war
dens were taking her TO the corridor
Assistant Jail Physician Munson
arrived and told them that consld-
ering her condition it would not be
proper to use the hose. Tnc girl
begged to be allowed to remain in
her cell and promiscdto keep quiet.
Chief Night Warden Hance is au-
thority for the statement that Mary
Cowan is completely 'otf. y She Is
not little off but is all the way at
times. In his opinion she is not
the sort Of a witness Il jury coI!l
believe where a human lite hang S
in the balance. New Castle Jail has
large population at present and
with such girl acting in such a
manner there might be whole lots
OF trouble.
