WILKINSON HERE AGAIN
BUT ONLY FOR HIS SALE.
Pharmacy Closed Out to Preferred
Creditors at S2,32O--Charlotte
Goods Bought for $5.

Dr. Howard NJ. Wilkinson, who
eloped with his wife's sister and
wondered why State Detecti~- would
want Ito bring him back ITO Delaware
when he really loved her, re-appeared
in his pharmacy in Dover on Monday.
He was smiling and as he whisked
about in his summer serge, looked
none the worse for his varied ex-
periences OF the past fortnight. Public
opinion did not seem TO weigh feath-
erweight against his mental COM
posure.
His chief concern and the mission
upon which he came down from Phila-
delphia ON the midnight" was the
matter of the sale of his fine drug
store in which the society people of
Dover were wont to line up, might
after night, to refresh themselves
With frigid soda and gin fizz The sale
Was going on under the supervision of

had seized the store and contents in
behalf of the creditors of the doctor.
1t was the first time the store had been
opened since the runaway match or
escapade was discovered, two weeks
ago, and the large crowd that filed in
were more curious people than they
We're prospective purchasers.
Lawyer A. B. Magee made a few
bids for Wilkinson, but he did not ap~
pear ito want to go higher than $4,000.
Lawyer r. H. VanDyke managed to
get the whole thing knocked down to
him for $2,320, he paying that amount
and purchasing it for the preferred
crelitbrs DR.. Wilkinson had es.i-
mated the contents of his store and his
business to be worth $4,000 or over.
Then 1.-THE goods seized at Charlotte,
N. c." were put up for sale, but no
body seemed willing to take the chan
ces of ever getting back to Delaware
as easily as they got the runaway
doctor these goods with which he
proposed to stock his new store, for
the only bid offered was that of John
D. Hawkins, former counsel for Wilk-
inson, who offered S. and seemed sur
prised when Auctioneer R. S. Hurd
"called him.
While in town, the only man who
gave DR.. Wilkinson the least bit of
uneasiness was Mr.. Packard, the faith
er of his wife and his inamorata, and
him he studiously avoided. 'It would
only mean trouble said the son-in-
law when asked why he so lodged his
relative. He left o, nthe first after

REGULARS To
SHOW FIGHT.
Undaunted in Their Struggle
Against Addicks
AND BOSS RULE IN DELAWARE.
Will Hold County Convention Here
on September l5, and May Re-
buke Addiclks by Com
plete Regular Ticket.

Chairman Clark NJ. Mensoh and the
Regular Republican executive commit
tee of KenJ county, have decided TO
call the anti-Addicks Republicans into
county convention on September 10,
and there to nominate complete
ticket, taking care that none but the
most uncomprOmizing anti-Addicks
men go on for the Legislature.
Whether the complete" ticket will
include a district candidate for each
of the offices of sheriff, coroner, pro
thonotary, register of Wills, register
i'm chancery, county treasurer and
Levy courUmen, or whether The Regu-
lars would refuse to endorse the Ad-
dicks candidates 10 be nominated here
next Tuesday, could not be learned
There is, however, bad feeling between
the two factions of the Republicans
and they say harder things against
each other than they do against The
Democrats.
AT last election a scheme was pro
posed by such leading Republicans as
former Superintendent l. n Mills, for
fusion with the Democrat in the dis
tricts surely Republicans and in
doubtful districts, making sure that
some anti-Addicks men would be sent
Ito the General Assembly by this move.
Many Democrats objected to this plan,
not because it would mean amy sacri-
flee to them, but because they could
not satisfactorily explain why they
put Republicans on a Democratic tick
cit, and it fell through.
This plan, however, may be talked of
again as Assemblymen George c. Her
ring and John Satterfeld both had
close shaves for their seats, and fusion
in these districts, with IA little harder
work by the Democrats. would be
nothing Ito be sneezed at in the fight
against Addicks.
Chairman Mensch, while in town,
stated THAT the Regular Republicans
had put the Union men in the position
of either taking off DIR. George M. Mar
shall for Governor or practically elect
ing a Democratic administration in
Delaware.
"Tlhere is no use keeping him on

THE PEACH CROP MOVING.
Last Weeks Weather Caused Soma
Loss--Average Prices Rule.

The damp weather Cf last week in

We're bushels of it in many orchards
rosting ON the ground. Notwithstand-

many points were very heavy, and in
some of the markets prices have ruled

prices were paid for yellow fruit. 1t
is Thought there will be more heavy
shipments of yellow fruit this week.
Many of THE packing houses are put

NO MORE PRlZE-FIGHTS.
Notwithstanding Efforts of New York
Lawyers, Pugi1ism is No More.

New York, August 27.-Wiuh the APP
proach of September l, ON which date
the repeal of the Horton Boxing law
takes effect, fresh reports ARE current
of plans of the Tammany politicians,
who have monopoly of local prize
fighting, to contest the constitution
ality of the law prohibiting these So
called ''sparring matches" which are
really prize fights, as every one knows.
An enormous sum was spent ait AL
lbany last winter in the effort to de-
feat the repeal bill, for under the Hor-
ton law prize fighting has fourished
in New York as never before in any
city in the United States.
1t is understood that fight will be
arranged for an early date in Septem-
Iber, for purpose of getting a test
case before the court, and the Tam
many lawyers consulted say they will
prove the unconstitutionality of the
repeal or Lewis law
There are many who hold, though,
that, regardless of the result of this
contest, prize fighding has seen it's
best days here, because the followers
of THE ''sport" are beginning to realize
that most of rUhe matches are not real
contests. This was shown pretty well
at last weeks fight at Coney Island,
when, instead of a crowd of $4,000 or
more, only 5000 persons attended.

Fast Sport With Reed Birds.

The condition of the reeds along the
shores of lower Delaware give very
favorable indication that reed birds
will be plendllful this season, when
the protective law expires ON next Sat-
urday. The swamps and marshes are
filling with young ones and these are
fattening rapidly ON the abundant sup
ply of wild oats. The true sportsmen
will spend next week in getting his
gun in thorough order for fine shoot
ing, the arrivals thus far indicating
some fast sport. The season con-
tinues until about the time that the
birds resume their flight northward
at the appearance of the first big frost.

AT THE COLORED CAMP.
Variety of Typical Ideas Embodied
in a Verse and Chorus Used
This Season.

The colored camp meetings held ON
this peninsula tnls summer nave peen
comparatively orderly gatherings, NIT
WItns.andlng unat they We're largely
ATTENDED and were the whole thing
as regards am old-fashioned camp
meeting. One OF the favorite tunes
which has been carried around and is
now whistled on nearly every street
in the Stale is "Oh, Mary DON'T You
Weep" and it has been made more
unique by the adoption of entirely
secular verses, which, like the chorus
have very liutle significance of amy
kind. The song, with its most peculiar
verse is:
You oughter heard the preacher cuss
Ed,
He killed a chicken and gave him the
head;
But you oughter heard the preacher
laugh,
When he killed a chicken, gave him
half"
"oh, Mary, don't you weep; don't you
mourn;
Oh, Mary, don't you weep and don't
you mourn;
Pharaoh's army got drown-ded,
oh, Mary, don't you weep"
