gence in drink and the resulting
loss Of his employment in the
Raritan Copper Works, awoke
early this morning, aroused his wife
and several children, and declared
he would kill himself.
He procured his shotgun, placed
the muzzle to his breast, pulled the
trigger with mis- toe and dropped
dead, with a frishtful hole torn in
his body.
Luke's tragic end recalls the
murder OF his daughter, Sarah over
a year ago. She was married to a
negro, who in a fit OF jealous rage
shot and killed her. lie paid the
death penalty for his crime.

If the Republicans really wish to
eject their candidates to the various
offices in our State at the coming
election, they must stop their bick-
erings aud determine to support
the nominees, whoever they may be.
There must be union Of both
wings Of the party or the Demo-
Gratis will elect their candidates
and control the offices in the State
tor years to come. Such result
will be calamity that every true
Republican must wish to avoid.
To defeat the party because of op.
position to one Objectionable cand.
date. would be as foolish as to
scuttle ship and drown the entire
crew, because one obiectiona able
passenger happened to get aboard.
The party should not be wrecked
to punish any one. We should first
save it, and, after having accom-
plished that, offenders could be
looked after. The man who COM
mits suicide is generally said to
have been insane. and sensible per-
Bons should avoid so being spoken
OF from their party actions. In the
effort to punish any one, we should
not overthrow ourselves and ruin
our friends. Let all be sensible
and not act like lunatics or chill
dren. The wise man forseeth the
evil and avoideth it, while the tool
ish one presses on and is punished.
Let all take warning, and for the
sake of the party and good govern.
ment, sacrifice our preiudices and
help save our country from the rule
of a party that would ruin 1t.

ITEM SFRQM. -.
NEWCASTLE,
April 5th, 1901

There will be an important meet
ing of the Athletic Association held
this evening at Mayor Boyd's Of
fee. Ameng those outside of New
Castle who have forwarded checks
to the Association to help build the
fence around the base ball grounds
are William S. Hilles and John
Biggs, two leading members of the
New Castle county bar. Every one
in New Castle takes a deep inter-
est in the base ball club. But
every one cannot take shares of
stock in the association. The time
is coming, however. when each one
will be asked to help put the asso-
citation on good financial footing.
Some persons have the idea that
every stockholder is to receive
free pass to every game. Such an
idea is wrong one. New Castle
base ball players want to have
good team and they are going to
have it.
Thomas McDonough who has
been at work in Baltimore, on a
new dry dock, has returned to New
Castle. He will be employed by
the Delaware Construction Com
panv and will have charge of the
engine used in driving the pillng
along the route OF the New Castle
and Delaware City Electric Rail
way. The work OF driving the pill
ing is progressing rapidly as is also
the ditchlng across the meadows.
Easter music is being rehearsed
by the choirs Of the different
churches.
The weather prophets have been
knocked to the back ground by the
present weather.
The present cold weather is in.
tertering greatly with the catch of
shad About 600 shad came in
here yesterday which is an aver
age OF less than ten shad to a boat.
The bav fishermen sent up their
share OF the catch and six naptha
launches put in here with shad.
Eighteen boxes of the toothsome
fish were shipped by Adams Ex-
press Company lastnight. A num-
Der Of the fishermen complained
bitterly OF the cold Yesterday and
they were SO affected by its pierre
ing touch that they refused to 60
out today. Shad WHOLESALERS here
at from SIS to $50 a hundred.
Andrew Olson has removed from
Delaware street to North Third
street.
About o.. Is o'clock last night the
large ocean steamship Mackinaw,
Captain Musslewhite of the Trans
Atlantic line, stuck fast in the
middle ground, west of the eastern
channel, directly opposite Della
ware street wharf. this city.
The vessel was outward bound
and laden with 1850 tons of mer-
chandise for London, England.
Several attempts were made to back
the vessel off by means of her own
engines but she remained firmly in
the soft mud.
John NJ. Vallette was called to
New York yesterday, on account o.
the death of his nephew, Henry
Rodfcus. Mr.. Nallette will return
on Saturday. This is the fourth
death in the family within a short
period. Two of the deceased are
relatives of Mr.. Vallette and two
relatives of Mrs. Vallette.

divisions close to Bloemiontein.
