dawned in this city yesterday it re-
vealed a scene Of desolation and the
evidences of the violence and lawless-
ness unparalleled in the history of the

work and had dispersed. The city

ruins and beside It steamed the water
soaked ashes Of Columbia HALL The
police force of the city was disorgan-
iged and scattered The chief was fee
ing in desperation from the scene of
bloOdshed. riot and burning, crazed by
what his men had done.
Electric wires, deadly to the touch,
lay across the streets in the vicinity
of the burned buildings and debris of
all kinds was scattered far and near.
The down town streets were just as
the mob left them, and although moth
ing was being done by the rioters,
crowds of spectators, hundreds in
number, hung around, waiting for
something to turn up"
At o'clock the crowds began TO In

Mayor Young has issued a proclama-
tion calling on the people 10 remain at
their homes and to keep the streets
clear.
During the day wild rumors were
current that mobs we're being formed
to go to Cleveland and lynch Peck, but
there was no good ground for the
rumor. The arrival OF the troops dis
tracted the attention of those lawlessly
inclined and had a salutary effect on
those who would have delighted In a
recurrence or the rioting.
The rumor that Chief of Police Har-
rison had become insane and fed
caused a great deal Of comment. AL
though Mayor Young is criticised,
somewhat, for his contradictory
speeches. a great deal Of the blame for
the rioting IS placed on the shoulders
of Chief Harrison. The city officials
secured the old postofice, corner OF
Mill street and Broadway, for temper
airy quarters.
At a conference at the Buchtel hotel
between Mayor Young and the militia
officers, dead lines were established
and soldiers were placed in different
parts Of the downtown section Of the
city.

Georgetown, Aug. 24.-As was an
nounced several days ago the Republi-
cans of Sussex county named a complete
ticket yesterday, at the county conven-
tion. Republicans had anticipated the
calling Of the convention and County
Chairman Robert G. Houston's an
nouncement Of the date was simply the
completion Of the details that have been
undergoing preparation for some time.
In the convention the most representa-
tive Republicans of the county were as
semblcd. All the delegates are we'll
known Republicans who gathered to
name a ticket that all Republicans could
support.
Each candidate has strong personal
following and unless the ticket is en-
dorsed by the Addieksites the latter will
lose many votes. The ticket is regarded
as the strongest ever nominated in the
county.
Thomas n Rawlins. Of Seaford was
named as chairman Of the convention.
and William J. Mustard. Of Seaford, Sec
retary.
The ticket which was nominated with
ont friction is as follows

Staff Correspondence Evening Journal.
Dover, Aug. 24-Convention No. 2,
owned and controlled by J. Edward Ad-
dicks, met in the Court House here yes
terday. There was very little interest or
enthusiasm shown at the snap conyen-
ton on August 6, but that Of yesterday
was even less enthusiastic This time the
delegates did not even applaud their
leader-the gas man-when he entered.
He was given no more recognition than
the humblest delegate. As a prominent
Addicksite said to-day: "Addicks has
overstepped the bounds. He is becoming
too overbearing."
An effort was made by Addicks Alice,
Layton. Marshall and several other Of
the leaders to arouse enthusiasm, but all
to no avail. One Of the leaders would
loudly start to applaud in forlorn hope
that the delegates would follow. But
they did not 1t used to be that they

The ticket nominated was the same as
the one named on August c, with the ex-
ception Of state auditor and electors. The
electors nominated by the Republicans on
Tuesday were accepted. and in place Of
Daniel ]. Layton as state auditor, who is
now one Of the electors, Obed W. Marvil,
of Sussex county, nephew Of the late

ant-governor.
DIR. Caleb r. Layton. of Georgetown,
for long term congressman.

for the convention was not read, as this
was done at the convention on August 6,
