State Committee Selects Dates
for Democratic Conventions.
KENT FOUNTAINS WANTED EARLIER
But Mr., Neary and Chairman Biggs
Maintained That They Only
Wanted One Primary and
Gould Not Proceed Un-
til After Now Castle
County Registration

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee met here yesterday afternoon
and practically opened the Democratic
State campaign for 1900 No express
sion was secured from the committee
regarding the possible pledging of the
State convention delegates for Bryan,
as the New Castle county committee
men managed to get through motion
TO adjourn late in the afternoon, i'm
mediately after the dates for holding
the conventions and primaries HAD
been decided upon. The Kent county
delegation made a strong objection.
through County Chairman A. N. Brown
and others to the alleged call made by
Patrick Neary, chairman of the Will
mington district, for primaries on Sep
tember 8, for State convention. 1--WE
may as we'll wait until after the general
election said one Kent countain, ''if
you are going to hold lis back with our
campaign work that long"
Mr.. Neary listened to the arguments
brought ITO bear against his action un-
til all had spoken, when he declared
that the primary election law as now
applied TO the city of Wilmington now
prevent the voting for any delegates
to a convention nominating State Off
GERS or Representative in Congress un-
til the voters so participating had
registered. Voting for delegates to
nominate Presidential electors, how
ever, is made an exception. Chairman
Biggs, who was president of the Con-
stitutional Convention, upheld this
opinion, and the New Castle county
delegates won the day, the convention
was called for September IL, after
primary elections are held ON Saturday,
September s.
Mr.. Neary also claimed that the
Union Republicans had gotten in ahead
of the Democrats in Wilmington by
making the first application to the
Department of Elections for the Regis
tration books on the Wednesday fol-
lowing the registration day, and as the
laws gives any party the privilege for
holding the books for two days, the
Union Republican convention will
therefore, be held first of all, on Au.

STARTLING CLUE FOUND
INTHE KERNlG MYSTERY.
Two Men Were Seen Seated In a Field
Beside the Slain Family's Home
Prior to Finding the Bodies.

Cam bridge, Md, May IA start
ling tale which may throw some light
on the gruesome killing of aged Carl
Kernig, his wife and their son, was told
to-day by Silas Simpson, of this place.
1t may ibe that it remained for him to
have seen the men who committed
the crime and who, drawn by that
terrible fascination which follows
wherever murderers may go, returned
to the scene of their ghastly deed.
On Thursday afternoon Simpson was
passing the Kernig house. 1t was
then several hours prior to the terrible
discovery made by John A. Tschantre.
In field within stones throw of the
humble dwelling were two men, whom
Simpson had never seen before. They
were seated upon the ground, and so
earnest were they i'm conversation that
apparently neither saw the passerby.
AS long as Simpson remained in sight
the men were still in their original
position.
Simpson has related this story to the
authorities and has given them de-
scriptions of the persons whom he saw
A strenuous effort will be made to dis
cover their identity.
The session of Dorchester County
Court interfered to-day with the
investigation into the case. State At
torney Harrington was so busy that he
was unable to devote any of his time
to the mystery, and it is altogether
likely that nothing will be done unit
after the term of court is over.
1t is now the theory that the Kernis
murderers poisoned their victims be-
fore slaughtering them-that having
administered deadly drug they chok
ed them, with the ropes found twisted
about their necks. This would have
made the killing quite an easy matter.
