CHARGES FOR
TWO OFFICERS
Officers Moran and Freeman Will
be Tried Monday Night.
COMMISSIONER HART ILL
This Caused the Decision to be Again
Reserved in the Cases ofSergeant
George Lucas and Off
Ger John F. Welsh.
COMMISSIONERS HART ILL

1t was expected that at the meeting
decision would be given in the matter of
the charges against Sergeant George
Lucas and Officer John r. Welsh, of
conduct unbecoming an officer and of
conduct injurious to the public peace.
A hearing had been held last Saturday
afternoon but as Commissioner Hart, the
only Democratic member of the Board
was not present, no decision was given
at that time.
The evidence was taken down by a
stenographer and it was the intention
to present it to Commissioner Hart at
the meeting last night.
Commissioner Hart was, however, un-
able to be present at the meeting and
the Board again decided to postpone Civ
ing Il decision.
The matter will now come up at the
next meeting of the Board which will
be held on next Monday night, instead
of on Tuesday night, as Tuesday will be
New Years Day.
Commissioners Pyle and Clarkson,
however, held short discussion over the
matter and ordered that charges also be
preferred against Officers S. j. Moran
and Harry b. Freeman.
Their cases will also be brought up
at Monday nights meeting.
Officers Moran and Freeman were at
the saloon at Third and Pine streets
when the fight occurred between Lucas
and Welsh. The officers had tried to
stop the fight The officers made no
arrests and preferred no charges against
their brother officers and it is said this
will be the basis of the charges.

LIPT0N's CUP PLANS.
Dnvid Barrie. His American Agent,
Now en- Route to Europe.

NOW en- hDute TO GurOpes
New York, Dec. 26.-David Barrie, the
American representative of Sir Thomas
Upton, has sailed on the st. Louis, al
though his name did not appear on the
passenger list. He said
Il do not know why l am going abroad.
| received cable from Sir Thomas in
structing me to hurry over and am obey
ing his command. / think he wants to
see me in connection with the challenge
for the Americas cup and preparations
for the arrival of the Shamrock III. A
great deal of preliminary work is neces-
sary with the coming of a challenger,
such as drydock facilities, supplies for,
the boat and crew, chartering of scows
for extra spars, hiring of tugs for dis
patch and hauling services, the procuring
of steam launches as tenders and the
like. 1t is difficult to go into detail con-
cerning these preliminalies by letter, and
l presume that Sir Thomas prefers to
talk it over in person. / have already
ordered the two tenders for the Sham
rock III. They are being built in New
Jersey and will be very fast. Sir Thomas
spent lot of money two years ago to
lift the cup, but that outlay will be small
as compared with the cost of this years
attempt.
''In the first place, the construction ac-
count of the Shamrock III is to be more
costly than was that of Shamrock l. |
am not at liberty to go into any particu-
| lars as to the material to be used in the
new boat, but it is more valuable than
was the stuff used in the boat which Sir
| Thomas brought here in 1898. There is
no secrecy as to where the new Shamrock
is building. She is being put together at
Denny's yard, at Dumberton. The talk
of the model tank being the purpose of
building at Denny's is all rot. 1t is true
that the Dennys have the only private
model testing tank in the world, but of
what use is their tank when the plans
and drawings of the Shamrock have been
completed and the boat itself commenced
long ago. OF course we are all quite
| anxious to know what Herreshoff is do
| ing, for he is our stumbling block, and
we are not any more overconfdent than
| we were when we came here with chal-
lenge in 1898. We intend to try hard to
lift the cup. That's all we can do"
A dispatch from Bristol, r. l., says:
The work OF uncovering the lead keel
for the new cup defender which is in
| process of construction here has begun.
A large amount of clay has been banked
around the keel mold to keep it from
spreading during the cooling of the lead
and considerable work will be necessary
to remove this.
"rhe next step will be cleaning and
trimming up the keel Work on the
angle line for the smaller frame at bow
and stern is progressing rapidly, as is
the boring Of boltholes in the Tobin
bronze plates. for the hull"

THE OBJECT
WAS HIDDEN
Air Of Mystery About Gathering Of
Democrats at Dover.
A VERY UNPOPULAR PLAN
Wilson 7. Cavender Favored Voting
for Two Regulars but His Sem
timents Were Not Received
With Any Favor.

Dover, Dec. 26.-There was much
mystery about today's gathering OF
working Democrats" Its inception
was yelled and very clandestinely work
ed up. The object was hidden way down
in the trousers pockets of the very few
gentlemen who hoped to profit by it,
and as one of the old time Democrats put
it this afternoon, ''be hanged if the
proceedin's weren't of the mystery order
Also"
About 200 representatives of the party
from all over the State were here on
time, and the delegations included all
the Democratic Assemblymen-elect, or
supposed to elect, and holding over, ex-
cept Senator Farlow of Sussex, Senator
Clements of Kent, who was in Brooklyn
and Representative Hardesty of Kent
who simply wasn't here because he didn't
come When they were all corroled in
the Kent court room, Senator Slaughter
Of Kent was placed on guard in the
corridor to see that nothing looking like
a newspaper man came within earshot
of the meeting room doors.
For about two hours those on the
inside discussed the situation, Wilson T..
Cavender of Smyrna, leading in the
Speecumuk1US. WuSOu IdNOFeu fOIluB
for two Regulars" but though he spoke
for forty minutes and held up the 'untar-
nished shield" of Delaware Democracy
until the rooster thereon grew tired, his
hearers gave no sign of acquiescing in
his views.
In truth his sentiments were received
by an atmosphere that was several de-
grees below freezing point, and it was
plain the meeting wasn't in for the plan.
Several canyasses followed among
those present, but when the gathering
dissolved to assembly again next Monday
evening, each individual felt convinced
that hr knew about as much about the
Democratic outline for legislature cam
paign as he did when he left home this
morning, and no more.
The meeting, however, did develop
something that was not down ON the
program, and that was not very palatable
to some of the leaders either, and the
plainly evidenced determination by sew
eral of the Democratic members-elect to
choose their own candidate if a break
is made to aid in the election of Republi-
can Senators by Democratic votes. There
were some men there who made no
secret of the fact that they We're no more
opposed to Mr.. Addicks than to any other
Republican, and who owe some long
standing grudges to few of the men
whom the Regulars would probably serve
up to them.

an insect.
On Monday swelling increased, the
pimple became discolored, and hard and
the swelling spread over the right side
of the face. When DIR. Morgan saw his
patient Tuesday morning he found him
in state of collapse. The boys condi-

called on him again at noon. BY that
time, purple spots had made their appear

o'clock.
