WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, THURSDAY sEPTENIBER6 g. 19(

we recognize the fact that the RepubIi-
cans cnnnot nessiblv elect either district
county Ur state candidates. We have
been hoping that the Regular Repub-
licans in Kent and Sussex counties
would show as strong a desire to defeat
the Democrats in Kent and Sussex as
we have to do in New Castle. We have
been hoping that what would seem fair
for one side in one part Of the State,
would be just as fair i'll the other part
of the State. Since, however, it APP
pears that that faction having most
loyalty for the Republican party must
make the first sacrifice, we are today GO
ing to lay our offering on the Republican
alter. We therefore, agree today that
there shall be held in New Castle coun-
ty common primary, and that the sue
cessful candidates whoever they may
he, shall be accorded and given the ac-
tive and earnest support of all Republic
cans regardless of past fractional affilia-
tions. Whatever may be the ulterior
motives attributed to us by our Demo-
cratic opponents, we declare in all hon
esty and candor, that the one and single
motive and object we have in view. in
this and whatever else we may do in this
campaign, is for the sole purpose of
| overthrowing the Democracy in this
State and the country.

NEW STATION In THIS DEAL
This City May Expect One as Result
of Pennsylvania Railroads pur-
chase of Property.

In fllftherance Of the plan for building
Il new and larger passenger station in
this city and eievating it's tracks, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
acquired four more blocks Of ground adj
joining that already held. This will give
the road possession Of SIX blocks in the
central part of the city. The new prop
erty is between Front and Water and
French and Orange streets.
The company is said to have control of
i'll the real estate between French and
King streets, excepting that of Bernard
Carr, and ii has all the property needed
between Market and King streets.
From Market to Shipley the transfer Of
only one property is in doubt.
From Shipley to Orange street the
company has an option on all the real
estate excepting that of John A. Nc
Gowan, who has saloon at Front and
Shipley streets. Mr.. McGowan has been
made a good offer for his prope ty, but
has withheld from closing the deal 1t
is believed that these owners will shortly
come to terms.
Negotiations for the real estate have
been conducted by an agent of the com
pany from the Philadelphia offices. He
has been accompanied by Wilmington
real estate dealer. who has knowledge
of value in that neighhorhood. The own
ers have been told that the railroad de-
Sires an additional width Of fifty feet Of
land to he used rs a local freight yard
hut there is belief that the land is de-
sired for different purposes. This deal
will cost the company over two hundred
thousand dollars.
Eventually an effort is to be made to
get the real estate between Orange and
Tntnall streets, Il square further west.
The present options expire September
Goth.

GATE TENDERS long HOURS.
They Are Complaining About Rail

Gate tenders along the r.. w. & B.
Railroad Company's tracks in this city
are very indignant over an order which
has been issued by Gamble Latrohe. one
Of the officials of the company, whereby
the gate tenders Il e compel, d TO work
Is hours on Sunday
The new order W mt into effect last
Sunday and the gate tenders now have
to work from a. M. until p. m. every
day i'll the week making a total of 105

WEAKNESS SHOWN
 IN STOCK MARKET Dropping Tendency of Prices
 Proved Too Much. LONDON NOT ENCOURAGED. Good News From South Africa Seemed to Have No Effect on the Mar
 ket-General Tone Was
 Reactionary.
LONDON NOT ENCOURAGED

New York, February 16.-The dropping tendency of prices proved too much to be overcome, and the majority of stocks show net losses on the day. In the standard stocks the losses are small, but the decline from the early high range was considera- ble The opening was above last nights level in sympathy with London, but even the initial transactions, the weakness of local traction stocks and of Pacific Mail served to unsettle the market.
 Prices sagged pretty steadily from that time until the bears operating among the room traders started to cover their short contracts in the final dealings. This rallied the level of the market from the lowest, but the movement was listless and entirely without force. London was not encouraged by it's good news from South Africa to buy stocks here. and in fact prices saggeo III the home market. Consols lost all Of their early gains supposedly on the imminence of a new issue. But traders were disposed to take profits at all points, even Rand mines showing a sharp reaction from the early advance.
 There was no occasion for surprise, there fore that the local market failed to hold 
 The bears had not as much ammunition in the shape of the weakness of special stocks as they had yesterday, but the general tone of the market was nevertheless reaction ary.
 Sterling exchange hardened a fraction in responce to the higher discount rates in London. The declaration of the first divi- dend on the new profemed stock of the Baltimore and Ohio was fully expected and was without influence on the market. There was good absorption of some dor manent railroad bonds at advanced prices, but changes generally were irregular. There was quite an active market for government bonds, presumably on account of the pas- sage of the refunding bill by the senate. Total sales of railroad bonds, par value, $2,025 900.
