Some people we know give

We often hear people say,
"what a pity, he was such a

The great pleasure of our ex-

TRUE TO HIMSELF

In itself the seaford postmastership
is small thing, but in its relation to
the Republican party in the state IL
represents a big principle.
After the Committee on Credentials
had voted to recommend the seating
OF the Addicks delegation and after
the National Convention had acqui-
esced in that action, a question arose in
the public mind as to the effect that
determination of the Delaware case
would have on the mind OF President
Mckinley.
The Addicksites boldly asserted that
the president would recognize them at
once and that, Mr.. Hoffecker being
dead, J. Edward Addicks, the national.
committeeman, would succeed Colonel
DUPONT as the accredited representa-
tive of Republican interests in Della
ware.
Before going to Philadelphia the Re
publicans had full confidence in the
consistency and integrity OF the Com
mitiee on Credentials. When that body
wantonly violated all precedents, turned
its back on Delaware Republicanism
and sought to force Addicks and Ad-
dicksism on the party, the Repubn-
cans, while fully determined never to
accept such an outrageous verdict in its
local application. did not know what to
expect next. In the past President Nc
kinley had been their true friend. They
hoped he would continue to exercise
his good offices in their behalf But
they were not sure what his action
would be in the face OF the altered cir
cumstances growing out Of the action
OF the Philadelphia Convention. They
could not conceive that he would fol-
low the convention in its record OF
inconsistency. and came home and
watched and waited for some express

FELL FROM BRIDGE

Body FiShed From Brandy
wine River This Morning
John Smith and Mamie Brown, Col
Ored, We're Walking Over Railroad
TruStIe When Smith Fell In

In some peculiar manner John
Smith, cOlored, fell from the railroad
bridge crossing the Brandywine creek
near the Jackson and Sharp plant last
night, and met death. Smith was in
company with a colored woman ahmed
Mamie Brown, who notified the police
that Smith had fallen from the bridge
and disappeared without an outcry. The
police held the woman until the case
was investigated. According to the
woman's story the two had been drink
ing, and were walking across the
bridge when she missed Smith and
heard a splash. She went at once TO
police headquarters, where she told her
story to the officers.
SEARCHING FOR THE BODY.
Although it was almost midnight
when the accident occurred, men were
out dragging the river for the body.
The search was kept up until about /
o'clock this morning, when the search
ers gave up in disgust, and many of
them expressed the opinion that the
cOlored womans story was a fabrlca-
tion. This morning about o'clock
the dragging was resumed. When
Daniel Fletcher and George Grading,
in one boat, and William Crowley
George Emory and George NJ. King. in
another boat, grappled for over an hour
for the body. At 9.45 o'clock this morn
ing Daniel Fletcher caught the body a
few feet south of the centre abutmeni
Of the bridge.
BODY TOWED TO WHARF.
The body Of the man was towed tc
Eleventh street bridge, where it was
kept fastened to the boat until the cor
oner came and took charge of it. II
soon became nOised around that q
drowned mans body had been recovered
and soon a curious throng lined the
shore and eagerly viewed the body as
1t was drawn from the water.
The drowned man was said to be a
resident of Virginia, and was in.
dustrious. The only thing in his
pockets was a Catholic medal.
1t has not been decided when the in.
quest will be held.
