DEADLOCK LASTING SIX YEARS.
Delaware Legislature Adiourns with
out Electing a Senator.

. DOVER, Del, March 8.-There was in
tense excitement to day when the pre-
siding office called for the joint ballot
for United States Senator on this, the
last day of the present session. The
vote resulted in the deadlock remaining
unbroken.
Delaware has not had full represen-
tation in the United States Senate since
the expiration of former Senator An
thony Higgins term in 1885, MIR. Hig
gins was candidate for re- election, but
was opposed by Edward Addicks, who
had recently moved to Delaware from
Philadelphia. Mr.. Addicks deadlocked
the Legislature and made the threat
that the Senator would be "Addicks OF
nobody" The deadlock has existed
ever since and the factional fight has
been perhaps the bitterest in the histor,
of American politics.

the amendment be passed
The amendment having pas ed on it's
first and second readings, under sus-
pension of the rules was taken up on its
third and final reading. Mayor Camera.
asked Alderman Payne to occupy the
chair while he made few remarks. He
stated that he was opposed to the ga
Ions and bad voted against them for
years. However, he wanted to see
justice done, and he thought this meas
ure might work hardship on some.
He and one other member of the Board
were in the grocery business themselves,
and those men who were carrying on
grocery and saloon business combined
might think that they were trying to
ttks advantage of them by forcing them
to close at p. m The amendment
might be for the best, but he did not
think it was.
Alderman McClanahan said he was
in favor of the amendment; that he and
Capt White had fought for the 10
O'Clock law in former Board and helped
save it. However, he thought action
ought to be deferred for further col
sideration.
Alderman Cant expressed himself as
being heartily in favor OF the amendment,
and wanted it passed.
The vote on the amendment being
called, the acting Recorder read the
roll. Alderman Brownlow answered
"aye," but when Alderman Voss' name
was called he asked to be excused from
voting. Mayor Cameron said he thought
he ought to take one eide or the other.
Alderman Voss still declined to vote,
however. Alderman Whites name
was called next, and he answered faye"
in no uncertain tones. The remaining
members of the Board in attendance
/ Aldermen Payne, Cant, McClanahan
and Nicholson-all voted "aye." This
gave six "aye more than two. thirds
majority of the entire Board--and thus
the amendment won.

DON'T WORRY.

Don't worry If you cannot have
The world as you desire,
But try to make the most of life
And happiness inspire;
A cheerful smile and sweet CONTEXT
Add sunshine unto life.
And have the greatest power to
Dispel its care and strife.
'Tis smiles that drive away life's gloom
And not sad worriment;
So lat our lives in happiness.
Not discomfort, be speut
Look up to God TO find HIS light
To brighten every day,
And when the world seems to abuse
Just look another way
And find the sunshine on beyond
The clouds that intervene,
Until the darkness passes by
And you the light have seen.
Don't worry. for to every cloud
A silver lining shines
And with the sorrows of the soul
Gods sOlace e'er combines.

Pressed and Grand Jury Re-
turns Another Bill-Nice
Point in Law Involved.

The case against John Thomas,
charging murder in the first degree for
the killing of Prof. j. G. Godfrey last Oc-
tober, was called Monday morning IN the
Circuit Court. The State announced
ready for trial, but it was not until noon
that the defense announced that they
were ready to proceed.
Court re- convened at 1:30 o'clock for
the afternoon session, and the work OF
selecting the jury commenced. One
hundred men had previously been sum
moned, from whom the jurors we're
chosen. These, together with the large
number of witnesses and spectators,
thronged the court room and the hall
outside.
This case, with the exception of the
Irvine murder case, is the most inter
esting that has been on trial in the Cir
cult Court at this place in recent
years. The attorneys in the case
are as follows: For the State,
Attorney. General Boyd, Capt. j. Il.
russell, and Messrs. G. L. hughes, E A
Cox ana Salmon & Turner. For the de-
fense-Messrs. j. G. Voorhies, Figuers &
Padgett, James A. Smiser, w. Il. Green.
law and w. G. Whitthorne.
When brought in court Monday morn
ing the prisoner looked pale and emacia-
ted. He has been in i'll health for some
time, and his confinement in jail has
not helped his condition.
The jury in the John Thomas murder
case was completed Monday afternoon
about o'clock, after calling between
sixty five and seventy men. The per
sonnel of the jury is as follows:
W. II. Edwards, Taylorsville.

TUESDAYS PRoor Ep1NGs.

Court convened promptly at O'Clock,
His Honor Judge Holding and the other
court officers, the jury and nearly all the
lawyers being promptly on time. Not
only these, but the spectators. 1t is
surprising how many men have time to
spend day after day indulging morbid
curiosity to hear witnesses detail the sad
story of the tragic death of fellow man.
Flaw in Indictment.
The proceedings of the Court were
delayed all the forenoon by the dis
covery this morning of fatal flaw in
the indictment; the Indictment charging
defendant With the killing of one J d..
Godfrey" whereas, as a matter of fact,
the name of the deceased was j c..
Godfrey. At first the expectant audi
ence could not understand the delay,
but the cause gradually leaked out, and
then the interesting query was what
will they do about it?'
Attorney General Boyd had left the
courtroom and was known to be
closeted with the grand jury, and finally
at l1:30 o'clock, the grand jury returned
another indictment, this time charging
the defendant with killing j. q. Godfrey.
| The Attorney General then appeared
before the Court and stated that the
counsel for the state had discovered
that morning for the first time the
misnomer, which they knew would be
fatal to the case, and the refore asked for
nolle pres; requesting that the minutes
show that the nolle pros. was entered in
the case of the State vs j. w. Thomas,
charged with the killing of one j. ID.
Godfrey.
Mr.. Padgett, for the defense, objected,
stating that the prisoner had been for
mally arraigned and placed on trial, the
jury sworn and plea of not guilty en-
tered, and the defendant was entitled to
an acquittal.
The Court ordered the nolle pros to be
entered.
By Agreement of Counsel.
The lawyers in the case and His Honor
Judge Holding held short private con-
ference, and by agreement it was de-
cided to have the trial under the new
indictment and before the same jury.
The Court therefore discharged the jury
in the case of j. ID. Godfrey, and they
were re empanneled to try the cause OF
the State of Tennessee VS.. j. w
Thomas, for the murder of j. G. God
frey, alias Prof. Godfrey.
The dinner hour having arrived,
Court adjourned until 1;30 p. m.
