CATCHING THIEVES.
Selma Police Think They Have Dis
 covered Bad Gang.

Selma, August S.-(Special) )-The police of this city have made an important catch and one which may lead to the breaking up of the gang of sneak thieves that have infested Selma for many months. A negro by the name of Russell Shin was arrested yesterday afternoon on the Irwin place, about nine miles from the city He had stolen a bicycle belonging to little boy and sold 1t for a dollar to lad by the euphonious name of Virtuous Yoeman. In order to escape from the city when ne heard the police were after him Shin stole another bicycle, and had ridden 1t into the country when arrested. On the way back home he unbosomed himself to the officer and told them that Walter Maxey, who runs a fish and oyster depot and a negro restaurant on Washington street, had been the beneficiary of his thefts, and that Maxey was with him when he went Into H. H. Hudson's home few days since and stole a valise full of clothes. Maxey has hitherto borne a good reputa- ton, and last Tuesday morning he car ried the valise that the negro Shin left at his place around to MT. Hudson, but told him 1t had been left at his place by an unknown negro. The police expect to prove that Maxey warned the negro Shin to leave town and told him where he could steal bicycle to go away on.
 After Maxey was arrested the officers searched his house and brought to the council chamber a numDer of articles which have been identified by citizens as their property.
 The trial of Shin occurred this morning and he was sentenced to ninety days on the street. Maxey will be tried tomor- row. He claims he can satisfy the au- thorities as to how the articles came to be in his trunk.

RUSHED BY De WET.
British leomanry Thought to Have
Lost Heavily.


Lost Heavily.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-The following
dispatch has been received from LORD
Kitchener. dated Johannesburg:
General Rundle reports that on the
night of Dee. "a Colonel Firman's
camp at Zeefontein, consisting or
three companies of yeomanry and two
guns. was successfully rushed by Il
strong commando under De Wet. 1t il
feared the casua tiles were heavy. TWO
regiments of light horse are pursuing
the Beers
Rour resistance has always been very
strong in that part of the Orange River
Colony which was the scene of Generai
De Vets Christmas coup. A great
quadrangle of blockhouses is being
built there, the four points Of which
are Vereeniging. Nolksrust. Harrismith
and Kroonstadt. At the sout heast cor
ner of this quadrangle is long, open
space from Bethlehem to Lndley
where the square of hlockhouSes is still
incomplete, and here De Wet made his
attack.
Colonel Firmans force probably
amounted to 400 men. and the disaster,
especially the loss OF the guns, the pos
session of which may enable DE Wet
successfully to attack the blockhouses
creates disturbing impression.

PREFERMENr in politics goes like
other thlngs in this world. with
some few exceptions. Some men
are lucky. Take the election OF
Frank Speakman who was elected
Prothonotary at the last election;
when he ran for the nomination he
had no idea Of being elected, but
he was willing to make the trla'.
Few Republican leaders thought
the Recorders plum would fall to
a Republican, when the nomination
y was made.
Mr.. Speakman took the chances
and won. With divided Repub-
!ican party his defeat would have
been certain and for time it look
I'd as if such a contingency would
arise. He is the youngest office
holder 10 New Castle county, aud
We believe, in the State. He has
thus tar filled the office as ably as
anv of his prede cessors.
This is one instance of where
luck won. There are numerous in
,tances OF where other men have
been knocked out every time, even
after securing the nomin alton.
Take the case OF Purnell J. Lynch
who was nominated no less than
twice tor Sheriff of New Castle
county by the Democrats and each
time was defeated, a Republican
sheriff being elected both times.
He spent nearly all his money in
irving dor the goal ol his ambition
only 10 give it up in the end and
ret out Of politics.
Few of our politicians have made
any big money 10 politics, at least
none Of them have made enough to
retire.
T. 1t Is an enticing game and hun
dreds OF men have been dazzled by
its a,luring possibilities. Have
YOU ever stopped to think what has
become OF the men who ran our po-
lltical affairs less than Is years
ago? Can you recall many OF their
names who to-day constitute the
men who control our conventions:
Men, like the weathef, chah &C.
that is, younger element is enter
ing political life and controlling its
affairs, from the Federal Offices te
the Municipal Offices in Wilmington.
Look around YOU and note The
young men from Mayor George Nj
Fisher to Clerk OF Council.
In the county Offices its the same
lhe younger element has torget
ahead, from Sheriff Mcdaniel t
Recorder of Deeds Clark.

est officials in the Court House row
The probabilities are that whel
their time is up, they will be sue

The trust idea will be opposed by
