there are two possible outcomes to the
present tangled political squabble in Della
ware" said Representative Hoffeker last
night. THE first possibility is that both
Dupont and Addicks will come to the
Senate, and the second that neither viii
come, but one man acceptable to Dupont
and one man acceptable to Addicks l
am convinced that the Republicans can
not possibly allow a Democratic Senator
to be elected and am sure they will net
1t may be possible that some good will re-
suit from the visit which Addicks is re-
ported to be about to make to President
Mckinley. Last week. in order to bring
about some settlement. the Addicks party
circulated a letter in which it agreed to
help elect any man that the Dupont fac
tion should choose. provided the Duponts
would agree to give Addicks the long
term. copy of this was sent TO Presi-
dent Mckinley. The Dupont faction re-
fused, chiefly because OF Dupont's avowed
determination not TO serve as Addicks'
colleague. 1t may be that the President
can use his influence with Dupont ard
persuade him to get over his aversion
II so. the deadlock will be settled. II
not. there will be long struggle. Those
deadlocks are aggrayating and some meas
ure ought to be taken to prevent them
Election by the people seems to be the
remedy"

Coast in Congress, Though he is a man

He was not born in California. but was

time. Anyone whose memory goes back
to the fight over California's stateship
will remember that those were stirring
times both in Congress and in the State
itself. Blood flowed freely out West and

bitter and personal. Slave or free was the
question and it was fought holly Wher.

The Beginning Of PENIS Grove.

Perhaps some of the citizens of the
Borough OF PENIS Grove and vicinity
would like to know something OF the
origin and early days of our town, In
1928 there was a company formed in the
Borough Of Wilmington, Del, under the
name of Wilmington and New Jersey
Steam Boat Company" composed Of resi-
dents Of Wilmington, and some living In
Salem County, n. J. The writer with
the late Mr.. Vincent, editor OF the Blue
Hens Chicken, and then the city Treas
urer OF Wilmington carefully searched
in Wilmington for some record of organ
ization OF the Company, but none could
be found. As near as could be learned,
the company consisted of a Mr.. Pussy,
NIahlon Belts, Mr.. Seal, Joseph Baily,
and others of Wilmington. Mr.. Baily
was the President OF the Company. As
President OF the Company, he conveyed
to Harris Flanagan, a small tract of land,
on the north corner of which the present
pier was built, or landed. This deed,
dated September 18th, 1929, conveyed
one half of the original house where Sedg-
wick X. Leap 4 Sons store now stands,
This deed has the seal OF New Castle
County, Delaware Court, attached.
Mr.. Benjamin Cooper and Barbara, his
wife, with seven co-heirs, conveyed by
deed to Harris Flanagan, under date OF
April IA, 1929, l47 acres of land. South
and West OF what is now Main Street,
and joined the Pier Company's property,

Court Seal, Of New Castle County, Della

Monday night until Thursday, On
Wednesday a resolution was passed to
adjourn ON the 22d.
On Monday night Gov. Voorhees, ap-
pointed former Sheriff David Baird, OF
