We have not heard that any of
our people intended to interest
themselves in making an exhibit
from this parish to the Buffalo
fair. We are satisfied that this
parish could get good, cheap and
productive advertisement of the
resource and capabilities of this
parish. If every individual ow-
ming some industries, the farmers,
the lumbermen ETC.. would come
to some understanding about this
matter, a creditable exhibit could
be made. This is an occasion we
should take advantage of, and we
should take an active interest in
the matter at cnce, if we want to
reap the full benefit of tbeexhibit.
The police jury at it's last ses-
siou has appropriated 81, 500 for
the Justices of the Peace and Con-
Stables of the parish, to be distri-
buted among these officials, accor-
ding to the business done by them
the past year; if some of them do
their business in loose manner,
and do not keep any record of
their cases, they will undoubtedly
fare badly in the distribution of
the appropriation. We believe
this change is good one, because
some officials under the old sys-
tenn were paid more for doing no.
thing than those who did large
amount of work. The report is
that most of the criminal work of
the parish is done by the Justices
and Constables of the first and
fifth wards, and it such be the
ease, these officials shonld be paid
according TO the work done by
them.

METHODIST SOCIAL UNION.
Project Endorsed by Chief Justice Lore a
tire Preachers Meeting.

Project Endorsed by Chief Justice Lore at
tire Preachers Meeting.
A Methodist social union is to be
formed by the several churches in Will
mington. AT the meeting of the
Preachers Association, at Union
Church, Monday morning. Chief Justice
Charles b. Lore made an address on
the subject, IN which he endorsed the
movement. He said he thought it would
result in greater good among the
churches, as 1t would tend to bring the
laymen Of the several churches closer
together and promote harmony and
more aggressive work. The following
committee was appointed to devise
plans and arrange for the formation of
such union. The Rev. William w.
King, D. D., pastor OF Grace Church I;
the Rev. ", l.. s. Murray, d. d.,
pastor Of st, Paul's Church; Presiding
Elder Robert Watt, the Rev. j. W.
Easley, pastor Of Scott Church. the
Rev. W. g. Koons. pastor OF Nazareth
Church, New CASTLE, Chief Justice Lore
and Mayor George. NJ. Fisher. The
committee will probably be prepared
to make report at the nesting next
Monday morning.
The object is to form union
with which the laymen of all of the
Methodist churches ia Wilmington
and surrounding towns can become
affiliated. to be an adjunct, something
on the order Of brotherhoods In churches
Of other denominations.

ATTEMPT TO REPEAT
THE SAMAR TACTICS

Manila, P. l., Nov. II. Major Will
liam l.. Pitcher Of the Eighth Infantry,
commanding the Mindoro expedition,
reports that the garrison of Abra de
1tog was attacked yesterday by force
of insurgents commanded by Lenooos.
The Filipinos apparently attempted to
repeat the Samar tactics, but the Ameri-
cans, who we're breakfasting fully armed,
completely routed the insurgents, who
left FIVE men dead on the field. each
having rifle and ammunition. One
American was seriously wounded.
Capt Noyes of the Thirtieth Infantry,
commanding detachment of 80 men,
has captured dsserter, named Richter,
OF the Sixth Artillery wearing the uni
form Of an insurgent lieutenant.
Major Pitcher says he rsoently cap.
tured three officers and large portion
of an iDsurgent company, all fully
armed. 1t is believed the insurgents
recently received an Illicit supply OF
munitions of war.

THE VISIT OF TOM JOHNSON.

Guesses as to Its Having to Do With Street
Railway Matters said to be Wrong.
The visit of Tom L. johnson, mayor
Of Cleveland and trolley lnagnate, to
this city, caused somewhat of ripple.
1t was guessed that his visit had some
connection with trolley matters. and
the fact that he called upon Willard
Salisbury, gave color to the guess, be-
Cause Mr.. Salisbury has at one time or
another been active in financial deals.
The guessers connected Mr.. johnson q
visit with the reported deal for the
purchase OF the trolley lines which join
Wilmington and Delaware City, with
which tho names of both Harry A.
Richardson of Dover and Mr.. Sauls-
bury have been mentioned.
But Il. Coleman du Point of the Della
ware Button Co., who is friend of
Mr.. Johnson's, says IN effect that the
guesses are erroneous. In speaking Of
Mr.. Johnson's visit, Mr.. du Point said :
"It had no connection with street rail
ways. Mr.. Johnson and | have been
associated in business for number OF
years. He just stopped in town to see

Mr.. Cobb was born at Cleveland, o.,
March 9th, 1874. He lived o good part
OF his life in Chicago, but tor over 20
years had lived in the East. He had
obtained several patents, and was OF an
inventive turn. He came 10y this
honestly from his father, Zenas Cobp
OF Chicago who was interested In
mary patents and inventions with tho
late George NJ. Pulln al. Mr.. Cobb
was engaged 10 manufacturing, and
was the prime mover in the Chicsgo
Wire Co, ut Landlith, and later the
Chicago Hose Co., which is now run
by his eldest son, Henry Zenas Cobb.
Mr.. Cobb was fine looking man. Iis

10 that capacity wrote all tie orders
issued by the general during the famous
march from Atlanta to the sea"
Only few weeks ago Mr.. Cobb was
granted pension of S12 per month. 1t
YVES always his policy, while in good
health to refuse to apply for pension
holding that only those who were dis.
abled by wounds received in the war,
or disease contracted in the service,
or we're incapacitated for occupation
through illness should participate in
the benefits of the pension system.
Extreme physical disability for more
than a year induced the application on
his part,
