jeremiah Harrigan has spent many
years in jail for killing man under
circumstances which many persons be-
lieved at the time to be wholly justi-
fable. Since his conviction repeated
Efforts have been made to obtain fer
him a pardon, but at all times here
tofore some sinister influence has
stood between him and executive elem
ency, even when his petition was en-
dcrsed by many OF our best citizens
Through all his longings and disap-
pointments he has remained an ex-
emplary prisoner. observing the disci-
pline Of his place Of confinement and
showing no traits of viciousness. On
more than one occasion he has won his
pardon by acts Of bravery and self-sac-
rifice seldom performed by a life pris-
oner, and these things have added to
the weight of public sentiment in his
favor. Therefore we believe that the
action OF the Board OF Pardons yester-
day, I'm recommending that he be given
his liberty will be approved heartily
by those who know that his crime was
prompted by the fury which possessed
him. when he learned that his home ant
honor had been violated ruthlessly by
a man who professed to be his friend.

WANTS $4,000
FOR LOSS OF ARMS
Strattner vs.. Electric Com
paDy Suit Will be Big
Legal Fight

To recover $4,000 for the loss OF his
arms, which were so horribly burned by
electricity that they had To be amputa ted.
Frederick Strattner Is now suing the VIII
mington City Electric Company. The case
was opened In Superior Court this morn
ing II presents an array of brilliant law
yers who viii make the case the most in
teresting one on questions of law that has
been tried before the Delaware courts for
many yeara. AS It is, the claim for dam
ages is the largest ever demanded by a
plaintiff before the courts Of this State.
Strattner IS the l9-year-old son of Mrs.
Sarah A. Strattner, in whose name the
suit Is brought. lie Is an intelligent boy,
who told the court that on October. is,
1899 he entered the employ OF the defend
ant company TO learn electrical engineer
ing. His first duties were IN the capacity
OF meter boy" which consisted of regu-
latlng the electrical current as IL passed
through the meters on its way to the out
side feed wires. The boxes were fitted
with levers by which the current was
regulated, and while operating them the
young man was shocked into insenslbil-
| ity by the current and his arms so badly
burned that they had to be amputated.
The plaintiff is represented by Harry
Emmons, Of this city, and Mr. Weaver. OF
the Philadelphia bar. James w Ponder
of this city. and j. A. Bloomington, OF
Chicago, appear for the company. Messrs
Weaver and Bloomington are regarded a.
being among the greatest lawyers Of IN,
country. Mr.. Weaver is perhaps bes
known to Wilmingtonians, he being IN,
Quay candidate for the district attorney
ship nf Pennsylvania, for which position
he is making vigorous uphill fight.
IL Is probable that the case will occupy
the attention OF the court for three days
Tho only witnesses examined this morn
Ing were the plaintiff and Dr. Howar,

THE SITUATION REVERSED

Now that the Democrats have a ma
ic4ity in City Council for another two
years what will they do in the matter
of hliing the several Offices coming
within the appointive power OF that
body? Two years ago Addicks gave the
Democrats ten members of Council, in-
Guiding the president. They could not
agree upon city auditor, clerk Of Coun-
ell, auditors clerk, clerk of the
market. inspector Of oils and fluids,
meat inspector clerk of the Finance
Committee and bailiff. Six of the mem
bers formed a combine. fixed up a slate
and determind to swing the caucus.
The remaining four members refused
to abide by the action and deadlocked
the election. AS a consequence the old
city officers designated above held
over, much TO their qualification.
This time there will be but seven
Democratic members, and four Of them
will be the Big Four who deadlocked
the situation against the Blk Six. But
one OF the Big Six is returned TO Coun-
Gil. Now we have the situation re-
versed. The Big -Four will constitute
a majority of the Democratic caucus
and the surviving member of the Big
Six will hold the key TO the situation
and have IL within his power to dead
lock an election unless the Big -Four
give him what he wants.
The thing may not shape up that
way, but there is a possibility of It..
and the indications are that there will
be more or less Democratic worriment
and bad blood before it finally is ad-
justed. But wouldn't it be a political
joke if the solitary remnant Of the Big
Six were to bring the Big
Four 10 their knees at his feet and
make them play the role Of suppli-
cants?
