ELOpEMENT ENDS IN RECONCILIATION
Mitchell German of DeImar, Leaves Mrs. Har'
nOusOn and Goes Back to His Wife.


On the midnight train that passed
through Dover Friday night were Mr..
mar.
German is the wealthy brick manu-
facturer of Delmar who eloped from
that town abont two months ago with
the discarded wife of Frank Harmon
son of that town. Before leaving Ger
man raised every cent available on his
property, leaving his wife almost des-
titute. In order to obtain her sigma
ture to certain papers it is said he told
her he intended to purchase a brick
yard in Perryville, Md.
When Germans absence first was dis
covered his wife and friends feared
foul play. Then came rumors of
woman in the case and then it was
learned that he had left the town in
company with Mrs. HarmOnson, and
had been seen with her in Broad Street
Station, Philadelphia, by several resi-
dents Of the town. Later it was ascer-
tained that German had left the woman
in Philadelphia and sailed for Europe.
Mrs German, who always had the
deepest confidence in her husband
who was active in church circles and
a Sunday School superintendent, was
prostrated by her sorrow and for a
time it was feared she would succumb
to the shock. Later came news to the
effect that German was mentally un-
balanced, which was the cause of his
strange flight.
Two weeks ago German returned
from Europe, and wrote to his heart
broken wife from Norfolk, Va. Seve-
raj days ago she joined him in New
York, where they have married
daughter living and there the recon
ciliation between the wronged wife and
erring husband was completed.
Germans entire estate is advertised
for sale and it is the supposltion in
Delmar that the family will move from
that town. The amount that German
collected before taking his flight is
variously estimated at between 500, 900
and $50, 900.

SUGAR CONSUMPTION IN UNITED STATES.
Total Consumption Last Year Amounted
TO 2,2l9,S47 Tons.

As good deal has recently appeared
in print in regard to the consumption
of sugar in this country, the various
sources from which it is obtained, the
amount of duty paid thereon, ETC., the
following facts and figures will, we
believe, be of interest.
The total consumption of sugar in
the United States last year was 2,219,
847 tons, and based on the average in
crease of 6.34 per cent. during the past
nineteen years, the consumption this
year should be 2, 1850, ,5S5 tons. Of this
quantity, 100000 tons in round fig
ures will come from American sources,
say Louisiana being able to produce
$50, 900 tons, United States beet
factories 1900 tons, Hawaii $50, 900,
and Porto Rico. $50, all being free
of duty, leaving 1,36O,5S5 tons to come
from other sources and on which duty
is paid. The average duty assessed is
$36 per ton or a total of S4S, 9S1, ,O6O,
it is evident that $36, 600, 900 addition
al is paid by the people in order to pro-
vide the government with Al millions
for revenue of which the Government
is now in need. If the duty is taken
off Cuba sugar, the benefit Of
IS millions goes to the people.

GOVERNOR HUNN'S VISIT
TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
THEY TALK OVER THE DELAWARE STU
ALTON AND FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS.
President May Recognize Representative Ball
or May Withhold Federal Appointments
Until Factions Get Together

Governor HUM, of Delaware, was
among those who called at the White
House last Thursday. Since the an
nOuncement of the appointment
of Mr.. Heald at Wilmington
there has been great anxiety in
the camp of the Addicks followers,
and it is believed that Governor
Hunn's visit to Washington at this
time was to ascertain the intentions of
the president with regard to selecting
the Federal officers of the State. Gov
ernOr Hum is a Union or Addicks Re-
public IN, and there has been talk
lately about compromise on the Sen
atorial contention by which the Gov
ernor would be selected to fill one of
the vacancies. The Delaware State
officials have been attending the Butfa-
10 fair recently and it was during their
absence from the State that the Will
mington postoffice was given to Mr..
Heald upon the recommendation of
Representative Ball. That having
been done, the Addicks people claim
that the President should appoint one
of their men to the Collectorship of
Customs at Wilmington and Colonel
Barnard is strongly recommended for
the place. Col. Barnard was in Wash
ington Thursday and saw the Presi-
dent for few minutes, but nothing
was said about the collectorship, the
presence of Governor Hum, who saw
the President prior to the admission
of Colonel Barnard, rendering it i'm
polite to discuss the matter, ever had
there been opportunity Governor
HUM declared that his visit was sim
ply to lay respects to the President,
but it can be stated confidently that
he brought up the question of Federal
offices III Delaware, which led to a
brief discussion of the peculiar situa-
tion in Delaware with regard to its
practical disfranchisement in the Uni
ted States Senate.

SMALLPOX CASE NEAR DELAWARE CITY
State Board of Health Does Not Fear an
Epidemic, But are Taking Precautions.

Smallpox has invaded the barracks
in Fort Dupont near Delaware City,
and there are now two soldiers who
are now suffering with the disease.
The attention of the State Board of
Health was called to the matter on
Wednesday last and DIR. Alexander
LOwber, secretary of the board, at
once proceeded to the fort and placed
it under quarantine, ordering the suf-
fering to be confined in a pest house,
isolated from the rest of the garrison
AS the quarantine expired Saturday a
special meeting of the board was
called and met in Delaware City to dis
cuss the situation. After careful in
vestigation it was decided to extend
the quarantine until October goth, by
which time it is hoped that the disease
will be stamped out If such is not
the case, however, the quarantine will
be extended until such time when all
danger is considered past. Strict pre-
cautions are being taken to prevent an
epidemic, all soldiers having been vac
cinated and all mail matter sent from
the fort is thoroughly fumlgated. In
speaking of the condition of affairs
Saturday night, DIR. Lowber said that
he did not fear an outbreak of the dis
ease, although all precautions would
be taken to meet any emergency.

MURDER CASE NEAR GALENA.
George Dean Committed TO ElktOn Jail on
Charge Of Killing Thomas Brown.

George Dean, colored, of Kent
county, was committed to Elkton Jail
last Saturday charged with the muir
der of Thomas Brown, colored, also of
Kent county. Browns body was
found in a clump of bushes near Fred
erlcktown, Cecil county, along the Sas-
safras river shore; it was covered by
blanket; the head was almost pounded
to jelly; the face was bloody and bruis-
ed. DIR. Scott of Galena, made post
mortem examination. Justice of the
Peace w. ]. Duhamell of EarlevilIe,
Cecil county, held an inquest. DR..
Scott proved conclusively that Brown
had been killed and that the murderer
had used some sort of blunt instru-
ment. A verdict was rendered in ac-
cordance with the facts.
Suspicion was directed to George
Dean, eolored, who was last seen with
the deceased in Fredericktown, on
Thursday night, at the hotel and later
on the road. Near the body of Brown
was found bottle that contained coal
oil. Witnesses were produced who
testified that Dean had been seen
carrying this bottle of oil.
Dean was arrested in Kent coun ty
by Constable Joseph Boyd and brought
to Cecil, where he was committed by
Justice Duhamell. Brown and Dean
had both been drinking heavily and
the supposition is that they had gam.

killing, but admitted that he anG

Governor Tells of Union Republican Streugt

Governor HUM declared that the
Union Republicans had ever been
ready to reach an agreement under
which the Regular Republicans would
be allowed to name one of the two
Senators, and were still prepared to
enter into such an a greement. But
with S5 per. cent of the strength of the
party behind them, the Union Repub-
licans were not ready to make an alb
solute and ignominious surrender to
the minority. The President is un-
derstood to have responded that it was
not for him to undertake the settle
ment of the factional differences in
Delaware, nor would he permit these
to embarrass aud damage the public
service, so far as duty made him res
ponsible for il.
Governor HUM left for Dover last
Thursday afternoon, having obtained
very little satisfaction from the visi [
so for as the distribution of Federal
patronage is concerned. 1t is proba-
BILE the Governor will confer shortly

President Anxious For Harmony.

The President informed Governor
HUM that he was aware of the anxiety
that the Delaware situation had cost
President Mckinley. and of his earn
est desire that the Republicans should
settle their factional troubles and elect
two senators. He shared that desire,
and thought the Republicans of Della
ware should not lose the opportunity
to give the Senate two Republican
Senators. Until that was done he did
not feel like doing anything with the
Federal offices except when the public
interest required action as was the case
with the Wilmington postoffice. Gov
ernor HUM was given to understand
that when action was impelled by the
public interest, Representative Ball,
who was the sole representative of the
people of the State, would be con-
suited. The Governor explained that
if that course was to be followed the
Democrats would secure the two Sen
IL
that the Union Republicans represen-
ted at least s. per cent of the party
strength in Delaware and that Mr..
Ball was a compromise candidate Sc
lected because of certain promises
made by the Addicks Republicans to
the National Committee during the
progress of the contest by rival dele
cations at the Philadelphia National
Convention. The Addicks candidate
for Congress-, Mr.. Layton, the present
Secretary of State, was withdrawn in
favor of Mr.. Ball, with the implied un-
derstanding that fair treatment would
be accorded the Union Republicans.
If that understanding was to be vic.
lated and the fruits of the victory
be given the Republican ticket in Del.
aware by the Union Republicans trans
ferred to fractional minority, then
there would be no further effort tC

SOCORRO COUNTY COAL.
An official of the Colorado Fuel and

near San Antonio. Socorro county
have been eminently satisfactory
Drilling has bene going on for some
time, and the investigators are salts
fed that coal exists in sufficient guam
titles to warrant the establishment of
extensive works. One vein is fully
four feet in width. From all indica-
lions the supply of coal in the field is
ineXhaustible. What is of the greatest
Importance is that the coal proves to
be of an excellent coking quality.
There is not at the present time a
single ton of coking coal to be obtain
ed in the territory. The small vein at
Madrid has entirely run out and the
extensive works of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company at that place are op-
Grated by means of coal brought from
Colorado. The demand for coal and
coke in Mexico, Arizona. and New
Mexico is very great. The fields are
only six miles from the Santa Fe rail-
way. and the intention of the company
is TO build a branch to connect with
that road at San Antonio This COM
pany will begin to haul coal to the sta
ton until the branch can be construc-
ted.
