WILL TAKE NAME, AND EMBLEM.

Union Republicans Propose to Legally
Become the Republican Party of the
State of Delaware.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal.
Georgetown, Dec. 8. That the Union
Republicans Of Delaware intend to
make an active cam paign next year was
demonstrated here today, when promi-
nent Union Republican OF Dover, in
nigh offio. .al position. made the remark:
"In two months time the Union Re-
publ cans will hold State Convention,
for the purpose Of formulating plans fer
the campaign and one of the main
objects OF that convention will be to
take the name Of the Republican party
Of Delaware, Instead OF the Union Re-
publican party, and that they intend
to adopt the emblem Of the eagle, the
emblem as now used by the Regular
Republicans. He further remarked,
1.-THE Unions wor,ld only ne doing what
was done to. them, In 1895, when the
Regulars bolted from the contention
and stole their emblem and name.''
A further inquiry ELECTED from the
same party the assertion that il would
be an easy thing to do, as the Unions
had the clerks OF the peace of the three
counties, and there was practically no
hindrance in the way fol the Unions to
take whatever they wanted, as they had
these county officials with them and
could select the positions of their
tickets on the official ballot and make
other necessary arrangements without
any difficulty whatever.
Notwithstanding the above plan, the
Regular Republicans Of Sussex county
win resist the Union Republicans in
next years. campaign with the same
vigor and determination as in the past.

The Union Republicans may have
cheme whereby they may attempt to

Re two different things. One OF their
faders is quoted as saying that this

Unions had the clerks of the peace OF

TWO PEOPLE ATTEMPT SUICIDE.

George Robinson shoots Himself Over the
Heart and Marion Goodlich Drinks
Laudanum.
Two oolored people, each about 25
years of age, mads unsuccessful at.
tempts to commit suicide Monday morn
ing, but both will probably recover.
Shortly after midnight Marion Good
Itch, colored. of New York, drank 10
cents worth of laudanum at her
boardInghouse, 405 East Front street.
DIR. II. g. Buckmaster was summoned
and at first the woman refused to allow
him to treat her, using force to prevent
his using the pump. But the pump
was finally used aud the poison taken
from the body, after which she began
to recover. She was left at the house in
the cave of an attendant, who was in
structed not to allow her to go to sleep.
Some of her friends are of the opinion
that jealousy can be assigned as the
cause.
George Robinson, who boards at
Sixth and Lombard streets, shot him
self over the heart with 3S-calibre
bulldog revolver, at about TO- 30 o. o'clock.
at the residence of Reba Wilson, colored,
No. 1S Mechanic street, after which he
coolly walked TO another part Of the
house and asked another man. who was
there sick at the time, to take his
revolver and say nothing about the
shooting. An alarm was sent out and
Capt. Black went to the house. When
he arrived he found Robinson sitting
up holding his side and, summoning
the Phoenix ambulance, had him sent
to the Delaware Hospital. The captain
found the revolver in the cellarway,
with one chamber empty. Robinson
would assign no cause for his act. After
ths shooting 1t was found that his left
arm was partly paralyzed, but the
bullet had not reached the heart and
the hospital physicians were of the
opinion that he would recover if COM
plications did not set in.

Information for the Members of the De-
partment of Delaware.


Information for the Members of the De-
partment of Delaware.
John W. Worrall, commander of the
DEPARTMENT. OF Delaware, q. A. r., has
promulgated the following order:
Comrades: Blanks for post adiutants and
post quArtermasters' reports, Tor term ending
December 31st accompany this order. These
reports together with the per capita tax of
10 cents for each member In good standing.
should be forwarded to the assistant adjutant
general Immediately after the last post meet
ing in Decenber. Post commanders will
see that these reports are forwarded without
delay, as fuilure to comply with these in
structions causes unnecessary labor to the
department officers, who are required 10
make a consolidated report to National
headquarters not later tnan January 10th,
1902.
There is no reason whatever but what the
prompt and highly gratifying manner in
which the last semi. annual reports due June
both, 1901, should not be repeated, demon
strating that although this department may
not equal many others in point of numbers,
yet responds with military precision to every
call of duty.
To guard against errors in making up the
reports, the number of members reported in
good standing in the last report Jane 10th.
1901, is marked In red ink on the Adiutants'
blank forms and must not be changed.
The installation of post officers will take
place at the first stated meeting of the post
in January. The senior past post COM
mander, or any department officer or
member of the department staff who may
be present is authorized to act as installing
officer. Chief Mastering Officer William
H. Moystin, will install Posts Nos. /, 2, 4,
8, 13 and %. The department. commander
advises that this ceremony of installation
be made much of. and trusts every post
will see that it is effectively performed.
Post commanders should immediately
after the 31st day of December, next, for
ward to these headquarters a complete list
of the comrades who died during the year,
so that their names may appear in the next
Annual Department Encarnpment journal.
Posts should keep in mind that the
National Countersign for 15O2 will not be
sent to them until after receipt OF semi
annual returns for December 31st, 1901, are
received at department headquarters.
As we approach the time of final muster
out in this world let US draw nearer to-
gether, and do all we can to keep the post
from going TO pieces. Close up, comrades,
close up. With this view, comrades, it Is
important that we should all make greater
effort to unite all the soldiers OF that great
strife in one common brotherhood.
By order of
John w. Wurrall,
Department Commander.

I SEVENTH STREET BRIDGE.

Not Yet Thrown Open TO the Public, But
May be Used.
(The Seventh street bridge is understood
to be about completed and. although not
open to general travel, can be used. the
bridgetender being there and able to turn
tne draw. The next step will be for the Levy
Court to have a government engineer in
spect the bridge and sec il It conforms to
the government regulations. After that, an
engineer may inspect the work to fix the
amount OF extras to which Contractor
Patrick Fahey may be entitled. Some of
the stone work was made higher than the
original plans called for.
The contract price Was S25, 900, and Mr..
Fahey holds that it did not ipclude.ap-
proaches, but others believe that it did in
clude them.
