so near or that 1t should be anticipated from the nature of his illness.
 The taking of testimony In the Sehley inquiry had begun when 1t was learned that Judge Wilson was dead.
 Admiral Dewey Deeply Affected.
 Admiral Dewey was painfully affect ed by the announcement of the death of the judge. A solemn stiffness fell over court and courtroom. The mem bers of the court looked at each other in amazement as if such thing was impossible. During these painful mo. ments of silence and stiffness the re- port was being verified. When con firmation came by telephone, Mr. Ray. ner arose and said:
 May it please the court. It becomes my painful duty to announce the death of Judge Wilson, my brother counsel In this case. The sad news has been verified"
 Admiral Dewey said: "rhe court Is pained to hear the announcement of the death of Judge Wilson. The court stands adjourned until tomorrow morn ing at II o'clock"
 Immediately on the adjournment of the court Admiral Schley and Attorney Rayner left for the Shoreham. On their arrival both went to Judge Will sons room to take charge of all the papers in his possession that bear on the case.
 They were vislbly affected by the sudden death of Judge Wilson, and tears sprang to the eyes of Admiral Schley, although it was plain that he was trying to suppress his emotion.
 Mir. Rayner said the death of Judge Wilson would make no change in the courts programme, and the hearing would go right along.
 The proceedings of the court were rendered very brief by the announce ment of Judge Wilson's death.
 Commanders Bates and Schroeder were recalled to listen to the reading of the official report of their testimony as given Monday, and First Class Ma chinist A. B. Claxton of this city, who had charge of the port engine of the Texas on the day of the battle off San tlago, had just taken the stand when the announcement of Judge Wilson's death came in.
 The Judges Career.
 Judge Wilson was one of the fore most lawyers in this city. He was identified prominently with the court martial of Judge Advocate General Swain of the army some years ago. He was also associated with the most noted criminal cases in the local courts for the last fifteen years.
 He was one of the counsel for Cap tain Oberlin NJ. Carter, and he kept his client from behind the penitentiary bars for several years.
 Judge Wilson was thoroughly in- formed regarding legal procedure as it affects the United States government, and his advice was often sought by those having claims against the United States.
 He was employed In the star route trials and the Pollard d-Breckinridge breach of promise suit.
 He was president of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone company. The judge was seventy-seven years old
 He was judge of the court of common pleas from 1860 to 1865 and judge of the circuit court in 1865. He was elect ed to congress from Indiana In Novem- Der, 1865. and reelected at the end of

Jockey Wonderly, a l9-year-old
boy, earns bigger solary than many
a bank president. He rides for j.
b. Haggin, the millionaire horse
owner, aud his income amounts to
$25, 900 per annum.
"I'll be happy forever with just
one girl" wrote j. III. Heating, the
author of "Just One Girl" but Miss
Jessie M. Stilson claims that the
song writer told her that she was
the one girl and then married an
other, ard now she is suing for. $780,
600 damages for breach of promise.
The accidental shooting, from the
effects of which colored man died
in this county on Wednesday last, is
the second horrible accident that has
occurred in Essex county within the
past fewuweeks. 1t plainly shows
the "danger in fire arms" and should
be an incentive to our people to be
careful in the use of the same. A
little thoughtlessness or carelessness
may result in a life time of un.
happiness, for he who is at fault
often suffers more than does the
victim of his carelessness.- Tide

DEMOCRACY STILL LIVES.

tWdshington Post, Independently
1t is question whether any part
other than the Democratic could
have retained such vitality as wa.
indicated in Tuesdays elections. III
similar circumstances we believe the
Republican organization would have
been hopelessly dislocated. Mr..
Cleveland left the Democracy divided
against itself in 1896. The war with
Spain, two years later, and the popu-
lar enthusiasm which followed eauip-
ped the Republicans for an even
greater victory in 1900. The leader.
ship of Mr.. Bryan added a fresh
element of strength to his antagon.
lists. The new conditions brought
about by the war and the vast way,
OF public sentiment fsvoring acquisi
tion, commercial and territorial ex.
pansion-all this attracted thousands
to the Republican standard. Party
lines were broken down in the novel
fervor of an infiamed patriotism, and
every emotion of which the human
heart is capable conspired to isolate
the Democratic party from the sym
pathies of the American people.
Yet it now appears that many
hundreds of thousands of voters saw
their way clear to supporting the
organization without forfeit of any
wholesome patriotic conviction. The
fictitious Republican establishment
ment in Kentucky, brought about
by the Bryan schism of 1896, fell
into ruins. The Democratic restora.
tion is complete. In New Jersey the
Republican majority has, been ma
terially reduced. In Maryland all
indications point to final overthrow
of the Republican advantage obtained
in 1895 through Democratic treach-
cry and detection. The victory of
the fusionists in Greater New York
is of purely local significance. That
victory would not have been possible
but for the cooperation of thous-
ands of Democrats. No party issue
was at stake. The verdict in New
York was merely for cleanliness and
decency at home.
Altogether, the Democrats have
every reason to felicitate themselves.
No party ever fought against such
overwhelming odds. No such strain
was ever put upon the courage and
fidelity of party men. 1t is true
that the Democracy has won no
victories excepting in the, cases of
Kentucky and of Maryland;
but it is evident that the stout
old party is alive, that its vigor is re-
turning, and that, freed from the
false leaderships and the impracti-
cable heresies that have so fatally
handicapped itduring the past eight
or ten years, it has before it career
of usefulness and incalculable pos
sibilities. The Democracy may well
take heart.

The dragon-fly is the natural
enemy of the mosquito. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has discovered
that the English sparrow, among its
other offensive traits, is fond OF
young dragon-aies, called "nymphs. y
When these emerge from the water
and come out with wings, the SPAR
rows catch them by the thousand
and destroy them. This, it is believed
results in greater prevalence OF
mosquitoes.

Christian Picnic at Reno.

The Christian church at Reno had
picnic i -ursday and invitations were
extended to the brethren of the Cen
tral Christian church of this city.
About 80 went out to enjoy the festiy-
tiles and listen to an excellent pro-
gram prepared for the occasion. Rev.
Edward Bowers, of Cleveland, was the
chief speaker He was a former pas
tor of the church here. The music for
the day was furnished by the Central
Christian church choir. Solos were
sung by H. B. Coen and Miss Coupler,
which added greatly to the entertain
ment of the occasion. Mrs. Hovis de-
liyered recitation in very pleasing
manner.
An account of the program would
be incomplete without mention of the
singing of the children, which was
so we'll received by the audience. Be-
side the literary and musical pro-
gram, continual round of sport was
kept going, The chief feature being
game of ball between the Sand Hill
club and the Sand Hill Sinners. II
was not surprising, considering the
occasion, that the Sinners were com
pletely beaten.
The picnic was held in an orchard
on the Kester farm, and was enjoyed
immensely by all present. IN.

Lancaster, o., Aug. 1.-Mr. H. A.
Snyder is drilling for oil on the Mary
Miller farm near New Salem. He ex-
poets to drill in the we'll in about ten
days. Mr.. Snyder helped develop the
famous Scio oil fields and has drilled
a number of wells in the Pennsylva-
mia fields. He says there is every in
dication of oil where he is now drill
ling and expects good we'll A gas
we'll drilled within a half mile of.-his

such a flow of oil that the gas drill
lers abandoned the well before it was
completed.
The well is being drilled for the

pally of Harrison county oil men who
have had experience in the Scio oil
fields. They are sinking thirteen
inch hole and propose to go clear
through to the Trenton rock If they

not be surprising if good oil field is
uncovered in this territory.
