REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN AHEAD

This is the last day for registration,

most to register the full vote. The Re-
publicans, up until today, were far
ahead, and in some Of the districts al
most the entire Republican vote was
registered. The Democrats had great
trouble in getting their men out, find
ing them listless.
All over the State today the Demo-
Gratis are making an extra effort 20 reg
lister their men.

day." said a prominent Democratic
leader this morning. A Kent county
leader, who was in Wilmington yester-
day, said that the Democratic politi-
clans in Kent would register every
man. In Sussex county the same
strenuous efforts will be made.
In this city the Democrats are mar
shaling their forces in the districts
which have heretofore shown a small
Democratic majority.
After the completion Of the registra-
ton today, all registration officers are
required to make oath to the accuracy
of their registration books as made up
during the five days sitting.
For the convenience of the registra-
tion officers two notaries public will be

was attended by all classes Of persons,
from the highest TO the lowest, and the
interest continued unabated until the
last. Everyone went there to bid and
secure some article which they could
have as a personal memento Of the late
attorney.
The sale aggregated in the neighbor-
hood OF $4,000. and the bidding al
times was simply marvellous. One am
tique sofa brought $3.50, and in yester-
DAYS sale a small Sheffield plate plat
ter sold for s54.
This old platter was resiurectec
somewhere from Mr.. Birds closets, and

PRICE OF COAL

BEING REDUCED
Fuel Will Not BE Much
Higher Than 1t Was
Last Winter
SOFT COAL DROPPED 81 TODAY

Everything points 20 the price Of
coal being little more than last year in
this city during the winter.
Today the price Of soft coal took an
other drop. This time it went down 81
on the ton. and is now selling for So.
Coal for domestice purposes Will also
be reduced next week, but no great diff
ferehce will be made in the price until
the anthracite situation Is settled.
Local Dealer Talks
One of the largest dealers in the city
when seen this morning regarding the
local situation said:
Coal will not likely get below 81 a
ton for some time, but If tho miners
give us all the coal we want Il will be
sold to the Wilmington people for
$3.50 a ton.
"OnIe of the things that will make
coal high here for some time is the
fact that it is being shipped West in
large quantities, so that the lake re-
gion may be supplied before the regu-
lar freeze stops navigation. Almost
the entire output is being shipped
there"
Il is also rumOred that the owners
will demand so cents extra on each tor
to recuporate their losses which have
occurred during the strike. This viii
necessitate an increase in the selling
price, but the people Of this city mal
rest assured that no eXorbitaat prices
will be charged and that the large
firms will sell the coal ON a very small
margin. This will compel the smalle
dealers to bring the price down, thu
causing the cost OF fuel 10 be but litth
more than last year.

EXTRA SESSION
10 BE CALLED
Proclamation Printed and Now at the
State House Awaiting sigma
ture of the Governor

In political circles this was the only
topic discussed this morning. All sorts
Of rumors were heard and some of
them came from reliable sources. They
were all to the effect that Addicks
could not be elected, but that II he
would withdraw the two vacancies
could easily be filled.
One rnmor was to the effect that the
Legislature would be called and that a
Union Republican would be elected as
one OF the senators. II was further
said that In the event of the next Leg
islature being Democratic. the man
would resign and Governor HUM
would appoint Addicks TO succeed him.
In this connection it is remembered
that Governor Hum some lime ago
said that he would never appoint Ad-
dicks.
Is II a Bluff
Another man said that Hunn's am
nOuncement that the session would be
called was rrcmature and that he was
now trying to find a way to hedge.
To back up this opinion those who
think the Governor was bluftlDg refer
to an interview he gave out carly this
morning, in which he said II two or
these things were cleared up special
session would be called before mid
night
The Governor refused to state the
result of the conference held in Phila-
delphia- between Addicks. Senator
/ Quay and himself.
In THE meantime the members OF the
Legislature here are anxiously await
