REGULARS REJECT PLANS
FOR UNITING THE PARTY
HARMONY PROPOSITION OF THE UNION
REPUBLICANS TURNED DOWN
Harmony Between the Republican Factions
Seems Almost Impossible Though They
May Unite on State Candidates.

At largely attended meeting of the
Republican State Committee at Will
mington on Saturday, the harmony
proposition sent some time ago by the
Union Republican State Committee,
was rejected. All the members of the
state committee were present with the
exception of H. H. Billany. The
meeting was held in the office of
Philip Q. Churchman, the chairman.
The communication of the Union Re
publicans was discussed and various
opinions expressed as to the manner
in which it should be answered. None
of the members of the committee,
however, appeared to be in favor of
accepting the proposition submitted.
Finally n committee composed of
George Massey Jones, DIR. L. H. Ball,
Robert G. Houston and Henry b.
Thompson was appointed to draft a
reply. A copy has been sent to j.
Frank Alice, chairman of the Union
Republican State Committee.
Same Old Cry About Addicks.
In their reply the Regulars declare
that even were there no other con-
siderations the present apportionment
of delegates to the state conventions
as arranged by the Union Republicans
would be very serious objection.
The reply declares that the committee
does not think there is much use Of
attempting to merge the two organi.
cations so long as the zone cause
(Addicks) remains, and it suggests
that the plan pursued during the last
two campaigns of separate organiza
tions and then agreeing on a common
ticket has worked very well and KEEP
the confidence of the voters.
The reply intimates that such al
arrangement would be agreeable 10th
Regulars for the coming campaign
1t also adds that for the two organiza
tions to merge would cause the sup
porters of the Regulars to regard thei
conduct as piece of political tricker
and forgery, and this would nc
strengthen the party. The part
would be weaker if such an attempt q
consolidation were made.

SERIOUS FALL FROM A ScAFFOLD.
Portion of it Gave Away and John c. Garner
Fell HeadIOng to Porch Floor.

While John G. Garner, one OF our
well-known carpenters, was at work
building a porch around the property
of w. NJ. Broadway, on Delaware
street, Saturday morning, he made an
over-reach, when portion of the scat
folding gave away, throwing Mr..
Gardner head-foremost to the porch, a
distance of ten feet. At first it was
thought that his neck was broken.
The fall rendered Mr.. Garner uncon-
scious for an hour or more. DIR. E. s.
Dwight was summoned, and Mr.. Gar
ner was taken to his home. Fortu-
nately no bones were broken, and Mr..
Garner is able to be about again. For

dictiOn of Delaware. A. o. U. w..
The Grand Lodge of Maryland, An
cieEt Order of United Workmen, does
not relish the idea of giving up Wash
ington to the jurisdiction of the Grand
Lodge of Delaware. At the last meet
ing of the Delaware Grand Lodge, a
delegation from Washington asked
that that city be taken under the wing
of Delaware, it being felt that it was
not developing under that of Mary
land. The Delaware representatives
decided to accept Washington, if
Maryland would cede it, and to go to
theSupreme Lodge if Maryland refused.
The Maryland Grand Lodge met in
Washington Tuesday and Wednesday.
A. B. Jones, J. E. Carroll and G. B
Prettyman were present on Wednesday
and announced that Delaware was will
ing to take Washington. But the
Grand Lodge of Maryland refused
very decidedly to give up the Capital
city. The next step will be before the
Supreme Lodge.

FORMER SMYRNA RECTOR
PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY
DEATH OF REV. DR.. JULIUS E. GRAM.
MAR IN BALTIMORE, THURSDAY.
Noted Divine Was Stationed at Smyrna Early
in His Ministry and Left St. Peters
Church in a Prosperous Condition.

The Rev. DIR. Julius +. Grammar
rector of Trinity Protestant Episcopal |
Church, Broadway and Pratt street,
Baltimore, Md, and for nearly forty |
years active in that city, in the work
of the ministry, died suddenly of heart
disease at o'clock Thursday morning
at his home, 2422 Madison avenue.
DIR. Grammer's health has not been
robust for several months, and he had
been cautioned by his physicians, not
to oyertax his strength. Recently he
contracted a cold while going to the
Maryland Agricul iural College to
preach, after delivering a sermon at
Trinity Church. The cold revived an
old bronchial trouble, and aggravated
the heart trouble to which he had been
subject, bringing on angina pectOris.
He was not thought to be critically i'll
until Wednesday night, and his sud
den passing away was a shock to his
family, and his many friends.
DIR. Grammar was rector of St
Peters Church, Smyrna, from 1858 to
1861, and while here, the Parish en-
joyed a prosperity, unparalleled in its
history. Rev. Brisbane, at Asbury NJ
E. Church, Rev. Thompson, at Pres
byterian Church and DIR. Grammar, at
st. Peters Church, made strong trio
in the religious work of Smyrna
When DR.. Grammar left st. Peters to
accept a call to Columbus, Ohio, there
was much feeling, and so reluctant
were his parishiOners to see him go,
that every inducement was made to
have him remain.
He was a pronounced churchman
and while believing that the organiza
ton of the Episcopal Church wen
back in historic succession to the time
of the Apostles, he refused for an in
stant to accept the conclusion thaf
Episcopacy was the only permissabl
form of church government or the SOLE
chance of covenanted grace. He lovet
his Christian brethren in all the
churches, and was fond of associatine
with them. This'attitude of DIR. Gram
mer's was so prominent and outstand
ing a characteristic, that it may bt
, safely said, that not only was no Epis
copal minister more widely known fo
his INSTRUMENTATION sympathies
d but no minister of any church, wa
more generally recognized as emphas
, izing to larger extent, the fraterna
. relations of all those who worship tn
I same Lord.
: His widow, who was Miss Elizabet
Sparrow, daughter of Rev. DIR. Williar
Sparrow, survives him, and his thre
sons, DIR. Carl E. Grammar, Norfolk
Va; Mr.. William S. Grammar, New
s. foundland, and Mr.. Frederic Levi
Grammar, of Baltimore. A daughte
i Miss Maud Grammar, died suddenl
s five years ago, while visiting Blu
l. Ridge Mountain Summit, Pa. III
d funeral of DIR. Grammar took place
t. Baltimore, Monday, and large nun
a ber followed the cortege to its la
d resting place.

PROMISING OUTLOOK FOR STRAWBERRIES.
Healthy Vines Give Evidence of Large Crop
on the Peninsula this Season.

Strawberry culturists are much con-
cerned, though apparently well pleased
over a development of the growth of
the vines this year. Because of the
continued downpour of rain and the
washouts, it was feared that the vines
on lowlands would be washed, and rem
der useless for the future. The vines
on the low ground, however appear to
be more healthy than those situated on
high land.
All the berry vines are putting out
well, and feast of the small fruit
seems sure for the coming season. A
much larger crop is expected than last
year, when 5,275. 40S quarts of berries
were shipped over the Delaware divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania railroad alone,
l or the equivalent of 1,591 cars of 15,-
tts0 pounds minimum.

LAWSUIT OVER ALLEGED HORSE DEAL.

VS.. ROwdel which was Settled AmicabIy.


vs. BOwdel which was Settled AmicabIy.
A dispute over what was supposed to
have been horse trade was amicably
settled yesterday before Magistrate
Cooper. Isaac G. Foraker, son of
Masculine Foraker, came to town Sat-
urday and after imbibing freely tried
to sleep of the effects in the shed in
the rear off w. G. Roe's store. While
in this state of intoxication, HoY~rd
Bowdel of the "LogaD Farm }2seZ
employ of Robert McMniilh, A. Q.
back to the shed and uahitched For
aker's horse and left his own in the
place of it. Bowdel also claims t.
have put $500 in Foraker's pocket
alleging that it was the understanding
that the trade had been agreed upon
between them. When Foraker awoke
about eight o'clock Saturday even
ing and found his horse gone he began
to investigate and subsequently ac-
costed Bowdel who acknowledged that
he had made the exchange, and would
not trade back because of the alleged
agreement. Foraker brought suit
against Bowdel, the case was heard be-
fore Magistrate Cooper, and was
amicably settled by both taking back
their own horses, the plaintiff paying
the cost of the suit.

May Unite on State Candidates.

Should the organizations be merged,
the committee declares, one or the
other factions would be in control of
the state convention and the state
committee, and this would lead to bad
feeling among the members, with
the dominant faction. The party
would be weaker under such a course.

CONFERENCE CHANGES ARE

THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL SESSION AT
CRISFIELD AN ENJOYABLE ONE.
Bishop Reads Out the Changes, Showing That
Few Had Been Made-Rev. J. NJ. Arters
Goes to 0dessa-0ther Changes

The thirty-fourth annual session of |
the Wilmington Nj. E. Conference has
closed st Crisfeld, Md, after most |
delightful session. The presiding
bishop Isaac W. Joyce of Minneapolis,
Mimi, won the hearts of most every
body with his hearty genial manner
and the session at all times was full of
spice and interest. The hospitality of
the Crisfeld people was genuine.
Most of the session was taken up in
routine work and the hearing of re-
ports of the several districts.
The relation of Rev. P. II. Rawlins
was changed from supernumerary to
effective and the conference requested
Bishop Joyce to appoint him agent of
the Stewards Endowment Fund.
Rev. J. R. Todd was granted a loca
ton at his own request The relations
of G. W. Bowman and Jas. Grove were
changed from effective to supernumer-
airy. The relation of J. T. Van Burk
allow was changed from effective to
w. Day udIu Mdo
called. The committee on ministerial
qualifications reported and he was re-
ceived on trial. Quite a stir was
caused by the re-admission of Rev.
Jonathan S. Willis to active work in
the Conference. In 1886 he was grant
ed certificate of location, and since
that time has been actively engaged in
Delaware politics. The motion to
readmit was sprung as a surprise by
Presiding Elder Baker. Rev. V. S.
Collins made move to have the mat
ter referred to the Committee ON Min
isterial Qualification, but his forces
could not be marshaled at such short
notice and the oppo sition to the ex-
Congressman was slight. Rev. Willis
will have charge of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in South Milford.

Official Paper of the City.

An important and interesting argu-
ment was presented before the supreme
court last week in connection with
the famous lottery cases which are
being retired and which, if sustained
bv the court, VIII have an important
bearing on the trust question. The
point made is that the federal govern
ment has tho power to control inter
state commerce in i Is broadcast sense,
in this instance, to the extent of pro-
hibiting an individuals carrying "A
lottery ticket from one state to anoth-
er, the opponents claiming that such
carrying is not commerce and the
prosecution proposing that ali inter
course is commerce in the sense meant
by the constitution. If the court sus-
tains this argument, which is set forth
by Assistant Attorney General Beck
it will enable the attorney general,
under the same decision, to prosecute
numerous trust cases heretofore sup
posed to he without the jurisdiction
of the federal gov ernmenU.
