WEDNESDAY. AUGUST - 1904
TIE launching of the boom fol
Fred Eden Bach for Register of
Wills, caused quite mild sensation
in certain quarters. The announce
ment Of his candidacy came like IL
clap Of thunder out of clear sky
and has set some people to guessing
what it means. 1t only means that
Mr.. Bach has given up his position
In rural route department at Wash
ing and will settle down in Will
mingtOn once more, although he
kept his residence here since he has
held the position which he has Just
relinquished. His Ii any friends
persua led him to bect me a candi-
date for Register OF WAS. and he
consented ana now asks the votes
Of his many Republican friends at
the primaries A nomination for
this Office is equivalent to an cleo
ton, and from praasut indications
this will be an off year for Demo
Gratis in Delaware.
WILMINGTON had sensation yes
terday, caused by one woman s!our-
ing another. The wu,Gai H::;s.2
shooting the other to,i I! "a
laudanum, intending 10 cad 70. .. .
But both the murusr :. ,.. :
were frustrated ant t..
murderess is locke. 4! FL,
hall, to await her trial a i
Cochran. The cau-,, is s;I1., $40
been jealousy. Whea tAp "..l,n
c0ols off and has time to t0ini, a.Ie
will realize that it Is not best - III
low your angry passions to rise.
Our city for some title has been
free from sensations sucn lbs oc-
CURED yesterday. We we'll remem-
Der the time when you would have
heard the newsboys crying Extra,
extra, full account of the murder
and suicide. But those days have
gradually passed away in Whining
ton and only few newsboys are to
be found on our streets selling the
city papers.
THE sale of the H. & H. plant is
now certainty. 1t was effected
through the agency of Scott Il Co.,
brokers. This plant, the largest
ship building concern in our city,
has been sold to the United States
Shipbuilding Co. One million dol
lars was paid, AT present the old
officers of the Company will remain
and it is said the firm will, in fact,
have more to do than for years plst.
The United States Shinbuilding
Company has been capitalized at
f45, 900, 900. It is not known how
much water is i'll this Trust. We
only hope it will not mean the aban-
doning of the Fl. q Fl. plant.
The Every Evening calls upon
Prof. Chester and DR.. ROBIN to eth
or prove their assertions about the
increased death rate Of Wilmington
from typhoid fever or retract their
statement. 1t is now UP to these
two gentlemen to come down the
Tree ana admit that they were mis-
taken in the facts which they gave
to the public about our drinking wa
ter and big death rate. Their fig
ures and those of the Board Of
Health, do not tally. Somebody
has been mistaken. 1t can't be the
Secretary of the Board of Health.
Then it must be the learned gentle
men at Delaware College.
Is it any wonder that some people
after asking the city tax rate, come
to the conclusion that it is cheaper
torrent than to own your own home
The on y satisfaction il owning
your own home, is to prevent tie
landlord from warning you ont the
25th of March. Few new dwellings
have been erected in the city this
year. Landlords have no trouble
to rent their properties in Whining
ton at very fair rents. With the
demand for real estate, It should be
on the increase instead OF on the de-
crease, Probably under Republi-
can rule, there may come change
for the better.
