FAvORS A CONFERENCE.

Representative Clark Would Like All the
Republican Legislators to Meet and Dis
cuss the Senatorship.
State Representative Theodore F
Clark of Red Lion hundred, Thursday
gave the following statement concern
ing his views on the United States
Senatorship to the Morning News:
After much thoughtful and careful con-
sideration, am forced to believe that every
true Republican in, the State of Delaware,
who has the interest of the State, and the
general government at heart--no matter
whether he be Regular or a Union Repub-
lican--should desire the healing of the party
breach and the election of two United States
Senators. 49,
It seems very clear to my mind that
unless the two factions arrange their diffsr-
ences and get together very speedily, the
victory which we gained two years ago will
be lost for years to come. and we will have
beyond all doubt, two Democratic United
States Senators to represent this State.
Therefore, feeling as | do the very grave
importance of the situation, have been
constrained to take the liberty without con-
sultation with any member of the Legisla-
ture to make the following suggestion,
! namely:
That all the Republican members meet
some day in the near future, in the Young
Mems Republican CLUB rooms in the city
of Wilmington, and have a kind and gen
| tlemanly conference in regard to the situa
ton that now confronts the Republican
party to see if some way honorable to bott
| factions-without the sacrifice of principle
cannot be devised to unite the party and tC
| elect two Republican United States Sena
| tors. This would be an inestimable blessing
not only to our beloved State, hut a grea
help TO the national administration.
| trust that both factions will receive TIL
| suggestion in the same kind, patriotic ant
peaceful spirit in which it is made, and tina
| good may result from it.

from Rehoboth, where he had been
since Tuesday, suffering from neuralgia
of the heart.
When questioned about the proba-
bility of calling an extra session of the
Legislature, for the purpose of electing
two United States Senators, he said q

that call has been contemplated.
Referring to the interview between
j. Edward Addicks and Congressman
Ball in New York, DIR. Layton said he
did not know until he reached New
York that it was to take place. He had
gone to the metropolis on other bust
ness, and remained to hear the inter
view by request of Mr.. Addicks.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Samuel A. Bailey of Falkland Thrown
From His Wagon by His Horse Running

Samuel A. Bailey of Falkland Thrown
From His Wagon by His Horse Running
Away.
Samuel A. Bailey, age 60 years, whose
home is at Falkland, was thrown from
his wagon about II. 10 O'Clock Friday
afternoon, at Second and King streets
and seriously, if not fatally, injured.
The unfortunate man had been at
the Delaware Hardware Co. IS store,
Second and Shipley streets, and made
purchases of wire and pair of snip
ping shears, and had turned east on
Second street when his horse took
fright at boy with piece of barrel
stave which the lad waved in front of
the animal, at Market street. The
animal took the bit in its teeth and
Mr.. Bailey could not control it. The
wagon collided with post and he was
thrown out with great force, and was
picked up in an unconscious condition.
He was carried into the markethouse
and his head pillowed upon blanket
Dr. Fahey, who happened to be pass
ing, made an examination of the
wounds and revived him partially. He
was able to give his name. He was
taken to the Delaware Hospital in the
Phoenix ambulance.
Mr.. Bailey was in dazed condition
when removed to the hospital. He
wanted to be taken to his home, but
DR.. Fahey deemed it best to have him
taken to the hospital, where he would
have his wounds dressed and then he
could be sent to his home. His wounds
consist of an ugly cash at the left cal
and cuts on the back of his head.

CARS PULLED ny MAGNErs.

A change in the method of street
railway propulsion is the possible re-
suit of trial that has been made in
Chicago of the invention of p. w.
LETTER, a local mechanic and electrician.
Small electric magnets imbedded be-
tween the rails of the track are used to
pull the cars. Electromagnetic form
half of the motor and are placed in the
ground ina line half way between the
tracks. Tho other part-the armature
lis attached lengthwise to the bottom
of the car. 1t is long iron bar, cut
up into feet and SO attached that the
ends ordinarily are within an inch of
the top magnet boxes. But the primary
difference between the new system and
the trolley car motor is that the new
car is not propelled by the friction of
the wheels with the track, but by the
invisible force of magnetism.
Each magnet is connected with main
feed wires heavily insulated and bring
ing electricity from the powerhouse.
When the car is not running over them
the magnets are not in the circuit.
An arrangement Of the magnets, ac-
oording to polarity, is the scheme for
attracting the car and making it run
smoothly.
| The great saving which the inventor
claims is in the amount of electricity
required. He says rs amperes will
suffice for 40 cars, while with the
present systcnns75 amperes are required
fer one cor,

CATTLE ON A RAMPAGE.

Twenty-six Steers Broke Away From Their
caretakers and Ran Through Brandy
wine Park. st
Twenty-six steers, which were shipped
from Georgetown to this city, beihg
consigned to johnson Brothers, were
unloaded from cars at Fifth and
Church streets about o'clock Friday
morning, and when they were being
driven to the abattoir, on Tatnall
street, between Second and Third, sew
eral broke away from tho drivers at
Fifth and Pine streets and started in
different directions. While the drivers
were making an effort 10 round up the
ones which had started to run away
the main body of cattle also started on
a run and headed for Brandywine Park.
When they reached the park most OF
them ran up the drive and through the
woods to Rockford
One ran itself to death, dropping
from exhaustion at Third and Market
streets. Another suffered similar fate
at Delaware avenue and Broome street,
and another which was. with it was
also nearly exhausted. DR.. Mahaffy's
ambulance was summoned and they
were taken away. sEt
| The men who were driving the cattle
were Charles Marks, George Lutz,
| Hamilton Eabers, Frank Smith and
Peter Vandere. They were totally I'M
able to cope with the situation and
soon after the cattle got started Police
men McAteer and Bowmen and Park
Guard Black joined in the chase. Later
they were joined by Chief of Police
Black and Patrolman Edwards. The
cattle which ran toward Delaware
avenue trampled lawns and acted in a
very threatening manner toward people,
and the officers warned people to keep
out of their way. N
The greatest excitement was at Rock
ford. Twenty one of the cattle reached
that point. Two fell into the race
leading TO the mills of the Joseph Ban
croft It Sons Co., but succeeded in
getting out. The whole herd ran about
the woods in that neighborhood and
occasionally fell down banks and over
rocks. One is thought to have broken
leg, as it fell and was unable to re,
gain it's feet Another one was rounded
up nearby and was SO wild that it had
to be lassoed and tied to tree. Both
remained there until the ambulance
could take them away. 1t was neoes-
sary to lasso one of the steers which
caused the trouble at Delaware avenue
and Broome street.
Eighteen of the cattle were driver
into the stable yard of the Joseph Ban
croft d Sons Co., and kept there until
it was convenient to get them down Il
the abattoir.

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal.
Tangier, Va, Aug. 1.-The grabbing
season is at its height, and thousands
of crabs are being caught. Grabs are
selling here at 70 cents to 81 per hun
dred.
Trout, sunfish, blue fish, crocus and
other fresh fish are plentiful and cheap
here. They are sold every morning
and the taste of a good fish is not
after being caught.
The southern end of Tangier is
skirted by beautiful beach, which
Methodism was introduced on this
island, in 1907, through the efforts of
Joshua Thomas, fine grove of pines,
some as thick as barrels, stood on this
beach. This was Gods first temple.
Here the people, having no house to
worship in, met in the campmeeting.
Meetings were held in this grove until
| 1857, excepting 1874, when the
United States was in war with Great
Britain. The British seem to have
| made this island place of meeting. 1t
is said 1900 British soldiers we're here
in 1914, but they did not kill anybody
or damage property. They used the
oanipmeeeting grounds as a tenting
| grove, but at the request of Joshua
Thomas they spared the trees. While
the British were here, preparing to
\ attack Fort Henry and enter Balti-
more, Joshua Thomas preached to the
troops, and told them they would not
| capture Baltimore, which prophecy was
| fulfilled. Father Taylor, Father Hersey
and the Reys. James Massey, Vaughan
Smith and Charles Hill were among
/ those who preached at the campmeet-
ings here. 1t Is related of Father Her
sey that he came to the camp one Sat
urday afternoon, a stranger and pecu-
liarly dressed, some thinking he was a
beggar, but his identity was soon re.
vealed. He preached the next day, and
denounced the sin of pride. Turning
to minister in the pulpit who wore a
satin vest, Father Hersey put his hand
on the vest, and said "pride has its
root right in the pulpit" while the
| wearer burst into tesrs. Once q moi
from Clifford, Va, came here TO break
up the camp and kill the preacher, but
the islanders we're warned of theil
coming and prepared 10 meet them, The
mob marched up the beach to the heal

DEAR FOLDED HANDS.

Dear, folded hands, so worn with care,
So quiet on the pulseless breast,
Will any burden need you there,
II heaven is place Of rest?
And you, dear heart, will you forget
The struggles of these lower lands?
Or is there some sweet service yet
For folded hands?
Yours was never-ending task
Born of never-ending need,
Our selfishnese, it was, to ask,
Your sweet unselfishness to heed.
And nowin the unwonted rest
Long promised in the better lands,
How can you sit an idle guest
With folded hands?
No tears to dry, no wounds to bind,
No sufferer to tend and bless
Where will those eager fingers find
, A need for all their tenderness?
Yet, knowing all they did before,
Perchance the Father understands,
And holds some precious work in store
For folded hands.

BLASTS FROM THE RANTS HORN.

You cannot cheat God and the devil
too.
The light of God cures the lust of
gold.
The grace of God is the glory of His
child.
The tree of knowledge is not the
tree of life.
There are no pure lives without pure
hearts.
The richest promises are for the
poorest people.
Faith has foot to walk as vol as
an eye to see.
We are more likely to lose our gains
than our gifts.
Character is the best commercial
asset in the world.
To do is not to be. We ought to be
more than we do.
God fights our foes without if we
fight those within.
Don't trim your lamp so zealously
as to oxtinguish it.
l endanger my own liberty when I
force it on another.
Fear may influence action, but it
cannot change character.
Sounding brass is not the sign of one
sound in the faith.
The sun that bleaches sanctity whittier
tans sins darker.
Troubled hearts are the only ones
that can claim Gods peace.
The world needs pure-thought
crusade more than one for pure food.
A great many are living in hopes
there will be no collection in heaven
The Christian is like candle, hs
cannot be kindled without being CONF
sumed.
It's no use for your lips to be talking
of grace unless your life tastes of it.
The man who gives to advertise his
charity has no charity worth advertis-
ing.
Truth does not need any proof or
evidence, for the real truth is self-evi-
dent.
