MISPLACED BOOKS CAUSE TROUBLE
COlen Ferguson Loses Two Books. But
Finds Them

Register in Chancery Colen Ferguson
was given scare this morning When
he was called upon TO produce his 'prin-
cipal' and surety recognizance index
boks he could not find them. He searched
IN all the closets but no trace Of them
could be found. He also searched all OF
the other offices I'm the building but the
books were not to be found.
Mr. Chandler, chairman of the Bundina
Committee, was notified Of tho loss and
he began an investigation. The books
were finally discovered in 4 Delaware
Clark's Office where they had been carried
by lawyer. who was making search
late last night.
Mr. Ferguson is very indignant over the
liberty taken as no person has a right to
take articles from the Office without his
knowledge. He is responsible for them
and If they were lost his bond would be
brought into trouble.

new SHIPBUILDING
GONBINE INCORPORATED

Trenton. N. j., June 1s.-The Office
! OF the Secretary Of State was kept
open until late last night to receive
the papers Incorporating the United
states Shipbuilding Company. This is
the company that includes the Cres-
cent shipyards, of Elizabethport, n. j.,
OF which Lewis Nixon is the head. The
company was expected to be incor-
porated with an authorized capital Of
$40 600 900. but the papers filed last
night fix the capital at $S0OO This
amount, Of course, can be Increased.
and. in fact, the incorporation Of the
company for a very small amount is
the policy that was followed by the
United States Steel Corporation and
other big concerns, which subsequently
increased their capital TO many mil
lions.
The United States Shipbuilding Com
lDany, in addition to including the
Crescent shipyards of Elizabethport. is
understood to also include the Union
Iron Works. Of San Francisco; the
Bath Iron Works. of Bath, Me-; the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company. of
Wilmington, Del, and a number OF
other prominent shipyards throughout
the country. A feature of the certif-
cate filed last night is a provision per-
Uniting the company to convert its pre-
lferred stock into bonds. This provision
lis evidently made to overcome the diff
lficulty which now confronts the United
States Steel Corporation in it's effort TO
do the same thing. authority for which
was not set out in its articles Of incOr-
lporation.

ABBOTT and PENNEWILL
WILL NOT BIZ NOMINATED
From Various Causes Both Have
Become Unpopular, Particularly
in Their Own Party
specIal . the EvenIns JournaL

MlllOlus June 10.
Milford. under the surface, Is agi-
tated over political matters. and there
are likely to be surprises in store By
the time the votes are counted next
November.
The matter OF chief concern is the
election OF two State senatorA A part
Of this town is in Kent. and part in
Sussex, and there arc people all anx-
ious abOut the SUCCESSORS Of Senator
Abbott and Senator Pennewin. Both
districts are strongly Republican, but
III Is doubtful whether either can be
elected II nominated.
From various causes both have be.
come exceedingly unpopular. especially
among the voters OF their own party,
anu each will have the fight OF his life
20 make the nomination. The know
ing ones are offering 70 bet that Alb
bott cannot carry his own hundred,
and II this proves true. he will lose
the nomination. Frederick and Fol-
ton are both in this senatorial district,
and the former has candidate in
Joseph Frazier, a young business man,
who is well-lmown and popular. Alb
bott is counting on the support OF Dr.
Gerogo W Marshall. and expects him
TO swing the colored vote into line, but
almost to a man the Union Republi-
can vote-getters are after the scalp OF
Abbott.
Pnnewlll has Joined forces with Alb
bott. and each will help the other.
S. b. Reed wants 10 be senator from
the Sussex district. and viii carry
Cedar Greek hundred. Pennewill may
carry Northwest Fork. and II so
it will make a contest that will have To
bo settled in convention.
The Abbott-Pennewill combination
has brought out John Bennett for the
lower house from Cedar Creek, and he
is 20 groom the forces for Pennewill
bor senator but the local politicians
are on TO the scheme and it is likely to
die premature death.
It now appears that n Abbott and
Pennewill 20 back TO the Senate they
will both have the fight Of their lives
and IT, will begin with the primaries.
For the Legislature from Milford hun
dred F. w. Davis is being pushed by
the anti-Abbott forces.

MITCHELL WILL MAKE
INTERESTING STATEMENT

WilkesbaTe, Pa, June 1S.-A state
ment Of interest, and one that may
have strong influence upon the course
of the'anthracite coal strike is expect
ed from President Mitchell today or to-
might He broke his rule of silence this
morning and said: Il may make a
statement today; l may make it at
noon or possibly later" There are all
sorts of conjectures as to the scope Of
the statement, and the air of expect
ancy about strike headquarters is in
marked contrast to the dullness which
has prevailed for a week past. 1t is
probable that it will be in the nature
of a review of the miners case, and
an answer to the letters and state
.ments given out by the presidents OF
the cOal-caTying railroads.

MILFORD PEOPLE
MUCH AMAZED
Revelation That PSrdOnS
We're Promised Prisoners
Causes Sensation

Milford, June 1S.-Accustomed as the
people of this community have been
since the advent Of Adticksism to po.
litical scandals. high wire walking
lfiip-haps and the general cont0rtions
of the Gasman's aggregation, yet the
disclose of last nights Evening
Journal certainly was the sensation OF
the season.
Eager hands bought up the supply of
Evening Journals so quickly that with
in five minutes after the evening train
arrived there was not a copy TO be Sc
cured, except by theft or by loan. There
is no division of sentiment, (outside the
circle of the political highbinders), but
that the attempt to bribe men to vote
the Union Republican ticket in ex-
change for the promise of liberty for
Bennett, the two Mills boys and Will
son, now in the county Jail, was a most
ldastardly movement. Friends of those
who are supposed to be at the head of
the effort to increase the Addicks count
next November, say there must be
some mistake about it all; they can't
see how such prominent men could be
50 near-sighted; it is all "A political
nightmare to them, and they see
,crumbling away the last remnants to them
of political deeency pertaining to Ad-
dicks fellowship.
On Milford's streets were gathered
last night many groups discussing the
situation. Men who had signed the
numerous petitions circulated here for
the liberation of the fox-hunters say
they had no idea of politics entering
into the matter. They wash their
hands of the whole AFFAIR
One man (well-known here and at
one time a State officer), said last
night that on the night following the
conviction of the three men mention
ed letter was received from Dover by
a high muckey-muck of the Union Re
publican party here, in which the sub
iects of wearing regulation stripes in
the Kent county Jail was discussed, and
a suggestion made THAT the recipient
OF the letter should see a brother Of
one of the men and tell him that SEN
lator -- could prevent. by his in
fuence the wearing of the convict
suits. Just why this appeal should
have come at the time It did. is now no
longer a mystery. The brother men,
TONED is a man of influence and a life
llNlb HOuOldDit lftAlONidl- Aut lnluE
is plain enough for a child to under
stand, now that the Evening Journal
has given the key Nothing was said
about Jacob Wilson. one of the incar-
lcerated men. He was already known
to be a Union Republican. and there
was nothing to be gained to the party
by interference in that direction, but
Bennett and the Mills brothers were
Democrats, and had many sympathetic
friends and neighbors who, it was con-
lcluded, would do anything almost to
secure their liberty. And so the scheme
was matched
There is a question in the minds of
the people here as to how much infiu-
ence they had with the Board of Par
dOns but. STILL with the pledges in
hand. the votes were to be counted
upon.
Developments are awaited with con-
siderable curiosity and interest, and in
the meantime the work of the Even
ing Journal in making the matter pub
lie is being commented upon by every
one as deserving the commendation of
the general public.

DUNCAN REFUSED MONEY
Levy Court Wants Him to Accept 500
Bat He Would Not

It Is said that at the closed door meet
ing Of the Levy Court yesterday after
noon, George Duncan was offered 500 to
settle his claim for dirt used in the con-
struction Of Silver Run road He indig-
nantly refused and would take nothing
but what his bill called for.
This bin has taken up the Levy Courts
time and the members have been anxious
10 agree upon some basis of settlement
The probability now is that Duncan will
not receive a cent as some OF the commits
sioners do not think the bill is correct as
II conflicts with an agreement made with
Duncan for the dirt.
